Destiny Interrupted Narrator
Hurrah! I think I’ve found the narrator to read my 31-part time travel series! Elizabeth and Robert are reborn during the Civil War, in feudal Japan, during the Trail of Tears, at the Library of Alexandria, and more. Fate tosses them together and rips them apart. So happy this is getting done. What are you

Black Sea Flood Story
Hurrah! I’ve found the perfect narrator for my Copper Age flood tale! This is a 10-part historic story set 5600BC in the basin of the Black Sea, an event which many feel was the actual basis for the Noah flood story. Please cross your fingers with me that she accepts the project! What are you

Newgate Copper Mines / Prison
Hurrah! Bob and I had an absolutely amazing time today researching the Newgate copper mines / prison. It was a powerful experience to be there. NOTHING was flat or level. The “ground” was tilted, sloped, twisting, bumpy, so you were always walking at an angle or changing tilt from step to step. This played with

Medieval Romance Book 16 Cover
Here we go, two hours later. Book 16. Playing with general ideas. On her, lower or higher neckline? On him, white or yellow shirt? Does his cross help? Background, forest or castle? Maybe something neutral like curtains? I also played with their face tone. Left, right, or some combination? Thanks!

Cover for Medieval Book 16
OK clearly I have my work cut out for me. I am on book 16 in my medieval novel series so I’ve already used all the “reasonable” model shots. I’m going to have to heavily edit this. Crop to just the heads – those “medieval” costumes are ridiculous. Then add in a shirt for him

Pixie Series Narration
Hurrah! I found an awesome narrator for my pixie series. It’s set here in Whitinsville. If you’re an author, you NEED to create audio versions of your books. Even the short ones. It lets you reach a massive new audience, and it also causes your existing versions (ebook, print, etc) to gain a more professional

Aquarian Awakenings
I recently finished proof-listening to the narration for book 1 in my four-part science fiction romance. The narrator did an AMAZING job. I got so sucked into my own story that I then had to re-read books 2-4 to finish it off. Ah, the challenges of being a writer :). Do you binge-read books once

2007 BBC Robin Hood
I’ve been rewatching the 2007 BBC version of Robin Hood in preparation for the release of book 16 in my medieval romance series. While I enjoy this version, the costumes are ATROCIOUS. Is this what they wore in 1197? Really??
