Fourth Book Finished!
I finally finished my 4th book, www.whatif, and it should be available soon. It's a true "what if" story...in this case, what if there were a company that could be called upon to handle sensitive matters that lie beyond the reach of official entities? First-time author Joe Dutcher isn't afraid to push the envelope in this look at one way, albeit extreme, to address the ever-escalating price of energy. He promises 1, probably 2 sequels, and I must confess to being curious to see where he goes next. I'll let you know when it's available.
Almost as soon as I finished that one I got a contract for a new one, Duty to Investigate. This one is about a journalist embedded in a Marine combat unit in the second Iraq war and promises to be a very good read. I've submitted the first 15 minutes for the author's approval and am looking forward to getting into it full tilt!

Two New Books Available!!
Shattered: on the Edge of Insanity went on sale on audible.com on Fri and has already shattered all of my expectations! This book caught me so off guard at the end that I talked about it for days after finishing it. There were several times throughout the read that I thought I'd figured it out, only to find that I was SOOOO far off! Attorney Rick Ratner wakes up in a mental hospital, not knowing how he got there, only to learn that his daughter has been murdered...by him! If you like well-crafted suspenseful mysteries, this is a MUST read (hear?). To listen to a sample, go to: http://www.audible.com/search/ref=a_search_tseft__galileo?advsearchKeywords=Shattered%3A+on+the+Edge+of+Insanity&x=13&y=21
The Stillness of Winter, which I actually finished before Shattered, is now available on audible.com and should be out on amazon and iTunes soon. This was a different read for me...it's a love story (not to be confused with a romance novel) told by a guy from a guy's perspective. I never spoke with the author about it, but it reads like a memoir and, if it isn't, he's a very good author, simply because he pulls you in and makes you feel it is real. Be forewarned, the language gets a little rough...again because it's real. It's 3 best friends who interact like any best friends do--without having to worry about filters or being judged; there is absolutely no pretentiousness here. If you read it, be prepared for some surprises. To listen to a sample, go to: http://www.audible.com/search/ref=a_search_tseft__galileo?advsearchKeywords=The+Stillness+of+Winter&x=11&y=11

More on the way!!
Just finished up book # 3 today, and the author approved it already, so it's on its way to QA. For anyone who likes a well-crafted suspense story, this is a MUST read (listen?) The ending caught me totally by surprise! It's called Shattered: On the Edge of Insanity by Jason Wallace. I'll keep you posted as to when it's available.
Meanwhile, book # 2, The Stillness of Winter, has passed the QA process and should be out next week!
In the meantime, I'm about a third of the way through www.whatif and can now devote my concentration to finishing it up...and putting a few more auditions out there!!
Betrayed is selling; I just wish I knew what's considered to be "good." Regardless, I appreciate your support and do hope you'll post some reviews so we can entice others to listen!

This is exciting!
Betrayed, by award-winning author Brendan DuBois, is selling! I have no idea what's considered good sales in this arena, but I'm encouraged! If you like a well constructed thriller, with a twist of conspiracy and a full shot of terrifying plausibility, you'll love this one.
The Stillness of Winter, by new author Vincent Watson, should be coming out this week or next, at the latest! This is a love story from the man's perspective, and brought some twists that I sure didn't see coming! Keep your eyes on my FaceBook page or here, because I'll definitely let you know when it's available.
Book # 3, Shattered, on the Edge of Insanity, by Jason Wallace, is moving along nicely. This is a mystery about a lawyer who wakes up in a mental hospital accused of murdering his only child. I'm a third of the way through it and should have it ready to go by mid-November!
Book # 4, www.whatif, by new author Joe Dutcher, is sitting comfortably in the wings right now, and gives me yet another challenge. This one takes the "what if" concept to the max, so stay tuned!!

Rock 'N Roll!
Best-selling/award winning author Brendan DuBois has accepted/approved my recording of his book, Betrayed. It's now in QA and should be available soon. Similarly, author Vincent Watson approved my recording of his book, The Stillness of Winter, and it's in QA, hopefully to be available soon. I'm working on book # 3, Shattered, on the Edge of Insanity. by Jason Wallace. He's approved the first 15 minutes, which is done to make sure my style, etc matches the author's ideas, so I've already submitted the first 2 chapters. I've also just submitted the first 15 minutes of www.whatif for the author to approve.
Definitely making progress here, and feeling good about it. Here's hoping they sell!!

When it rains, it pours!!
Shortly after posting the update last evening I received another offer to record a book I had auditioned for several weeks ago! The blessing here is that both new projects are ones I really wanted to do, and I'm comfortable taking on 2 projects concurrently. The newest project is www.whatif by Joe Dutcher and should be a fun read.
Thanks for dropping by!

Another new book to record!
Well, yesterday I finished book # 2, The Stillness of Winter by Jason Watson. It's now in his hands (ears?) for final review. Today I auditioned for several more and, just this evening, received an offer to record Shattered, On the Edge of Insanity by Jason Wallace. My first book, Betrayed by Brendon DuBois, is also in final review and, hopefully, will be available soon! I must admit that this new chapter in my life is very gratifying, and I'm thankful for the opportunity.

Not always easy...is it?
As we all know, things are never as easy as we had hoped! After discovering that I had to unlearn some things from the way we did them in the talking books program, I had to make minor changes on my recording of Betrayed, which set things back a tad! But I'm happy to say that it's now in the hands of the author for his final review. Hopefully it'll pass muster!
That said, I'm more than a third through my second book, The Stillness of Winter, and should have that ready for the author in about 2 weeks!
Looking ahead for the next project, I've been researching ACX for other opportunities and just submitted an audition today, and have another 3 or 4 that I'll get uploaded tomorrow!
As they say, stay tuned for the announcement of when the first book goes on sale!

New Audio Book coming out soon!
Hi, welcome to my first attempt at blogging! Here's hoping I don't screw it up!
I'm happy to announce that I've just finished my first audio book for audible.com and I can't wait for it to be released. It's a thriller/"what if" fictional account of a group of Vietnam POWs/MIAs exploring the "what if's" surrounding some of the rumors that were prevalent following the war. It's entitled Betrayed and is written by award-winning author Brendan DuBois and, although it's fiction, it has some terrifying hints of plausibility that will make you stop and think. Whether you yourself served in 'Nam or are a descendent of someone who did, this story will talk to you...simply because you either served in 'Nam or had family or friends who did and, in all probability, lost at least one family member or friend over there. If you like a well told story that is riveting, keep your eyes out for the audio version of Betrayed...you won't be disappointed.
I'm also glad to announce that I've started my second book, but more about that to come.
Stay tuned...I'll let you know when Betrayed is available.
