Homeland audiobook behind the scenes: Wil Wheaton explains his cameo to the director

The Humble Ebook Bundle is going great guns, with a collection of recent and classic books from both indie and major publishers, all DRM-free, on a name-your-price basis. Included in the bundle is an exclusive audio adaptation of my novel Homeland, read by Wil Wheaton, who also appears as a character in the novel.

When Wil got to the part where the protagonist, Marcus, meets “him” in the story, he kind of lost it, cracking up as he read Marcus’s breathless (and thoroughly deserved!) praise of Wil.

Here’s audio (MP3) of Wil explaining the context of the scene to Gabrielle de Cuir, the director who worked with Wil on his reading.

Listening to the raw daily studio sessions in February was a great treat, and I hope these outtakes give you a sense of some of that behind-the-scene action.

You’ve got 12 more days to score the Humble Ebook Bundle, which includes Steven Gould’s Jumper, Holly Black’s Tithe, Scott Westerfeld’s Uglies, Wil Wheaton’s The Happiest Days of Our Lives, and the audio adaptation of Homeland, read by Wil!
