Best new news
The Salt-Stained Book is available as an audio download via Amazon / Audible / Itunes. None of this would have happened without the enthusiasm and generosity of professional voice actress Anna Bentinck. To see Anna at work was a revelation. I'm planning to write about it in my next Authors Electric blog but meanwhile all you have to do to hear here is go to Amazon (etc) and click the sample button.

My piece was published on the Authors Electric blogspot on August 9th http://www.authorselectric.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/listening-to-salt-stained-book-by-julia.html
Now Anna Bentinck has posted a response. "I'm an actress and in seven years of narrating audio books there has never been an author present at any time." http://www.authorselectric.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/should-authors-be-present-at-audiobook.html
I realise how lucky I was. The SSB is now available via Audible. Amazon and iTunes
