Meeting Sang: Audiobooks + Academy Translations + More

Hello everywhere!

I want to thank everyone for the kind words and questions about what’s been happening the last year or so. As mentioned in the last newsletter, there’s quite a bit going on, and this last month, my mother passed away. It’s been a very stressful time and I appreciate everyone’s patience with me.

So I’ve stepped back a bit from writing on the books for the last couple of months. (I didn’t want my grief coloring how I finished up and revised the books I’m working on.) I AM going to finish the books. I know it’s been a while. I don’t want anyone worrying that I wouldn’t. I’m just sorry it’s taking so long with family stuff taking a priority at this time. It’s been a rocky two years for the family, but things are finally starting to settle down.

To keep myself busy while traveling and managing life things, I’ve been doing a lot of projects I’ve put on the sidelines and meant to do. There are new audiobooks coming out, translations, and I’ve got the Etsy shop reopening soon.

Thanks for hanging in there with me. It’s all things I found solace in trying to complete while in the midst of family things going.

Always,
C. L. Stone

Meeting Sang: The Audiobook Series

Meeting Sang Audiobooks

Audiobooks are now available for the Meeting Sang series. There’s now a couple of options:

Eleven Reader

The Meeting Sang Series (Plus more coming soon!)

The entire series is available now in Eleven Reader (I’ve loaded them in, but a few might still be caught up in approval process.) Eleven Reader allows you to change the narrator to whatever you would like.

You can get two hours free a month to listen. (Essentially Kota + Victor’s books you should be able to listen to for free.) These ‘minutes’ reset every month, so you can get the whole series for free in this way.

If you want more minutes per month, there’s a monthly fee, but you get access to ALL the content available on Eleven Reader, not just mine.

What I like about Eleven Reader (which I use all the time!), is that I can change the voices to whatever I like. Want to hear North talking in a cowboy accent? Want to hear Mr. Blackbourne talk in an Australian accent? You likely can find a voice you love that fits.

While it is AI voices, Eleven Reader operates with paid voice actors, so it’s consented use and the voice actors are paid upon their agreed terms. I’ve a particular love for Mathias and Archer if you want a starting point voice, but you can listen to their available options before you apply it to your book.

And if you’re wondering why the covers look different for this, it’s because Eleven Reader rejected the similar covers from the original series. So I had to make new ones kind of quickly. (And I might have gotten a little crazy trying to match the styles to their personalities, like Silas’s Greek statue and North’s stained glass window (you know because he sees her in the light of the window all angel like). ;)) Let me know if you like these?

WHAT ELSE?

In addition, the books will soon be available on YouTube/Spotify and elsewhere as audiobooks. I had redo Kota with a new voice actor as the old voice I believe had canceled their licensing, so sorry about that, and I did the recordings incorrectly anyway so I had to start over. The others are going to be released once I get the hang of releasing audiobooks in so many different locations. (I’m learning! :)) Obviously, these versions will be free, and I’ll have a chosen voice for them. Eleven Reader just lets you have a choice for which voice.

I hope to continue this trend with audio versions of some of the other side projects that aren’t the main series (Melody, Girl in the Bearskin and others). So if you had been hoping for audiobooks for these books, it’s planned and going to be systematically uploaded.

So look for a newsletter coming soon with updates of these audiobooks.

Translations: Spanish Edition of The Academy

Introductions (Spanish Edition) is out now. First Days and Friends vs. Family will be out the next couple of months but are available on pre-order now. They will all be available on Kindle Unlimited soon.

If you have friends who prefer to read in Spanish or just wanted to practice reading in a different language, do check it out. At current, I have them only available on Kindle Unlimited, primarily as a just in case they need further edits and to gently check for any issues before releasing wider. If you loved the series, maybe go show some love in the reviews and if you have Kindle Unlimited, check out the book.

I plan to offer a free copy to download soon, (as you know, Kindle Unlimited has five days every 90 days that I can deliver you the books for free). So if you don’t have Kindle Unlimited but wanted to check it out, just wait a moment. I just want to wait until it is loaded everywhere and I’ll send a ‘set your calendars to be able to snag a copy’ follow up newsletter so you can get it if you just wanted to have it. So just wait a second and I’ll make sure to coordinate and you all can get a copy if you wanted to just have one. I’ll do it for five days for each book that comes out in this way if you want the collection. :)

Once Spanish is finished, I’ve plans for French and German as well, but if you have a language you’d prefer to translate to, let me know.
