A child’s curiosity knows no bounds. Even those who seem bored and distracted have the energy within them to participate in the world if only we arouse their interest.
Today we look at the opportunities presented by Unpublished Children’s Books – children’s stories not yet published in an eBook or a print format, and ways to enrich the stories with a soundscape.
We explore the benefits of producing your children’s stories in audio format vs. print format, the perks of getting published or producing your book with Independent Publishing, the fun, inspiring and educational aspects that unfold with audio stories, and an appeal to your ingenuity to embark on this fascinating journey of discovery by allowing your imagination to run free and practice your original storylines and characters on the kids in your life with tales specifically designed for telling rather than reading – a fun, rewarding experience that can open you up to new possibilities and opportunities as an author of children’s stories.
Sound effects and verbal descriptions of the environment and of action encourage children to use their resourcefulness and versatility to conceptualize, stimulating them to continue learning for life. We are introduced to the fascinating world of foley sound – creating a sound for an action when the actual sound does not translate accurately on its own.
And much more!

In this episode of Audiobook Connection, host Becky Parker Geist sits down with author Rory Surtain to explore the creative journey behind his urban fantasy novel Saintsville and its immersive full-cast audiobook production.
Rory shares how he made a bold career shift from decades in high tech to becoming a full-time novelist, writing across paranormal fantasy, science fantasy, and dystopian worlds. He talks candidly about finding his writing voice, developing story themes organically, and why emotional truth—not just world-building—is the thread that holds a story together.
The conversation dives deep into Rory’s writing process, including writing “by the seat of his pants,” rediscovering story momentum through revision, and letting inspiration strike when it’s least expected. Rory also unpacks the central themes of Saintsville, including identity, trauma, healing, and found family, all woven seamlessly into a dark yet deeply human urban fantasy set in a magical version of New Orleans.
