Foreboding Foretelling Finally Found on Audible

Posted on by Standard Reply

Literally the day after I sent out a newsletter passive-aggressively whingeing about Audible’s delay in releasing Foreboding Foretelling at Ficklehouse Felling, Audible released Foreboding Foretelling at Ficklehouse Felling. It’s nice to know they’re listening.

FFaFF on, Audible

The no-news newsletter makes this newsworthy, but Anty Boisjoly’s seventh stumper has been on most platforms for weeks, for example…

…and there’s a good chance that it’s on your library app.

Foreboding Foretelling at Ficklehouse Felling is Anty’s twistiest mysteriest manor house mystery in history, and it has the largest cast of characters that Tim Bruce has heretofore given voice. Of course it’s another tour de force from Tim, helped only slightly by a cast list, a redacted version of which is in the September newsletter, already available for download in the archive.

While there, why not take the opportunity to subscribe to the newsletter — you’ll immediately get the current issue, which includes a cast list of the first Anty Boisjoly mystery, The Case of the Canterfell Codicil, soon followed by the much-anticipated Christmas edition, featuring two exclusive cartoons and a cover reveal.

New Newsletter Feature

Posted on by Standard Reply

The newsletter archive has another entry and the September number introduces a new feature.

The audiobook version of Foreboding Foretelling at Ficklehouse Felling has been released (almost everywhere — Audible, presumably, is still playing it backwards, listening for subversive messages) in which the action unfolds in a richly and eccentrically populated Cotswolds manor house, and yet Voice-of-Anty Tim Bruce manages to track and trace all the accents and attitudes.

This is because Tim is a professional — a professional who has an annotated text and a cast list provided by the author who, it is widely rumoured, tends to over-share. A clever reader suggested that listeners might appreciate having a similar leg-up, and that the cast list be made available to newsletter subscribers.

Which is the new feature that you’ll find now in the latest newsletter added to the archive. Subscribers know this already, and they’ll also be getting the November newsletter featuring a custom-written cast list of the first Anty Boisjoly, The Case of the Canterfell Codicil, along with new cartoons and exclusive announcements.
