When the full, Harry Potter audio set came out, I knew I would score some serious husband points by surprising my wife with it at Christmas. The look on her face when she unwrapped it was… deflated. I asked her if I had done something wrong. She said, “Oh no, no, it’s lovely. So lovely for you to think of it. But…”
“But?”
“ I really wanted the Stephen Fry version.”
As luck would have it, I was headed to London two weeks later for a conference, and was able to bring home a set of the Stephen Fry, Harry Potter, audiobooks.
Having now heard you read your own fiction, Brad, I couldn’t bear to hear anybody else read it aloud
That's a great story, Jim! Thanks for listening. I'm going to try to do audio editions more... it's just finding a) the time at all, and b) the time when the house is quiet enough to record...
Great to hear your voice 😀
Thanks, Bob!

I like when you read it.
Thanks, Tom!
