Mysteries on Tape (or CD or MP3):
When did we start
listening to books instead of just reading them? How did it happen that
we now rely on audiobooks to pass the time -- in the car, cleaning
house, walking about town or working in the garden? Haila Williams,
Acquisition Editor at Blackstone Audiobooks will talk about how she
selects books to be recorded, shepherds them through production
and then gets them out the door at the
February 9th 7pm meeting of the Ashland Mystery
Audiobooks are now very much a part of the American way of life and portable listening devices like compact disk players and iPods have revolutionized how book lovers can enjoy their favorite authors. Listening to a book is a unique experience and is a very different one from reading one. The experience is so different that you may find you prefer some authors on audiobook and others on paper.
What makes the audiobook just perfect for mysteries? Ever wonder whether an author can read their own works? Or how tricky is it to proof an audiobook? As Acquisition Editor at Blackstone Audiobooks, Williams can answer all your questions.
The Ashland Mystery Readers Group meets monthly, hosting mystery writers and readers who visit the Rogue Valley. The series is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library and Keller Williams Realty of Southern Oregon.
The Ashland Mystery Readers Group also produces the cable access television show Ashland Mystery, rvtv noir, airing Wednesdays at 7:30 pm on Cable Channel 31 in Jackson County, Cable Channel 15 in Josephine County and Cable Channel 95 on AFN. Now showing is Curt Colbert's 1940s Seattle Noir, interviewed by Ed Battistella.

Readers Group event, held at the Ashland Public Library.
With
an audiobook, not only do you get the nuance of character, setting and
plot thanks to the author's words, with an audiobook, you also get
accents, dialog, inflection and the pace of the spoken word.
Just think
