Thank you.īut I'm not doing this for the money. And my family's finances have taken a severe beating since the Covid-19 crisis hit-I'm sure you can sympathize. As of this writing, we have raised more than $207,000. Because I am set up to act as an e-book retailer for my publishers (including both Tor and Attack Surface UK publisher, Head of Zeus) I was able to list both the series backlist and the Attack Surface audiobook on the crowdfunding campaign. Last week, I launched a Kickstarter for presales of the audiobook. The result is a superb, 15-hour unabridged audiobook, mastered by John Taylor Williams, who's been editing my podcast for more than a decade. And we hastily retooled our recording plans when the lockdown started, setting up a week's worth of Zoom calls between Amber's basement studio, the director's home, and my home office. We hired Amber Benson (a spectacular Random House author who played "Tara" on Buffy the Vampire Slayer) to read the book. Instead, I retained my audiobook rights and contracted with Skyboat Media, an audiobook powerhouse (that happens to be around the corner from my home in Burbank) to record the Attack Surface audiobook. I understand that logic-after all, I was basically demanding they eschew as much as 90% of the potential audiobook market for the book. However, given that I won't let my audiobooks be sold through Audible, Tor took the absolutely reasonable position not to acquire the audiobook rights for Attack Surface. On October 13, Tor is bringing out Attack Surface, a standalone sequel to Little Brother and Homeland (also a bestseller, but who’s counting). And some 12 years later, we're still waiting for that to happen.īut I'm done waiting. But I told Random House, the publisher bringing out the audiobook for my bestselling book Little Brother, to hold off on Audible distribution until that happened.
