Particular Intentions Audio Book Release Day!!

Particular Intentions is now available through Audible and on Amazon and iTunes as an audiobook! I’m so excited to have it available this way, and hope in the future that I can work backwards a bit to offer you the rest of my books as well, though I’ll need a little break before I start putting more books up for that!

  1. What a wonderful giveaway package! Whether I win or not, the Austin stuff was cool to look at and I’m off to check out your books.

    1. Awesome! Thanks, Lucy!

    Excellent giveaway. Love the socks.

    1. Aren’t they great! My husband just rolled his eyes when he saw them. Made them even better 😉 Thanks, Carol!

        Your husband isn’t the only one with the eye rolling, Leslie! A couple of years ago, I won a non-book giveaway that consisted of a “Do Not Disturb – I’m reading Jane Austen” door plate and a “I’d rather be at Pemberley” compact mirror. When the packet arrived the comment was “What is it this time? Mr. Darcy’s fob watch?” Not sure what he’d say about the socks!

        1. LOL! My husband just goes with it, and will find me items online sometimes. I think the socks were just a bit much for him. 🙂 I still think they’re great. Thanks, Anji!

    You should be very proud, Leslie! Regardless of whether I win or not, IMHO, Audio Books represent a level of professionalism that not every author can achieve so your “win” is good enough for me!

    1. Thanks a bunch, Katherine! It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while, but sometimes it’s just taking that first step. 🙂

    I just read “Particular Intentions” for the second time not too long ago. I can’t but help think how great it would be to stretch back at night, turn the lights out, and have it read to me before bedtime! You have selected some great prizes for your giveaway, Leslie.

    1. Love to hear about re-reads. They are definitely great compliments! Thanks, Linda!

    I am very partial to an audio book and my favourites are always anything related to Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice, at the moment I am listening to Return to Longbourn by Shannon Winslow and am loving it. If I’m not lucky enough to win a copy I will keep my eye out for it on Amazon. Thx from Lisa G

    1. Good luck, Lisa! Thanks a bunch!

    What a great giveaway Leslie. However I don’t have the facility for audio books so please don’t enter me in the draw. But you know me – can’t resist a comment 😃 so I will just say good luck with releasing the rest (and obviously with writing more!) I’m working on fitting more hours in the day so will let you know if I solve that problem 😂

    1. LOL! When you figure it out, please let me know! I could use more hours if for nothing more than a nap. 😉 Thanks, Glynis!

    Thanks for a great giveaway! I love audiobooks because I can sneak more “reading” in during my commute or during bouts of spreadsheet hell lol.

    1. Yikes! I’m not a fan of spreadsheets. My husband makes them and I ruin them. 🙂 Good luck, Lauren, and thanks for commenting!

    Thank you for the giveaway. I am in desperate need to read another sequel, and I like all things Jane Austen. Good luck to everyone but specially to me.

    1. I don’t really write sequels, but still JAFF fun. Good luck, Schlomit!

    How wonderful – I’d be delighted (and honored) to have such a gift package. If it’s Austen, then it works for me.

    Thank you so much, Leslie – and good luck to all!

    1. Can’t go wrong with Austen, can you? Thanks, Lilyane!

    1. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks, Lynn!

  2. I have this book already but giveaways are so much fun. The socks are cute. It also fun to listen to audio. It nice to know how many other readers are into JA fanfic. We can really get hocked on D&E.

    1. We can definitely get addicted to D&E! Thanks, Charlotte!

  3. Totally entering 😀

    1. I’m so glad! Thanks, blodeuedd!

    Congratulations! I so enjoyed Particular Intentions and have it as an e-book. I have not yet progressed to audiobooks though, but I would love to have a chance at the other items!!!

    1. We’ll have to see what we can do to get you into audio books! 😉 They’re great while you clean house! My house was the cleanest it’s been in a long time while I was listening to this one. Thanks, Carole!

    Thank you for the great giveaway, this is one of the many books on my to be read shelf that my library does not have yet so it would be great to win it and an audio is even better since you do other things while listening or listen with someone else who is a Jane Austen fan. The other items in the giveaway package sound really fun as well. The socks look really cute.

    1. The socks are fun. I love finding new things to put in my giveaways! Thanks, Chelsea!

    As a big fan of audiobooks, it’s so good to hear that you’re considering putting your back catalogue on to audio, too.

    Thanks so much for the lovely generous giveaway. Curling up with a good book with feet all nice and warm in a pair of JA socks (see my comment above about my hubby’s possible reaction to that) sounds like an ideal evening!

    1. I’m trying to, Anji. You just have to put it up there and hope someone good auditions. My books are rather long, so we’ll see. I’ve had two auditions for An Unwavering Trust, and I’m not a big fan of either unfortunately.

      I’m almost tempted to send you a pair of socks just for the story of his reaction. 😉

      Thanks, Anji!

    Congratulations on the release of your audio book and thank you for the giveaways. This book is in my reading list. I love the cover! Historically, I have never won anything and I gave up trying for giveaways long time ago. However, I find having the honor of having a brief conversation with all of you talented authors and reading my fellow fans’ comments as thrilling as winning.

    1. We’re honored to talk to you too! I hope you win something soon. I’m not usually one who wins drawings either, but you never know. Thanks, Pouran!

    Congrats on the audiobook. I have to admit I prefer something to hold, but the audiobook is a great step for you as an author. I also meant to comment on one of the other posts about this book; I think this is my all-time favorite JAFF cover. Too cool. (I like your others as well.) The JA socks are great. My husband gave me a pair for Christmas, along with a JA mug and a book of quotes. Thankfully he tolerates my JAFF obsession.

    Thanks for your great books!

    1. Thanks so much for the compliment on the cover! I’m so picky and it usually takes me a little while to find a portrait that hasn’t been used before, but it’s worth it. I do love this one. I already have a portrait in mind for Particular Attachments, but I’m still working on it. Thanks, Alecia!
