December 16, 1927 in Brooklyn, New York) is a world renowned American
novelist and playwright with books translated into more than

What is an Audio Book?
It is a book that has been read aloud by a narrator and recorded.

Audio books are priced around 45% higher than their printed book counterpart, making them excellent generators of revenue.
