Been on the phone with acx about many things - very helpful guy. GEE is weird because Diana isn't on the site as a narrator - I've told her she may want to do that, as it makes everything easier, the specs are right at her fingertips, she uploads all the files and it's done. If she doesn't, then we remove the book and start over and I do all that myself - I'm sure it's easy. She'd get me all the files and I'd upload them. She'd still have to look at the specs page and figure all that out. But the interesting thing with GEE is that they want separate files for each chapter - that's easy for every book I've written EXCEPT this book, which only has two chapters, one per part. So, we have to break those into increments now - so perhaps five or six increments of about twenty pages per increment and then the narrator begins each increment with Chapter One, A, Chapter One B, etc. And it actually may have to be Part One, Chapter One A, B, C, D, E, F. We'll figure all that out.
The other book is much easier as there are twenty-one chapters and each chapter gets its own file. And I've hired that gal, too. And she's reading it now and in a week will do the first fifteen or twenty pages first, I'll hear, give notes and on we'll go. I'm also going to give her an mp3 of me reading Patrick Bronstein so she can hear the rhythm of him and what I hear as his voice. That will help her. I think she'll "get" all the other characters.
