Huzzah! After being in the works for nearly a year, the Danger Peak audiobook has finally arrived this week! In fact, it was ready this past Monday. Why am I only announcing it now? Good question! I was actually out of the country on vacation and didn’t want to try writing and posting a blog on my tiny iPhone screen. (Also, I had really bad reception.) But that’s beside the point! The important thing is it’s here!
This is something that people have been asking me for ages (basically since the book was first published nearly 3 years ago). I guess people prefer listening to reading nowadays, and that’s fine by me—as long as you check out my book! 😊 As I reported before on this here blog, this is not just a standard, run-of-the-mill audiobook with some guy reading it. It’s going to be filled with sound effects (picture the turbocharger kicking in and the Action Bike revving up to full power) and even a synth-like ‘80s score powering the narrative. This is truly an immersive, cinematic experience. In other words, this is as close to Danger Peak: The Movie as you can get—for now!
And no, I’m not the one reading it; I’m a decent writer but can’t act my way out of a wet paper bag. (Just ask the high-school director of the one-act play I was in when I froze up on stage!) Instead, The DayDreaming Network, the company producing the audiobook, hired Brian Dewar McNamara, a bona fide actor who has starred in, among other projects, the feature film The DUFF, alongside Ken Jeong and Allison Janney. That’s pretty good company! Brian found a unique voice for each character, especially Robert and Rinnie, and he does a hell of a Dr. Howard. He perfectly captured his tone: a little wacky, condescending, and slightly sinister. For a 5-minute preview of the very beginning of the book, click the Amazon link below. For a more action-packed preview, check out my Instagram page, and click the Reels tab to search for an older post about the audiobook.
That’s it! All you folks need to do now is get to clicking! Danger Peak is available on over 50 audiobook platforms, but here is the Amazon link (because I’m sure as hell not posting 50 links):
And remember, if you’re already an Amazon Audible member, you get to listen to this thing for free. Lucky you!
