SHOCK: Audio Books Are In Demand!

The world’s first audio-only novel will be launched this week in a sign that the surge in demand for downloadable books is set to provide a new medium for budding authors and performers.

Sex on Legs, a 75,000 word novel written and read by Brian Luff, will be available for download on audible.co.uk despite Mr Luff, a London-based comedian, having no contract with a traditional book publisher. Audible, the US company that dominates the audiobook market, is the company behind the popular Ricky Gervais podcasts.

WOW … paid-for audio … what a concept … :)

I mean … we’ve only been doing this kind of thing for the last 5 years in the Internet Marketing niche … c’mon Publishing World … CATCH UP!

Give it another 5 years and you’ll be hearing about the power of MySpace, etc. for new authors to sell their wares … sheesh :rolls eyes:

A big hello to all the new subscribers and who’ve joined since I was last in touch …

I hope you and your family are all healthy and well …

It’s been “all go” here and so I thought I’d better give you an update with what’s been going on, since I’ve been quiet for a while … which is unheard of for me, at least that’s what my wife says! ;)
