Great For Authors of Any Level

Revisado: 10-01-21

Joanna and Mark give excellent advice for new and established authors. Listening to their narration is like sitting down with them in a bar and drinking up their sensible wisdom to survive this publishing business without going crazy. Relax and enjoy the read.

Great Storyteller!

Revisado: 09-18-21

Wayne Stinnett is a great storyteller who has a terrific narrator in Nick Sullivan--a wonderful writer in his own right! STEADY AS SHE GOES is the 21st book in Jesse McDermitt's adventure series. (I've read or listened to all of them!) I love Jesse and all the other characters, each very distinct. (And Nick is great with the variety of voices!) In this book, Jesse takes a new role, not only as a captain of a "research" ship but also as a new adoptive dad. New characters are joining Jesse, and I'm hoping its not the last of them in future books. Without spoiling it for the listener, I will only say there is a subplot that brought tears to my eyes. In addition to the Caribbean locations I love to hear about, I thoroughly enjoy the fine details of ships, cars, firearms, the Keys and military history. Highly recommend!

Fascinating true life backdrop

Revisado: 08-08-20

I loved how the story-lines of three female fictional characters were woven together during the time of a real hurricane that destroyed so much of the Florida Keys. I was vaguely aware of the history but this novel brought it to life in harrowing detail, including the veterans' camps (which was new to me). The three narrators did an excellent performance of the three female characters.

Another great Gaslight Mystery!

Revisado: 06-24-20

I love everything about Victoria Thompson's Gaslight Mystery series, from the growing cast of characters to the Victorian New York setting to the murder mystery. Oh yes, and the interesting author note at the end that gives a little more background about a specific historical event and/or people in the book. In MURDER ON PLEASANT AVENUE, Gino is accused of murder and Frank & Sarah Malloy set out to prove their friend is innocent. I thoroughly enjoyed the writing and the narration!

Touching Novel with Beautiful Narration

Revisado: 05-10-20

Diane Chamberlain has penned another great masterpiece in THE STOLEN MARRIAGE about a Baltimore student nurse in the 1940s who makes the biggest mistake of her life that upturns many lives, including her own. Hearing more about the polio epidemic during our current Covid-19 pandemic lock down is exceptionally poignant. Ms. Chamberlain included a real polio hospital in Hickory, North Carolina that added a deep richness of authenticity.

Narrator Susan Bennett is one of the best narrators I've heard in a long time. She has a way of making the story come to life with subtle emotion and smooth intonations that imbues the WRITER'S voice instead of drawing attention to herself as the narrator. I'm already planning to purchase more audio books narrated by Ms. Bennett!

I'm addicted to the Gaslight Mysteries!

Revisado: 06-13-19

With Frank & Sarah on their honeymoon, I was curious how this story would play out with Gino & Maeve as the main characters. It was just as wonderful as all the other books in the series! Loved it!

Stunningly Honest

Revisado: 10-19-18

My grief therapist recommended this book for us to discuss the mother-daughter relationship as well as the betrayal of incest. For me, Sally Field's career struggles and successes made a fascinating backdrop to the very real, very human drama of her personal life.

Wonderfully Healing!

Revisado: 07-23-18

Kristine Carlson presents a wonderful perspective about loss as it changes us into a new life, whether it is after losing a spouse (as she did) or child, as well as loss through divorce or betrayals. It is beautifully uplifting. Her own narration adds a sense of authenticity, hearing her own voice speak of the worst and best experiences.

I was drawn to this book because of my familiarity with Joseph Campbell's brilliant "Hero's Journey" as well as my loss of my husband eighteen months ago. The audio book has a PDF workbook to aid in answering personal questions as a means to figure out your own path.

I highly recommend!

Would be a great TV series!!

Revisado: 05-23-18

I'm hooked on this series! Mrs. Sarah Brandt--Victorian widow and midwife--donates clothes to a mission for wayward young women, only later to be asked by Sergeant Frank Malloy to identify one of them found dead in the New York City park. As Sarah's friend, he recognized her hat and suit on the dead woman. Thus starts the search for the killer.

I loved the twists and turns. Victoria Thompson is a wonderful writer!
