On Audio Books
If you listen to my books on audio, you might have noticed that
Victor Slezak is a repeat reader.
When he read HELLO,DARKNESS in 2003, I was blown away. I got a similar response from fans who wrote me in praise of Mr. Slezak’s performance. I thought he should be made aware of these newly cultivated fans. Through Simon & Schuster Audio, I sent him copies of these glowing reviews.
Being no dummy, I’ve requested Mr. Slezak as the reader for each book since.
He graciously replied to my shy email, and over the years, we’ve become email pen pals. We haven’t had the good fortune to meet, despite our trying several times to reconcile schedules. We’re still trying!
Most recently he read SMASH CUT, and he’s slated to record RAINWATER as soon as his schedule permits. He keeps busy as a stage, television and film actor. Recently he received love letter-type reviews for his performance in Eugene O’Neill’s “A Moon for the Misbegotten.” I’m very honored to have him reading my work. He brings to life each of the characters with his voice, and he’s one of few actors who can do a Southern accent without making it sound totally ignorant. Take it from one who speaks with the real deal, that’s not easy!
We’re currently in the process of adding some audio excerpts to the website–many of which feature Victor!

I love listening to your audiobooks and have always thought Mr. Slezak does a wonderful job. I’m so glad your books are available to listen to. I listen to audio on my commute every day and yours are my very favorite! I can’t wait to hear rainwater!
