The audiobook for The Secret On The Second Shelf will be released on Audible, Amazon and Apple Books. Auditions for the narrator are currently underway…exciting times!

I’m excited to share that an audiobook edition of The Secret On The Second Shelf is currently in development and is planned for release in 2026.

This will be a fully unabridged audiobook, bringing the complete story to life exactly as it appears in the book, with no cuts, omissions, or simplifications. Every scene, moment of tension, and quiet detail will be faithfully preserved for listeners who want to experience the story in its entirety.

The audiobook is being carefully planned to capture the atmosphere, emotion, and suspense at the heart of the story. Particular attention is being given to performance, pacing, and tone, ensuring that the narration enhances the psychological tension, mystery, and character relationships that define the book. Listeners can expect a rich, immersive experience that allows the story to unfold naturally through sound.

As production progresses, more details will be shared, including updates on narration, and release platforms. Whether you are returning to the story or discovering it for the first time, the audiobook edition aims to offer a compelling new way to step back into its world.

Stay tuned for further updates as we move closer to release in 2026.
