(Actually, that’s the three-minute Hamlet. Sorry, but since Scott so rarely performs it in public we’d almost forgotten which story it was. Which is a great reason to ask him to do it there at the booth, yes? Peer pressure can be a dangerous thing….)
Hey everyone, Scott is slammed with prepping for the northern geek migration known as WonderCon, where he will be selling hardcopy editions of every title Brick By Brick Audiobooks has thus far published – THE PHOENIX LEGACY trilogy, three Thomas Covenant books (LORD FOUL’S BANE, THE ILLEARTH WAR, FATAL REVENANT), and A CHRISTMAS CAROL – as well as our latest arrival: Mary Shelley’s FRANKENSTEIN! (And yes, FRANKENSTEIN will be up on the site for your downloading and hardcopy-ordering pleasure early next week.)
Click here to listen to samples from these great books!
FRANKENSTEIN is the first book in BBB’s new FIRST EDITION line, which will focus on those classic pieces of literature that have endured the test of time, and which Scott will narrate using the text of the title’s first edition. “The form in which the author originally intended the story be told,” said Mr. Brick, “is the perfect way to experience it in their original form.” More on that, and the Frank Herbert bio DREAMER OF DUNE (which is still in the works but a bit delayed) to come. Of course, just like all Brick By Brick Audiobooks titles, FIRST EDITION titles will always be unabridged.
And yes, each title put out by Brick By Brick Audiobooks will be available in hardcopy form, in either CD or MP3 CD editions. And whereas it’ll be a little while before we can get them all set up for purchase here on the website, they will all be available at Scott’s booth this weekend at the convention, so stop by and get the very first editions anywhere!
So swing by booth #1221. He’s looking forward to seeing each and every one of you. I’m not just saying that because he’s paying me – I’m saying it because it’s true. Go stop by and you’ll see for yourself.
In other news, we also just added another interview to the Press page: eMusic’s interview with Scott where he talks about how training in theater prepares you for audiobooks, the ins and outs of accents and/or lip balm, and, of course, old-time radio.
That’s about it for now. Keep an eye out for FRANKENSTEIN next week, and thanks for listening!

Scott,
This is cool. I’m going to try to get over there either Friday or Sunday so it will be cool to talk to you again. I hope you guys will be there either one of those days. The last time was at Nakamoto Productions in Sacramento.
I hope the Con turns out to be great for you.
Take care,
Jon Morss

First Editions – will these be of works that are within the public domains? Or will entries include renewed copyright / copyrighted material as well?
Interesting choice, and it’s good to see an absolutely classic come to the fore again after all of these years.
