Audio publisher by day, author by night. Such has been the schedule of Alfred C. Martino, president of Listen & Live Audio for the past couple of years. But this spring, his creative double life finally dovetails. Martino's first book, a novel for young adults entitled Pinned, is being published by Harcourt in March. Listen & Live will simultaneously release the audio edition, narrated by Mark Shanahan.
