AHHH! OMG I've been working on this project for YEARS.YEARSSSS!
As you know (or maybe you don't :-) ), I haven't released an audiobook since 2021. I'll do a future blog post giving you more details about why that is, but the gist is, as an indie, I believe in ownership (or doing things myself) and being able to give a unique and special experience when I put my work out into the world. Doing traditional audiobooks requires a huge investment upfront, but no control over the terms or the price. **sad face**
That's what gave me the idea of Whimstery...
Through Whimstery, I'll be able to bring you audiobooks for the price of a cup of coffee and share another love of mine: podcasts.
As a lover of serials & full-cast audio productions, some of my BRAND-NEW stories totally fit this format better, and I can't wait to share them with you through a variety of shows.
So, while the upcoming audiobooks are well, audio versions of my backlist books + upcoming new releases, the narrative, full-production podcasts are completely separate from my books & are all new, crazy, and OMG-worthy stories. (So, I've heard thus far. :-) )
Since Whimstery is 100% self-funded, I don't have a studio, publisher, or rich relative backing me. (I wish!) I'll rely on sticker and merch to help support this crazy, reckless dream of mine, and I'll have plenty to share with you with the launch of the first show, which is titledâŚ
Sincerely (Or, So I Thought) Yours
Without saying too much just yet, this first show is a twist-and-turn-filled romance full of FEELS. It's also SO MUCH FUN, and the uniqueness of the story will definitely keep you guessing until you reach the crazy âhappily every after.â
Team Qamber is currently making a few tweaks to the official podcast cover + I'll be scheduling the audio release soon (no, I'm not a narrator, don't worry :-) ) and I'll share the date(s) you can tune in!
This is a full cast production with multiple narrators and sound effects.
You can also read along to the script version versus the book's edition. (I think I did a good job translating it there. :-) )
*By the way, YES! This series will be completed. I won't say anything else besides that, but thank you for loving Autumn & Ryder and being patient with me & my dream. I tried to go back and make this a typical book release, but if you followed along from the beginning (starting with the Mister R. stickers), please know âWhimsteryâ was always my main goal + a part of my big dream for this one. (Yes, it will still release in book format as well)
