New Release: MAGNETIC NORTH

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.

Publisher’s Summary

As kids, best friends Willa Dunn and Lee Chandler spend every summer together at the idyllic Upstate New York community of Forestlands Lake, nestled in the foothills of the Taconic Mountains. During the summer before they turn sixteen—just as the two are discovering that there might be something more to their friendship—a tragic accident befalls Willa’s family and without warning, Willa and Lee’s world is torn apart.

Twenty-five years later, Willa is a successful author of the young adult ghost stories she loved to read as a child. She returns to the lake looking for a writer’s retreat and an opportunity to connect with her troubled teenage sister, Nicole.

Lee, now a single mother to her wise-beyond-her-years teenage daughter Maggie, is the director of the summer camp on the other side of Forestlands Lake.

Before Willa and Nicole even have the chance to unpack, their plans are upset by a mysterious young girl, a near-drowning, and a surprise reunion. Soon Willa and Lee are working to protect the girls, reconcile their past, and unearth the secrets surrounding Forestlands Lake—putting old ghosts to rest once and for all.

Audiobook cover image showing two woman in love; a long dark-haired woman in a wedding dress, holding a bouquet, smiling with her eyes closed; a second dark haired woman in a wedding veil is smiling and snuggling with the first woman; Text: Always Hers by Bel Blackwood

What would you do if you ran into your ex (and first love) the day before your best friend’s wedding. . . In Vegas. . . .And woke up married the next morning?

Yeah, me neither.

But Dani knows. Or at least she knows the first part, and that last part, but the middle part (that whole marriage thing) is a mystery.

Listen to Dani uncover the clues (with Mia’s help) in this cute lesfic rom com.

Thanks to Tantor Audio for the opportunity to narrate Dani and Mia’s story!

 

From the Publisher:

Dani Smith has a problem. Scratch that: this fun-loving lesbian has three of them. 

First, she wakes up hungover and married in Vegas. Oops. She was only supposed to be in Sin City for a friend’s wedding, but now she’s the one with a shiny gold ring on her finger. 

Second, she’s not exactly sure who she married. She may have a ring, but her bride is nowhere in sight. 

The third problem is aloof, cold-hearted Mia: Dani’s ex. The last thing that Dani needs is that know-it-all ice queen—even if her first love still makes Dani’s heart race. But if she’s going to track down her mystery bride before she leaves town, she’s going to need some help. 

Mia Reyes has enough on her plate. Between arranging her best friend’s wedding and pulling long hours as a family doctor, she has no time for anything else. But when her ex, Dani, shows up in Vegas, Mia can’t resist her irresistible smile.

Now, Dani has a wedding ring on her finger, and Mia can’t remember exactly what it is that she did last night. But Mia knows she’s not the kind of person to get blackout drunk and marry her ex. Right?

Once upon a time, Mia broke Dani’s heart. Now, she has a second chance. Can she and Dani rekindle their love?

 

ALWAYS HERS is available on Audible, Amazon, and most audiobook retailers.

From the Publisher:

Being trapped under house arrest in a haunted Victorian seems like a Halloween nightmare. But not when Silvana’s got three VERY sizzling locals to keep her company…

Inheriting my great-grandfather’s mansion seemed like the perfect escape from my troubled past, especially since I could renovate while under house arrest. But when I left warm, sunny Miami for a cold house deep in the New Hampshire wilderness? I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

Enter Cyrus, the leather-clad, motorcycle-riding loner who just so happens to have contracting experience. Between his piercing ice blue eyes and those of his broad-shouldered, just-as-gorgeous friend Nolan, the sheriff’s deputy, the two of them are willing to take turns keeping me in line.

Then there’s Hudson, spiritualist and amateur ghost-hunter, the third friend to round out their hot little trio. With jet black hair and dark, glimmering eyes, I find myself melting into a puddle whenever I’m around him. Or any of them, really. But especially when all three are with me at once.

It’s all fun and games until my past shows up to drag me back into trouble, which was bound to happen. And the old Victorian my great-grandfather built holds secrets of its own, some of which are as fascinating as they are terrifying.

Can a girl find love wearing an ankle-monitor with a radius three beautiful hunks wide? Or am I doomed to spend Halloween in my haunted house in the darkened wood all alone?

THE SWITCHING HOUR is a full-length reverse harem Halloween romance filled tons of tricks and treats and autumn-style goodness. If you like cozy new adult holiday romance and jaunts through the woods at midnight? You just found your favorite new RH story. HEA Guaranteed!

The audiobook for THE SWITCHING HOUR is available on Audible, Amazon, and Apple Books.

 

New Release: WE WALK: LIFE WITH SEVERE AUTISM

Audiobook cover for WE WALK: LIFE WITH SEVERE AUTISM by Amy S. F. Lutz; the cover background has lines of brilliant colors in purple, pink, green and yellow, with the title in white lettersMy 70th audiobook released yesterday, and it’s the one I’m most proud of.

WE WALK: LIFE WITH SEVERE AUTISM by Amy S.F. Lutz is one of those books that makes you think from all sides and feel with every emotion, about humanity. All its quirks, all its flaws, all its struggles, and all its joys.

Judith Newman’s review in the New York Times affirms WE WALK “clears a path for us toward kindness and understanding” for people with autism.

Indeed it does.

I’m honored to have narrated this memoir/biography about Amy and her son Jonah.

From the Publisher:

In this collection of beautiful and raw essays, Amy S. F. Lutz writes openly about her experience – the positive and the negative – as a mother of a now 21-year-old son with severe autism. Lutz’s human emotion drives through each moment and challenges commonly held ideas that define autism either as a disease or as neurodiversity. We Walk is inspired by her own questions: What is the place of intellectually and developmentally disabled people in society? What responsibilities do we, as citizens and human beings, have to one another? Who should decide for those who cannot decide for themselves? What is the meaning of religion to someone with no abstract language? Exploring these questions, We Walk directly – and humanly – examines social issues such as inclusion, religion, therapeutics, and friendship through the lens of severe autism.

In a world where public perception of autism is largely shaped by the “quirky geniuses” featured on television shows like The Big Bang Theory and The Good Doctor, We Walk demands that we center our debates about this disorder on those who are most affected by its impacts.

 

WE WALK is available on Amazon, Audible, and (soon) on iTunes/Apple Books.

Clean? Decorate for the holidays? Relax? Shopping? Curse the cold weather?

Why not do all the things while you listen to THE BOYS WHO LOVED ME by Krista Wolf?

#whychoose

From the publisher:

A lifelong friendship that became a rivalry. Three gorgeous specters of my past, hellbent on winning me back. Who knew coming home could be so deliciously complicated?

When the funeral of a childhood friend brings Kayla back to North Glade, she’s forced to face the very reasons she left. And when three sizzling exes reveal they still harbor feelings for her? The men come up with a very unique way of determining who gets their shot.

There’s Warren…her first in every way. Whiskey-brown eyes. A lady-killing smile and a roguishly handsome face, set upon shoulders to die for.

Then there’s Luke, tall, blond, and perfect. Warren’s best friend…at least up until he and Kayla shared that smoldering hot summer together, just after their breakup.

Finally, there’s Adrian, the brooding tattooed god. Thick black hair with mountains of muscle; a friend with benefits so raw and savage Kayla could never hope to resist – nor would she ever want to.

Choosing between them becomes an impossibility…until a very unorthodox solution presents itself. One that leaves Kayla breathless and filled with butterflies, while fulfilling every last one of her far-flung fantasies.

But North Glade still harbors its own share of mysteries, as outside forces begin aligning against their tight-knit little group. Will Kayla stay long enough for one of her suitors to win her heart? Or will a more unconventional arrangement present itself…one where she gets to eat her cake and have it too?

The Boys Who Loved Me is a sweltering, stand-alone reverse harem love story filled with suspense, humor, new adult romance, and enough molten-hot action to melt your audiobook player (author not responsible for molten audiobook players). Happily ever after guaranteed!

THE BOYS WHO LOVED ME is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. Coming soon to other audiobook distributors.

New Release: IT’S RAINING MEN

Contemporary Romantic Comedy

Anyone like RomCom’s?

Yeah? Me too. Especially ones that take place in Chicago, have wicked-smart younger Gen X pop culture references and have protagonists who basically are. . . . a fictional version of me.

Well, I’m happy to announce that IT’S RAINING MEN by Julie Hammerle (a RomCom that fits that description!) is now available!

I had a just a few (read: a hundred) retakes due to giggles and tears (not because I cried, it was dust in my eye, shut up) in the booth while recording. I hope you giggle too while listening.

Thanks so much to Tantor Audio for the opportunity!

From the Publisher:

Don’t drink and text. Even on the cusp of 40, I had to learn that the hard way. After discovering my best friend, who I was supposed to grow old and single with, got engaged, I drowned my loneliness in one too many Old Fashioneds and woke up with 39 responses from every available man in my phone.

Through the absolute mortification of 37 rejections, shockingly, I realize two men have said yes. Behind Bachelor Door #1 is Rob, my old high school crush: the comfortable, dependable boy-next-door. Behind Bachelor Door #2 is Darius, the exciting, flashy news reporter about to hit it big. Does this mean I’ll have to get out of my yoga pants and actually go on dates now?

Dax, the local bartender who got me into this disaster in the first place – remember the Old Fashioneds? – can’t believe I’ve given up on finding true love. What does a tattooed, broody 20-something know about carving out a future for yourself, anyway?

Too bad the further into this hot mess I get, the less I know about who I am. And I’m going to have to figure out exactly what I need if I ever want to find a true happily ever after.

Contains mature themes.

IT’S RAINING MEN is available wherever audiobooks are sold, including Audible.

New Release: LATCHER

Horror

Just in time for traveling back “home” to visit family: horror novel LATCHER by Mike Dineen is now on audio. It forms an attachment. . .

This book was absolutely chilling to narrate.

And I loved every minute of it. It’s one of my favorite narrations to date.

Hope you enjoy it too!

 

From the Publisher:

How do you let go of the past if the past won’t let go of you?

When her abusive mother goes missing, Joanna Smith sees an opportunity to lay the past and the inner monsters that still haunt her to rest. But while en route to investigate her mother’s whereabouts, Jo and her sister, Amanda, become stranded and are forced to journey into a forest that grows stranger and deadlier the closer they get to the house they grew up in.

To survive this homecoming reunion, Jo must untangle herself from secrets that have plagued her family for generations as she faces a skin-crawling possibility: Her inner monsters might not just be in her head.

“Chockful of gory detail, eerie family secrets, and menacing entities, author Mike Dineen’s Latcher will satisfy horror fans with its fast-paced action and gutsy protagonist who is as formidable as the evil stalking her.” (IndieReader)
