Excerpt:
The brand-new audiobook
The genesis of the audiobook is twofold. Firstly, I have a wonderful friend by the name of Kelly Edmison who swears by audiobooks and informed me that he would only listen to the book, not read it. The audiobook is dedicated to him.
Kelly and I studied together in Neuchatel, Switzerland back in 1969-70.
Secondly, many of the stories were recounted on air, when I worked at CBC radio, so are meant to be heard as well as read.
Overseeing the production of an audiobook is not for the faint of heart.
The project took a whole year to complete!
Tellwell authors are not permitted to narrate their own Tellwell audiobooks. The highly skilled narrator whom I selected from several options provided by the publisher had to overcome numerous obstacles, not the least of which stem from the bits of French and Slovak included in a few of the stories.
I’m excited to announce that the English version of my audiobook is at long last available on Audible, Amazon, and Apple Books, meaning listeners can purchase it outright, use an Audible credit, or get a discount if they own the Kindle version.

P.S.
Upon seeing the picture accompanying this posting, my plainspoken friend Kelly said, “Three old people reminiscing in a restaurant in France.”
The photo was taken in April 2023 when Kelly visited us in our then home city of Dijon, France.
