Xe Sands's Blog: Confessions of a Obsessive Narrator - Posts Tagged "romance"

Hello!

This fall, I recorded my 50th audiobook narration, Magnificence, by Lydia Millet. This is a big milestone for me, and to celebrate and give back to the listeners who've made it possible, I'm holding a week-long blog hop and series of giveaways of audio and (wait for it)...HOMEMADE COOKIES!

...because savvy narrators know that the way to a listener's ears is through their stomach...so....

Here's the schedule of festivities. I'd love to have you join me!

Heart of Atlantis by Alyssa Day




Well that was a great ride! I can see why Day has a legion of fans for the Warriors of Poseidon series.

And for those who say that Quinn is annoying and unlikable? I'm going to say, quite horribly I'm afraid - suck it up! Personally, I love a heroine that is tough, sarcastic and will do anything she needs to do in order to survive (while secretly dying inside). We need them to counter the ultra-sweet, innocent heroines who also have their place.

So Quinn, honey? *mwah* Love you almost as much as Evy *ducks to avoid being pummeled by Evangeline*

Now to do justice to all these characters who've been waiting a long time for this wrap-up...and for the fans who have patiently waited for this particular love story. I'll do my very best for y'all...

Hello All!

Just noticed that HighBridge Audio is offering The Art Forger by B.A. Shapiro as their Featured Audio Giveaway.

Great chance to read/listen to a wonderful story. This one inspired me to learn more about art, and even appreciate it differently. Not to mention I could relate to the main character and how we might talk ourselves into just about anything for another shot at the future we've dreamed about. This was most definitely one of my favorite projects to work on in 2012.
