Hi Pat, I’m afraid the short answer is no.
The long answer is that Pyr have the book and audiobook rights for the Earth Girl trilogy in the USA, while HarperCollins UK have the book and audiobook rights elsewhere. This is why the USA generally gets the Pyr hardbacks of the trilogy, while elsewhere has the Harper Voyager paperbacks, and those were published on totally different schedules.
I know virtually nothing (in fact absolutely nothing) about the distribution of audiobooks, but I’m guessing that this is a HarperCollins audiobook of Earth Girl so it will only be in general distribution outside the USA. So far, Pyr have not made any audiobooks of the trilogy.
It’s worth mentioning that within the USA, the National Library Service (NLS) at the Library of Congress is a free braille and talking book library service for people with temporary or permanent low vision, blindness, or a physical disability that prevents them from reading or holding the printed page. Special rules apply to them, and they’ve made audiobooks of all three books in the Earth Girl trilogy, so people eligible for the NLS can listen to those.
My apologies that the distribution differences for the Earth Girl trilogy are confusing. The newer books are on the same publishing schedule worldwide.

I called Pyr this morning. Couldn’t guess which department to speak to, so just let it ring through to the operator. Very nice lady. She took my info and said she’d research and get back to me.

Will you be releasing audio books for Earth Star and Earth Flight? Or do you know if the publisher has plans for them?

I’m afraid I haven’t heard anything from the publisher about plans for audio books of Earth Star or Earth Flight.
