This is the story of how my Waking Late trilogy (Sleeping Duty et al.) will become available in audio.   So, I’m reading my email. I have received a note through my fiction website from a company called Podium Publishing, which wants to talk to me about turning Waking Late into audiobooks.   I stare…
