Rifat Unal asked Tim Tigner:

Hi Tim, I'm a big fan of your books, do you know when will your new book "Falling Stars" be available in Audible? Thanks!

Tim Tigner Hi Rif,

Falling Stars will be available within 2 weeks--if there are no glitches. On that front, Audible is unpredictable. A glitch would add weeks to the timeline. Thank you for asking.

You might find the economics of audiobooks interesting. As an author, I write a book. Edit a book. Prepare a cover and marketing materials. Then I pay a narrator to read the book, and I pay a sound technician to edit and format the recordings. After all that, Audible keeps 60% of the profit--if I list it exclusively with them, or 75% if I want to distribute through competing channels as well. On top of that, they get complete control over pricing. Amazon now owns Audible. Wish I did ; )
