“Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse” Audiobooks

- September 12th, 2009 at 3:19 pm by --KALEB NATION-- -

Audible, the publisher that distributes audiobooks for everything ranging from John Green’s Looking For Alaska to Lemony Snicket’s A Series Of Unfortunate Events (and even Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga) have just release the audio versions of Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse, voiced by the amazing Marc Thompson! I just finished listening to the preview and it sounds AWESOME!

One of the best things about having an audiobook of something I wrote is that I get to hear all the interesting (and sometimes slightly bizarre) ways that the voices of my characters are interpretedpro. I love how Joris sounds strikingly similar to one of  Dr. Claw‘s minions! They have a preview of the audio, so you can hear Joris (along with Shambles, Bran and the rest of the characters) yourself:

As part of their page for Bran Hambric, Audible asked me to talk about some of my favorite books and why I like them (this list certainly includes Looking For Alaska and perhaps a few surprises!). If you’d like to read the article or preview the audiobook, check out Audible’s Bran Hambric page. You can also order the audiobooks from Amazon.com.

My friends and I went to the local bookstore to see Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse in stores on 9/9/09! I also secretly signed a copy in the store, so if you’re at a bookstore in the Los Angeles area, you might stumble across it :D

My lame attempt at a message to the finder ;)
