New western romance on Audible

My latest recording on Audible is a sweet mail-order bride western romance. It's called Learning to Trust Again by Susannah Calloway.

"Fearful and frightened, Lacey Harper must learn to save herself. When her father plans to marry her off to enrich himself, she answers an advert for a Mail Order Bride. She boards a train to Colorado Territory to marry a man named Neil Thompson.

But Neil doesn’t want or need a wife. He’d buried his beloved Maggie four years earlier and cannot move on from her death. His daughter, Darcy, now six, needs the mother Neil refuses to provide.

Lacey arrives in Miner’s Gulch, Colorado, and learns that Neil’s family had asked for a Mail Order Bride for him; Neil has no knowledge of the arrangement. Lacey agrees to stay on only until she finds a new husband. Except Lacey is attracted to Neil, and Neil to Lacey.

But Neil declares he’ll never marry again. Lacey writes the Mail Order Bride Agency to find a man who truly wants her, but Darcy’s sudden illness prevents Lacey from leaving.

Neil realizes he’s fallen for Lacey, but has he lost her? When Lacey’s father arrives to take her home to marry another, Neil fights for her. Then a mysterious event binds Lacey and Neil together for all time."

A fun sci-fi short story now on Audible

I had the opportunity to record a classic sci-fi short story by William Tenn for Audible. Venus is a Man's World is a fun read. 

"In the future, Earth is ruled by women and many of the men have fled to other planets. Ferdinand is a boy on a spaceship headed to Venus where the men are said to be plentiful. He's with his older sister, Evelyn, who decided to leave Earth in search of a husband. After Ferdinand stumbles on a stowaway named Butt Lee Brown, a battle of the sexes ensues. Satire and humor abound in this tale from William Tenn."

Uplifting and encouraging family listening!

New recording (finally!) on Audible

Having a new roof put on your house and recording audio are two things that definitely do not mix.  I had to work on a couple of short projects in between the sounds of ripping, hammering, etc.  One hit Audible today via Spoken Realms:  Gretchen's Forty Winks by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

"A light, comedic short story from American author F. Scott Fitzgerald.

A young married couple with a baby is eking out a living while the husband, Roger, works to establish his own advertising company. His wife, Gretchen, is stunningly beautiful and unhappy with how much time Roger spends working.

After an evening with Roger's old friend, George Tompkins, who suggests that Roger needs more of a work/life balance, a flirtation begins between George and Gretchen.

How Roger decides to nip the relationship in the bud while meeting his career goal involves, among other things, a sleeping potion and a suitcase full of his wife's shoes."
