SCROLL ALL THE WAY DOWN FOR THE GIVEAWAY…
Finally, the last Book of Legion is out! What a ride! Happy book birthday to Skulls & Lace!
FIVE RELEASES IN FIVE WEEKS… that’s… chaos!
I’ve only done this one other time — my Social Media Novella Serial in summer 2014. That was six novellas every two weeks, and I was a complete zombie for 12 weeks because I didn’t write them ahead of time.
I think I had maybe two ready when I pushed publish on the first one. Don’t ever do that! Lol. If you’re a writer, just don’t do it. I was writing and releasing at the same time and it was a NIGHTMARE!
THIS series was written LAST year. The audiobook has been with my production company for four months. These narrators were booked last May, I think? Maybe June. All of the graphics were made in batches months ago. All I really had to do was come up with a weekly blog post. The vibe of this time vs last time couldn’t be more different.
My world has changed so much in the last year — not just because I moved out of Colorado, that’s actually the least of it. It’s the world around us, right? Like our little dramatic lives are in one category now, and the larger CRAZY WORLD sits over there somewhere.
It’s pretty overwhelming.
That’s why people like stories. That’s why I write stories. And that’s probably why you’re here reading mine.
And I am incredibly lucky that you are. I know y’all are reading along, or perhaps you got an early omnibus copy in my Patreon and read it all at once — so the cliffs have been a thing, and I thank you very much if you read along because it means the world to me.
I have such supportive fans — lots of them. But also a core group of readers who have literally been with me since the beginning in 2013. Even a few that have been here since 2012 with my first book release ever.
The whole thing is a bit surreal to be honest. And I am grateful every day and truly do feel blessed to have the readers I do.
Rest assured, I have MORE BOOKS COMING. My next release is a MAFIA ROMANCE in ONE MONTH called HER CHAINS HER CHOICE.
AND I have already finished Book of Legion #6 and I’m working on #7 right now, because SEASON TWO of this series will be dropping weekly in August, right after the AUDIOBOOK and OMNIBUS release.
By the way, that audiobook will be well worth the wait…
TEDDY HAMILTON & SAMANTHA SUMMERS IN DUET NARRATION
So that’s it I guess — happy book birthday to Skulls & Lace, and thank you for being here.
THIS ONE WILL DESTROY YOU
Skulls & Lace is LIVE
Their love story has always been doomed—ranch heiress and outlaw biker, angel and demon, the girl in white dresses and the man covered in biblical warfare tattoos.
Savannah’s life is content. Her engagement to a senator’s son is brand. Everything has been managed, controlled, and performed to perfection.
Legion’s life is hell. His family was destroyed long before he was born. His ending predetermined long before he met the Little Ashby Princess in a silo.
They’ve been stealing moments since they were teenagers, burning for each other in a world that keeps demanding they choose sides.
Now it’s time.
Necessary reckoning.
Spectacular collision.
Brutal reality.
Time to burn it down, boys.

Every prayer gets answered. Not all of them are from God.

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR?
MY ANSWER
This is an impossible question to answer for me because I LOVE AND ADORE EVERY SINGLE NARRATOR who ever took the time to bring my characters and stories to life! EVERY BOOK of mine has an audiobook. So that’s a LOT of narrators. But I am particularly fond of:
Teddy Hamilton
Jason Clarke
Ava Erickson
Jill Redfield
Samantha Summers
CJ Mission
Troy Duran
Shane East
Will Watt
Gary Furlong
Kristin Sieh
Julia Whelan
Joe Arden
Jacob Morgan
I would say from that list – Teddy and Ava have done the most books for me. Easily in the dozens for Ava. She is my absoule first choice for a female narrator every time. I’m pretty sure Teddy is well over a dozen too. Teddy did my first book in 2015 – Anarchy Chained. Then went on to do Five and broke everyone with his talent.
But CJ has done quite a few as well. He is much loved by me and caught my ear when he took over the role of Crux in my Harem Station Series. Since then, he’s gone on to do many, many more including Sparktopia and The Rumble and the Glory.
Jill and Samantha are two of MY ABSOLUTE GO-TO WOMEN for any all narration. Jill, such a professional. Perfect every time – esp in Sparktopia and The Rumble and the Glory. And Samantha can be any character you ask her to. She was Irina in Sick Hate – oh, man. What a performance.
Troy was one of the first narrators I ever booked in 2014/15. He is the voice of FORD and MERC! (and Cort in Sick Heart too!)
Kristin Sieh is the voice of Junco – and man, did she ever nail it. This woman’s talent for accents is absolutely unbelievable. She did a cast of dozens and every voice is different.
Jason Clarke turned my Monster Romance (Damaged Gods) into a masterpiece (alongside Kristin, as that is her other name on that book)
Jacob destroyed it as Bully King and then nailed Creeping Beautiful as Zachary Webber too.
Joe has done a lot of books for me – my Fav is Gorgeous Misery and hopefully I can book him soon for something else.
Shane is always the talent! I’ve given him some CRAZY roles and he nails them every time. Especially the Harem Station series!
Gary and Will are both MASTERS – ABSOLUTE MASTERS – of the accents! Will absolutely killed it in Godslayer taking over the role of Tyse with Gary playing a whole host of manipulative ‘gods’ at the same time.
And even though Julia Whelan has only done one book with me – The Ro Bro – I will give almost anything she narrates a try, she’s THAT talented.
In case you can’t tell – I LOVE AUDIOBOOKS! And I love narrators too!
Who are your favs?

no fav
Ummmm, I’ve not listened to audio enough to have a fav narrator.
I LOVE audiobooks especially yours and listen to over 750 a year. I obviously love all of yours but would also not on the above list I’d add my love for Eric Nolan & Heather Wilds
I don’t think I have one
I love love how well you match narrators to their characters. It’s just perfect.
There is one not mentioned though and I just love his voice- Jonathan McClain. He’s done some amazing work for you, with the Sin with Me series.
Impossible question!
Top 5 in no particular order:
Teddy Hamilton
Tad Branson
Jacob Morgan
Ava Erickson
Jill Redfield
and soooo many more!!
You always have the best narrators and they are always worth the wait 💗
Ava Erickson for best female narrator!
And for male…..
Adam Gold! He is a true talent! ❤️❤️❤️
Cannot wait for the audiobooks!
I don’t usually listen to audio books, so I really cannot say who my favourite one would be.
Without a doubt Jason Clarke and Teddy Hamilton
I’ve only listened to a couple of audio books, although I’ve bought lots but I feel like Teddy is going to blow my mind putting a voice to Legion (considering reading the book did already). I can’t wait!
I don’t have a favorite at the moment.
I have so many favorites also. Shane East, Steve West, Teddy Hamilton, they have such deep rumbly voices (swoon) Tavia Gilbert, and Lorelei King
Teddy and Ava are top of my list as well. I love Troy for his deep voice.
I have never listened to an audiobook all the way through to the end. At first I didn’t enjoy them nor could I see how they could be enjoyable, but then someone helped me understand that you can change the speed which was world changing. I suggest to anyone that like I had thought that audiobooks were monotonously droned TRY PLAYING WITH THE SPEED. It really will offer a different experience.
I still am not an audiobook person because reading has always been my quiet, personal escape/ experience. Whether as a child staying quiet and out of the way or as an adult reading while the rest of the house sleeps I read to myself. I have always had books tucked into purses, pockets, sometimes my waistband. I am extremely grateful to be able to have my library on my kindle or on my kindle app on my phone. No matter where I am I can always read because it’s silent and nobody is affected by it. I realize now with new technology I could have ear buds, but I’m an old dog. I’m set in my ways. Maybe that’s something for the future if my eyes fail me. Or someone shows me how life changing they are like someone did with opening my eyes to changing the speed. Until then it’s ebooks for me.
Just a long explanation of why I don’t have a favorite narrator. 🥰
This! better explanation than I gave!
Eric Nolan is my favorite hands down!!
I don’t do audio books. I have a hard time getting into them. My brain does not process them the same way. Maybe one day I’ll give them a try again and they will work for me. One can hope.
I don’t do audio books. I love to read. O
I don’t usually listen to audiobooks but Troy Duran’s voice, ya I’m here for it
I have never listened to an audiobook so I don’t have one
I love your list!! Let’s add Corvin King and Alexander Cindese
I love audiobooks! My husband just shacks his head, I’ll be reading two different books and listening to a whole different book there. Anyway, Ava Erickson and Joe Arden probably lead a very large pack of faves.
Ava and Joe for sure my favs
Marguerite Gavin is one of my favorite narrators. she did the Kim Harrison Racheal Morgan books and she did so many voices that brought all the3 characters ALIVE.
I don’t have a frame of reference since I don’t listen to audio books, so I will just say “ALL of them”!
I absolutely love everyone of your audiobooks and all the narrators and I think they are absolutely perfection. I love to listen to an audiobook for my reread of a book especially. I think overall with all books I have listened to on audio book my favorites are Teddy Hamilton, Jason Clarke and Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor, Jill and Ava.
It’s hard to pick one but Teddy Hamilton voice is wonderful to listen to. The way he brings the character to life in my mind is amazing! He is definitely one of my favorites.
I don’t think that I have a favorite narrator.
