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.

#19-41 Audiobooks in 41 Days

Get Caught ListeningThis week we are celebrating the privilege that I’ve had to voice 41 audiobooks in the last couple of years. If you’ve followed my Facebook or Twitter feeds, you’ll have seen a title: 41 Audiobooks in 41 Days. Each day of the week, I’m featuring a different audiobook – presented largely in alphabetical order. (There are variations for books that are part of a series or a holiday happening. )

In this podcast, I play excerpts from the books which have been featured in the past few days. This is something we’ll do until the 41 Audiobooks in 41 Days ends sometime in August.  I hope you find something that will tickle your ears!!! Enjoy!

#5-An Interview in the G-Zone

On March 10, 2015, I went into the G-Zone with Giovanni Gelati of Helping Hands Press to talk about audiGZoneobooks.  We talked about the variety of books I’ve recorded and how I deal with the emotions of a character without totally succumbing to them while recording the book.  You’ll hear about some upcoming projects as well as a sample of a recent release – Sonrise in Sweetland, volume 1-The Short Engagement. You may also hear a thing or two you didn’t know about yours truly!
