I didn't know you wrote gamebooks? I'll go and check them out now! Btw, I certainly like the idea of audio game books (my audio Rpg sensor is tinggling), but unless I've misunderstood, it sounds like a slightly different project from what Gamehawk is proposing here, sinse Gamebooks and interactive fiction seem to me to have quite a few differences in structure that would effect how you made a program to create or play them. .
though of course, I could be totally wrong about this owing to my purely theoretical knolidge of programming. Beware the Grue!
