Dwellers/Country Saga lands Audiobook Deal!

I've got some awesome news for all you audiobook lovers out there:

I've just signed an audio publishing deal with the incredible Podium Publishing, who were recently nominated for FIVE Audie Awards! Podium will be producing audiobooks for ALL 7 books in the Dwellers/Country Saga.

AND they've already announced who the narrator for Adele will be: the amazing Julia Whelan, recently named Audible's Narrator of the Year, and narrator for bestseller Gone Girl and Podium's Audie-nominated Until the End of the World! For those YA dystopian lovers out there, you might also recognize her from Partials by Dan Wells.

Thank you to everyone who contacted me to ask when the Dwellers/Country Saga would be produced as an audio series, all your positive energy and wishes most definitely helped lead us to this amazing opportunity!

More to come soon :)

A Great Moment

Since I started my journey as a writer more than four years ago, I've had some amazing moments. They've encompassed a plethora of emotions, from joy to sadness to frustration to celebration, and everything in between. However, without a doubt, one of the greatest moments of my career so far was an experience I had yesterday.

I had the absolute pleasure of Skyping with a 3rd grade class in South Dakota. The entire event was set up by a teacher, Sue Ann Clanton, who cares so deeply about her students that she goes above and beyond the call of duty to give them memorable experiences, like getting the chance to chat with an author whose books they've been reading. The eight AMAZING students in Ms. Clanton's class were smart, funny and oh so clever. I am honored to have met them and to have them as fans of my children's series The Adventures of Nikki Powergloves!

So thank you to Sue Ann Clanton, Braden, Sydnee, Sheridan, Rhett, Clancy, Claire, Slate, and Riggs! And congrats to Sydnee for winning a signed copy of Nikki Powergloves- A Hero is Born!

(If you're a teacher, librarian, or book club moderator who's interested in hosting an event such as the one described above, please contact me at davidestesbooks(at)gmail(dot)com.)

When Rhett Carter finally manages to communicate with his cursed father, he wants nothing more than to discover a way to save him. The only problem: The closer he gets to Martin Carter, the faster he'll die. To help, Laney secretly seeks out Rhett's father, embarking on a dangerous mission. Unbeknownst to her, she's followed by Bil Nez, Hex, and Grogg. Separated from Rhett, their lives sit on a knife's edge.

Meanwhile, with bloodthirsty packs of Shifters prowling around New Washington, the only hope for survival is Rhett's ability to unite the humans and magic-born. A tenuous alliance is formed: the Reaper and his Necros; the Clairvoyants; Floss and her witch hunters; and the humans. But will it be enough to defeat their enemies and restore order to a world in chaos? And will Rhett and Laney ever have the chance for a normal life, a life they both desperately want?

Or will the world BURN?
