Lost Hearts Audiobook

Lost Hearts is already available in print and electronic formats and will soon be published as an audio book available at vincentpanella.com. This use of digital technology is a next step in the process of trying to reach a wider audience for my work. The audio project is the brainchild of Reginald Martell, who transformed my writing room into a recording studio with the simple addition of a super sensitive microphone and some sound editing equipment. You can listen my reading of all 23 stories on your computer or any digital media device.

He was an avid reader. “A lot of books inspired my writing,” Panella says. “I read a lot of pulp fiction and Westerns. I first started writing when I was 19, an engineering student in college, and I found I didn’t like [engineering.] I wrote my first novel when I was in the Army at 23. It was all about teenage frustrations. It was so bad that I burned it up.” ...read more.
