We are talking with Relentless Aaron and Heather Covington in the African American Pavilion at Book Expo yesterday. About to head over to see our audio publisher Brilliance Audio and then of course on to the Simon & Schuster booth.

Can You Hear Us Now?

For those of you who like to listen--we have a few selections for you. We recently did two Blogtalk Radio shows--one with bestselling author and friend Donna Hill and the other with Tracey Ricks Foster. On both we talk about our process, our friendship, life and of course What Doesn't Kill You. And if you're of the audiobook persuasion, there is an excerpt of WDKY available as well! The listening links are below.

We recorded this book at the Brilliance Audio studios in Grand Haven, MI back in October. We alternate chapters, and this bit is Donna reading!

LOOK & LISTEN

OK we went to a big fancy publishing industry cocktail party (hosted by Bertelsman--Literary Guild, Black Expressions, Book of the Month, Doubleday, etc.) in New York last night, then out to dinner with an old friend. We didn’t get in until the wee hours—on a WEDNESDAY night no less!! We acted like we were still young enough to stay out until 2 o’clock in the morning and be functional the next day. On top of that, Donna, who has been walking around (and partying) with a fishbone (from salmon steak on Tuesday) caught in her throat, needed a bit of emergency medical assistance this morning (the fishbone was successfully removed—think I’ll be eating soup for a little while). Needless to say, we’re a bit off schedule today and were scrambling to come up with a blog when our “inbox” brought great news we can share with you. A few weeks ago we blogged about our experience in the sound booth at Brilliance Audio in Michigan, recording the audio version of Gotta Keep on Tryin’. Well, they also did an interview which you can now listen to on their website: http://www.brillianceaudio.com/podcasts/ So today we have an audio blog---take a listen—let us know what you think!
