recording audiobooks, audiobook production & publication since 2020
The Sound Of Change is book 2 of The Bards and Dragons Saga by Steve D. Wall.
The first instalment, The Way Of Renegades, has been really successful on Audible and the new book looks to do even better.
Like the first book, The Sound Of Change was produced here at Landen Park Studio by Justin Hill, with studio regular Steven Pacey narrating.
Update: Pentark is now completed and published. See this more recent post.
At the beginning of August, we’ll be starting work on T. L. Brechin’s debut novel Pentark. Multi award-winning narrator and Landen Park Studio regular Rosalyn Landor will be narrating.
Pentark is a sword-and-sorcery fantasy set on the Isle Of Spheres, where a disparate group of characters including dwarves, elves, knights and animals must come together to restore lost magical stones to the Pentark, defeating the forces of darkness and restoring balance to the land.
Award-winning film composer Michael Vickerage has written an original score to accompany the audiobook. Vickerage last worked with us two years ago – on Kerry Lynne’s Pirate Captain, which was edited, mixed and post-produced here at Landen Park Studio.
Producer Justin Hill will be at the helm. Pentark will be published and distributed by The Other Operation.
In our second project with the Institute of Ismaili Studies, we recently produced Wen-chin Ouyang’s Ethical Living Through Stories: Encounters with Adab.
Narrated by Clive Hayward and co-directed by Justin Hill and Russell Harris, Ethical Living Through Stories explores and compares Adab – muslim ethics of living – and Wen – confucian – through classical literature.
We’ve just finished another two audiobooks with one of our favourite narrators – Steven Pacey.
The first, The Sound Of Change by Steve D. Wall, is a sequel to his highly successful debut The Way Of Renegades – also produced here at Landen Park Studio.
The second is Artificial Wisdom by Thomas R. Weaver. We produced this in its original form in 2023 but subsequently Thomas sold the rights to Penguin Random House, who asked us to produce a revised version for them.
Both these books will be appearing on your favourite audiobook platform in the next couple of months. We love working with Steven: his wonderful voice, incredible acting, hilarious impressions – and most of all, the gardening tips!
