Everything happens for a reason, right?

Do you happen to remember that time I brought a band home with me? I do! When I told my principal about it, she was like, "Hannah, I'm not sure how I feel about that. You should be more careful about taking strange men home with you."

As it turns out, that decision was one of my better ones! Let me tell you why:

When Like A Flip Turn was released as an audiobook, I sent the clip to my friend Chris who used to be a member of Bella's Bartok (the band I brought home with me). He listened to the sample right away and wrote back to say that he thought it sounded great and would definitely listen.

I responded to this by saying something like, "Chris. You have a great voice, you love to read, and you know everything there is to know about recording. Have you ever thought about narrating an audiobook?"

To which Chris responded, "I mean, that was my first thought, but I didn't want to make this a me thing."

From there, things moved quickly. Within four days, Chris had created a profile on the site I used to produce Like A Flip Turn, we negotiated a fee, and then signed a contract. The Way Back should be available for listening at some point this fall and I am very excited about it! (You should be too because Chris's voice is perfection -- you're going to love it!)
