In which I have book news!

Lots of you out there prefer audiobooks to the paper variety, and I've heard from many of you how much you enjoyed the narrator for the audio version of Silent in the Grave. Unfortunately, many of you were less than impressed with the narrators of the subsequent version, and as a result, Audible is pulling the audiobooks of Silent in the Sanctuary and Silent on the Moor to have them re-recorded by the fabulous Ellen Archer! They should be ready to go some time in May, and they also tell me that they will make sure she narrates the rest of the series. YAY! (Now, what I've just told you is ALL that I know. For specifics of release dates, etc. you will need to contact Audible.com because they are completely in the know about this project. I got the happy news after all was arranged between the lovely digital team at my publisher and the wonderful peeps at Audible, and I have shared all that I'm able.)

For those of you who like to collect a single format for a series, I am SO HAPPY to tell you that Silent in the Grave will be released for the first time in trade format in January 2010! It has a brand new cover to fit with the rest of the repackaging, and I am VERY pleased with it. (Eagle-eyed readers will have already realized that the new covers are designed to depict a single, specific moment in each book rather than to convey a general mood. The moment they chose for SITG is one of my favorites!)
