What makes a great story even better?

In my last blog post I introduced you to my latest book Dragonae, written as J.L. Crandall. 

It's a story about a man who has become an almost invincible warrior, someone who would have been just as happy to follow in his grandfather's footsteps and become a blacksmith.  Despite selling his skills and strengths to reasonable leaders, neither he nor their armies could stop the southern legions of from overtaking their lands.  He turns his back on war for a time and instead finds himself on another quest: to find the Lady of the Axe.

We shared an audio clip of the first few pages to give you a sampling of the story.  Shortly thereafter, my publisher got an audition tape from someone wanting to narrate the story for Audible. 

You just have to love serendipity. I'm happy to report that he and my publisher came to an agreement and Dragonae will be coming out as an audio book very soon.  ​The narrator's name is Jeffrey Persson and I think you will agree that his performance adds a new dimension to the story.

Here's a link to a fifteen minute sample.
