The Audiobook Question: Why Reunion: Coda Isn’t on Audible (Yet)

One of the most frequent questions I get from readers is: Will there be an audiobook edition of Reunion: Coda?

The short answer? Not yet. And here’s why.

I absolutely understand the importance of audiobooks. Some readers rely on them out of necessity—whether due to visual impairments or other disabilities that make traditional reading difficult. Others simply prefer to listen to books while commuting, exercising, or unwinding. Audiobooks create accessibility and convenience, and I wholeheartedly support them.

So why doesn’t Reunion: Coda have one?

The Reality of Audiobook Production

The truth is, recording an audiobook is not as simple as sitting down with a microphone and reading aloud. A professional audiobook requires the right equipment, a soundproof environment, and—most importantly—a skilled narrator who can bring the story to life.

And while I love writing, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the best narrator. My strengths lie in crafting characters and weaving emotion through words, not in performing them out loud. I don’t have the tools, the space, or the voice to do Reunion: Coda justice in an audio format.

That said, I have discussed the possibility with an actor friend in New York City. He’s interested in narrating it someday, but like me, he needs the right setup—and he also has his own career commitments. So for now, an audiobook remains in the “maybe someday” category rather than an immediate project.

A Workaround: Kindle’s Assisted Reader

If you’re someone who prefers—or needs—an audiobook experience, there is an alternative!

Amazon’s Kindle platform offers an accessibility feature that allows ebooks to be read aloud. If you have a Kindle or Fire tablet, or if you download the free Kindle app on your phone or computer, you can activate the assisted reader tool to listen to Reunion: Coda. While it’s not the same as a professionally narrated edition, it’s a viable option in the meantime.

Thank You for Your Support

I truly appreciate everyone who has reached out about this. It’s wonderful to see such enthusiasm for my work, and I wish I could snap my fingers and make an audiobook edition happen. While I don’t have a timeline for one, know that it’s on my radar.

Until then, Reunion: Coda is available in ebook and print formats, and the Kindle-assisted reader feature is a helpful workaround. Thank you for reading, listening, and sharing your love for these stories—I’m deeply grateful for your support.
