Cool stuff from a fire-breathing dragon!
Oasis Audio will
create audiobooks for my Dragons in our Midst and Oracles
of Fire series!
They will be
unabridged with multiple actors doing the voices, and they will come out in MP3
format, perfect for your iPods and up-to-date CD
players.
The audio version of Raising Dragons will release in July, then the rest of the books will come out every two months thereafter
until they catch up with what I've written.
I'm really pumped
about this. I hear from kids who aren't allowed to read my books until their
parents read them, but their parents don't have time. They said they would read
them if they could get them on audio, so now there’s no excuse. J
I also know kids who
are visually impaired, and this is a great way for them to enjoy my books.

Enoch’s Ghost:
The second book in
the Oracles of Fire series is
finished, edited, and typeset. One early reviewer wrote the following:
This is Christian youth fantasy at its best—excellent writing, high craftsmanship, astonishing places and events, cataclysmic stakes, and a beautiful Christian theme thrumming throughout. A spectacular fantasy novel.
-- Jeff Gerke, Founder, WhereTheMapEnds.com

From a reader in
I also
need to thank you for saving my life. When I read those books, I was not a
Christian, but the power I saw in these books made me want that close
relationship with God that Bonnie and Sapphira had. I am happy to write that I
am now a Christian, and my faith is stronger than ever. Someday, I hope to be
as great a writer as you are and do the same for somebody else.
From a reader in
I have admired your books since the day I started with Raising Dragons all the way to Eye of the Oracle. They made me think about what really is going on out there is the world and that people can be chased forever. I've finished them all since I've gotten them for Christmas and I totally loved them!
The characters in your books are amazing, and they have a heart for God that will never stop them! They could go on in these journeys forever, and I would still read them! Bonnie and Billy are amazing characters and so are Walter, Ashley, and Karen. I love how Bonnie and Billy would have never have met if it weren't for Sapphira Adi and Gabriel. These books kept my heart going and I always couldn't wait to get home and continue the adventures in my books!
Your books have inspired me to do
things I never would have done without them. I am going to
May God be praised for how He is using these books!
