Gryphon Audiobook Update!

1/4/2021

For those who have been following The Gryphon Chronicles in audiobook format, we want to update you on where things stand with THE BLACK FORTRESS audiobook (and now THE DRAGON LORD audiobook, as well).

To make a long story short, over the past 15 months, we’ve had several conversations with narrator Jamie about all of the production delays, and, unfortunately, he will not be continuing with the series. We’re sorry, we know how much you love his narration, but at this point, it is completely unavoidable.

So, on our end, we have begun the search for a new narrator (again male, British) and are super excited about some of the amazingly talented people we’ve come across. Our plan is to have our new guy do 3 books in a row for us, books 6, 7, & 8, one right after the other, in a timely fashion. These three books should add up to around 50 hours of listening. Again, we apologize for the long wait you’ve had, and can totally understand why you’re annoyed. Thank you for your patience. More to come...

I bought and listened to all the audiobooks in 2020 after discovering them when Audible made The Lost Heir available for streaming for free. (Did you know The Lost Heir is no longer available on Audible?) I am considering letting my Audible subscription lapse, but I want all the rest of the Gryphon Chronicles! Do you think the new audiobooks will be available within the next year? If so, I will renew my Audible subscription. Thanks for the great stories!

Thanks for being such a devoted listener! Yes, Book 1 is no longer for sale on Audible. The rest of the books will be moved from that platform after a while. It's a licensing issue. The next 3 audiobooks (Books 6, 7, & 8) are our main focus for 2021. However, I'm not sure we'll be selling them on Audible. We'll let everyone know as soon as we figure it out. Thanks again!!!

Have you found a narrator yet, and what is the estimated release date for the Black Fortress audiobook?

Hi Brent, THE BLACK FORTRESS audiobook is almost done. Our new narrator should be finished recording in about 2 weeks. Then there are some quality checks that take a month or so. So, best guess, the audiobook will be available on Audible in August. We plan on forging on with THE DRAGON LORD audiobook next and expect that one to be released in September or October. The 2 audiobooks combined will be around 40 hours. :) Thanks!

This is great news! My son has severe dyslexia so he reads with his “ears”. Your Gryphon Chronicles were a delightful addition to his list of favorites. Thank you for sharing your talent with our family.
