The Scars
Today William Tennant begins releasing his novel, The Scars, as a serialized free audiobook:
Peter Everett is a main stained with grief, his life becomes a struggle of decisions as he watches the lives of the people around him disolve and burn.
Mags Donne is a damaged, bruised young girl, reaching out into the darkness, trying to take control of her life.
Their Scars are what begin to unite them, with the people that surround them.
The Scars is a novel of difficulty, hatred, love, intrigue, kidnap, wrongdoing, abuse, laughter and beauty.
William is starting with the first five episodes in the default feed and is planning a weekly release schedule. Or you could say “so what” and just get a customized feed. That way, you get what you want when you want it.

You have a really beautiful voice.
If this is your first podiobook, then you most certainly have the “showman” gene.
But I have wondered for awhile about how a more introspective inner conflict story would translate to audio… as opposed to a slam dunk action /scfi/horror/fantasy/ thriller.
I’m not sure, but I guess I will wait and see how it goes.
I think it is a much harder thing to do .

wow, thanks for the compliment.
and in the episodes to come, it only gets more intense.
This story is ALL about the inner conflict!
I hope you enjoy the rest of the story.

I *loved* this book! THe characters were *so* well fleshed-out that they stay in my mind even now, that I’m finished the book. The plot was so excellent, that it quickly became my favourite podiobook and the fiest one I’d listen to everyday. I had to know what happened next! The ending was sad, but appropriate for the characters. I hope to see more from you soon!

An engaging read! Complex and mildly disturbing. The characters slow slip out of the mainstream lend credibility to what would seem like unlikely reactions and circumstances. I enjoyed that you refrained from deconstructing every action and reaction, leaving the reader things to ponder. Thanks for presenting your work in this format.

I absolutly loved the story and you have a most beautiful reading voice. Please write another as you obviously have a talent but failing that you must do more audio readings as you definately have the voice for it. Well done on both writing and oratory production. I listened to dave gorman today and learned that you told no one you had written ‘Scars’. It is something to be proud of so go out and boast of it, you have earned it.

For anyone interested, the next one is written and being recorded at the moment.
The editing bit is a long process, but I hope to have the first few episodes out in the next few months!
Thanks for the compliment!

Only listened to the first three podcasts so far and I can relate to the story more than some of the fantasy books I have listened to from Podio books. I suppose that I used to be a teacher and that it is from a British writer makes it more accessible to me.
I am really keen to know what happens to main character Peter. William Tennant has given him a good three dimensional quality that breathes live into the story.
Love what I have heard so far. I have the rest down loaded already.

I’m 5 episodes into the story but it just hasn’t caught my interest. The audio effects are very annoying. The regular narration is fine and well done, but the two other effects are quite grating. One sounds like the reader is standing in a big tunnel, the other quite tinny like the reader is using an old, long distance phone line. If the story were more compelling, I could overlook these annoying effects, but I’m about ready to give up on this story.
