GHOST IN THE STORM now available in audio!
I am very, very pleased to report that GHOST IN THE STORM is now available in audiobook, as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy.
You can get it at Audible, Amazon US, Amazon UK, Amazon AU, and iTunes.
An author’s opinion of his own work is often suspect, but I have to admit that of the first four GHOSTS books, GHOST IN THE STORM is my favorite. I wrote the first three GHOSTS books back in the bad old days of traditional publishing, when traditional publishing was still the only game in town. Naturally, I never got anywhere with tradpub, and in fact when I wrote CHILD OF THE GHOSTS in 2010, I was so sick of trying to deal with tradpub that I decided CHILD OF THE GHOSTS would be my final novel.
However, this all paid off 2011 when I started self publishing, because the first three GHOSTS books were free of any publisher claims and I could publish them myself without any hassle.
By the time I wrote GHOST IN THE STORM in 2012, I had discovered the Kindle, and STORM was the first Caina book I wrote intending to self-publish it from the beginning.
Which meant I finally felt free to do whatever I wanted in GHOST IN THE STORM rather than writing it with an eye for submission guidelines. And it paid off! STORM was the first book where Kylon of House Kardamnos, Rezir Shahan, Lord Corbould, Sicarion, and numerous other characters showed up, all of whom would return again. Sometimes, like in the case of Kylon, I would get emails actively asking when certain characters would return once more. And the legacy of Rezir Shahan and the Battle of Marsis were still a problem for Caina in GHOST IN THE TOWER, eighteen books later.
In some ways, the 1st three books were kind of Caina’s extended origin story, and GHOST IN THE STORM is when the series really got going, because I was finally able to write it with the intent of making it into a long series. But, as I said, an author’s opinion of his own work is often suspect.
So, thanks for reading, and for listening! There wouldn’t be twenty-two GHOSTS books if you didn’t keep reading them. 🙂
