The latest audiobook that I narrated was just released -- The Dreams of Phillip Aisling and the Numinous Nagwaagan by Brandon Bosse. It is a unique Young Adult adventure which explores dreams, multiple dimensions, and the multiverse. Check it out here: http://www.audible.com/pd/Kids/The-Dr...
Phillip Aisling is just like any other boy, or so he thought. On the night of his 13th birthday he has a dream so vivid that he is convinced it was real! He soon learns that he has begun training with the Dream Masters. They practice lucid dreaming to be able to fully control their dreams, giving them immense power. But when his vivid dreams turn into nightmares he never wants to fall asleep again! In his struggle to understand his remarkable dreams and prevent terrible nightmares, he finds a book written to help young dreamers make sense of their new powers. The dictionary leads him to seek the guidance of the Oracle who gives him a numinous nagwaagan, or a magical dreamcatcher, to protect him from the draiths that are causing the nightmares. With the protection of the nagwaagan hanging above his bed, he is finally able to safely return to dreamland. But his struggle to learn to control his new powers has only just begun!
Join Phillip and his friends on an epic journey to learn how to become a powerful dreamer. Explore the possibilities of where our dreams might come from. Are our dreams nothing more than glimpses into alternate realities within the multiverse?

Sci Fi spoof audiobook - Dr. Dimension
Check out my latest audiobook release, Raising Mullah: Dr. Dimension Master of Spacetime by S. Ron Mars. It is a hilarious Sci Fi spoof, with characters based on Groucho Marx, Rodney Dangerfield, Cheech and Chong, the Bowery Boys, and other well-known comedians. You can check it out on Audible at:
http://www.audible.com/pd/Sci-Fi-Fant...
Dr. Demetrios Demopoulus and his gang of time traveling misfits are back, and this time they’re trying really hard to keep the universe from going kaput. Or are they? Helping them stay alive is Erob, a robot who suffers from a split personality disorder. Service with a smile is not his strength, but if you need to threaten an unsuspecting humanoid or two, he’s your man, er, robot. Their mission, should they wish to accept it, is to travel back to 1950s Iran and flush out alien meddlers. Why Iran? Iran so far way? Let’s just say it’s a mystery involving the jingoistic machinations of oil producing nations, a certain foreign intelligence service, and a few inter-dimensional Sasquatch. Sound familiar? It should, it’s based on a true story. Well, most of it, anyway.
Note: This novella is an extension of the Dr. Dimension series originally written by Charles DeChancie and David Bischoff. You don’t need to read the first two novels before reading this one, but the authors would sure appreciate it. It also proves you’re a true mensch. (less)

My newest audiobook is released!
My latest audiobook just released -- The Sentinel Archives #1: Through The Portal by Jackie Castle. Check it out here:
http://www.audible.com/pd/Teens/Throu...
Fans of fantastical tales such as the Fablehaven series and The Spiderwick Chronicles will enjoy exploring the Sentinel Archives. Start off, if you dare, by entering through the portal and into the Realm: a land of enchantment and adventure.
At 13, one passes from childhood into teen-hood. For Malakai Ian LeCrue, turning 13 also means coming into an inheritance he wants no part of.
But someone has to take up the mantel of Sentinel, passed down from generation to generation through Kai's family. He hopes this tell-tale mark will simply pass him on by. He has none of the qualifications needed to become part of the secret Sentinel Society. Not like his little 10-year-old sister, Wyndee, who is a regular scholar of Weirdology.
Even Pops, their grandfather, seems sure the Sentinel Mark will go to the younger female sibling in this generation. Until Pops is brutally attacked and Kai is thrust into a world kept hidden from him by his father who disappeared over a year ago somewhere in the wilderness.
Now the only way to help save Pops and Kai's family is to enter this mysterious world through a portal only he can open. But he's neither been trained, nor is he under the Sentinel protection when he enters the Realm. If he survives, he may not only save Pops, but reveal the staggering truth behind why he'd been kept in the dark about his heritage, and the Realm, in the first place.

Captain Action's 50th Anniversary is celebrated with a new audiobook
I am thrilled to announce the release of the audiobook for "Captain Action: Riddle of the Glowing Men" by Jim Beard, narrated by Fred Wolinsky, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the world's first superhero action figure.
If you are a fan of high action pulp fiction, check out the audiobook at http://www.audible.com/pd/Mysteries-T...
“It was hard for me to imagine how much more exciting it could be to be involved in the creation of this book, but now the audio version takes that to a whole new level. It would be an understatement to say that the action of Riddle of the Glowing Men comes alive; it lives and breathes in a whole new way, thanks to Airship 27 and Radio Archives.” said author Jim Beard.
One of the most popular heroes of the 1960s returns in his first ever full-length novel. Super-spy and master of disguises Miles Drake, aka Captain Action, investigates the Riddle of the Glowing Men.
Foreign assassins are sent to kill Captain Action, and though he manages to defeat them, it is their lifeless bodies that pose the greater mystery as they give off a green, glowing radiation. Teamed with a beautiful and seductive Russian Agent, Captain Action travels to the barren, frozen wastelands of Siberia where the secret behind the glowing men lies buried in a fantastic lost underground world. It is a secret also pursued by his most dangerous nemesis, the alien-born Dr. Evil.
What is this strange power hidden beneath the Earth that could destroy all of mankind, and who will unlock its mysteries first?
Riddle of the Glowing Men is a classic pulp thriller packed with enough intrigue, daring escapes, and breakneck adventure to fill a dozen books. Featuring a stunning cover by artist Nick Runge, it presents a well-loved hero to a new audience eager to experience his special brand of two-fisted battling - Captain Action style!

Book 3 of the "Island of Fog" series is now available on audio
If you have enjoyed the adventures of shapeshifters Hal Franklin and his friends in books 1 and 2 of "Island of Fog," you can now get book 3, "Mountain of Whispers," on audio, narrated by me (Fred Wolinsky). And if you have not yet enjoyed books 1 and 2, then get all three. They are fun, active, fantasy stories, suitable for ages 9 up through adult.
Here is the description of "Mountain of Whispers" --
Hal and his friends weren't looking for another adventure, but this was a mission they couldn't ignore. Whisper Mountain gets its name from the frequent cries of ghosts echoing down its slopes, the souls of victims who have run afoul of the demon. Who in their right mind would venture into the deserted elfin temple? But, according to a crazy old soothsayer, the mountain is the "key to everything".
You can purchase it on Audible here: http://www.audible.com/pd/Fiction/Mou...
For those of you needing to catch up, here are the links for books 1 and 2:
