Long Hot Summer Listens - New and Top Audiobooks from Cleis Press

Rose Caraway, of the popular podcast The Kiss Me Quicks, was featured as an example of a success story in an article about creating a successful audiobook on Audible.

She reviewed the new Cleis murder/mystery novel The Killer Wore Leather and hosted a guest post from the author, Laura Antoniou, about the making of the audiobook, and Antoniou's thoughts on the audiobook/ebook trend.

Caraway has turned Gotta Have It, edited by the remarkable Rachel Kramer Bussel, into an audio bestseller.
