Richard has been interviewed by Naxos Audiobooks regarding his recording of Venetia by Georgette Heyer. The 11 minute audio clip consists of an interview followed by an excerpt from the audio book.

You can listen and download the mp3 audio interview on the Naxos Venetia page.

The interview reveals many interesting things including… (perhaps you would like to listen first before I reveal too much):

  • How long he has been working on audio books
  • Listening to radio plays as a child
  • Challenge of creating a world, characters, where the voices might come from
  • What he thinks of Georgette Heyer and her writing, the comedy in the writing
  • What he reads, how his reading is affected by his job and the authors he prefers to read
  • Strike Back – there is the possibility for another series
  • He still hopes to create the Richard III drama, and it’s picking up interest now.

Brilliant news I’m sure you’ll agree.
