Join the Kickstarter Campaign for the audiobook of Jules Cassidy, P.I.
Now through April 1, 2026
100% AI-free audiobook edition (Audiobook narrators with souls are worth the price!!)
Estimated run-time: 16 hours
(Whoa, that’s a REALLY long audiobook!!)
Narrated by Troubleshooters fan-favorite, Patrick Lawlor (if the planets align, and it's looking likely they will!)
Troubleshooters Series book #20, a mystery-dramady with romantic elements, featuring former FBI agent Jules Cassidy and former Navy SEAL Sam Starrett
Read the book's blurb at my website: https://suzannebrockmann.com/books/troubleshooters/julescassidypi/
(But then come right back!)
Yup, I’m holding another Kickstarter, this time for the audio edition of Jules…
Which has a significantly higher break-even budget than the ebooks and print books had—which means that the answer to the question “Will there be an audiobook edition of Jules Cassidy, P.I.?” is currently still only a “Maybe.”
(You can read more about the project’s budget over at the Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/suzannebrockmann/audiobook-jules-cassidy-pi )
The way Kickstarter crowd-funding campaigns like this one works is pretty simple. If the fundraising goal is met by the campaign’s end date (8 pm ET on Wednesday, April 1st), then, yay!
The audiobook will be recorded by (hopefully) longtime voice of the Troubleshooters series, Patrick Lawlor, then a sound engineer will prep the files and put them into the magical audiobook format, and—if you back the project—your audiobook copy of JULES will appear in your BookFunnel library, for you to download and/or listen to on the BookFunnel app. (Estimated delivery date of the audiobook is… sometime this summer…?) (Also, if we meet the fundraising goal, you’ll receive all of your other cool exclusive-to-Kickstarter “rewards,” only available via this campaign!)
If we don’t meet the funding goal, then no, no, nope, and no. None of those things will happen.
The good news is that even though the Kickstarter only launched 24 hours ago, we’re already 89% funded, with 27 more days to go. (I think we’ll get there! At least I hope so!)
With this Kickstarter, there are only a handful of main rewards to choose from:
The JULES CASSIDY, P.I. Audiobook Download
Audiobook plus Beta-Read of Suz's Next JULES Book (limit of 12)
Audiobook plus Ebook ARC of Suz's Next JULES Book (limit of 20)
Audiobook plus Name a Character in Suz's Next JULES Book (limit of one each of eight one-of-a-kind characters, also includes a choice of either the Beta-Read or the Ebook ARC) (SOLD OUT!!)
There's also a super low $2 "Buy Suz a Cup of Decaf" reward for people who want to support the campaign without getting an audio download. (Those backers can take advantage of the low-priced self-pubbed backlist ebooks and other add-on rewards, which brings us to...)
Each of the above also has a long list of unique rewards to add-on to your audiobook to help support this Kickstarter, including:
A "Friend of Jules" acknowledgment in the end credits. Hear your name read by narrator Patrick Lawlor at the end of the audiobook.
Zoom Q&A with Patrick Lawlor and Suz: Saturday, June 13th, 2 PM ET (limit 90)
Zoom Q&A with Suz: Saturday, April 11th, 2 PM ET (limit 90)
Zoom Q&A with Suz: Sunday, May 17th, 2 PM ET (limit 90)
Give a friend an audiobook download of JULES
Give a friend a "Friend of Jules" acknowledgment in the end credits.
Give a friend your choice of three of Suz's self-pubbed backlist ebooks
Last but not least, I'm tossing my entire self-pubbed ebook backlist up here again as super-low-priced $3 add-ons, because who loves ya, baby? (Also, every time you get an ebook from Not-Amazon, an angel gets their wings!!)
So be sure to scroll down the long, long list of add-ons after you select your audiobook reward!!

Thank you for your time, your attention, and your ongoing support! Fingers crossed we can make this happen!
P.S. Please feel free to help spread the word about the Jules-in-Audio Kickstarter to your book-friends and book-families! (Thank you!)
Reminder: March 7 is Stand-Up for Science Day, and March 28th is No Kings III! (See you in the streets!)
Wishing you peace, light, and joyful inspiration during these dark, uncertain times—with the hope that there’ll be much to be grateful for in the coming days of community, activism, and resistance, brought about by our deep love of freedom and democracy.
Love,
Suz
