Abraham Lincoln
Here in the United States Presidents' Day is this upcoming Monday. Though it appears there is a inordinate focus on Car Sales the spirit of the holiday is to celebrate our presidents. The holiday was originally only supposed to be for celebrating George Washington's Birthday but enough states decided to lump all of the other presidents in there that most people think of it as a holiday honoring all American Presidents.
The most memorable presidents seem to be those that were truly tested but the events and circumstances of their time. One of my favorites is Abraham Lincoln who not only miraculously kept the United State together but also freed slaves with his Emancipation Proclamation. Since this is also African American History Month Lincoln's life takes on that special significance to the African American community.
As part of our celebrating African American History month we have put up a dedicated page on Martin Luther King audio books that we have in our collection as well as other titles like the autobiography of Frederick Douglas. Another favorite of mine is Nelson Mandela whose autobiography is narrated by Danny Glover of Lethal Weapon fame. This section does not include all of our African American authors so please use the search feature on the CreateTimeAudio online audio book store to search for specific authors or titles.
We also added a page on our collection of interesting title on or by American presidents. Not only does the list include older presidents like Lincoln and Kennedy but modern ones like Obama, Reagan, Bush and Clinton. Each link leads to the collection of what we have for each of the presidents on audio. As time continues to pass we will have the distinct privilege of listening to many presidents narrate their own life stories. Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan actually are the narrators on their autobiographies…

Valentine's Day is almost here and of course it brings to mind love and romance. Sometimes we have a true romantic in our lives and sometimes we don't. Romance audio books have long been a way of enjoying the fantasy of romance to the extreme.
Not only do we have a big collection of the romance authors you love on audio I was also able to find an interesting series of Romantic Valentines Poems in our collection as well. It is part of a full series of poems that can be bought together or individually under the Dozen Red Roses Series of poems.
Most fans of Romance books whether in print or on audio have been fans for a long time. I remember reading my first Harlequin Novel in my teens and getting hooked. Another favorite in my youth was Danielle Steel who balanced stories of romance with strong female characters. Even before then I became a fan of Jane Austen, whose classic books are still enjoyed to this day.
Even if you are lucky enough to have a romantic partner in your life I have made it a point to enjoy the romance audio books from our most popular Romance authors. Here are direct links to some of our favorite Romance Audio Book Authors:
Nora Roberts Many of her books are considered Thrillers too.
Another series of books that is popular for the romantic angles they usually contain are our Vampire Audio Book collection.
This month you can use the coupon code romance at checkout to receive a 20% discount on your order.
Wishing you a Romantic Valentine's Day!

Tips for Getting a Job
January almost got away from us but we have finally updated our audio book specials page. The titles on special this month focus on health, diet and job hunting skills. At the beginning of the year many of us take on new goals in these areas and the titles on special this month are best sellers in the space.
The YOU Series of books by Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen offer many practical tips for Staying Young and Dieting in healthy ways. Jorge Cruise's classic 3-Hour Diet focuses on resetting your metabolism for easier weight loss. SuperFoods HealthStyle has been featured in the past and identifies superfoods that will improve your health.
Though health and weight loss are important goals to have we have highlighted the Get Your Dream Job! audio book because nowadays the job market has become very competitive. Whether you are in the fortunate position to have a job and looking for your next job or whether you are on the bench competing with others for a good job this audiobook will provide you with tips to improve your job hunting and career success skills.
Since we know many of us don't always hit the new year full steam we will continue to highlight and offer specials in the typical areas of New Year's resolutions through March. I know that is usually when I hit my stride 
We have decided to extend the special offers titles from January into February so you will be able to get the above titles at a discount through the end of February…

Yes, the Christmas Holiday Season is upon us and we are happy to be able to offer our annual Christmas Audio Book discount code. We have put together our latest list of Christmas Audiobooks available at CreateTimeAudio.com and you can save 20% off one of your orders if you use the coupon code xmasrocks upon checkout.
Whether you celebrate Christmas or not the Holiday Season tends to symbolize the best in all of us. The books in this area convey feel good and meaningful stories that can be great inspirations to all of us. Of course we offer a variety of versions of the Christmas Carol on Audio but this year we are highlighting many of Debbie Macomber's Christmas audio books which are interestingly in the Romance Audio Books category. As an author she openly discusses her love of Christmas and has written many books with the Christmas Season in the backdrop.
As part of this post we would also like to notify you of updates in 2 areas related to December. Our December Audio Books Discount page has been updated and this year we have jumped to our New Year's Self Help focus a little early. Many of us don't start thinking about our goals for next year until after Christmas. I know I have been guilty of that in the past. This tends to put us behind the curve on getting the start that we want for the new year. The audio book specials we have chosen this month include Goal Setting and Life's Greatest Lessons with the rest focused on similar topics. I for one want to get a jump start on 2011, especially since I have a bit of a milestone birthday coming up. You can save even more on these audio books if you include them if you use the xmasrocks coupon code.
The second update is the addition of a Gift Ideas page that highlights our previous posts about gifts for audio book lovers. We also hope to add more ideas as time allows. The audio book industry is changing so we hope to provide updated ideas on how to make the most of the audio book collections you already have and the different offerings that may eventually be tied in with ebooks.
We at CreateTimeAudio.com wish all of you a wonderful Holiday Season and a Great 2011!

November is here and we have updated our audio book discounts page. This month we have Truman by David McCullough at a discounted price of only $12.30. I have chosen to highlight this particular book again because November is Family Stories Month. Biographies in my mind are professionally written family stories. Many families in the United States get together in the month of November to celebrate Thanksgiving so it seems appropriate that this month would be dedicated to family stories since so many are exchanged during the Thanksgiving Holiday.
In honor of Family Stories Month we have made a discount code of 20% available to those who purchase audio books through the CreateTimeAudio.com audio book store. Simply enter the coupon code family at checkout and you will get %20 off your order. Keep in mind this is for one single order so if you plan to buy more books this month it would make sense to buy them all in one order.
Though we also promised to update you on our Halloween audio books in October we did not get the chance so we will be updating you on the Vampire Audio Books collection that is part of it soon since those books are so popular year round.
Another area of note this month is our discounts on 2 audio books by William Shakespeare. As You Like It and Cymbeline can be purchased for $10.99 and $9.22 respectively. Shakespeare can be challenging to read particularly if you are reading it in high school. I will admit to buying some Cliff Notes on occasion to help me decipher the meaning but I did actually read the books too. The reality is that Shakespeare is meant to be read aloud so audio books make it easier to understand in my opinion. We have many Shakespeare audio book performances available on our site. Many are performed by BBC Radio.
