NEW TO J.C.’s FICTION, OR PODCASTING?
I’ve been releasing free audiobooks since 2006; my print novel debut is Personal Effects: Dark Art, in stores now. It’s a novel that combines the traditional novel experience with a multimedia-fueled “out of book” narrative that unfolds via phone, email and websites.

You needed a spoiler alert in big bold letters for this post for those of us that haven’t gotten the book yet but who are listening to Sword of Blood.
Nonetheless I am super excited to buy the book.
No go with the spoiler alert, Lee. The resolution of “Personal Effects: Sword of Blood” is mentioned in Chapter 1 of “Dark Arts.” Spoiler Alert: Zach survives Sword of Blood … and so will you.
Hi there, first – really enjoyed “7th Son” & “Personal Effects: Sword of Blood”. Are there any plans to bring out “Personal Effects: Dark Art” as Audiobook?
all the best.
There are no plans to release “Dark Art” as an audiobook, though it is available for purchase in print and ebook formats.
