It doesn’t get much more desert than Twentynine Palms, at least not here in the US. My husband is in the Navy and we were stationed with the Marines in Twentynine Palms CA for a few years. The town is fictional, but descriptions of the desert are based on real experiences. The entire series takes place in the desert in Arizona. Were there any real life inspirations behind your writing? Throughout recording, they will upload a chunk of chapters at a time to ACX and I’ll review and approve them. So far, Erin and Noah have done an fantastic job of making my visions a reality. I highlight the way the character looks, attitudes, accents, and anything I think will help them bring the character to life. How closely did you work with your narrator before and during the recording process? Did you give them any pronunciation tips or special insight into the characters?īefore each book, I provide basic character sketches for any new characters. Having the duet narration really takes the storytelling to another level. After working with him and having a fantastic experience, I decided to use him and his partner Erin for the rest of the series.


Striker received quite a few auditions and Noah’s was the clear favorite. I chose Noah for the first book through ACX’s audition process. Now that we’re on to the fourth and fifth books, the process is easy and we have a great working relationship. Noah was my clear favorite, and thankfully he’s a pro at this and was very patient and helpful with a total newbie.


I listed the first book in the series, Striker, on ACX and received a bunch of interviews. After some research, it looked like ACX would be the best option. The first time was a bit daunting because I didn’t have a clue what I was doing, what the experience would be like, or if turning my book into an audiobook was a good financial decision. Tell us about the process of turning your book into an audiobook.
