Listen Lucky Truckies!

Good news came through that Bolinda Audio Books want to record all of my novels. My friend Heidi who had a stint over in WA with her hubby on the mines said there were lots of truckies who enjoyed The Rouseabout while they drove this wide brown land.

Now Jillaroo, The Stockmen and The Cattleman’s Daughter will be released by Bolinda in audio form.

Today I hope to hear from actress Miranda Nation who voiced The Rouseabout so beautifully.

She has a few pronunciation questions and I have to teach her how to sing Sunny Cowgirls’ classic song, Naked. Now that will be something to listen to!

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!
