Kathryn was wonderful in this, she has the type of voice that's good for this and radio as well.

when was this auido snippet made? Just wondering.

Is this book aviable at walmart?

[benpatrickjohnson]

The book will be in Walmart and most other major retailers very soon. It's online at amazon and BN now, making its way quickly into the big bookstores, and will be in the department and general stores after that.

We recorded this excerpt in May. I still listen to it almost every day. hehe

I like especially with the voice of Kathryn Morris! Mr. Johnson: How was working with Kathryn? Why did you choose to work with Kathryn?

[benpatrickjohnson]

Hey there! Glad you like Kathryn's performance! Scroll down for more about our choosing her, and the experience of working with her.

If we sell enough copies of this first edition of the book, we will be able to do a full audiobook! Please buy the book and encourage friends! Recommend it! THANKS!!

I like Moris, but i dont understand a word she is reading. I am just wondering why you are not reading it???

[benpatrickjohnson]

It's an interesting challenge, as a man, writing from a woman's perspective. While I certainly could read from the book myself, I feel strongly the story should be told by a woman.

I loved Kathryn Morris for this because she's from Oklahoma (like the character) and is well-familiar with the subject matter.

While the accent may be challenging for your ears at first, I am really pleased with how much thoroughly and organically Kathryn got the emotions and motivations of the character.

Actually Kathryn's not from Oklahoma, she's from Texas and connecticut. I never read anywhere that she had lived in Oklahoma

I bleive it is the U-Tube that makes it hard to understand. I am an avid listener to books on CD and would bet money it will sound better on a live CD that hearing on U-Tube.

I was just going to say my mom would love this book, and also Id love to listen to it on audio..............hope it comes to audio! Its soothing!

[benpatrickjohnson]

If book sales are good, we will definitely do an audiobook (hint, hint!) ;-)

[nougatfresse]

lol nice!

[kathrynmorris1994]

ohmygod! her voice is like a lullaby!

its magical almost..

ahhh kathryn! so beautiful and talented!

:)<3

this story is amazing as well.

mr. johnson, i will definitly be picking up a copy :)

what inspired yu to write this book?

how was it working with kathryn?

[benpatrickjohnson]

Kathryn was a DREAM to work with.

Believe it or not we had just one hour to record this ... she got the character quickly -- Eva is in her blood, so to speak.

The book was inspired by my real family history. The character Kathryn is reading is my mother! It was surreal getting to direct Kathryn playing my own mom, let me tell you! :-)

If the book sells well, maybe we can get Kathryn to read the whole novel for audiobook! Nothing would make me happier.

Hope you enjoy the novel.

[kathrynmorris1994]

ONE HOUR!? oh my goodness! for the amount of time you had, it turned out great!

Wow, thats amazing! The only thing cool about my family history is that my dad was on the cover of sports illustrated. not to exciting compared to yours. ahaha! you and your mom must be so proud of each other :)

the audiobook would be awesome!

good luck :)

[zoomercrf]

I love her!! GReat read Kathryn!

[Mariusz0Industries]

Nice read by Kathryn... she has such an authentic sound to her voice

[superactorbrian]

Can Kathryn Morris be ANYMORE talented?!? She did an incredible job!

[benpatrickjohnson]

Please enjoy this excerpt, everyone.

We worked REALLY hard putting this together and I'm so flattered to have Kathryn's amazing voice bring the character Eva to life.

What a thrill for me!!
