It's here, my latest audiobook, The Encore, by Lauren Holmes. I'm so pumped when a book goes on sale, it feels like I've really achieved something! It's quite an interesting concept for a novel - a distant planet, analogous to Earth, is in dire trouble, the ecology of the planet is collapsing due to an invasive new plant species. They've tried everything they can to stop the total destruction of their world, and are forced to look elsewhere to find the skills and talent needed to find solutions. They need people who can think outside the box and be creative and inventive. 
Enter Earth's Connor Kane, not an entirely willing participant in this strange planet's struggle, but he's given no choice but to roll up his sleeves and do what he does best - unlock people's potential!
Have a listen to the first 5 minutes below and checkout the book on Audible.




Another day in the studio, recording the follow up to The Wrath Of Raghnall, the wonderful Raghnall's Revenge! Always important to take a break and get some fresh air and come back to the creative process with a clear head!

 The Wrath Of Raghnall, By Shona Richmond.

The Wrath Of Raghnall

This book by Shona Richmond is my first entry into the fantasy genre, and it has been a fun one to do! There's a lot of classic fantasy elements here, but with a strong female cast and leading characters that make a refreshing change to the usually male-dominated fantasy worlds. Lord Theodore Olden counts it a blessing when his old friend Bjorn the Brave arrives at the celebration of his eldest son's betrothal. Soon after his arrival, demons from Bjorn's past come back to haunt him. To this day, he knows not of who murdered his family, with only his daughter spared from the attacks on his house and a son who is seemingly back from the dead. Both houses encounter a plague of demons that were thought long gone in their quest to get to the truth and to restore Bjorn's family to their throne. For their involvement with the Vikings, bandits and mercenaries attack house Olden, leaving the house divided between their loyalties to their ally and protecting their own family. The family of cursed Vikings must find a way to beat the odds once again and to recruit new allies to take back what was stolen from them.
