Tynedale author Kimberley Adams has released an audiobook version of her romantic comedy Love Lindisfarne, to mark the second anniversary of its publication.

The book, which has earned hundreds of five-star reviews, has been described by readers as a 'love letter to Northumberland' for its depiction of the county’s scenery and character.

Ms Adams said: "Readers enjoy the fictional story, but just as much they love the mention of the history and beauty of Northumberland, and why wouldn't they – we live in a very special place."

To bring the audiobook to life, Ms Adams was keen to find a narrator who could capture the spirit of the region with an authentic voice.

She said: "When I was researching narrators, it was important to me to have a genuine north-eastern voice who could do authentic accents, and so I was absolutely thrilled when top voice artist Colleen Prendergast agreed to read the book."

Ms Prendergast, who was born in Tynemouth, told Ms Adams that as she read on, she became more and more homesick.

Love Lindisfarne is now available in audiobook format on a range of online platforms.

The paperback edition remains on sale in bookshops and a range of independent businesses across Northumberland.
