Hi everyone, Mod R here.
Sweep of the Heart, the fifth and most recent Innkeeper Chronicles novel, is up for preorder on the Graphic Audio website here.
The release will be January 18th 2024 for the GA website and their Access app. Here is a post with instructions on how to create an account and app stream or download the other file formats.
The adaptation will show up on February 2nd 2024 on other retailers like Audible, Hoopla, Chirp, Overdrive etc. I will liaise with the lovely Nora Achrati, who is the director of the project, and try to get the Horde an exclusive sample when they become available.
Here are all the Innkeeper GA adaptations which have already been released. Sweep of the Heart will complete the collection and bring us up-to-date with the series- I can’t wait to hear the Intergalactic Bachelor games come alive.
Graphic Audio are also in the process of editing Magic Bleeds, the preorder is already live here on the GA website. It is scheduled for November 8th release on the Access ap, and for Audible and the rest of the usual retailer systems on November 29th. I’ve had access to the script and it will be so amazing. Erra and Grendel and all the steamy Kate and Curran we deserve, woohoo!
I know I have to end this with a brief “what is Graphic Audio” for all the newcomers: they are a company that produces full-cast dramatized adaptations of books, with each character being interpreted by a different actor, and adding soundtrack and sound effects, similar to a radio theatre play. Their tagline is “A movie in your mind” and I think they fully deliver!
The holidays are our busiest time of the year at work, and I am SO EXCITED to have this to look forward to at the end of them. Can’t wait for Graphic Audio’s Gaston to chew the scenery!
Woohoo! It’s on sale! Gimmie!
Hooray!! I love GA’s adaptations of your books. I never liked listening to books until I tried GA. Just finished listening to Magic Burns, in fact.
GraphicAudio is the best thing to happen to my reread-obsessed self. I somehow spaced on Magic Strikes being released and devoured it last week. Nom, nom, nom so good.
Loving the Kate adaptations!
Sweep of the Blade is so amazing! I’ve listened to it at least 4 times! I can’t wait for the new one!
I don’t often listen to audio books – prefer to read – but i can’t recommend the GA versions enough. The innkeeper series got me through a long year of plane, car and bus travel. Working through Kate Daniels now. I listened to the first couple on Hoopla and ended up buying them for myself.
Yeah!! ❤️
I love the GA adaptations and have pre-ordered Sweep of the Heart (being on sale is just the cherry on top!).
Magic Bleeds only a few weeks away – woo hoo!!
Pre-ordered!!
Yay! I LOVE all of their IA adaptions! 🤗
I hadn’t heard of them before they did the first Innkeeper and now I’m obsessed. They are what I think audiobooks should be. (Although I completely understand if you prefer traditional audiobooks!)
My husband and I enjoyed GA Magic Strikes last week on vacation. The first words out of his mouth at the end was “When is the next one”?
*Happy Dance*
I LOVE the GA audios. They make long drives so much fun.
I didn’t know about Graphic Audio until they released the first Innkeeper, and now I’m obsessed. They leave old-fashioned audiobooks in the dust; I listen to them over and over, catching new nuances each time. Off to pre-order!
If I ever go on a very long distance road trip, I’ll have to try Graphic Audio. When I’m home, I prefer to read the books on my Nook. 🙂
Why do I get the feeling the person who portrays Gaston will be channeling his inner “Let’s get ready to rumble!” voice. 😀
The funny thing for me is that the Graphic Audio recordings converted me from a reluctant audiobook listener to a real fan. I love the Innkeeper books on Graphic Audio, particularly the voice actor for Sean – his performance really added depth to Sean’s character, added little flashes of humor and character that I hadn’t quite caught in the text. Arland sounds wonderful, as do Dina, Orro, Caldenia and George as well. It makes the single-narrator version sort of clank for me now, particularly when the narrator tries to do opposite-gender voices.
Yes, I too love Sean’s voice actor. His delivery gives Sean more humor, which I appreciate. Also, he has a believable werewolf voice. Many years ago I remember an interview with Robby Benson, who voiced the Beast in Disney’s 1991 “Beauty and the Beast”, in which he talks about the two sides of his voice — the regular voice and what he called his before-coffee voice IIRC. Both are Benson, and both are real and stirring. Ryan Reid’s voices are like that, too. Love it!
In re-reading the books, for the most part I think the flashes of humor (often sort of self-deprecating) are written in there, I just didn’t hear it in my head while reading the text. The slower pace of audio allows the voice actor a little more breathing room to get the barely audible snort in.
Woohoo! Have been waiting for Sweep of the Heart – can’t wait to hear George again (I hope they brought back the same people).
Re: Kate – actually I’d prefer not to listen to spicy scenes… a bit too embarrassing! I cringed at even the kissy sound effects in One Fell Sweep.
I make heavy use of Overdrive and Hoopla for ebook borrowing, and the rare audiobook.
With long drives and copious sewing on my todo list, I went searching for IA audiobooks.
I’m thoroughly entertained by my first experience of GA’s “Clean Sweep!”
Arland just enjoyed his two cups of coffee. 😆
Thank you to all the parties involved bringing us this fun. 🤩
I love GraphicAudio. It’s so exciting to hear the story. This way I’ve purchased every single one that they sell for you house Andrews, and hope to continue to receive more from you.
Yay! This is great!
I ordered it two days ago and am already listening to it.
Hi Michelle, this GA dramatized adaptation has not been released yet 🙂 . What you’re most likely listening to is the traditional audiobook, with one narrator, which was released earlier in the year.
I cannot wait for Sweep of the Heart on GA. It’s an amazing story but getting to hear all of the dates with voice actors is so exciting.
Squee!
Hey Mod R, I know better than to ask for more books this year, but I’m just a girl looking through a doorway to Daesyn, wondering if HouseAndrews might do a holiday zoom chat and drop some teases for what happens after Sweep of the Heart. I would never ask Gordon to spoil anything, but I do wonder if Lady Illemina is cool with the inn parking a giant magnolia tree on their planet.
A winter Q&A is a fabulous idea, I’ll propose it to House Andrews!
Can’t wait! I love the GAs. BTW, I just finished listening to an Audible book where one of the characters was named Alexa. I can’t tell you how irritating it was having to tell “Alexa” never mind every time the character’s name was spoken.
This announcement made my morning even brighter. Big thanks.
I just discovered Graphic Audio over the summer and enjoyed the Innkeeper series so much!
So glad to hear that Sweep of the Heart will soon be available too.
Looking forward to “live action” Kate Daniels as well.
The first 3 Kates are already available on the GA website 🙂 https://www.graphicaudiointernational.net/our-productions/series/k-r/kate-daniels.html
I preordered it yesterday to add to my set. Yes, I’m smugly doing my happy dance. Gonna put in my buds, kick back, and puzzle my daughter and cats as I take on the appropriate facial expressions to match the scene. So much fun. Thank you, IA!
I started listening to the graphic audio versions of the innkeeper series and LOVE it. thank you!
I just finished my first ever Graphic Audio book Clean Sweep.
Oh my! How did I not know to do this before!!! 🥰
Thank you Universe and Ilona Andrews !
