Hard to believe it’s been almost ten days since I last posted an entry here. (Bad blogger, no donut!) Much going on behind the scenes . . . but alas, not in a form I can report on just yet. New and major media projects by Cameron, new books by me, a new web site feature–all coming soon, promise.

Meanwhile, I’ve been listening in idle moments to William Dufris’s reading in the You Call the Shots audiobook. At first, it was a strange experience to hear these words that I’d written and Cameron had lived, and have the voice be neither mine nor Cameron’s. But once I got past that, I discovered to my delight that Dufris does a superb job.

I’ve always had a special affinity for Maine-born raconteurs; in part that’s because I love hearing sermons by my Maine friend, Episcopal minister John Ineson, and in part because I love hearing Stephen King and John Irving both read their own stuff. But mostly I just love that delicious, down-to-earth semi-nasal Maine twang. And all the years of London training have not sandpapered the Maine out of Dufris’ delivery–thank heavens!

I’m listening to mine on my iPod in its MP3 version, available through iTunes for $15.95. If you’re the listen-in-the-car type, you’ll find the exact same reading on CD; the 7-CD set lists for $34.99 but can be had at Amazon for about $23.
