Get ready for more indie audiobooks - fantasy author Tracy Falbe producing second fantasy novel for audio market
Expanding opportunities for indie writers now include
audiobooks. Like other authors, fantasy writer Tracy Falbe is grabbing her
chance to place her novels in Audible and iTunes through the do-it-yourself
option at Audio Creation Exchange www.acx.com.
Falbe is midway through the recording of The Goddess Queen:
The Rys Chronicles Book II, the sequel to her first audiobook Union of
Renegades. Using a monthly installment plan with her narrator Andrew Wetmore,
she is on schedule for a late summer release of the completed 158,000 word
audiobook that will total roughly 16 hours.
Currently 14 chapters are complete and available at her
website http://www.braveluck.com/. They
are bundled into 2-chapter episodes for $1.50 each to help finance production.
Completing The Goddess Queen for the audio market is important to Falbe because
when coupled with Union of Renegades, listeners will get a complete story as
many plot lines are tied up.
Having a viable chance to be part of the popular audiobook
market is exciting for Falbe, who’s been publishing since before indie writers
had good outlets for their fiction. Although the success of her first audiobook
Union of Renegades has been modest, initial listener responses were positive
and she has had requests for The Goddess Queen: The Rys Chronicles Book II.
“I’m planning on ramping up my audio marketing efforts once I
have the second novel completely recorded. Then I’ll have enough product ready
to justify marketing expenses,” Falbe said.
She considers audiobooks a logical place to expand in the
worldwide digital marketplace. Since the ebook retail marketplace began
including indie writers, she has been growing her audience for her fantasy
ebooks. Falbe is the author of two fantasy series quartets, The Rys Chronicles
and Rys Rising. In October 2012, she published her eighth novel Love Lost.
She considers the audio production of Union of Renegades and
The Goddess Queen to be a pilot program for her business. It gives her a way to
test the market. She dreams of enough success to invest in recording all her
novels someday.
Audiobooks in mp3 format are easy for her to sell worldwide
from her websites, but it was the opportunity to be distributed into the
dominant Audible marketplace that convinced her to invest in audio production.
“All I’ve ever really needed is a chance to be available to
fiction lovers whatever the format. Not everyone likes my work, but when they
do, they want more,” Falbe said.
