From the Publisher:

I quit my job. I walked away from everything I knew. I couldn’t lose anyone else. Not again. Working for James Martin wasn’t supposed to be complicated or lethal. Too bad someone wanted him dead, and I was the only thing standing in the way.

When eccentric playboy CEO James Martin’s life is threatened, he decides to hire Alexis Parker, an attractive, feisty, former federal agent, to be his new security consultant and personal bodyguard. As Alex attempts to navigate the minefield of potential suspects, she discovers an underlying conspiracy that has been brewing at Martin Technologies for almost half a decade. Anyone could be involved, making Martin’s closest friends, acquaintances, and employees possible suspects.

What starts out as a single death threat quickly morphs into a plot to overtake his entire company. Once the pieces fall into place, things explode, both literally and figuratively. This outwardly simple case is something neither Alex nor Martin ever imagined. It will take all of Alex’s training and instincts to track down the criminal mastermind and stop the assassination plot before it’s too late, and even that may not be enough.

Santa’s summer vacation plans turn deadly in this festive mystery from the author of Rest Ye Murdered Gentlemen and We Wish You a Murderous Christmas.

The town of Rudolph, New York, has the Christmas spirit all year long—but when homicide heats up a summer holiday, it’s up to shop owner Merry Wilkinson to wrap up the case.

In Rudolph, Christmas in July heralds Santa’s arrival by boat to begin his summer vacation at the lake, and Merry Wilkinson, owner of Mrs. Claus’s Treasures, is looking forward to a busy weekend. But she’s caught off guard when her ex-fiance, Max Folger, unexpectedly arrives with a team from a lifestyle magazine wanting to do a feature on the July festivities.

It’s clear that Max’s visit has less to do with business and more to do with winning back Merry’s heart. Merry has too much on her plate to deal with an old flame, but when Max is found strangled to death in Mrs. Claus’s Treasures, she must find out who wanted him dead—and stop a killer from ruining the summer holiday cheer.

From the Publisher:

I was willing to give anything and everything to find my brother. But these three ex-special forces soldiers wanted only one thing from me. And it wasn’t money.

When my brother Evan disappeared on the streets of Oakland, I looked for weeks. Broke and alone, my search put me on the Lozano crime family’s radar: a virtual death sentence.

That’s when they showed up: three tattooed, muscle-bound saviors, arriving at my darkest hour. Protecting me wasn’t their intention, but it became their shared goal. It felt good to be safe and sound, tucked away in their underground apartment.

But these men aren’t just military, they’re ex-special forces. Mercenaries are for hire, paid to do the impossible jobs that no one else can.

And I need my brother back.

Silas is the tattooed marine scout: deliciously broad-chested, dark-skinned and deadly. Cody is the dirty blond SEAL whose giant shoulders and chiseled arms I could spend all day wrapped up in, while Santiago is the tall, brooding Venezuelan hiding his own deep, dark secret.

Together, they’ve sworn to see me through, but when my troubles become their troubles, things get sticky…in more ways than one. And when a vicious Mexican cartel rears its ugly head on the mean streets of Oakland, even the deadliest mercenaries in the world need to watch their backs.

Can a lonely, desperate waitress find love with three sizzling soldiers of fortune? Or will forces beyond anyone’s control tear everything apart?

Given to the Mercenaries is a military reverse harem love story filled with suspense, humor, and enough sizzling hot action to melt your device (author not responsible for molten devices). HEA guaranteed!

GIVEN TO THE MERCENARIES is available on Audible, Amazon, and Apple Books.

This one is good. Like ugly cry good. Which I TOTALLY did while recording it. Every. Damn. Chapter.

Because this book took me back to:
The mix tapes.
The angst.
The stupid “rules.”
The better-be-who-they-think-you-should-be’s.

But also:
The belief in possibility.
The belief in yourself.
The belief in love.

Hope you love it too.

From the Publisher:

They’re smart enough to know a star-crossed lovers situation never works. Leah’s a loner from the poor side of town, working two jobs, and aching to leave their sleepy hometown in her rear view forever. Victoria lives in a mansion with her overbearing parents, surrounded by friends and known to none of them, living what others consider a charmed life.

Leah Vasquez and Victoria Lockwood should not fall in love, but they do.

Five years after their summer romance flames out, Victoria returns home to visit her dysfunctional family, fiance in tow. She’s shocked to find Leah never left town, and more surprisingly, neither did their feelings for each other. Still hurt over how Victoria ended things Leah resists any reconciliation, despite how hotly the embers of their love burn.

Happy audiobook release day for HER MERCENARY (Steele Shadows Mercenaries) by the amazing Amanda McKinney!

I absolutely loved narrating this romantic suspense with the swoony-voiced Alan Carlson.

Hope you enjoy it!

Publisher’s Summary

The best-selling and award-winning Steele Shadows series continues in this new protector romance spin-off series, packed with page-turning mystery, steamy angst, exotic locations, and four dangerously attractive mercenaries.

She was supposed to be the mission. She became his undoing.

When American schoolteacher Samantha Greene goes missing in Mexico, the US government calls on private military firm, Astor Stone Inc., to assist in finding her. Former soldier Roman Thieves volunteers for the case, seizing the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. After all, no one knows the dark underworld of human trafficking like he does—or knows exactly how involved he is in their business dealings.

When the mission falls apart, Roman finds himself on the run with the blonde-haired, green-eyed bombshell, seeking refuge in the untamed wilderness of the Sierra Madre Mountains—on a trail rumored to be haunted, nonetheless. With only a small bag of provisions, they must battle the elements, including scorching hot temperatures, and work together to outsmart the savage predators hunting them.

As his motives become clouded by a fierce need to protect Sam, Roman must choose between avenging his past and saving the woman who snuck her way into his heart.
Her Mercenary will thrill fans of Jodi Ellen Malpas, Meghan March, and Susan Stoker.

Each audiobook is a standalone romantic suspense, no cliffhangers.

The audiobook for HER MERCENARY is available exclusively on Audible, Amazon and iTunes.

Audiobook cover: a black background with a pile of pharmaceutical capsules and tablets in bright colors (pink, green, blue, white, red and yellow) spilled on a black surface. The title is "HOLD" in large red letters. Underneath the title, smaller white font reads: A medical murder mystery. Amy S. Peele

You guys.

HOLD, the third book in Amy S. Peele’s medical mystery series is now on audio!

Sarah and Jackie’s adventures continue in their long-awaited vacation in Cuba, but when they return home, they find another thing amiss in the transplant world. All I can say is: in this one, trouble will find trouble, no matter where Sarah and Jackie go. 😉

Special thanks to Scribe Media!

From the Publisher:

Sarah Golden and Jackie Larsen promised their partners they were out of the detective business. They declared “game over” after both of them almost lost their lives trying to solve their last medical mystery, and they’re happy with that decision: Sarah has finally allowed love and romance into her life, Jackie’s marriage is solid, and Jackie’s son, Wyatt, is still doing great with his year-old kidney transplant.

So when they go on their dream trip to Cuba, they are not looking for trouble. But all their plans go out the window when a desperate plea from a Cuban transplant surgeon puts the duo in serious danger with the Cuban government on the same day the four most prominent immunologists in the world—doctors who were on the verge of solving the huge rejection issues that have plagued the transplant community for more than 50 years—are killed in a car accident in Chicago.

Soon, Sarah and Jackie find themselves dragged into the bowels of investigating venture capitalists and corporate greed—a terrain they know nothing about. As they uncover suspect clinical trials at major US transplant centers, including Sarah’s, their usual friends Biker Bob and Officer Handsome aren’t able to help them much, but they do receive assistance from an unlikely source: Sergio, who they helped to land in prison in Florida (and who is trying to win back his girlfriend), offers his help from the inside. Sarah and Jackie are armed with smarts, humor, and enough persistence to help them face the white-collared demons of corporate America—but with dangerous players gunning for them and death threats being made against their families, will they be able to solve this mystery before someone else gets hurt?

HOLD can be purchased wherever audiobooks are sold, including Libro.fm, Chirp, Audiobooks.com, Apple Books, Audible, and Amazon.

SOVAS Winner: Best Biography Narration

December 19, 2022December 19, 2022 amy@amydeuchler.comAudiobooks

I am completely flabbergasted (in a good way!) to learn that WE WALK: LIFE WITH SEVERE AUTISM won the 2022 SOVAS* award for best biography!

“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 twenty-one-year-old son with severe autism.”

Thank you so much to Amy S. F. Lutz for trusting me to tell Jonah’s story, to Margy at University Press/Redwood Audiobooks for extending great patience, and everyone at the SOVAS organization for their hard work. I am honored. ❤️

This win also wouldn’t have happened without the amazing support of the audiobook community narrators and coaches. Specifically, the two coaches Sean Allen Pratt (a.k.a. The Ginger Yoda) and PJ Ochlan (Dr. Dialect). I tried to infuse this narration project with everything they taught me (so thank you Sean and PJ).

The print version** of WE WALK was reviewed by the New York Times and the audiobook is also an AudioFile Magazine Earphone Award Winner. If you would like to learn more about Amy S. F. Lutz and her son Jonah, PBS recently featured them on a documentary “Living with Profound Autism” as part of their IN A DIFFERENT KEY series. If you would like to listen to the audiobook of WE WALK, you can find it on Apple Books, Amazon and Audible.
