New Release: HOUSE BOUND

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.

 

New Release: FINDING ALEX

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. I’m talking Sebastian York (SebYo!), Tiffany Williams, Johnny Heller and Michael Pauley. Eeeek! And the audiobook is produced by THE amazing Joc at The Audio Flow and engineered by Dani at Elysian Nightfall Studios. You can NOT get a better combination of creatives than this.

 

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.

New Release: A MAYFAIR CHRISTMAS CAROL

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.

 

New Release: THE CALL OF THE WOOF

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!

 

From the Publisher:

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.

 

THE CALL  OF THE WOOF is available on Audible, Amazon, iTunes and wherever else audiobooks are sold.

Cassia Vici is on a one-way trip to Saturn – to help humanity reach the stars.

A towering genius who’d already solved the problem of death by making memory recording possible, Cassia leads a team of scientists and problem solvers to a station floating in the harsh winds of Saturn. Their mission: to grow interstellar ships using nanobots in the planet’s material-rich environment. She called them “monsters” to help sell the project to a skeptical public.

Little did she know how prophetic that name would become.

But an unexpected death seeds doubt among the team, putting the mission in jeopardy. As her team struggles to save the future, Cassia is haunted by her past – a wife and daughter who died in the very technology that made mind recording possible.

With time running out, Cassia and her crew will need one final miracle to build the monsters that could become both their savior – and their doom.

2021 IAA Finalist: Best Mystery

I’m absolutely thrilled to announce that I’ve been chosen as finalist in the 2021 Independent Audiobook Awards!

LEGACY OF SECRETS by Helen Starbuck was selected as a finalist for Best Mystery. This title was produced by The Audio Flow and engineered by Elysian Nightfall Studios, and they both did an amazing job.

From the Publisher: Kate Earnshaw’s father’s suicide has left many unanswered questions. The police declared it a suicide, but she can’t bring herself to believe it. The more she discovers, however, the more Kate wonders whether she ever really knew him. Her father never explained why he let his childhood home in eastern Colorado fall into ruin or why he kept the property a secret. And he never told Kate about his close friendship with Evan Hastings, the handsome and somewhat puzzling man who lives on the property near the abandoned house. 

Other families pass down their stories. The Earnshaws pass down painful riddles without answers. Kate comes from a family where unspoken secrets disappear from one generation to the next. Evan seems to have as many secrets as her father and to know more about him than she did, which hurts. But there’s something about Evan that calls her back to her father’s home. Something that threatens to unbury more than the past.

Congratulations also to the other finalists in the Best Mystery category:

  • BLUE HILL written by G. Wayne Miller, narrrated by J. Kawamoto – produced by Crossroads Press
  • DIVER’S PARADISE (A Roscoe Conklin Mystery, Book 1) written by Davin Goodwin, narrrated by Alan Carlson
  • THE POIROT COLLECTION: Books 1-3 – The Mysterious Affair at Styles, The Murder on the Links, Poirot Investigates written by Agatha Christie, narrrated by P.J. Ochlan – produced by Lepton Films, LLC
  • THE WIFE LIE written by Anya Mora, narrrated by Jennifer Jill Araya – produced by Vibrance Press

I’m honored to be among this group of narrators. I can barely stand to wait for the winners to be announced at the awards ceremony on June 25th, 2021.

Check out the 2021 IAA finalists in the other categories and, if you can, give them a listen.
