S02.41: Audiobooks with Voice Actor Justine Eyre

This one’s for you, audio readers! We’re thrilled to have a freewheeling episode this week featuring the fantastically talented Justine Eyre, who has narrated Sarah’s last seven books! Sarah & Justine had never talked until this conversation, when we were able to ask all the questions we’ve always had about how audiobooks work, and what makes them so great. And stay tuned until the end of the episode, when you can hear the first two chapters of the audiobook of Daring & the Duke, available wherever audiobooks are sold, June 30th!

We might not be doing read alongs until August, but that doesn’t mean your TBR won’t still be groaning under the weight of our recommendations — we’ve got a bunch of rec episodes lined up for summer…

Oh, and did you know Sarah has a book out in two weeks? Order Daring & the Duke from Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Books-a-Million or from your local indie, or order it signed from her local indie, WORD Bookstore, and get a special edition Fated Mates sticker with your purchase!

As summer approaches, if you are up for leaving a rating or review for the podcast on your podcasting app, we would be very grateful!

Show Notes

Welcome Justine Eyre! Justine has narrated all of Sarah's books since Never Judge a Lady by Her Cover.

Join Sarah's Old School Romance Book Club (OSRBC) on Facebook.

Is Jane Eyre really "our favorite Jane"? Jane Austen would like a word.

Justine talked a lot about how audiobooks are made, but here's another great explainer about the role of narrators and audiobook production.

We recorded this before J. K. Rowling's latest terrible TERF rant, so take Jen's praise of Jim Dale's narrationwith a grain of salt.

Justine mentioned Scott Brick as a mentor, and his site has a guide for those interested in becoming narrators.
