Inside Magic.exe with author Danny Williams and narrator Andrew Read

I recently narrated Magic.exe, written by Danny Williams, and in this conversation we sat down to talk about how the book came together, where the idea came from, Danny’s journey into writing, self-publishing, neurodiversity, and what it was like hearing the audiobook for the first time.

If you enjoy funny, thoughtful fantasy with a technology twist, this one may be for you.
