I’ve been wanting to make an audiobook of Rare Steak, Red Wine, Hot Tango for a while. It’s apparently the fastest growing segment of the book market, and soon it will be expected that most books have audio versions.

A couple of days ago, I listened to a webinar where the guest was someone who specializes in teaching authors to record their own audiobooks, and it was very good. I decided I’d buy his program if it wasn’t too expensive. But when he got to the part where he was pitching the program, it looked familiar. Yep, you guessed it — I already had it! A year ago I heard the same guy do someone else’s webinar and I bought the program then. I knew I wasn’t ready at that time, but would be at some point. Then I promptly forgot all about it.

Anyway, I’ve now started watching it. I have pretty much all the equipment I need to do the recording, and I expect to start it in the next few days. Stay tuned.

I also want to let you know that I am about to release a second edition of the book, because it’s been a couple of years since it came out and I’d like to give it a boost in sales. Amazon’s rules say you have to make substantial changes to justify a new edition, so I first updated the information to reflect the fact that I now live here. Then I added two new chapters: one about my stay in hospital last year, and another tango one, this time about the clothes — with photos!

I’ll be publishing the new edition this week, so if you haven’t read it yet, this might be a good time to order. I’ll let you know when it’s done, and also when the audiobook is available.
