New Release: THE SHIFT

amy@amydeuchler.comAudiobooks
You guys! I am so excited to announce THE SHIFT by Gary Foster, CSO of Weight Watchers, is now available!

 

I’m so grateful to Guy Oldfield at Macmillan Audio for asking me to tell the success stories of multiple women throughout the book. Weight loss and weight maintenance is HARD (believe me, I know this), and hearing how one little thing – mindset – changed that for these women is really inspiring!

 

Thank you also to Gary Foster for writing about using mindset first to meet your goals instead of the prescription of “eat this, not that.” *This* I can get on board with.

And lastly, I can now say I have narrated a book with the amazing Gary Bennett and Joel Richards!

From the Publisher:

This program includes an introduction read by the author.

Gary Foster’s The Shift is not about what to eat or not eat. It’s not about when to eat. It’s about building thinking habits, proven through science, that help you lose weight.

Can you lose weight before you value your body? Are big goals needed to achieve big results? Do you deserve to go it alone because you got yourself into this? Is it possible for a weight-loss journey to avoid setbacks? Must gratitude and happiness wait until you’ve succeeded at your wellness goal?

No. To all of it.

Dr. Foster’s seven mindset shifts show you how – and why – to treat yourself in a way that feels better and primes you for likelier success. His argument and the techniques in each chapter, built on years of research and breakthroughs in cognitive behavioral therapy and positive psychology, can lead to results on the scale – but, more important, in your own thinking. The Shift flips old-fashioned weight-loss theory on its head, training you to recognize when your thinking is taking you away from your goals, to focus on action rather than outcome, and to value non-scale victories more than the number on the digital display. It’s evidence-based motivation – and it really works!

The seven mindset shifts include learning to enhance the traits you like best about yourself, leaning into your strengths, appreciating the power of small steps (and more frequent reward), finding your people, and truly relaxing into happiness and gratitude.

“Diet thinking” isn’t habit-forming; mindset thinking is. And muscular yet kind mental habits, like the ones found in The Shift, are key to permanent, positive change.

 

You can listen to the audiobook of THE SHIFT on Audible, or pretty much anywhere audiobooks are sold.

Michigan’s Manistee National Forest.
Missing girls.
The supernatural.

 

Whoo-ee, I am glad I narrated this one during the daylight hours. There *may* be just a few parallels in my own life with this one. . .

 

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Inspired by an eerie true story.

Lorraine Hicks is 14 years old when she watches her best friend, Beverly, climb into a tree in the forest and never come back down. It’s a mystery that haunts her small town and embeds itself in Lorraine’s life.

Fifteen years later, Lori is a grown woman, doing her best to move on from her troubled childhood. She reluctantly agrees to a night of camping, despite her secret terror of the woods. As she sits by a roaring bonfire, a man stands and tells the story of two 14-year-old friends who walked into the Manistee National Forest – only one of them walked back out.

The story is hauntingly similar to Lori’s own, and she embarks on a quest to discover if the two disappearances are linked.

As she unravels the truth behind the vanishings, she unearths a malevolence that forces her to question if evil truly exists.

Don’t miss this chilling paranormal murder mystery.

New Release: HOUSE BOUND

amy@amydeuchler.comAudiobooks

Long time romance readers (especially Harlequin. . . ), this one is for you.

The audiobook for Anne Stuart’s HOUSE BOUND, updated from its original publication, and part of the Bad Boys series, is now available, narrated by me!

From the Publisher:

Anne Kirkland is in love…with a home. The 200-year-old stone mansion has been in her family for generations and nothing is more important to her. A renaissance woman, who doesn’t realize how gifted she is, Anne has poured her blood, sweat and tears, along with every penny she has, into restoring the house that she owns along with her father and siblings. But the ravages of time and nature have taken a toll, and despite her best efforts, Anne is losing the war.

Noah Grant comes to the Kirkland house under false pretenses. Pretending to be one of Anne’s sister’s flings, Noah has really come to check out the house for his former father-in-law. Noah represents a group of interested buyers. With the rest of Anne’s family on board, the sale of the house is imminent, and only Anne’s stubborn determination is standing in the way.

Anne and Noah are instantly drawn to each other, despite the obstacles standing in their way, but can Anne ever forgive him once she learns the truth?

Editor’s Note:

Home is Where the Heart Is…

A recurring theme in Anne Stuart’s work is the importance of home–the true home, the one the hero only reveals when he trusts the heroine enough. In House Bound, the importance of home is the crux of the plot, pitting a woman who cares about her familial home against a man representing potential buyers. Toss in family conflict, subterfuge, and the hero’s gradual unraveling and you’ve got a classic Anne Stuart novel.

 

The audiobook for HOUSE BOUND is available on Scribd.

FINDING ALEX, the new romantic suspense from Helen Starbuck is now on audio. This is a kidnapping thriller narrated by an all star cast that I’m overjoyed to be a part of.

From the Publisher:

Not Knowing Can Be Lethal

Assaulted, left for dead, and amnesic, the woman who thinks her name is Alex, may be the only surviving victim of a killer who’s targeting prostitutes and leaving their bodies without fingertips to complicate their identification. Denver Homicide Detective Blake Halloran is sure she is connected to the other killings but he can’t identify her, even with her fingertips intact. And she can’t remember anything—including the face or name of the man who tried to kill her.

With each new victim, it becomes more crucial for Alex to remember what happened to her if Blake and his partner are to solve the murders, but how do you force someone to remember? As Blake’s strong attraction to her and his need to protect her grows, so does his uneasiness about the inability to identify her, whether she’s a villain or a victim, and whether her amnesia is real.

 

FINDING ALEX is available on Audible, Amazon and (soon) Apple Books.

It’s Christmas in June!

Well, that is, when you listen to A MAYFAIR CHRISTMAS CAROL by Kassandra Lamb, the 4th book in the Marcia Banks and Buddy Mystery series.

Experience Florida’s balmy December weather and the cozy breeze of murder with this holiday cozy mystery. As always, I love narrating Marcia and Buddy’s adventures, and can not wait for the next one!

 

From the Publisher:

A Christmas extravaganza in Mayfair, Florida, complete with an ice skating rink. What could go wrong?

When Mayfair’s newly minted Chamber of Commerce goes off the rails, and decides to build an ice skating rink, a decades-old skeleton is uncovered. The secrets it reveals threaten more than the town’s Christmas plans. Feeling responsible since the let’s-attract-more-tourists idea was hers initially, service dog trainer Marcia Banks is determined to help her police detective boyfriend solve the mystery – whether he wants her help or not. Maybe she can wheedle more out of the townspeople than he can.

Will she and her black Lab, Buddy, keep the ghost of Christmas past from destroying what is left of Mayfair’s founding family, or will her meddling make things worse?

(This novella can be enjoyed as a stand-alone, but it is an integral part of the Marcia Banks and Buddy Mystery series. It’s suggested that listeners following the series not skip it.)

A MAYFAIR CHRISTMAS CAROL is available on Audible, Amazon, iTunes and wherever audiobooks are sold.

Happy audiobook birthday to Kassandra Lamb for THE CALL OF THE WOOF. I had so much fun narrating Marcia Banks (Mar-see-uh, not Mar-sha!) and Buddy’s 3rd adventure. A wild ride, for sure!

Army veteran Jake Black has a new lease on life, thanks to service dog Felix and his trainer Marcia Banks. Despite a traumatic brain injury, Jake’s able to ride his beloved motorcycle again, with Felix in the sidecar. But his freedom to hit the open road is threatened once more when he and his wife are accused of robbery.

Called in to dog-sit, Marcia can’t sit idly by. She and her mentor dog Buddy set out to clear the Blacks’ name, fighting misconceptions about bikers and about TBI along the way. When murder is added to the mix, Marcia redoubles her efforts, despite anonymous threats and her sheriff boyfriend’s strenuous objections, both to her putting herself at risk…and to dragging him along on her wild ride.
