Thanks to Andi, Red Rain now has a review on Squeaky Clean Reviews! If you wanted to read a summary of the book's content (or lack thereof), this'll do ya. http://www.squeakycleanreviews.com/revi ... ew_id=2199 Thank you so much, Andi!

And chapter 5 of the audiobook is up! Grace reads with a lot of particularly awesome expression in these next few chapters.

Also, the box of books for signed copies shipped this week. As soon as those arrive I will be able to ship signed copies!

God is good!

Ooh! Well done, Philli! *Question is* When the time comes, should one purchase the Paperback from Amazon, or the kindle version. Hmmm. There's nothing quite like actually holding the book in your hands.

Thank you, Elanor.

*giggles* That is a question I cannot answer for you.

*Chuckles*

I finally decided to actually click the link in the signature(after ages of going 'as soon as I have time for a new book to read'). Listened to part of the first chapter of the audiobook, and downloaded it on my Kindle. This was last night. I'm done now. It was amazing. I loved it. Congratulations.

*huge grin* Thank you so much, Aldara. I love hearing feedback from readers, and that means the world to me. So glad you enjoyed it!

Chapter 7 of the audiobook went up yesterday! Chapter 8 will go up tomorrow, though I'm strongly tempted to put it up today. Grace did an absolutely amazing job narrating, and then she tossed in a surprise in the editing... I'm totally geeking out.

But, in other news, the box of books came today! So many pretty copies... I'm signing and packing preorders right now.

*has received her copy of book*

*loves her copy of book*

*has read book again*

*has shared book with her brother*

*brother has read book*

*brother liked book*

*is happy*

By the way, Chapters 1-15 of the free audiobook are up! The remaining chapters will be posted next week, and then the entire book will be available on the site until Oct. 31st. If you haven't started listening yet, you've got two weeks to jump on the bandwagon!

I just wanted to let y'all know that all of the audiobook chapters are now available! You can listen to the entire book for free, narrated by Grace Pennington (Aniese), until Oct 31st. (At which point the free version will be taken down and remastered for sale.)

As a heads up... I'm having an interview for the Holy Worlds podcast today, and our primary topic of discussion is Red Rain. Soon you'll be able to listen to me ramble idiotically about my book in my own voice!

*rolls eyes * There will be nothing idiotic about it, Danko.

And exactly who is doing the rambling in this instance? You or me?

*laughs * Let's just say neither of us will sound like idiotic ramblers, I am confident. Ramblers maybe... probably, but not idiotic.

Oooh! *Hasn't kept up with the podcasts, but will be sure to listen to this one*

The recording's done! There's plenty of rambling, so it should be fun.

*laughs * It was well structured rambling!

Yes, yes, of course. The whole thing was basically like a long list of prompts to get me to ramble, with some side rambles from you and Jay.

*laughs * Especially on mine and Jay's take of the new changes in the publishing industry.

Yes, that was unexpected. But good!

I'm confident too.

*laughs * Well, I knew Jay and my views on the subject were a little different, I just didn't expect us to talk about it in the interview.

But we stayed on topic, so no harm done.

I just finished the book and I have to say, it was amazing!!! I haven't read a book that good, since LOTR I read those three years ago.
One question? Are you writing another book?

Blessings: Danko

That is high praise. Thank you so much. I am very, very glad to hear that you liked it!

I am planning a sequel to Red Rain, yes. I can't promise that I will go through with it, but right now it's very likely. I have a good outline that I think I will end up pursuing. If I do write a sequel I'd love to have it out in September, a year after the original... But we'll see where God leads.

Thanks so much!

Fortunately she is writing several other books.

Well, there is that, but I didn't want to be cheeky, since I figured he was talking about a sequel to Red Rain.

Now that "Published Works" has been moved to a more appropriate location under the Watchtower, I'm going to try and keep this thread better updated for y'all with new tidbits. A couple of things that might intrigue you...

I let them talk me into a podcast interview! One of the primary subjects was "Red Rain," and I discussed a lot of background information I haven't revealed anywhere else. If you want to know a lot about the development of Red Rain, you'll enjoy this. (Plus I talk about other writing topics and just generally be, you know, me.) http://holyworlds.posterous.com/holy-wo ... rey-hansen

Also, I was nominated for an up-and-coming literary award! If you've read my book and have time to leave a comment and support my nomination, I'd be grateful. http://vervelitawards.wordpress.com/201 ... omination/

Lastly but not leastly, I've decided to leave the entire audiobook up for free indefinitely. If you want to try my writing or share it with your friends - for free - you can find the audiobook here: http://www.aubreyhansen.com/p/audiobooks.html

Lots of interesting developments.

Yes, indeed. It's been quite the week already.

I've started it.

I'd love to know what you think of it when you're done, Varon.

Okay.

The Verve Literary Awards has moved to a new (permanent) site, so all previous comments on the nomination were lost. If you're willing to repost your comment on my nomination, I'd be grateful! http://www.vervelitawards.com/2012/01/r ... ation.html

(And you might want to check out the site anyway. It looks awesome!)

Very cool. I've never heard of the award before, but it is still very flattering.

Yes! And it is good promotion.
