I was very happy and excited to hear that Notorious had been shortlisted for an Audie Award for Best Romance Audiobook of the Year! The shortlist is here - as you can see,
Notorious is in great company! I’ve read the books by Eloisa James and Susanna Kearsley and enjoyed them enormously. The greatest credit for the nomination, however, must go to the narrator, Katy Kellgren, who is something of an audio star. Katy has EIGHT Audie nominations this year!
When Katy was preparing to record Notorious she contacted me with various questions about the book and its interpretation. I was hugely impressed by the amount of work she puts in to preparing for each book. We got chatting and I interviewed her for the Word Wenches here. The insight she gave us into the world of the audiobook narrator was completely fascinating.
I’d like to thank Katy very much and congratulate her on such an awesome list of nominations. I am very proud and honoured that Notorious is one of the audiobooks shortlisted.
Desired is also available as an audiobook from Audible. Many years ago Lord Greville’s Captive was also turned into an audiobook and serialised on the radio as well. But remember that romance audiobooks should carry a health warning – don’t listen to them in the car if you are easily distracted by those passionate scenes! A friend of mine almost drove into the back of someone else whilst listening to Michael Praed reading a historical romance. Richard Armitage’s audiobooks could be equally dangerous and various other actors with dark and delicious voices!
