As of today, Comings and Goings – The Art of Being Seen is officially in the final stretch.
I’ve just approved the completed audiobook, and it’s now in ACX’s quality assurance queue. Barring any hiccups, it should be live on Amazon, Audible, and iTunes within the next 10 business days. It’s a quiet milestone, but one that carries significant emotional weight.
In this excerpt from Comings and Goings – The Art of Being Seen, Bryan Haddock brings quiet clarity to a moment of emotional shift. Jim’s patience wears thin at a party that’s too loud, too raw, too haunted by memory—until a song, a glance, and a shared breath of air with Kelly offer something gentler. This is where music meets memory, and where leaving becomes its own kind of intimacy.
Bryan Haddock’s narration is honest and unpretentious—much like the text he’s reading. He gives Jim a voice remarkably close to the one I hear in my head when I write for him: steady, emotionally present, and quietly observant. He also gives Kelly a distinctive voice without trying too hard to “sound like a girl,” honoring her agency and emotional fluency without slipping into caricature. It’s a generous, emotionally literate performance, and I’m deeply grateful for it.
This audiobook took some time to produce. Between emotional stewardship and the collaborative care it took to get here, I’m proud of what we’ve built. Comings and Goings was always meant to be heard as much as read. Its emotional cadence—those pauses, glances, and unspoken gestures—find new life in Bryan’s voice.
I’ve included a sample track from the audiobook here, so I hope you stay tuned for the complete Audible release. In the meantime, thank you for walking with me. Your kindness, feedback, and presence have shaped this work in ways I’ll never forget.
The story finds its voice soon.
