C.J Cherryh of the Pyanfur Chanur books fame was very kind to reply to my emails yesterday regarding her Chanur series. I asked if it would be possible for her pressure her publishers into releasing proper audio versions. She replied that it would take upward pressure from places like Amazon and Audible.
I don’t know if you know, but if there are books you would like to listen too, Audible.co.uk and Audible.com (owned by Amazon) have an email address content-requests@audible.com where you can make your requests. I have used it a few times, and after reading Cherryh’s email I sent some more about her books.
She tells me that she has never had legitimate audio versions of her books available, and that piracy of her work is rampant online. Its such a shame. I have listened to many books from Audible, and some of the narrators are fantastic. They really suck you into the story. So if you love C.J Cherryh as much as i do, please use Audible and request they make her books available.

Great news, the entire Chanur #sci-fi series by C.J Cherryh has been released as #audiobooks at http://t.co/62kRS9eC one of my favourites
I would love to think my blog back in June 2011 had an impact, but I doubt it did. The main thing is that these awesome books have a new lease of life as audio versions and I am downloading them as i write this. I love listening to books on iPod when I’m working. I will be doing that very thing with these books in about 10 minutes!
