I like to cycle between chapters for the finishing touches, so each gets a few "fresh" listens as I edit. But you don't have to PL them all at once.

Well, that should keep me out of trouble!

Chapter 11 is PL Okay

Chapters 14 — 18 are PL Okay

Thanks, Jim, you're a trooper!

Just three for you this week!

Hoping to finish in the next week or two... and then start narrating and editing book 3!
Book 4 won't launch until after there's significant progress there - this one waited on me too long.

Three more exciting chapters are PL Okay

Two more for you today!

I hope to have the last two, including the voice credits, ready sometime this week.

Two more PL Okay

I see a rotund soprano standing in the wings getting ready to sing.

Yes, with a stage-hand prepping the microphone!

I've got one bit of narration to spruce up, if my voice holds up. The last two chapters are otherwise assembled, and have received at least one pass of tweaks.

Well, I've got a new cold (isn't it wonderful?), so fixing chapter 24 will have to wait a bit longer. In the meantime, here's chapter 25, which includes the voice credits:

Chapter 25 is PL Okay

Enough recovery made to fix the bits I needed of this chapter's narration! I know you've read this book yourself, but thanks for listening out of order.

That rotund and musical personage is ready to shine.

PL Okay!

Another successful adventure for those intrepid sons for Fenton Hardy and their chums! Stay tuned for the next exciting installment of The Hardy Boys!

Thank you, Jim, and thank you everyone, for lending your voices! I hope you all enjoy as much as I have.

I've cleaned up the Magic Window sections for finished chapters (all our names should be on chapter 1, with the rest blank), and the cast list is on this post:
viewtopic.php?p=2302230&sid=d1d9fb102ca022edab4a9c2be056e0e1#p2302230

Again for those wondering what's next, I'll be working on book 3 for the next while, and though I may launch book 4 before that completely finishes, you'll get a ballpark estimate here first:
viewtopic.php?t=101627&view=unread#unread
...which will get more precise as we get closer. I currently expect at least a month, probably more.

With permission, I've sent this one off to the catalog.

This project is now complete. Finished audio files can be found in our catalog:
