Change of Plan for White House Men Audiobooks

December 14, 2020 by Nora 6 Comments

Sometimes, things don’t work out the way you had planned or envisioned. I had contracted a narrator for the White House Men series and he had finished the first two books. Unfortunately, they weren’t as I had these characters imagined. I’m not sure if I didn’t communicate my vision clearly enough or didn’t give enough instructions and explanations, but the end result just wasn’t what I had hoped.

It led me to the difficult decision to start over and not use these two books he narrated (yes, of course I fully paid him…he did the work, after all). I have asked Audible to give me the contracts back so I can offer them to a new narrator. And luckily, I’ve already found the perfect man for the job.

If you’ve listened to the first Irresistible Omegas books he’s done, you’ll know that John Solo did an amazing job with those. Since the White House Men series is very similar in terms of style and the number of characters, plus the suspense scenes, I figured it would make him perfect to do the White House Men series as well. I’m happy to report John was immediately on board. Since his schedule for the next few weeks was already booked, it’ll be February at the earliest that he’ll start on this. But once he does, he’ll turn them out fast and catch up in no time.

I’m bummed about the delay, but I’m feeling good about this decision. At the end of the day, I don’t want to release a product I don’t fully believe in. So, you’ll have to be patient a little while longer, but then you’ll have an amazing narrator who will do justice to this series!

    As long as I know they are coming I’ll wait however long it takes. I don’t even start a series until it’s complete on audio because I enjoy it so much more when I get to follow along with narration. Thank you so much for asking care of your audiobook fans! 😊

    I am glad you took this decision. A narrator is so important to do a story justice. I cannot listen to a good book if I don’t like the way it’s narrated. Some voices just grate my nerves. And a narration wil be there for years and years to come. And of course it hurts a lot financially, but I am glad you have the option to do this anyway. You write such wonderful stories and they deserve, they NEED the right narrator.
    It enhances the enjoyment of the story.
    Big hug for you to have taken this decision. In the end I think I will read this series too even though I do the storyis very heftig for me at times. I am just so curious, I love your characters and their love stories. I’ll just wait till when I feel I’m ready.

    I’m sorry you had the difficulties with the audiobooks, especially on top of the latest Audible return issues, but I am overjoyed to hear that John Solo will be doing them. I love his work!
