I've just begun to listen to the audio book edition of my new romantic suspense novel, Devil's Dance. Wow. Narrator Andrea Bates sure got it right. You can feel the terror of the kidnapped seventeen year old Jen Connor as she awakens from a drugged stupor only to find she's been sold to a high-class brothel.
I'm an avid audio book listener and even though this one is mine, I highly recommend it as an excellent audio book that will grab you and won't let go until the end.
Even then, it's not over, because in November the sequel, The Devils Due, will be released by Books in Motion. You can listen to an audio clip of Devil's Dance at the publisher's website: http://www.booksinmotion.com/.
Devil's Dance is now available in trade paperback, Kindle, e-book, CD audio and MP3.
The Devil's Due will be released in trade paperback, Kindle and e-book in October.

THIS IS WHEN IT GETS EXCITING!
Right before Christmas I finished going through the pre-publication edits so the editor could send the manuscript for DEVIL'S DANCE back to L&L Dreamspell. Next comes the preparation of the galley and cover. The other day I received an e-mail from Books in Motion. I didn't think they would be recording the audio book until the 2nd quarter of 2010, but lo and behold, they are ready to record and it looks like all formats will be released at the same time.
How cool is that? After fourteen years, the book will be reality, with the second book in the set, THE DEVIL'S DUE, to follow shortly afterwards.
I can't wait to see the cover, and of course hold the book in my hand. DEVIL'S DANCE is dedicated to all of the young girls and women who have and have not survived kidnapping and/or rape.
The fictional story of Jen Connor's struggle to rise above what happened to her is not that different than what is happening all the time in reality. This book is set in 1956, when Jen is seventeen years old, and follows her life to the point where it is finally getting back on track after a series of tragedies. This is the story of a scared, intimidated girl becoming a self-confident woman and going on to help others.
When I said it is still happening, only a few months ago there was a story on TV about a teen who had been kidnapped by her good friend's father and sold into a brothel. That girl managed to escape. It never seems to end, and I am happy to shine a spotlight on this in the hope of raising awareness. It's much different now than it was in 1956 in most ways, but this is something that seems to prevail.
Her story picks up in THE DEVIL'S DUE and evolves into a mystery.
