It’s been several months since I last posted on my blog. Those of you who are friends will know why that is. However, I haven’t stopped writing and now have several projects in the pipeline. One of those is to release the books in the Lady Amelia Saga as audiobooks. ‘The Duchess of Sydney’ came out last year but there has been a delay in producing the others. Now, however, ‘The Finding of Eden’, narrated by Abigail Langham is out.
And Abigail is over halfway through the third audiobook in the Lady Amelia series, ‘The Other Place’.
It’s been an interesting experience finding a narrator on ACX and seeing (and hearing!) the progress until the final product. First, I had to send off a passage from the book to ACX and anyone interested in auditioning to be my narrator posted their recording. Over the next few days, I received about a dozen recordings. Abigail was the first to reply and by far the best, so I accepted her, and she’s proved to be an excellent choice. She’s professional, easy to talk to and has a wonderful voice!
When Abigail had finished recording all the chapters, I listened to the entire book so I could approve it, and the finished product was submitted to ACX. Shortly after, it was available on Amazon and also on Audible. You can find ‘The Duchess of Sydney’ here on Amazon and here on Audible .
Betrayed, maliciously accused and transported. Will she ever be free?
Betrayed by her family and convicted of a crime she did not commit, Georgiana is sent halfway around the world to the penal colony of Sydney, New South Wales. Aboard the transport ship, the Lady Amelia, Lieutenant Francis Brooks, the ship’s agent becomes her protector, taking her as his “sea-wife”, not because he has any interest in her but because he has been tasked with the duty.
Despite their mutual distrust, the attraction between them grows. But life has not played fair with Georgiana. She is bound by family secrets and lies. Will she ever be free again – free to be herself and free to love?
‘The Finding of Eden’ is here on Amazon and here on Audible.
Torn from her family. Transported as a convict. Will she ever find a home?
1782 – the final year of the Bonner family’s good fortune. Eva, the eldest child of a respectable London watchmaker becomes guardian to her sister, Keziah, and brother, Henry. Barely more than a child herself, she tries to steer a course through a darker side of London she hadn’t known existed. But her attempts are not enough to keep the family together and she is wrongfully accused of a crime she didn’t commit and transported to the penal colony of Sydney, New South Wales on the Lady Amelia.
Treated as a virtual slave, she loses hope. Little wonder that when she meets Adam Trevelyan, a fellow convict, she refuses to believe they can find love.
And very soon, ‘The Other Place’ will be available in audiobook too.
