Beside an Open Window: Listen to the first chapter

There's a little under two days to go before the free offer for the Kindle version of Beside an Open Window runs out.  If you haven't yet got yourself a copy, go to this page for links to the book in your local Amazon.

In the meantime, I've had a go at recording a reading of the first chapter and uploaded it to Soundcloud.  It's not the studio quality I'd hoped for from my Samson C1OU condeser microphone (if anyone has any tips on how to improve it, I'd be glad to hear them) but hopefully it should be enjoyable to the people who, over the years in Second Life, have told me they like the sound of my voice!
