Escape with Audiobooks

 

Hello Dear Readers,

It seems as if we live in a world where everyone is in a rush to get to work on time, to drive the kiddos to extracurricular events, to meet deadlines, to squeeze in time for all of life’s necessities. In our hurry up and go life, we often neglect ourselves; especially wives and mothers. We make excuses that there’s no time to find a cozy corner to read, to enjoy nature, or to just be still and breathe.

As an author and a reader, let’s talk about reading and how to fit a few hours of escape into your busy life. Audiobooks!

Yes, you read that correctly—audiobooks.

If you don’t have time to sit with an Ebook or a paper book then here is  why you might enjoy audiobooks:

1. Convenience and Multitasking:

• Audiobooks can be listened to while doing other activities, such as driving, exercising, or doing chores, making it easier to fit reading into busy schedules. 
• This multitasking aspect can make otherwise tedious tasks more enjoyable. 

2. Accessibility:

• Audiobooks can be a great alternative for those who have difficulty reading due to visual impairments, learning disabilities, or other reasons. 
• They can also be beneficial for those who are auditory learners or prefer to absorb information through listening. 
• Audiobooks can introduce new vocabulary and improve comprehension skills, making them helpful for both native and second language learners. 

3. Enhanced Reading Experience:

• Skilled narrators can bring stories to life with their voice acting, adding depth and nuance to characters and plot. 
• Some audiobooks also incorporate sound effects and music, further immersing the listener in the story. 
• The experience of listening to a story can be different from reading, and for some, it can be a more engaging and enjoyable way to consume literature. 

4. Memory and Concentration:

• Audiobooks can help improve memory and concentration as listeners actively engage with the narrative.
• The act of listening requires focus, which can enhance the ability to process and retain information. 

5. Learning and Knowledge Acquisition:

• Audiobooks offer a wide variety of genres and topics, making it easy to explore new subjects and expand one's knowledge base. 
• They can be a valuable tool for learning new skills, languages, or historical information

6. Here is a list of my novels that are available as audiobooks:

          

  Isabelle and the Outlaw 

     Amazon       

Isabelle is accidently transported back in time to the 1800's to save an outlaw. How does she return to her own time?

McKenna’s Woman   

  Amazon  

  A very gritty tale with perverse plot twists. The anti-hero was once a gentleman but, like the heroine, left  emotionally scarred by the war between the states, especially the atrocities committed by both sides against civilians. Some groups liked the raiding and pillage well enough to continue berserk quests after formal  hostilities ceased. Redemption can come in various forms but the final question from Audra to McKenna was skirted!

  Taming the Lyon      

      Amazon

An unimaginable tragedy sends Dr. Margaret Boynton running to the African jungle in 1909. There she faces witch doctors, cannibals, and Jeremiah Lyon, great white hunter, and more dangerous than any lion.

 

                                                              

Murder in the Mist

Amazon

Murder doesn't happen in the quaint seaside village of Cole Harbor. Now a psycho is targeting women. Shh...screaming can get you dead!

                                   Shadowed Reunion

                                    Amazon

Laura Friday's investigative reporting leads her to a headless corpse and two warring drug cartels that could to lead to her own death.

You may still enjoy reading an Ebook, a paperback book, but as you can see, when life gets too busy, audiobooks is another way to enhance your daily activity.

Until we meet again,

HAPPY READING or HAPPY LISTENING!
