#45-Two New Books & an Oldie

01 AStudyInScarletThe Destined_Cover

Seasons of Change

This week’s podcast looks at the next two releases from Narration by George and looks back to a still-exciting-to-listen-to release from 2014.

  • A Study in Scarlett is the first of the Sherlock Holmes novels by Arthur Conan Doyle.  Production has begun on this novel with release expected in March.
  • The Destined is a new novel from two new authors, Glenn Eidson and Brent Hurst.  This young adult release is exciting for any age and will be an exciting listen.
  • Seasons of Change is an exciting listening experience.  The United States Government has collapsed.  Mobs and gangs are trying to remake the eastern part of the country into their turf.  Ordinary citizens are just trying to stay low and not be enslaved.  Michael is one of those just trying to be unnoticed.  Until….  You have to read the book to find the rest of the story!

#43-Looking Back, Looking Forward

2015 and 2016 year written on sandy beach sea. Wave washes away 2015. The concept of 2015 is gone, come the new year 2016.

CoverFor the opening of any new year, looking back and looking forward in assessment is always interesting.  Looking back, we see the accomplishments and failures of the year.  And we look forward in wonderful expectation of what the new year will hold.  So, it is with Narration by George.  I look back at the titles that are available.  I look forward to new distribution channels and new authors.  And I start with an interview with author Donna Patton.  Take a listen!

Knighthawke and Knighthawke: Vanishing Shadows combine romance, action-adventure, and science fiction to tell the compelling story of Michael Weber.  Then, we look at some historical fiction with The Declaration of Independence Series: John Hancock.

The Roman’s Quest Interview – part 1

Anne Baxter-CampbellRomans Quest cover 1DSCF1381-WEBThis week, I interviewed Anne Baxter Campbell and Trish Horner about the latest Narration by George Audio Book release, The Roman’s Quest.  Anne is the author of this very fine novel.  Trish was the narrator for the female characters and the female point-of-view narratives.  We talked about the novel and about the faith in God that is evident throughout and central to the book.  You’ll hear examples of everything mentioned.  There is so much to hear that this is only the first part of the interview.  Next week, for part two, Anne interviews Trish and me.

#27-The Roman’s Quest

The Romans Quest coverIn The Roman’s Quest, by Anne Baxter Campbell, we meet Centurion Julius who has eyes for a young Jewish woman, Miriam.  Miriam also has eyes for Julius, but a Roman is not who her father intends for her.  Miriam is a pious Jewish girl, determined to do the right thing by her God and her parents, and she bows to her father’s wishes to betroth her to a Jewish fisherman, James ben Zebedee.  Her heart yearns for the Roman; his heart yearns for her; but their love is impossible.  Miriam’s mother lies close to death, and her last wish is to see her daughter wed.  The marriage has to take place before it’s too late.  Woven through this story is the presence of a new prophet on the scene; a man called Jesus.

Listen to some extended excerpts from this novel.  The audiobook is coming soon from Helping Hands Press.
