Audio Book Rating
Two Components
It’s especially nice that this star rating has both a story and performance component, and both were given a five star award.
While I believe that the five stories in “Texas Shorts Vol 1” are particularly good – lots of fun, fast, easy to read, action and humor and relationships nicely mixed – Drew Sobey‘s very nicely nuanced reading makes the audio version extra fun.
Hopefully we can work up an interview similar to my first, with Marcus Anderson, for another work, “The Old American Artist.”

Pricing
Nearly three hours of story audio, priced at $6.95 (less with various membership options on some of the outlets).
That seems a great price for both the five stories, and for the performance.

Book Description
Five short stories set in Texas, and featuring characters from all my current fiction work, are included in the first collection. Two are set in Galveston, and three in Austin. Four of the stories also serve as prequels to my first novel, The Children, presenting the full extended family, including all six cousins, the grandparents and parents, in action with each other and the world around them.
Separately, I also have a collection, Paris Shorts, Vol. 1 where most of the same cast, particularly the children, are in Paris. These serve as supplements to my longer Paris work, such as Slumming in Paris, Part One.
All in all, I enjoy having a large multi-generational extended family cast I can draw from, to present a wide range of experiences, often grounded in family.
Though it is still several projects down the line, an outlined Texas based work-in-progress, Lounging in Austin, will continue the same cast and family tradition.
