Sneak Peek! Oak King Holly King audiobook excerpt

Please enjoy this sneak peek inside the Oak King Holly King audiobook!

Gary Furlong has graciously given permission to share his audition audio. This excerpt in particular allows you to hear his skillful approach to a voice that – those of you who’ve read the book will know – is more important than it may at first appear.

And if you’d like to hear Gary narrate the rest of the book, you’ve got just four days left to back the Kickstarter!

Oak King Holly King is a queer Victorian fantasy romance between a fae warrior and a mortal clerk.

Perfect for readers who enjoy…

  • fae folklore
  • Victorian shenanigans
  • big buff guys who just wanna be soft
  • sharp little guys who are tired of being kicked around
  • lush fantasy worlds, liminal spaces, cozy cottagecore vibes, and queer community.

Our audiobook narrator is Gary Furlong. If you’re a queer romance audiobook enthusiast you may recognize him from…

  • The Secret Casebook of Simon Feximal by KJ Charles
  • The Ruin of a Rake by Cat Sebastian
  • The Soldier’s Scoundrel by Cat Sebastian
  • The Lawrence Browne Affair by Cat Sebastian

To claim your copy of the audiobook (alongside rewards like stickers, deep-discounted ebooks, and signed and annotated paperbacks), back the Kickstarter campaign today!

Queer Audiobook Seeking Narrator!

The hour has arrived to turn Oak King Holly King into an audiobook – and I need YOUR help to find its voice!

Oak King Holly King is a gay Victorian fantasy romance between a fae warrior and a mortal clerk. It has high heat and high adventure to the tune of 150k words.

Ever since its release, readers have demanded an audiobook version. To that end I’m now seeking…

  • male narrator
  • well-hydrated
  • capable of British accents beyond RP (Northern accents particularly sought!)

This is a PAID gig! Standard industry rates to be crowdfunded through preorders on Kickstarter. The Kickstarter campaign is planned for January or February of 2024. If possible I’d like to have the audiobook itself ready for release by June 21st 2024. Regardless of whether the Kickstarter campaign succeeds or fails, you will be paid in full up front to record narration for the Kickstarter video (explaining the project, why it needs funding, etc.) and the first chapter of the book to use as a sample for the Kickstarter page. If the Kickstarter campaign fails, the audiobook will not go into production.

Auditions are open now through November 30th.

Please email nothwellsebastian@gmail dot com for the audition script.

And as always, thank you for reading!
