This week I had someone ask me if I have any of my stories in audiobooks or podcasts. Some readers really prefer listening. Others like a mix of both. If you’re like me, listening gives you extra time to read because you can do it while you drive, fold laundry, walk, etc.
It’s long overdue that I gather up my audio stories in one easy-to-find-and-click place. To help you browse more easily, I’ve put these in order of increasing length. Turns out that between these 8 stories I have 3 hours’ worth of listening available! You could take a nice day trip to see fall foliage with all these bookmarked. 👀 So, this autumn as you sit by the fire, rake leaves, bake treats, carve pumpkins, or go on long walks through the woods, here are the stories of mine you can put right in your ear holes.
