 @33b0a4fd Thank you for narrating the audiobook version yourself (which narration, BTW, is really terrific). I’m blind and so doomed to use audiobooks, and I find that too often scientists farm out audio narration to people who clearly don’t understand what they’re reading, which makes listening difficult/painful.  So thanks for taking the time to do it yourself.  #Ocean #BlueMachine #Books #Audiobooks #Bookstodon 
 @96c84248 Authors don’t really get any say in who reads the audiobook.  The publishers just arrange it, and if they ask us, we might say yes.  Last time (Storm in a teacup) they never even asked me.   There is a trend towards author reading, but not all writers are good readers.
