Earlier this year, I recorded the audiobook for Wes Blake’s debut novel, Pineville Trace. I’ve narrated several audiobooks, but this one was special for me. Wes and I met in grad school at the Bluegrass Writers Studio in 2014. We taught in the same school district in Jessamine County Kentucky. And we shared a few drinks and some adventures in Lisbon.
So when he asked me to narrate his novel, I immediately asked, "How much will you pay me?"
Critics have praised Pineville Trace; readers adore it:
--This was an utterly compelling read.
--Pineville Trace is a quiet odyssey, an unexpectedly meditative journey of a minor outlaw.
--Good first book
--The cat is my favorite, and not just because I am a super-fulfilled old cat lady.
--... an achingly beautiful story with a complex character at it center.
--... beautifully read by Michael Mau.
And I sure loved recording it. To hear the whole novel, you’ll have to buy it yourself, but I wanted to share a couple of chapters just to tease you.
So here, for your listening enjoyment, is Pineville Trace by Wes Blake.
If you want to hear more, or even read the book yourself, you can go to https://wesblake.com/ . There you can read interviews with Wes, find out where he’ll be speaking, and look at his face, which doctors say is too small for his head.
