It’s exciting to hear The Musubi Murder brought to life. One of the things I love about Nicole’s production is her comedic timing. If all goes as planned, the audiobook will be ready for holiday giving.
The Musubi Murder audiobook now in production!
The audiobook of The Musubi Murder is now in production!
My original plan was to draw on our local theatrical talent (much of which is truly world-class!) to record the audiobook. However, I was not able to find a facility locally that would be available for the many hours of recording and production required.
So I put the project up on ACX and reached out to several local voiceover artists. All of the auditions that came in were quite good, and each artist brought something special to the reading.
In the end, I made an offer to Nicole Gose, and I’m thrilled to say that she has accepted and started production.
Molly Barda, The Musubi Murder’s narrator and main character, is a big-city girl from the mainland who finds herself living and working in rural Hawaii. Nicole portrayed Molly perfectly, capturing Molly’s fish-out-of-water situation with humility, humor, and a touch of snark. Nicole also accomplished the impressive feat of switching back and forth between mainland pronunciation and Hawaiian Creole/Pidgin, giving each character a distinctive and believable voice.
Nicole was born and raised in Hawaii and is now living on the West Coast. She is an accomplished voiceover artist, with a client list that includes Apple, Disney, and Dish Network. Nicole has voiced national and international commercial and radio spots, as well as political campaigns.
We are working toward an early December release so that the audiobook will be available for holiday gift giving. The Musubi Murder is the perfect gift for Hawaii expatriates, disillusioned academics, and anyone with a really long commute.

One serving of arugula has as much nitrite as 467 hot dogs. Interesting.

Review: The Musubi Murder
The Musubi Murder by Frankie Bow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
In my considered and entirely objective opinion, The Musubi Murder represents an accomplishment in the world of letters unmatched since the invention of the printing press.
Well, it was great fun to write, anyway.
The Musubi Murder is the first book in the Molly Barda series. You could call it a cozy mystery in that there is no explicit sex or violence, the main character is an amateur sleuth, and the setting is a small town. There are, however, no cats, recipes, or hobbies.
All characters in The Musubi Murder are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental, I swear.

This is a useful blank lined notebook. It is divided into sixteen chapters, suitable for a standard semester. It is also a valuable information literacy teaching tool (lesson: trust no one).
