New book released on Audible today!

The science fiction book I recorded was released for sale on Audible today.  Exponential Apocalypse by Eirik Gumeny follows the exploits of Thor (yes, THAT Thor), the genetic descendents of two U.S. presidents and one English queen, an alcoholic Aztec god, a slacker cult and various zombies, robots and even some humans after a series of apocalypses bring the word to an end.  Sort of.  Except that Thor is now working in housekeeping at a Holiday Inn in Secaucus, New Jersey.  That should give you an idea of how things are working out.  

Hope you'll like this group of characters.  I certainly did.  I love Eirik Gumeny's sense of humor and hope I did justice to them.  You can listen to a sample and (yes, please) purchase the book here.

Audiobooks: Upcoming, in the works, and in the queue

I've been very busy with my audiobook narration projects and decided I would post a status update.  Coming soon to Audible is a science fiction/humor book called Exponential Apocalypse by Eirik Gumeny.  This was a lot of fun to record.  Great characters including
Thor (yes, the former God), the genetic descendents of two American presidents and one English queen, along with various humans, scientists, zombies and more.  Eirik Gumeny has one of those imaginations that causes me to wonder if he was anything like Calvin of the Calvin & Hobbes comic strip when he was a kid.  (I still really miss that strip.)

This book is currently in post-production and should be out in a couple of weeks.  I'll post here when it's for sale on Audible.

I'm currently working on a 'fish-out-of-water' book called Yankee, Go Home! by Sharon Delarose.  Although it's presented as fiction, the stories in the book are true and actually happened to Ms. Delarose when she moved as a very young woman (late teens) to live in the deep south in the early 1970's.  As a native New Yorker living on her own in various small towns in Alabama and Georgia, she experienced culture shock that would have sent many people heading back home.  Some memorable characters in this book, too.

The next book I'll be recording after Yankee, Go Home! is nonfiction on a serious note.  Ted and Ann: The Mystery of  a Missing Child and her Neighbor Ted Bundy by Rebecca Morris investigates the disappearance of an 8-year-old girl who vanished from her Tacoma, Wash. neighborhood and might have been Bundy's first victim.  True crime is one of my favorite genres and I look forward to getting started on this book.

After Ted and Ann..., I'll be narrating my second book by the writer Kathleen Walls.  (I previously recorded her mystery Kudzu.)  Last Step is set in the seedy drug world in Jacksonville, Florida.  A woman who loses her daughter to death via drug overdose sets out to discover if it was an accidental overdose or murder.  Her search leads her into dangerous territory as she immerses herself in the world her daughter had entered.

So, I'm staying busy for now but will post here as these books are finished and up for sale.  Many thanks to Linda for being my proof-listener! 

Latest audiobook released!

My latest narration has just been released on Audible.  Tiaras & Texans: A Presley Thurman Mystery by Laina Turner.  This is book 5 in the Presley Thurman series.   Presley wins a bet with her boyfriend, Cooper, who owns a security firm.  She gets an assignment as an investigator with his company.  However, when Presley discovers it involves covering a beauty pageant where pranks had been played on the girls the previous year, she's less than thrilled at the idea of hanging around a hotel with a bunch of beauty queens.  But things start happening to the girls and Presley's job becomes a lot more interesting... 

The book can be purchased here.

I'm just finishing up another mystery called Kudzu by Kathleen Walls and I've started recording a sci/fi dystopian comedy called Exponential Apocalypse by Eirik Gumeny.  Then it's on to a 'fish out of water' story.  I love variety!
