Like A Flipping BOSS!

My novel Like A Flip Turn is currently being turned into an audiobook and I'm super excited about it because the reader, Cassandra Alling, is AMAZING! Legitimately. January Lavoy and Julia Whelan have always been my audio go-to girls, but Cassandra has quickly jumped into first place. Last night, I listened to a 15-minute sample she sent and fell in love with the story! (It wasn't hard to do, seeing as I wrote it, but it sounds so much better when being read by Cassandra!)

Today I played the 15-minute sample for some students and HaHa, who's read Like A Flip Turn, turned to me when the clip ended and said, "That was so good." She agreed that the voices of the characters were pretty much perfect.

At lunch, I played the clip for Mary and Annie too. The first part is a conversation between Ruby Gallagher and Petey Goode, and as she listened to it, Annie said, "Wow. She does a really good job with male voices."

The next section of the 15 minutes involves Lydia Franklin, who's just a kid, and her therapist Ria. At that point, Mary looked up and asked quite seriously, "Is this the same reader?"

Annie immediately added, "She sounds so young!"

Guys... Cassandra makes her voice do crazy-awesome things. I am so very impressed and cannot believe that she's reading MY book! I mean, what are the odds that she'd want to? She's gonna be a star -- just wait. D'you hear me, January and Julia? Cassandra's one to be on the lookout for!
