Sounds great!

What a joyful surprise to find my very first audiobook in the mail box down the road today.

Because the old ute only has a tape deck and I still had nappies and groceries to get, I couldn’t listen to the CD’s until I got home.

When I did I was pleasantly surprised and I did a very rare thing for Rachael Treasure… I lay on the couch… captivated!

Bolinda have done a fantastic job of producing The Rouseabout audio book and Miranda Nation is a perfect narrator for Kate’s story.

She’s got such a gorgeous, youthful Aussie voice. It was such a spin-out to listen to words that I had written being read out by Miranda.

Now that I’m four chapters into writing my new novel, it was intriguing to listen to The Rouseabout as if it were someone else’s work.

I’m still going to be a book-aholic, but now with my very own iPod I can see that audiobooks will certainly have their place in our lives in the future.

I can visualise myself in the future listening to the latest Mark Haddon book whilst out in the paddocks helping John and dad fix a fence!
