From the Valley to the Mountaintop — “Victory in the Valley” is Now on Audio!

Posted on by

Have you ever felt like you were stuck in a valley?

It may be in your health, finances, relationships, career, or perhaps your faith.

My guess is yes — so have I.

Valleys don’t have to be a place of fear. Yes, they can be a time of struggle and battle — but they can also be a time of rest, peace, rejuvenation, and growth. Anything worth having is worth fighting for. If we reframe what being in a valley looks like, that time of slowing down, pausing, and catching our breath can become the springboard to our next breakthrough. So keep going. ✨

I’m always so grateful whenever I have the opportunity to narrate one of Jane Hamon’s books — and Victory in the Valley is truly a lifeline for the soul. This book is about finding hope, purpose, and God’s presence right in the middle of our spiritual battles. Jane leads us through scripture and into the hills and valleys of our own lives, and shows us how God’s gentle Spirit walks us through them — from the low places to the mountaintops — giving us the tools to let this valley season lead to our greatest joy and breakthrough.

✨Congratulations on your new release, Jane Hamon — and thank you to ChristianAudio and RB Media for trusting me with this powerful book.

Victory in the Valley is now available wherever you get your audiobooks! 🎧

The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians_

For as long as I can remember, I’ve cherished the moments spent wandering through bookstores, or engrossed in research at the library.  Being part of James Patterson and Matt Eversmann’s latest release, The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians, alongside an amazing cast of narrators, is not only such an honor, but also incredibly special. 

The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians delves into the true stories of the extraordinary individuals who enrich our libraries and bookstores daily.  It’s a tribute to those who, with a single recommendation, can open up new worlds to us.   

Here’s just a glimpse of the many heartwarming exchanges in this book between patrons and our book heroes:

“My goal, my passion, is to become a special kind of matchmaker – matching people with books.” – Kelly Moore, librarian

“‘I haven’t read in years.’  … We know just how to help. We hand the long-lost reader a new book and the world opens up again.” – Exchange between library patron and bookseller

“‘I’ll never forget the day I met you,‘ the woman tells me. She smiles. ‘You have changed my life.’“  – Library patron to her local librarian

“Making these personal connections is so important.  It’s not about selling books; it’s about making a community.” – Suzanne Lucey, bookseller

Heartfelt thanks to P.J. Ochlan and Hachette Audio for the opportunity to be a part of this treasure trove of stories.  The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians: True Stories of the Magic of Reading is now available on Audible, Amazon and wherever you get your books.  

 

The McQuaid family saga continues as FALLING FOR THE COWGIRL releases on audio!

Posted on by

cowboy4-WPFeature-300x224Colorado Territory.  June 1869.  A young woman disguised as a man.  A bounty hunter hiding his identity.  A dangerous war criminal pretending to be one of South Park’s own.  A love that will no longer be denied.  This ain’t no ordinary rodeo, folks – this is Colorado Cowboys, Book Four.  So excited to celebrate the audiobook release of Falling For The Cowgirl written by Jody Hedlund and published by Tantor Audio!

This fourth installment in the McQuaid family saga was so much fun to narrate!  I have adored the character of Ivy McQuaid since we first met her in book one,  and Falling For The Cowgirl centers squarely on the romance between Ivy McQuaid and Jericho Bliss, a romance that has been steadily gaining speed until it can no longer be contained.

Ivy McQuaid is no ordinary heroine … she’s a tomboy through and through, peppered with a whole lot of sass, and known as foolish, and impulsive and wild.  Paired with handsome, no-nonsense Jericho Bliss, a cowhand turned bounty hunter, sparks fly whenever these two get around each other.

Book four opens with Ivy, now almost nineteen, disguised as a man, in the middle of a cowhand competition – or what would be known today, as a rodeo. The problem is, it’s 1869 and women are not allowed to participate in this type of competition.  Never one to let a little detail like this stop her, Ivy disguises herself as a young school teacher, under the alias of Buster Bliss.  So far so good. This plan is working great.  That is … it was – until she spots her childhood infatuation, Jericho Bliss, at the competition.  Holy Saint Peter.  Ivy hasn’t seen Jericho for almost two years, not since he left town and took her heart with him … again.

Meanwhile, Jericho is also pretending to be someone he’s not.  Currently undercover as a bounty hunter, he’s tracking a dangerous war criminal, whom he suspects is hiding in South Park.  Things heat up a might when Jericho and Ivy’s eyes meet after she almost plunges to her death in a Roman-style riding competition!  Realizing he’s recognized her, and unable to take the risk of Jericho blowing her cover, Ivy quickly exits stage left, grabs her horse and hightails it out of there, hoping to escape a meeting with Jericho.  There is never any escaping, where Jericho is concerned, however … probably why he’s such a great bounty hunter!  He’s fuming at what almost happened to Ivy and chases after her with the intent of giving her a piece of his mind for putting herself in such danger.  But that’s the funny thing about the mind … it can quickly be overtaken by the heart.  And this love – a love that has been vehemently denied by both parties for years – well … it might finally, and ultimately, have its way …

Falling For The Cowgirl is now available on audio at Audible and Amazon.
