I'm glad you enjoyed it. Indeed, Mark Long is UK based author and trust me, dialects are not my strong suit. And in the voice-over world, there's a rule of thumb: If you can't fool natives with your accent, then don't do it. If you liked this book, we did a sequel at http://podiobooks.com/title/more-sonic-fiction/. Give it a listen! Hey Nick, thanks for listening to our book. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

The quality of the stories, not surprisingly, does vary. There are a few very strong stories, but even the weaker ones, which tend to rather simplistic feel-good vignettes for which you wait for the nasty twist, but there isn't one - even these have somed egree of attraction and interest. I'd rate the stories on a range from 3 to 5. The only disconcerting thing about it all is that some at least of the stories are based in England, which clashes with the narrator's American accent. At least he doesn't try to put on an English accent, which would be far worse. This collection of short stories is very well read. The quality of the stories, not surprisingly, does vary.

I was blown over. Excellent collection of short stories, although I have to mention that I have never read any of the authors work before. They are all unknown to me. But they are damn good.

We're glad you enjoyed the stories. Bill and several of the other authors will be returning in Sonic Fiction 2 (or "More Sonic Fiction" depending on what I choose the name to be) this summer. He's committed to one story, but maybe we can encourage him to give more! Hey John,

And Bill, your story is absolutely my favorite story. I was enjoying the 10mins stories, so when I saw your 38mins I was a little bit reluctant. But when I started it I couldn't stop! And the end! Great great little story. I hope you will have more stories for us to enjoy in the future. This is a great anthology of short stories, perfect for trying out Podiobooks.
