Secret of the Crystal: First Chapter Audiobook Sample Released

/ Author, Brian K. Larson / Leave a comment

There’s so much going on, it’s been difficult making any updates here. Still, I just completed the first Salvage-5 rebooted audiobook. It’s scheduled for release on June 28th. That’s just next month. You can preorder on Spotify. Just go to the picture.

Progress is continuing on the Warlords Saga II audiobook; I’m now halfway finished with the final book, Return to Revein’sev.

I’m forecasting this being completed by fall… hopefully…

The biggest news is that my very first book I’ve ever written, is now in audiobook production.

That’s right. Secret of the Crystal: Brothers, is now underway. With the first chapter completed, I now have a five minute retail sample for your listening enjoyment.

I wrote this book over eleven years ago and was the very first book I ever wrote.

This scene, from chapter 1, where our hero’s brother, Jhovahkan has assembled his top officers. He begins to explain to them, that he is taking Jhahnahkan’s ship from him.

This clip also demonstrates just how evil Jhovahkan really is…

Final Chapters Editing for Time Dimensions Audiobook

/ Author, Brian K. Larson / Leave a comment

Oh my Goodness!!

Time Dimensions Audiobook is down to the final five chapters to edit and produce.

Whatever shall I do? Oh, I know. Keep on producing audiobook, that’s what.

I’ve attached the Dimensions trailer to remind y’all what this is all about. I’ll have a sample of the audiobook up soon, so stay tuned on that.

I am continuing with book 2 in the Warlords Saga II series. I am also working on the stand-alone version, “Return to Revein’sev.” Additionally, I am redoing the first book in the Colonel Tucker Petersen franchise, “Salvage-5: The First Mission.” The current audiobook narrator contract expires this June. The remaining four books, “The Next Mission,” “Another Mission,” and “Final Mission,” will be redone. This will be completed by this time next year.

There’s a lot going on and plenty of books to produce.

Warlords Saga II: Realm of Revein’sev and Return to Revein’sev – Audio Production Update

/ Author, Brian K. Larson / Leave a comment

After finishing the three book series, Salvage-5: Eye’s Wide Shut, I’ve resumed audio productions on Warlords Saga II. This is a two book volume that has Realm of Revein’sev and Return to Revein’sev. The first one was produced by another narrator. But, I’m redoing Realm of Revein’sev. These two are going to be awesome. These will be finished with background music, sound effects, and various character voices. These all are performed by yours truly, me.

Checkout the first Warlords Saga audio book by clicking that link. This will get you up to speed on what transpired in the first four books. These include: Warlords of Antares, Empress of Antares, Blood Scroll of Antares, and Rise of the Warlords. This was narrated by Ellery Truesdale. It’s a great audio book and Ellery does a nice job with the voices. but I wanted more special effects. So, I decided to redo Realm of Revein’sev.

This two book audio production will take some time. I started production earlier this year. Taking a break is necessary, since this is so labor intensive. First of all, every breath has to be noise canceled while editing down all the mistakes. Then, adding all the background music, scores, and special effects. Finally, quality checks, and ensuring the file meets the industry standards for acceptance. These don’t sound hard, but trust me, they are indeed, labor intensive.

I’ve posted this sample before, and feel it would be good to post again. It’s just under two minutes. This really showcases the background music scores and special effects as well as different character voices.

Enjoy!!
