A Cup of Jo by Sandra Balzo

My latest audiobook is book 6 in the Maggy Thorsen coffeehouse mystery series by Sandra Balzo, A Cup of Jo.

Maggy’s heart, uncharacteristically, is swelling with optimism. Sure, her original Wisconsin coffeehouse, Uncommon Grounds, was destroyed in a freak early May blizzard. But, thanks to friend and new business partner, Sarah Kingston, a perfect location for its successor has been found in a quaint Brookhills railroad station recently revitalized by the creation of a commuter-rail connection between the old depot and the city of Milwaukee, fifteen miles east.

    Last year, we remixed your LibriVox upload of Guadete uploading the remix to http://ccmixter.org/files/texasradiofish/40131

    This year, we donated the remix to ArtisTech to be included on their holiday CD entitled Season of Gratitude (http://tunetrack.net/ccmixter/releases/season-of-gratitude/lyrics/27551-gaudete/)

    The folks at ArtisTech sent all of the artists hard copies of the CD. If you would like your copy, send me me an email.

    You have a great voice.
    Thanks for sharing.
    We hope to remix more of your a capella works.

    Best regards,

    Just wanted to leave a comment to say that you are by far my favorite LibriVox reader! I first heard you in Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park. Thank you for your efforts on LibriVox!
