Special Edition Audiobook!
We receive a lot of inquiries from readers about audiobooks - when we'll be producing them, who will narrate them. I'm thrilled to announce that production on The Awaken Saga has begun!
We're working on Awaken the Dawn first. The book will be read by Savannah Gilmore, and she'll be recording Dawn to Dusk for us as well. Friends, supporters and backers have a chance to grab a special edition copy of this audiobook THREE MONTHS before the Audible and Apple Books release. This extraspecial edition also includes bonus scenes woven into the story (for a seamless listening experience) and limited edition scene art!
This linktree will take you to the Swoonworthy Suspense campaign where you can pick up this special early edition: Linktr.ee/BackFLD
P.S. Since First Light of Dawn is told from Maksim's perspective, we're on the hunt for a masculine, articulate, brooding voice to narrate that book. Stay tuned for more on that soon!
