Today is the one-year anniversary for the audiobook releases of books 1 & 2 in the Vows series. Woo! 🎉 So of course, that’s what I’ll feature for my Throwback Thursday post. The ebooks for ’Til Death Do Us Part and From This Day Forward were first released on April 3, 2016 and August 6, 2016, respectively. They came out together in a single trade paperback edition under the title ’Til Death …
’Til Death Do Us Part is kind of three stories in one. For a portion of the book the MCs, Henry and Sam, are separated with Sam thinking Henry had died. While they are apart, we get Henry’s story of survival, Sam’s story of grief and moving on, and at the beginning of each of these chapters where the two are apart, we get flashback scenes chronicling highlights from their …
It’s hard to believe it’s been two full years since the release of my first novel after a seven-year hiatus from writing. It’s been a busy and fairly productive couple of years since then. I hadn’t originally pictured ’Til Death Do Us Part being part of a series, but it ended up spawning a followup novelette, a short story, and a spinoff novel! It’s now available in EBOOK, PAPERBACK, and AUDIOBOOK …
It’s past time I posted a roundup of the To Love and To Cherish and Vows Box Set Audiobook reviews! To Love and To Cherish Lora at Sarah’s Reading Corner rated it 4 out of 5 stars for story, narration, and overall, and said: “This story had it’s ups and downs, but I so enjoyed listening to how much Emmitt cared for Nash and how much Nash came to realize …
Today’s Flash Fiction Friday scene uses the word left in the comments of last week’s post: nervous Once again, I didn’t add any additional words from a random word generator. I already had enough inspiration about what I wanted to do with the scene. I did manage to make this single word the very first on in the scene, though. 😁 I used those words to continue and conclude the “ALTERNATE …
Today’s Flash Fiction Friday scene uses the 2 words left in the comments of last week’s post: Batman – lunch I didn’t add any additional words from a random word generator this time.

All the reviews from the audiobook tour have posted (actually they’ve been up for a while, but I’ve been sidetracked), so it’s time for a roundup post! As reviews tend to be, they’re a mixed bag, but mostly favorable. Here are all the links—the good, the bad, and the ugly (and some outstanding, too!): At Sarah’s Reading Corner, Lora wasn’t a fan of the narration, but said: “I enjoyed the team …

I up and clicked on the final approval button for the ’Til Death Do Us Part audiobook yesterday. And it looks like I’ll be doing the same for From This Day Forward within a couple days, so if the FAQs on the ACX/Audible site are to be believed, you should be seeing the first one in 7-14 days, and the second one shortly thereafter. Although, since Book 2 is significantly shorter, …

This is the 20th flashback scene, found at the beginning of chapter 22. ’Til Death Do Us Part is available individually in ebook and print formats, and as part of an ebook box set. Look for the audiobook release (probably) in late September.

This is the 19th flashback scene, found at the beginning of chapter 21. There is only one more after this one. I’m going to have to cast my vote for the original this time. The purpose of the scene was to show Henry …
The Vows Series audiobook project is moving along right on schedule (Voice Talent: David Gilmore). I’ve got some shiny new audiobook covers, and now I need to get busy lining up promo and reviews. The covers for ’Til Death Do Us Part, To Love and To Cherish, and for the Vows Box Set, will look familiar. They’re simply the ebook/paperback covers reformatted for the square audiobook requirements. But the audiobook …
