And there was much rejoicing throughout the land! Thank you to everyone for making this happen.
Ditto!
Wahoo!
Yay!!! indeed
Excellent news! And a big Thank You to everyone who made this happen.
Yay! It just wouldn’t have been the same without her. Thank you for working so hard to make this happen.
Kinda makes me want to go back on the road.
Nah…..

Yeah! Great! Thanks to all of you!
Interesting. I may have to buy these books as audiobooks now.
FYI. Did you know that John Scalzi is forming a Holiday Shopping Guide for readers over on his blog? You can go in and recommend your latest book (or get recommendations). http://whatever.scalzi.com/2012/12/03/whatever-holiday-shopping-guide-2012-day-one-traditionally-published-books/
Ya-a-a-a! She does a great job on the recordings. Thanks to all involved!!
oh well it is not the first book i have on paper and on audible
it sure as hell isn’t going to be the last 
Yay!
By the next three books, do you mean Magic Rises, Kate 7, and Kate 8 (!), or Magic Rises, Jim and Dali novel, and Kate 7?
YAYYYYYYY!!!
Thank you. I have all your books on paper and the audio version, now I just wait to get the Steel’s Edge audio version. Thank you for getting Renee Raudman to read the rest of the books. You are great, your books are the best. Love you.
Woohoo!
On another note – Renee is so stinking CUTE!
From her voice I always imagined her as a brunette – and she’s way prettier than have ever been – i think I shall hate her now.
lol! some people have it all, don’t they chelley? gorgeous, voice of an angel and then she goes and is incredibly nice to top it off….. wow. i wanna be her when i grow up! (well, maybe next lifetime…:-))
Awesome!!!
Hurray ! Thanks for saving Kate’s voice. Renee does such an awesome job, it’s hard to imagine anyone else.
Yippee! I have all your Kate books on bothe kindle and audio. Thanks for all your efforts!
I’ve wondered how long it takes to record a book. It’s amazing the readers can maintain the same pace an voice throughout the whole story, but I’ve wondered just how the process works and how long it takes to record it. Is the author consulted on, say pronunciation of some of the names or strange words? Or are you pretty much out of the picture once the contract is signed?
In any event, your audio books enhance my time in the car, so I’m eargerly looking forward to this one!
It is fascinating, isn’t it? Would love to know also. And, I also have everything on both audio and no on Kindle —- I can make the type big enough to see – it rocks.
Made my day! Just finished steel’s edge and it was AMAZING. I love the characters and the world. hope y’all revisit it in the future in fashion. Then I check blog and get the best news I could get! LOVE Renee raudman and Andrews combo
thanks you

This is wonderful news! Can’t wait.
Congrats to/for everyone!
Recorded books are a pretty good company in terms of quality. And after what happened to the sales figures for Jim Butcher’s “Ghost Story” (Dresden Files), where Penguin thought it was okay to replace James Marsters as reader with an unknown, you’d have thought audiobook companies would have learnt a thing or two. Just saying. Well done everyone!
Non Illigitimatum Carborundum!
Okay, it’s fake Latin, but the sentiment is genuine.
Yay!!
Huzzah!
Yipee!!!! I can’t wait; but I have to..
Thanks for all the pushing,it wouldn’t have been Kate without Renee…
Congrats!
Love it when the Fates conspire in your favor.
Oh thank the goddess!! I was trying to be grown up and mature about the whole issue but Renee is SO AWESOME that my mind froze everytime I thought about someone else reading your words. YAY!!
YAY!! Renee is soooo great at it. I still remember her tired voice saying “ring ring riiiiiiiing” when Saiman rang in book three and giggle like an idiot. She is awesome as the voice of Kate.
Wow! This really made my day! Renee is THE voice of your characters. My grateful thanks to Recorded Books, Renee and you for caring about what we want! Kudos to all! Can’t wait! Is is too early to pre-order?
I’ve never tried an audiobook before but after all the comments on how Renee makes it come alive am very tempted to try one. Out of interest if I buy an audiobook in the UK will it be Renee or is it region specific? Maybe I’m blind but can’t see on amazon.co.uk who the reader is on the audiobooks.
I live in the UK but bought all the Kate Daniels books from Audible.com in the US. I DO have a UK Audible account for some books that aren’t available in the US for international orders.
Renee is listed on the sales page at the top just under the title on Amazon.co.uk sales pages

Woo Hoo! This may be the most exciting Christmas present I receive this year. I’ll enjoy the rest of my presents, but this present is by far will be the most exciting since I can enjoy it over three more books. Thanks to Recorded Books and also to Renee for making life very sweet indeed!
*** Jumping up and down and shouting*** I am SOOOOO thrilled!!!! Is there someone I can write to at Recorded Books to thank them? Please, please, please tell Renee we are so thrilled to have her reading your books!!
This is the best Christmas present I could get —- you are the very, very best!!!!!
Yay! She’s definitely worth the wait!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, from the bottom of my heart!!!!!
AWESOME! I’m so very excited!
SWWWEEEEETTTTTT!! Now tell me that there’s still a chance of more edge stories and my year will be complete.
This is great news indeed. I was dreading what the next book would sound like without Renee. I have all the books in audio and paperback.
I often double up on purchases like that with books I love. C J Cherryh is another author I waited years for. Her Chanur series had never been in audio until recently. I wore out two sets of paperbacks before audible finally produced the audio versions a few months ago.

EXCELLENT!
Hi
I am thrilled about audio book agreement although I am not sure which books you mean But I have wanted to hear book 6 and it is not available in the same formats as the others thus not compatible with i touch ? Can you please reach an agreement for both formats? There are very few audiobook voices I can tolerate, but yours are amazing. It’s like being a kid again and having your mom read to you. Please consider both formats for all the fans of your writing.
