Seaborn reading...

Sylvia Kelso (Amberlight) asked me if I was doing a reading at WisCon, and...no…I hadn't actually signed up for anything.  My first time at the con, and Seaborn's still a little ways out--3 months and closing...awfully fast.   I really should have, but I missed the deadline back in January--back when July seemed so far off.

Nothing to prevent me from getting into practice, though.  I sat down at the mic and read the first chapter--and I'd like to hear what you think. 

I've converted it into a few formats.  If you're inclined--say you really want an ogg version--use the 30MB 128kbps MP3.  Let me know, and I'll link to it, or you can send it to me:  chrishoward.author@gmail.com

Click on one of the formats below or download it. (The m4a opens in Quicktime on my machine, the wma is Windows Media Audio format).  To download in Windows: right-click, select Save Target As... from the popup menu  |  Mac: Ctrl+click and then "Download File"

SEABORN-Chapter1-48kbps-44.mp3  (MP3)
SeabornChapter1.m4a  (MP4)
SEABORN-Chapter1-48kbps-44.wma  (WMA)

Larger, better quality version:
SEABORN-Chapter1-256kbps1.mp3  (MP3, 30MB)

Enjoy!

I want more. I closed my eyes to listen and I felt like I was there in the rain watching the scene unfold. Kassandra from this chapter alone,sounds like she's a powerful character. I like how the Lt. was dumbfounded by her, he was on his toes right after he came out of his trance.

Hugs, Danette

Wow! Thanks, Danette. Kassandra has been one of my favorite characters ever, not always sympathetic, always kicking ass. Her story finishes with the next book, Sea Throne, and the backstory for Seaborn--Saltwater Witch--is a YA novel that's with another publisher, hoping to get accepted. I shipped out the Seaborn samplers--finally, a little late, I'm sorry. They're on their way to you. Love to hear what you think after ten chapters--and then in a couple months, after all thirty-eight chapters!

Thanks Chris,I'll let you know after I read the sampler :)

I hope you get the YA contract, I have a few YA authors on my auto buys.
Hugs, Danette
