Adventures in Audiobook Production: ‘Reunion: Coda’ – A Mid-November Audiobook Update

Tuesday, November 11, 2025, Orlando, Florida

While I wait for final approval from ACX on Reunion: A Story and Comings – The Art of Being Seen, I received a welcome update today on the third and longest audiobook in the Garratyverse: Reunion: Coda.

Narrator and producer Stefan Lee wrote to let me know that he’s nearly halfway through recording. There will be a brief delay in the studio— he’s having new windows installed, which will pause production for a day or two—but Stefan has already recorded several key sections ahead of time to minimize disruption.

Among the completed chapters are:

• The emotionally charged email exchange between Maddie and Jim
• The reflective Afterword
• The heartfelt Acknowledgments
• And the final chapter, “Full Circle in Miami”, which closes the book with quiet resonance

I’m grateful for Stefan’s care and foresight. His message was reassuring—not just in terms of progress, but in the emotional presence he brings to the work. Reunion: Coda is the longest and most layered of the three stories, and knowing that its emotional architecture is being honored in the recording process means a great deal.

There’s still a road ahead—more chapters to record, more files to review—but I’m hopeful. If all goes well, Reunion: Coda will be ready for Audible and Apple Books by February 2026.

Thanks, Stefan, for your dedication. And thanks to everyone walking with me through this journey of voice, memory, and emotional inheritance.
