READING WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED

Do you enjoy listening to audiobooks? They’re great for long car trips, commuting to work on the train or bus, getting your steps in while out walking or on the treadmill, doing housework, preparing meals, or even relaxing with a good book when you want to read with your eyes closed.  

A year ago, my author Lois Winston entered into a partnership with narrator/producer Alex Bitton-Bailey to put the Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mysteries (those books Lois writes about me) out as audiobooks. Ever since, they’ve been making steady progress. A Stitch to Die For, the fifth book in the series, is the latest audiobook available through Audible, iTunes, and Amazon. Scrapbook of Murder, the sixth book in the series, is currently in production.

When Lois was searching for a narrator, she wanted to find someone with the voice she heard in her head—my voice. We both wanted Tina Fey because…well, she’s Tina Fey, and if Lois ever options the TV or movie rights to the series, we both think Tina Fey should play me. (It’s one of the few things Lois and I agree on.)

 

However, since Tina Fey wasn’t an option, Alex came the closest to the voice in Lois’s head, and as it turns out, Alex loves me and agreed to voice the entire series. Lois and I were both thrilled. Alex is a great narrator and wonderful to work with.

 

And if your answer to the question I asked at the beginning of this piece was yes, you’re in luck. Lois has a limited number of US and UK promo codes for free downloads of the audiobook of A Stitch to Die For. Post a comment to the blog for a chance to receive one.

 

A Stitch to Die For

An Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery, Book 5

 

Ever since her husband died and left her in debt equal to the gross national product of Uzbekistan, magazine crafts editor and reluctant amateur sleuth Anastasia Pollack has stumbled across one dead body after another—but always in work-related settings. When a killer targets the elderly nasty neighbor who lives across the street from her, murder strikes too close to home. Couple that with a series of unsettling events days before Halloween, and Anastasia begins to wonder if someone is sending her a deadly message.

AND THEN THERE WERE 3…ANASTASIA POLLACK CRAFTING MYSTERY AUDIOBOOKS!

As I mentioned in a post the beginning of January, my author Lois Winston has teamed up with narrator/producer Alex Bitton-Bailey to produce audiobooks of the Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mysteries, those books where Lois is always forcing me to confront dead bodies and figure out whodunit before the killer strikes again.

The third audiobook, Revenge of the Crafty Corpse, is now available through Audible, iTunes, and Amazon. Better yet, Lois has a select number of both US and UK promo codes for free downloads from Audible. If you prefer to listen to your mysteries rather than read them, post a comment to the blog for a chance to win one of the promo codes. All Lois, Alex, and I ask in return is that when you’re finished listening, you post a review on Audible and wherever else you review. Happy listening!

 

Revenge of the Crafty Corpse

An Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery, Book 3

 

Anastasia Pollack’s dead louse of a spouse has left her with more bills than you can shake a crochet hook at. Teaching craft classes at her mother-in-law’s assisted living center seems like an easy way to supplement her meager income. But when Lyndella Wegner—a 98-year-old know-it-all with a penchant for ruffles and lace—turns up dead, Anastasia’s cantankerous mother-in-law becomes the prime suspect in her murder. Upon discovering that Lyndella’s scandalous craft projects—and her scandalous behavior—made her plenty of enemies, Anastasia sets out to find the real killer before her mother-in-law ends up behind bars.
