Good news, everyone! The Last Bookshop is coming to Audible!

Since Fremantle Press published The Last Bookshop three months ago, some people have asked me if my book was going to be an audiobook... I would smile and say maybe one day when I got more famous, I might write books that became audiobooks.

I can now announce that day will be here sooner than I ever dared imagine and The Last Bookshop will be available in audio on all audio platforms, including Audible, Bolinda and Kobo!

Ulverscroft UK has bought large print and world audio rights. The world's leading publisher of large print, publishing 64 large print titles a month and one of the leading distributors of unabridged audiobooks, will be publishing my book in large print and in audiobook form for worldwide distribution.

Ulverscroft are adding my book to their new imprint Aurora, the world's first Australasian-focused large print and audiobook publisher.

Since its 2019 the imprint has published titles by the likes of my hero Peter Carey, author of Oscar and Lucinda, and Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project.

And now it will publish me! I even get consulted in the choice of narrator, I hear.

I am so pleased this will bring The Last Bookshop to a wider audience, including the visually impaired, especially since the book is about literally delivering books to people who, through age or infirmity, struggle to obtain them.

More details will be coming soon, but for now I just wanted to share this exciting news and thank everyone who has bought the book, recommended it to friends and family, and posted pictures of it on social media, because the buzz is helping it fly so much further than I ever imagined it would.
