Audiobook Production Almost Done!
SQUEEE!!!! The audiobook for Midnight Conquest is almost done. We had some delays over the holidays and since I'm producing it myself (with the assistance of my fabulous narrator, David Monteath), the delays were due to me and holiday schedules. As some of you may have heard, Sony Pictures Entertainment was hacked just before Thanksgiving and my husband is in one of the key departments responsible for getting the company's computers back up and running again. Holy bananas, what a freakin' nightmare! He's been working 12 hours a day, six days a week since the hack and only had Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's days off, with an isolated day or two here and there either working from home or off of work. Well, unfortunately, it took it's toll on him and he's been home sick for the last two and a half weeks. Our household was pretty much turned upside down because of this cyberattack. Fuckers. Pardon the language, but geez.
Anyway, we're back on track again and almost done with the final edits of the audiobook. My apologies to those who have been waiting for their prizes, where I've awarded this audiobook in some recent promotions and events. It's coming! I promise!!
To give you a taste of the audiobook, I'm now releasing (below) the 5-minute sample that will be on Audible once the audiobook is live. You'll get to hear David's AWESOME Scottish accent and Broderick MacDougal will finally have a voice!!!!! Cross your legs, ladies, so you can bear the heat!! I've been swooning over here listening to the hunky Scottish Vampire I've been writing about for so many years. Just so you know, the quality you'll get when you get the actual audiobook will be better. I had to take the quality down just to get it to upload and play on my site. Enjoy!!! Drum roll…..
The music, titled “Celtic Flame” by Stathum Summers at AudioJungle, is what you'll hear at the beginning of each chapter. I hope it lends some Scottish atmosphere to the novels. Click on the title of the song to hear the whole version. I hope to be posting some other music on my site for a soundtrack to my books.
You may notice the cover above says, “New Adult Version.” As a reminder, I've edited the text of the book for a “softer” version of the sexual encounters, so…unfortunately…you won't be getting all the glistening-folds details you'd get in the full eBook/printed novel. I did this to not only save my poor narrator from having to read the erotic scenes (LOL), but also to open my books to a younger audience. Instead of this being the X-rated version of my novels, the audiobook will be the NC-17 version, so parental discretion is still advised.
I hope you enjoy this sample of the upcoming audiobook. Again, thank you all for your patience!! I'll keep you posted on the progress.
Woo hoo!!! Please leave comments below! I'd love to hear what you think.
Cheers!

What a wonderful voice I will also have a voice Broderick McDougal. He sounds so smooth. Yummy. Thanks for the sample. The music is very representative of Celtic harp.
I would love to hear some more of the music that you listened to while writing. Thanks so much.

Thanks, Pamela!! I’m glad you like the music. And OMG…wait until you hear the love scenes!! Even though I’ve toned them down, David’s voice almost made me cream my jeans!!! LOL! *Arial fans herself* GAWD I can’t wait until this is available! Enjoy!! I hope to post a list of music and samples on the site soon. Thanks for letting me know your interest!
