Hi everyone, Mod R here.
I bring you goodies, and not the fuzzy eight-legged type like Ilona did in the previous post hehe.
As most of you know, after the huge success of their Innkeeper Chronicles releases, Graphic Audio are now working on full-cast adaptations of the Kate Daniels series.
I’m excited to share with you an exclusive blog sample of their version of Magic Bites. It’s not just *any* excerpt either, they know how to make us happy: it’s the beginning of the classic Here Kitty Kitty fan-fave. Unicorn Lane awaits!
This is complete and delightful blog bonus- the official sample uploaded on the pre-order page is a different scene- Kate interrogating Corwin.
I know you’ll want links: Magic Bites and Magic Burns are already up for preorder on the GA websites. Magic Bites is also already up on most third party retailers’ websites. Look for the tell-tale “dramatized adaptation” next to the title in order to tell it apart from the traditional one-narrator audiobook on your favorite audiobook supplier catalogue.
PS: Speaking of the success of the GA Innkeeper adaptations, the Audie Awards 2023 are taking place tonight, and Graphic Audio version of Clean Sweep is nominated in the Best Audio Drama category. Keep your fingers crossed for House Andrews and Nora’s team!
OOOOOOOOHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYYYY GODDDDDDDD!!!!! I just got chills the entire length of my body and tears in my eyes listening to the clip you shared Mod R! Thank you so much, IT’S SO GOOD!!!!!! (capitals and exclamation marks intentional). I am beyond excited. P.S. Welcome back Mod R 🙂
And what a choice bite it is! I can’t wait to hear the full story!????????
OMG: Next time a do a re-read, I will now have voices to go with the characters.
Oh my goodness!!! Curran’s voice is sooooo nice, it’s the same I hear in my head while reading ????
I paused listening to the GraphicAudio of One Fell Sweep to listen to this. Dina and Kate sound so similar but there are different voice actors credited which tripped me up.
They are doing an awesome job with these and I’m hooked.
Can’t wait!
It’s the same actor ????, Nora Achrati (also known professionally as Sofyan). You can read an interview with her on the process of adapting dramatised audiobooks here https://ilona-andrews.com/2023/guest-interviews-graphic-audio/
Thank you!!!!
That snippet is so awesome. Thank you for sharing.
That’s not Renee Raudman’s voice, but it sounds familiar…
Who is it? ????
Never mind! ???????????? I need to learn to read others comments before posting my questions. ????
Nora Sofyan (Achrati)- she has narrated Sweep of the Heart, which is where you may know her from ????
This is the dramatised adaptation by Graphic Audio, not the one narrator traditional audiobook with Renee Raudman ????.
Already preordered on Audible and upset I can’t preorder the next one yet. I didn’t even check the snippet first. I just know it’s going to be amazing.
When will Magic Claims be available to recommend on library2go?
Hi Stevie,
In order to appear on systems, Magic Claims has to have an ISBN number, which cannot be obtained until the final manuscript exists ???? (which is does not yet).
Soon, but we’ll have to have a bit more patience!
I will try, very hard. But it is so hard! I love this new life stage of Kate and the family.
Thank you!!! I cannot wait!!
This is going to be Awesome!
Now we need Curran POV audio!
The Curran POVs will be included – each with the book they correspond to ????
At the end of Magic Bites we’ll get Curran Unicorn Lane, at the end of Magic Burns we’ll have Soup etc ????
Well that’s fun! I can see buying GA just to get those.
good ????
Yes, fan favorite. Seriously, one of my two favorite scenes since LoTR (the other is from Wen Spencer’s Tinker-verse, the intro to the first Pittsburgh Backyard & Garden story).
I think of this any time I think of stuff I love, and cackle. I have both the paper and the original audio version of this book, but this version also sounds absolutely awesome!!
Rereading Ruby Fever and one thought comes up. You show us the scorpions that visit your home How come no scorpions ever visit the Legacy families?
Most scorpions prefer hot and dry. There is one species found in Houston and coastal that prefers cool and wet. East TX is certainly wet anyway lol. My folks lived in that area for over 50 years without ever running into one, so I really don’t think they’re very common. Unlike central or south Texas! HA lives in an area noted for them, I’d say. I’ve not seen any in Austin in the 26 years I’ve lived here now. But I had a house in Corpus Christi umpteen years ago and that whole neighborhood was noted for them too.
Oh, is it me or is it the same reader as the Innkeeper Chronicles? When I hear this voice, I see Dina not Kate!
Ok, that excerpt was excellent. I wasn’t sure about the voices but as it went on, I really appreciated them. I wasn’t interested in graphic audio before, but I sure am now.
I can’t find House Andrews post that included mango pico de gallo recipe! I was keeping it open and I had a crash and lost it. Can I have a link, Mod R? Please!
Of course, here it is 🙂 https://ilona-andrews.com/2021/its-thursday-yay/
I’ll email it to you too, just in case it’s a culinary emergency 😀
I could not sign in to Audible fast enough to pre-order the dramatized adaption. I’m currently listening to The Innkeeper Chronicles again, they are by far my favorite audiobooks. I’m so excited for this!
I love it!
I can’t wait. Gonna preorder the crap out of these.
I already pre-ordered and am counting the days!????????????
that is one of the last spider lords from betalganela 4!
I read your first for books on Readict .. in the same Innkeepers series. Loved so much I wanted more .. they ended with such mystery .. I can’t wait so I ordered them in Amazon. Your amazing writer thank you for your sharing your gift freely.
Hype!!!
The graphic sound is so vivid I love this sound sample
OHHHHHH the narrator is GREAT!!!<3 <3 so much excitement
I’ve never been interested in audiobooks since I like reading in my own voice (and I read much faster than listening to someone read for me) but the graphic audio sample for Magic Bites is super interesting! Particularly really like Curran’s voice because that’s how I imagined him to be in my head. Super excited to try this title and experience the book in a totally different way! 😀
