Ordinary grace book summary5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() It's a mystery that takes place in Minnesota in 1961 with classic literature very reminiscent of To Kill A Mockingbird. ![]() ![]() There are no particularly gripping moments or shocking revelations here but taken as a 'whole' this is a murder mystery that will not fail to grip you and will stay with you long after you've finished it. The descriptive passages devoted to both the locations, era and characters made it a memorable experience. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this novel. I'm not a believer in the religious sense and at times it could have been so easy to feel an edge of impatience taking over, but it's so well written that finally I just couldn't fail to be moved by his stoicism. The burden put onto the father of the Drum family. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Sensitively read and nothing 'over the top' which would have ruined the delicate balance of this novel What about Rich Orlow’s performance did you like? The over-whelming impact on the Drum family of the various incidents that unfold. What was one of the most memorable moments of Ordinary Grace? ![]() It's extremely well written with good quality characterisations that hold your interest and really make you care about what happens to each of them. Yes I would happily recommend this novel. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? ![]()

Craig alanson columbus day series5/11/2023 ![]() The script got pared down to fit the 60-second runtime, and we lost the ice cream truck and Skippy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Podium Audio was enthused about the idea and had contacts in the industry, we agreed to split the (still very expensive) cost. Reality check: we would have to sell our house to pay for this 60-second movie. Then I started looking around for a video company to make this short film. To kick off the project, I wrote a script for a 60-second movie that included an alien spaceship crashing into a field, an ice cream truck, Skippy saying snarky things etc. Not just a typical book ‘trailer’ that is just a still image of the book cover with some special effects, I wanted something like a movie trailer. So, I had an idea to make a live-action trailer for Columbus Day. ![]() So you made a live-action audiobook trailer? The story and title have not changed, just the series label. What is your suggested ExForce reading order?ĮF15 – December 2022 – last ExForce book Note: EF12 was intended to be the 3rd Mavericks book, but since the story has the Mavericks working with the Merry Band of Pirates and those sketchy Jeraptha, I decided to relabel it as an ExForce book. ![]() |
