Since the series was already in audio (narrated by the wonderfully talented Adrian Bisson), you might be wondering why I decided to re-record it, and I suppose it's like remaking a favorite movie. Just because you have a great version, doesn't mean that you wouldn't enjoy another director's take or seeing another actor play the part of some beloved character. I like Derrick's work a lot and I thought it would be interesting to see what he brought to the series. I'm really enjoying listening, and I think you will too.
Meanwhile, here's the blurb for Blind Side.
With resources already overstretched, the last thing Will and Taylor need is another client.
And the last thing Will needs is for that client to turn out to be an old boyfriend of Taylor's.
But Ashe Dekker believes someone is trying to kill him, and Taylor is determined to help--whatever the cost.
Safe to say there will be some heartbreak this time around, but Will kind of brought it on himself. ;-)
And here's the playlist...

Meanwhile, I don't have a firm release date for Point Blank in audio or even Blind Side, to be honest. After the fiasco of The Monet Murders release I'm a little skittish about preorders. But I'll keep you posted!
Harry Stiles reminds me of a young Taylor!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for "Blind Side", I want a HUGE novel and a PB!
Love the boys!!!! Can't believe we are >6 mos. into the year, I'll have to review your upcoming works again.

I can't believe it either! It's kind of alarming.
DeleteI can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about the new audio, as well as the new book. I'm prepared for some heartbreak, no really I am. Sigh. I am all breathless waiting for this book. Or maybe that's the humidity!
ReplyDeleteHumidity and heartbreak. It sounds like a country song. :-D
DeleteOh my goodness... this playlist has heartache written all over it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it does. :-D
DeleteI suppose it's payback karma for all the David Bradley incidents he put Taylor through... haha.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it. I should try the new audiobook too to refresh :-)
We'll all be in training for the new book. :-D
DeleteWowzer! Preparing my gut and heart to be pulled around like silly putty.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to Derrick's take on the guys.
It's really fascinating listening to different narrators tackle the same material.
DeleteLike putty!
ReplyDelete:-D :-D :-D
DeleteYeah, love Will, but he has it coming after everything he's put Taylor through. BTW, came across an "interview" with a certain David Bradley that made me want to drop-kick him across the room, grrrr. I think I might be a wee bit too invested in your MCs :)
ReplyDeleteLOL. But I love that!
DeleteIf I say that I'm looking forward to seeing Will suffer, does that make me an evil person?
ReplyDeleteHahahaha. I suspect you're not alone.
DeleteThanks for the update! And whatever time it takes is the time it takes, no worries, ever.
ReplyDeleteThank you, ME. I appreciate that attitude so much.
DeleteI am looking so forward to the book and to the audiobook. Don't wrench my heart, please. ❤
ReplyDeleteWell, nothing that won't heal. ;-)
DeleteI JUST did a re-listen of these guys. I hope to one day hear Derrick McClain's rendition. Bring on that new book!
ReplyDeleteGreat play list -- as always! I love that you share the feel of the upcoming book with us in the form of music. I'm all for combining different art forms, so I always hugely enjoy your book play lists. And I'm definitely looking forward to Blind Side itself! Have fun writing, Josh!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Johanna. Settling on the playlist is always a good sign. Progress even. :-D
DeleteHello! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know
ReplyDeletehow to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when browsing from my iphone4.
I'm trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to fix
this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share.
Cheers!
I do not. Good question though. Maybe someone else here can answer.
DeleteNo Emmylou Harris!? Will would not approve. Looking forward to reading it. I am currently reading - and loving - Come Unto These Yellow Sands.
ReplyDeleteOuch! You're so right! I need to correct that. Something from Luxury Liner, I think...
DeletePeel the garlic. Any advice gratefully acquired.
ReplyDeleteNice try! ;-)
DeleteHello! I could have sworn I've been to this blog before but after browsing through some
ReplyDeleteof the posts I realized it's new to me. Nonetheless, I'm definitely delighted I stumbled upon it
and I'll be bookmarking it and checking back often!
