There's exciting news from Oakhill Audio Books this quarter. As of April our monthly output of outstanding unabridged audio books is increasing to nine titles a month. This allows us to offer libraries an even greater range of our already excellent selection of audio books. At the same time we shall cease to produce cassettes, confining our output to the popular CD format, although be reassured, our lifetime replacement service will continue as before. Below are just a few of our upcoming titles, chosen to whet your appetite.

An American author who is a relative newcomer to UK readers is Chad Harbach. Hailed by The Guardian as ' pretty much irresistible', his oddly touching novel, The Art of Fielding, unravels the lives of a group of people involved in the world of baseball. A far more familiar name is that of Tony Parsons, who has become known for his novels about the pressures of modern-day living. In Catching the Sun he tells the story of a family who escape to a sunshine paradise only to find it shattered. Lovers of modern-day crime will be eager to hear Stuart MacBride's Birthdays for the Dead, a gritty tale of a criminal who kidnaps young girls on the eve of their 13th birthday and each year sends their families distressing photos of their torture – not for the faint-hearted.

Children have got a real treat in store, with Louise Rennison's follow up to the laugh-out-loud Withering Tights: A Midsummer Tights Dream. Set in a performing arts college, like its predecessor, it follows the fortunes of teenager Tallulah Casey and her "bonkers mates" , and there's plenty of boys, snogging and bad acting along the way!
