Other text: 37 simple, fun activites to help kids. By Kelly Stork LCSWI’m honored to have narrated this workbook that released last month! THE GENDER IDENTITY WORKBOOK FOR KIDS by Kelly Stork LCSW allows children, their parents, families, and all others involved in a child’s development help guide children in fully exploring who they really are — inside and out.

From the Publisher:

Transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) children need validation and support on their journey toward self-discovery. Unfortunately, due to stigma and misinformation, these kids can be especially vulnerable to bullying, discrimination, and even mental health issues such as anxiety or depression. The good news is that there are steps you can take to empower your child as they explore, understand, and affirm their gender identity. This important workbook will guide you both.

In this guide, a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in gender-nonconforming youth offers real tools to help your child thrive in all aspects of life. You and your child will discover a more expansive way of understanding gender; gain insight into gender diverse thoughts, feelings, and experiences; and find engaging activities with fun titles such as “Apple, Oranges, and Fruit Bowls” and “Pronoun Town” to help your child to explore their own unique identity in a way that is age-appropriate and validating.

No child experiences gender in a vacuum, and children don’t just transition—families do. Let this workbook guide you and your child on this important journey in their lives.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

New Release: FOUR TRICKS

Yo, Marco:

Blow up my mother f-ing house, and I’m gonna strike back. No one gets to pull that kind of shit and live. Lucky for me, I got more tricks up my sleeve…seven of them, in fact.

Love, Dax

Oh yeah, FOUR TRICKS by Elizabeth Knight, the third book in the Hidden Empire series, is available for your listening pleasure. Thanks to Tantor Audio for making it happen.

From the Publisher:

I took some hard hits, but now it’s time to strike back.

Marco Tesoro wanted a fight, and a fight is what he’s gonna get. The guy just doesn’t know when to stop. First he sent hitmen after me. Now he blew up my mother f-ing house. No one gets to pull that kind of shit and live—a fact he’ll be finding out soon enough.

In the aftermath of his attacks, we’re struggling to recover, dealing with the FBI, and adjusting to having Cameron back in my life. But there’s no better time to remind the world who Two Tricks really is. At the top of my hit list are the Mad Dogs, a rival MC crew. They’re the movers and dealers for Marco’s drugs business. Let’s see how he feels when I cut off his arms and then realizes I’m just barely getting started.

My men are behind me one-hundred percent, even as they work through their own issues—including the new man no one saw coming. None of that will stop them from riding into war with me, though, because it will take all of us to topple this crime lord’s empire, one piece at a time.

Contains mature themes.

TWO TRICKS can be found wherever audiobooks are sold, including Libro.fm, Chirp, Apple Books, and Audible.

New Release: EDGE OF FEAR

A man with dark hair and a long salt and pepper beard; he wears a white t-shirt and black leather jacket and looks over his sunglasses with a "come hither" expression. A chrome and black motorcycle in the foreground; mountains in white mist and teal are in the background; text in white lettering: Edge of Fear, Freya BarkerRomance is in the air today ‘cuz the audiobook for Edge Of Fear (Arrow’s Edge MC Book 4) by Freya Barker just released.

Special thanks to Spectrum Audiobooks for trusting us to tell this story.

From the Publisher:

Ink and sawdust meets brisket and moxie

I’m a tattooed casualty.

A charmer, a fraud, a skeptic, and a carpenter.

My name is Tse.

I’m cocky enough to believe my own lies, but too oblivious to see the truth is already out there.

I’m a cautious perfectionist.

A sister, a scrapper, a dreamer, and a workhorse.

My name is Sophia.

I’m capable enough to plan ahead, yet too powerless to avoid getting blindsided.

We’re complete opposites—one who plays it safe, the other a thrill-seeker—but when old sins resurface, bringing violence to the present, our path forward becomes clear.

EDGE OF FEAR is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.

New Release: THREE TRICKS

audiobook cover with image of a pink-haired woman with multiple tatoos. The foreground shows a motorcycle. Text is in pink cursive "Three" with white block letters "Tricks". Full text: Three Tricks, Hidden Empire #2 by Elizabeth Knight, Read by Amy DeuchlerRemember when I said I wouldn’t ever work with MC gangs? Yeah, well. Joke’s on them ‘cuz I just pulled another trick out of my sleeve…

 

THREE TRICKS by Elizabeth Knight released to audio this week, narrated by yours truly, thanks to Tantor Audio.

 

From the Publisher:

Remember when I said Two Tricks doesn’t work with MC gangs? Well, I might have jumped the gun on that.

The leaders of the Phantom Saints MC kidnapped me in order to broker a deal with Tricks. Joke’s on them when they find out the truth. But that is the least of my worries right now after saving my best friend from getting taken by a rival MC.

Fun fact—turns out I’m now number one on everyone’s hit lists. Someone out there doesn’t like me, or the fact that I joined forces with the Phantom Saints. They are pulling out all the stops to make sure I don’t last the week breaking up this alliance. Too bad for them: I’m just not that easy to kill. F–k with my family and I’ll end your life, simple as that.

Problem is, with so many players on the field, I can’t figure out who is calling the shots. Looks like I’m gonna need to pull another trick out of my sleeve . . .

Contains mature themes.

Why did it take this long? No. No, you don’t get to ask why.

Tricks says you want anything, you play by the rules. You don’t like it? Well, then you’re gonna get a visit from me. In your ears.

From the Publisher:

Listen up, and listen good—I’ll only say this shit once!

Two Tricks does not work with MC gangs, and that’s final. Period. The end.

No. No, you don’t get to ask why.

Tricks runs the West Coast smuggling ring, so if you want anything to come and go, you play by the rules. You don’t like it? Well, then you’re gonna get a visit from me. Who am I? I’m Dax, his enforcer, and don’t let my height or the pink hair fool you. I’ll take your ass down. Now, can someone explain to me why the hell the Phantom Saints MC gang sent someone to try and talk me into getting Tricks to work with them? Or maybe how those same assholes ended up kidnapping me? You can bet your ass, as soon as I get the chance, I will make them regret ever having me as a “house guest,” even if they are sexy as sin. No one uses me and gets away with it!

Contains mature themes.

TWO TRICKS is available wherever audiobooks are sold, like Audible.

Special thanks to Grover Gardner at Blackstone Publishing for asking me to audition!

From the Publisher:

Since the start of the Trump era, the United States and the Western world has finally begun to wake up to the threat of online warfare and the attacks from Russia. The question no one seems to be able to answer is: What can the West do about it?

Central and Eastern European states, however, have been aware of the threat for years. Nina Jankowicz has advised these governments on the front lines of the information war. The lessons she learnt from that fight—and from her attempts to get US congress to act—make for essential listening.

How to Lose the Information War takes the listener on a journey through five Western governments’ responses to Russian information warfare tactics—all of which have failed. She journeys into the campaigns the Russian operatives run, and shows how we can better understand the motivations behind these attacks and how to beat them. Above all, this book shows what is at stake: the future of civil discourse and democracy, and the value of truth itself.

HOW TO LOSE THE INFORMATION WAR: Russia, Fake News, and the Future of Conflict is available at most places audiobooks are sold and distributed, including Amazon, Audible, Chirp, Libro.fm, and Overdrive.

Audiobook cover showing the face of a compass, with the dial highlighted in red pointing north. Text reads: Magnetic North by Marie BassetteIt’s here! MAGNETIC NORTH by Marie Bassette is now available on audio! I loved narrating Aria Finch and her adventure searching for clues about the mystery surrounding the intriguing North Acquati.

Thanks to Tantor Audio for asking me to tell this story!

 

From the Publisher:

Tech-talk is something Aria Finch is fluent in. But when it comes to romance and run-of-the-mill human interaction, she feels like she barely speaks a word of that language. No matter; she has everything she needs. Good career? Check. Sweet boyfriend? Check. Spoiled cat? Double check.

But then there’s the enigma of Finch’s boss, North Acquati, who makes her feel like throwing everything she’s built right out the window. North is determined, successful, and gorgeous, which wouldn’t be a problem if Finch hadn’t gotten herself wined, dined, and gifted a mysterious box that could get her killed.

Finch’s confusing feelings for North and the sudden danger she finds herself in only intensify as she’s tangled deeper into the web of North’s latest secret project. But is their chemistry genuine? Or is it nothing more than an elaborate manipulation with potentially devastating consequences?

Contains mature themes.

 

MAGNETIC NORTH is available on Amazon, Audible and wherever audiobooks are sold.
