FIVE-PART INVENTION

Earphones Award Winner

by Andrea J. Buchanan | Read by Elizabeth Wiley, Jayme Mattler, Susan Hanfield, Jackie Meloche, Jane Oppenheimer

Fiction • 14.25 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2022

Buchanan’s debut novel unfolds like a symphony as it examines the impact of trauma on five generations of women. Five talented narrators breathe life into these complicated survivors. Elizabeth Wiley, as Lise, the matriarch, has an immigrant’s accent as she reveals her traumatic truth to her adult daughter, Anna, through a letter that weaves through the stories of her descendants. Susan Hanfield’s Anna mourns the mothering she missed in her childhood while mothering Pauline, the girl she is raising as her own. Jane Oppenheimer portrays Pauline’s neediness as she struggles to feel connected. Jayme Mattler spotlights Hope’s curiosity and insightfulness as she spends spring break with the grandfather she never knew. Jackie Meloche delivers Zoey’s self-acceptance as love triumphs over trauma. N.E.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2022]

BeTheLight_Be the Light that You Are: Ten Simple Ways to Transform Your World with Love by Debra Landwehr Engle, published by Dreamscape Media,  is a book that teaches exactly that! Engle offers 10 ways in which we can make simple changes in our thoughts, words and actions that will not only help us to walk in love, but encourage others to do the same. 

Be the Light that You Are  was not only a joy to narrate, but the many nuggets of wisdom contained within this audiobook stayed with me long after I finished working on it!  Engle gently encourages us to utilize our higher mind in all areas of our life, thereby teaching us how we can foster self-love, remove self-doubt that may be holding us back and begin to live our lives as we were meant to.

Today is the audiobook release day for The Cabin, book 3 of the Manhattan Stories, by Donna Mabry!  I’ve had so much fun narrating this series for Dreamscape Media. Part of the joy for me, has been getting to know these wonderfully drawn characters that Donna Mabry has so beautifully created, and then having the opportunity to travel through the generations with each of them. From Jessica, to Pillsbury Crossing to The Cabin. It’s been an incredible journey that I won’t soon forget.

The Cabin is now available on Audible.com and at Amazon!

Step back in time to Manhattan, New York, 1869 and meet JESSICA – out today!!

Jessica

Manhattan, New York, 1869 – I have always loved time period pieces, in all media forms, whether it be a novel, a piece of music or a movie. Perhaps it’s my classical theatre background, I’m not sure. What I do know, is that it was with great joy that I returned from Manhattan, New York, 2015 to learn the wonderful news that I would be narrating JESSICA by Donna Mabry for Dreamscape Media.

I have loved working on this first book in the Manhattan Series and I’m so excited to celebrate today’s audiobook release day of JESSICA.

Here is a short descripton to give you an idea as to what this beautiful story is all about. Jessica grabbed my heart from the moment my eyes met the very first page. I hope she’ll do the same to yours. Enjoy!

“Wealthy heiress Jessica McCarthy desperately wants to be married and have a family. A rogue and a scoundrel, Zachary Belk is the only one who has proposed. Even though her father warns her that Zachary won’t make a good husband, she marries him. She soon discovers that her father was right. When the stock market crashes, and both families are left penniless, Zachary seeks a new fortune on a property he owns in another Manhattan, in Kansas. They are only there a short time before he deserts her. With a new baby, Jessica must learn to survive and support her family in an unfamiliar frontier land with only her faith and determination to guide her.”
