I think The Rose Thief is full of little humorous snippets that just have you quietly sniggering now and then as you read/listen. It was never meant to be fully laugh-out-loud, more of a indulgent grin throughout vibe.

The Rose Thief has a prologue of sorts - it's not long and it's not a round up of historical events - I tried to entice you to come on in and listen to my story...

What do you think makes a great audiobook narrator?

When do you listen to audiobooks the most - commute, gym, bedtime?

For me, it's mostly when doing chores 🎧📖

Editing editing editing editing. That final polish takes almost as long as writing the damn thing! Coffee needed.
