You wrote this professionally produced audiobook. That's right. No author is mentioned in the recording. The audiobook is called: "M A G I C - A T R A N S F O R M A T I V E A R T"
The file you will download is 23.9 MB. I keep it on my phone so it's easy to immediately send to potential customers. The audiobook is 12 minutes long, and narrated by a female voice, we felt it sounded better that way, more pleasing to the ear.
So what's the point?
Learn about mix and mingle magic the easy way.
This 55-minute audiobook is perfect for listening to in the car or while jogging or at the gym.
