Let me take you on a wild ride through the making of an audiobook, but not just any audiobook—my audiobook, “Mrs. Franchy’s Evil Ring.” It’s a tale of how a nugget of an idea blossomed into a story that speaks (quite literally) to its audience.

Back to Where It All Began

Picture this: Little Joa stepping out of JFK airport and into a whole new world filled with tall buildings, yellow cabs, and an unknown language. Fear and excitement swerve in my belly as I get to meet my stepmom which I didn’t know before but now would have to live with. Those early days were tough, like being thrown into the deep end and having to thread water. But hey, those days gave me the grit and grace that would eventually fuel the story of “Mrs. Franchy’s Evil Ring.”

From Roots to Fruits

Fast forward a bit, and life decided to throw me another curveball—becoming a stepmom. Talk about life imitating art, or is it the other way around? It was all about navigating the choppy waters of a new family dynamic, which, let me tell you, had its share of storms and rainbows. This whole rollercoaster is what breathed life into a story about a Dominican family finding their way through the thicket of their differences, with their home almost chiming in with its own two cents.

The Audiobook Magic

And then, the big moment—transforming all those words I published in January 2023, all those emotions, into something you can plug into your ears. “Mrs. Franchy’s Evil Ring” finally found its voice through the incredible Cindy Price. It was a journey fraught with anticipation and the kind of suspense that makes you bite your nails, but oh, so worth it. Cindy didn’t just read the story; she gave it a heartbeat that pulses through your speakers.

Why It Matters

This adventure, from a scribble of ideas to a story you can listen to on a slow afternoon, is a testament to the evolving art of storytelling. It’s proof that our experiences, our trials, and our triumphs can morph into narratives that resonate with others across any medium. With “Mrs. Franchy’s Evil Ring” hitting the virtual shelves, I’m beyond excited to see how it will dance into your hearts and minds.
