Greystone Audiobooks are coming!

By

I was hoping Signs would be up and running by now, but ACX is quite a bit behind when it comes to their review process. Other than that, though, I’m excited to share with you the news that Greystone Audiobooks are coming your way this year!

Why audiobooks?

I’ve received a number of requests from readers about delving into audio over the years. Audiobooks are the fastest growing market in the book business. People love listening to narratives, be it novels or podcasts or even talk radio (yes, that’s still a thing).

With the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives (outside of our current situation, of course) some people don’t have time to relax and crack open a book. Audiobooks are the perfect solution. I’m excited to share the Greystone series in this new format.

Meet J.S. Arquin

I’ve been talking up this fine gentleman for some time now. J.S. is the incredible author of the Crimson Dust series, and the narrator of the Greystone audiobooks. He brings such a dynamic voice to the characters and nails every inflection during the book.

I’m very fortunate to have him in my corner, bringing these books to life.

Be sure to check out his other work as well.

Release Schedule

Obviously, I have no control over this. ACX runs at their own pace. J.S. finished Signs back in April and it has yet to show up on ACX. When it does we might be able to gauge the timeline better. My hope is to have Tales from Portents and The Medusa Coin set and ready to go by the end of the year so we can close out the first cycle next year.

That is my hope. Let’s see what reality has in store for us.

This couldn’t have come at a better time…

The best part about going back to the beginning and diving into Signs is the opportunity it’s brought me to continue the narrative. Greystone has been my primary focus this year – from the prequel trilogy, to audio, to the new serial coming out later this year, and now to the final major arc in the main series.

I’ve been dancing around it for months in preparation, but have taken my first steps to closing out the Greystone series.

More news to come in the writing update later this month!

Spring Reading List – 2020 Edition

By

I’m a little late in putting together my Spring Reading List this year. I’m keeping this one short with the hope that I might actually get to read them all. I hope you have been enjoying some great fiction while keeping safe and healthy during this time.

Spring Reading List

Black Magnet by David Neth

The city is heating up…

Ash doesn’t know who he is or how he ended up in an old coal mine outside the city. Even more terrifying, he discovers that he can throw fire from the palms of his hands when he saves Rachel from being mugged. She’s a researcher, who develops a curiosity for his powers. With the help of Rachel and her coworker, Perry, Ash tries to piece together what happened to him.

They soon encounter another super they call the Gatekeeper, who knows Ash’s history and holds a grudge against him for it that he expects Ash to pay for. But the Gatekeeper seems to be more powerful than Ash’s own moniker: Heat. With the Gatekeeper’s apprentice, Black Magnet, terrorizing the city, Heat will have to fight his way to uncover answers about his past.

However, those answers won’t set him free.

Twist by J.S. Arquin

TO ESCAPE, A BOY MUST PLAY…

TO PLAY, A BOY MUST PAY.

BUT WILL THE PRICE BE HIS LIFE?

The only way out of Canyon City is to win the Game,

But Theo Maro always eats dust.

When he finds a strange object in the scrapyard,

He thinks his luck might be changing.

But luck can change for the better … or the worse.

Will Theo uncover the path to victory?

Or a one-way ticket to the scrapyard?

VR and reality collide in this action-packed prequel to The Crimson Dust Cycle.

If you like cyberpunk or LitRPG, you’ll love this origin story.

Because everyone loves an underdog…

And games are the universal language.

Lost Library – Kate Baray

A mysterious and magical book

What’s the point of a book that can’t be read? Lizzie hasn’t a clue, but she does know there’s magic afoot.

When a handsome stranger shows up on her doorstep asking questions and expecting her to have all the answers, she can’t decide if she wants to thump him or kiss him. And John’s revelation that he’s a Lycan doesn’t simplify matters.

Before Lizzie can catch her breath, she and John are caught up in an evil mastermind’s bid for power. Can she and John put a stop to their newfound enemy’s plans?

Take a romp through the life of the quirky and well-meaning Lizzie as she discovers magic, creatures that go bump in the night, and maybe love.
