As part of the continuing partnership between ITW and Audible.com, Audible has just released Silent Screams, the first book in C. E. Lawrence's new thriller series with Kensington Press. The book is read by veteran voice actor Christian Rummel.
Lawrence wrote most of the book in a secluded cabin at Byrdcliffe Arts Colony, in the woods of Ulster County. She writes, "My 'security' consisted of a feeble hook and eye lock that a five year old could pry off with a screwdriver. My Home Protection System was a fat, indolent tabby cat who was more interested in chasing chipmunks and coming home smelling of skunk than warning me of intruders."
She put in requests to the Woodstock Library for every book they had on serial killers, forensics, and other sordid topics. "This was during the Bush administration, so I'm surprised they didn't flag my library card - I kept expecting a Lincoln town car to pull into my driveway with two Men in Black wearing and ear pieces and Ray Bans. I imagined being whisked away by the FBI or the NSA to languish in an Egyptian prison, where I would finally give up the names of my "handlers" - Pia and her colleagues at the Woodstock Library, where they don't charge late fees, because, according to Pia, 'We tried it once, but it was too much trouble.'"
Silent Screams is now available through Audible Books. The sequel, Silent Victim, due out in December, will also be available on Audible shortly afterwards. Both books have also recently been sold to Piper Verlag in Germany.
You can listen to an excerpt of Silent Screams or purchase the recording at Audible's website.
