Grace Unmasked • Now in Audiobook format

Leave a comment

On the heels of an unjust accusation, Grace flees from her country village to the anonymity of London. Although she intends to seek sanctuary with her cousin Joe Fiddick, she discovers he’s also suffered a setback and needs more help than she can offer. Desperate, she solicits assistance from Joe’s friend–the notorious rake, Lord Henley. Will the price of the handsome baron’s help be more than she’s willing to pay?

Book Two of the Mannequin Series

The bestselling book in my repertoire to date is The Mannequin, but Grace Unmasked is a close second. The reason I waited so long to make it into an audiobook is the length (and attendant expense). The finished audiobook clocks in at ten hours, 43 minutes, but each moment is an auditory treat, voiced by the lovely actress and narrator, Helen Taylor. Have a listen:

After the narration was underway, Helen’s part of England got hit with a heat wave. The poor lass was obliged to press forward in her scanties, wrapped in a moist towel. My hat is off to her professionalism, carrying on in such difficult circumstances! Keep calm and carry on.

Grace Unmasked (audiobook) is available at Amazon, Audible, and Apple.

THE WITTIER SISTER

Leave a comment

Inspired by her accomplished elder sister, Blanche Starhope is determined to be known for more than her looks. When she has the opportunity to visit her literary cousin in Oxford, she brings along her dour maid, Velma, as a companion. Unfortunately, when the cousin is called out of town, Blanche is faced with a dilemma; she yearns to see the sights, but if she remains in Oxford unchaperoned, word might get back to her father. Against Velma’s objections, Blanche dresses her as a lady and Blanche dons a disguise as her maid. As they take in all that Oxford has to offer, they attract two of the most handsome—and exceedingly inappropriate—men they’ve ever met.

The Wittier Sister is Book Two of The Starhope Sisters Series, which shares a common world with The Mannequin Series. Although The Wittier Sister is scheduled for release on February 28th, you can pre-order it right now at a special, low price until then HERE.

I’ve been spending much of my time this year getting my portfolio of books in shape. Not only do I have two new audiobook projects in the works (to be narrated by the incomparable Helen Taylor), but I’ve dipped my toe in the AI arena.

Preparing a manuscript for audiobook narration, be it human or AI, is a challenge. What seems straightforward on a written page–such as which character is speaking–is not always clear to an audiobook listener. Therefore, I must edit the manuscript with additional information to make the task easier.

My personal preference, always, is human narration. Unfortunately, the cost is prohibitive for all but the most bestselling books. I’m not sure most readers know that audiobook narration with an experienced voice actor can cost approximately $190 per finished hour and up. So, for a 250 page book (6.7 hours long), the audiobook might cost upwards of $1,280 to produce. Therefore, I must approach the task of publishing audiobooks with an eye to practicality.

To that end, Rumer Has It has undergone an extensive edit to prepare the story for AI narration. It’s now available in audiobook format HERE. The paperback and ebook are available at Amazon and various other online bookstores as well.

Let me know what you think of the finished product! It was prepared with tender loving care by yours truly and I hope you enjoy it.
