The new fantasy audiobook is at long last here – narrated by the amazing Jeff Hays! Check it out 😉
Narcel’s enslavers took everything from him: his family, the woman he loves, and his freedom. All he has left is his will to live and a burning hatred for his masters.
(“Relentlessly hypnotic and addictive pacing,” Matthew Ritter, writer of Retropunk and on the Walking Dead video game) (more…)
Check out my quick cover reveal/ promo clip for Hounds of Light:
From author of the bestseller Reclaiming Honor books (A Kurtherian Gambit series), with Michael Anderle
Katherine thought that by taking on the leader of the Hounds of God, she’d be done with them. She didn’t know that the werewolf influence had spread deep throughout the country, and maybe the world.
Hunting down werewolves is one thing, but when a dark vampire comes calling, they find they must seek help.
Will Katherine and her new clan of two werewolves and a half-vampire be enough to take on such levels of evil?
Preorder Price: $0.99, and then it’ll go up to $3.99!Â
PS – Audiobook for Hounds of God is done, and should appear on Audible/iTunes/Amazon any day now. Follow me on Facebook to make sure you don’t miss it! www.Facebook.com/JustinSloanAuthor
Following an awesome review of my book BACK BY SUNRISE, AudiobookReviewer is doing a giveaway – 5 #FREE Audiobooks!
This story was a lovely parable about the nature of death in the life of a young child. Brooke absolutely adores her father and when he goes away on active duty for the military and doesn’t come home, she’s distraught. He promised her that he would come home to finish painting birds and woodland creatures on the mural in her bedroom but now he can never do that.
As you can tell from the synopsis, Brooke turns into a bird when she puts on the necklace she finds from her father following his death and when she doesn’t make it back home by sunrise as the note she finds with it instructs her to do, she cannot turn back into her human form.
While she is stuck in her bird form, she feels an even greater sense of helplessness than she’s been feeling since the death of her father. She finds that making new friends eases her burden, especially when faced by a greater evil hat stands between her and becoming human again to rejoin her family.
She meets Roy, a kind young bird who teaches her how to use her wings and shares with her the loss of his father and Timmy, a mouse with his own sad story who teaches her to think about the feelings of her family as well as her own.
The message in this story comes through loud and clear, that friends and family are important in times of bereavement and that though the pain feels personal and lonely, other people have gone through the same thing too and others may be sharing in your grief.
What I like most about this story is that it doesn’t come across as sad, it is the story of a child on a magical adventure and coming across challenges but coming through the other side. The fairytale quality of the writing takes the edge off the painful topic and feels comfortably familiar.
I would definitely recommend this story for a primary aged child going through a bereavement or even to children in general to help them understand the concept of loss.
Rebecca Greene brought a great energy which would easily keep a child’s attention and lightened the mood of the story. Her character voices were very entertaining and she made Brooke’s grief seem very real, her performance and the production quality of this audiobook were second to none.
