I've been in a bit of a creative slump recently because there have been a lot of things going on (our family cat died after 17 years, our house flooded and went through over three months of repairs, and I've been struggling with some health issues), but I'm starting to feel that spark of wanting to create something new once again.

So I pulled out my trusty video editor the other day and started playing around with the idea of creating a book trailer for my sci-fi noncon novel Pathfinder, and this is what I came up with. It's a little gritty, a little racy, and I think it captures the atmosphere of the novel really well. I think the music works well, and it features some clips from the audiobook that was narrated by the devilishly talented Dan Calley. I really love how it turned out. ❤️

YouTube flagged it as 18+, so you have to go to their site to watch it while you're logged in to prove you're an adult. I'm not sure if that might intrigue readers into clicking or make them not want to bother, but it is what it is.

Take a peek and give it a like if you feel so inclined. And feel free to share it with anyone you think might be interested! :)

I'm so excited about the upcoming release of the audiobook for Pathfinder! I still can't get over how good it turned out. I've had the opportunity to listen to the first few chapters of the sequel, The Ouroboros Prophecy, as Dan is recording it, and that's turning out to be just as amazing!!! ♥♥♥

Here's a teaser clip from Pathfinder to whet your appetite for more:





The audiobook should be available very soon! I'm hoping ACX will finish their QA checks and release it within the next couple of weeks. *bounces excitedly*

The recording for the audiobook for Pathfinder is done!!! Dan Calley did such an amazing job with the narration. I can't get over how good it is! Tense and edgy, dark and sexy, with the perfect blend of action and sensuality to bring my dark dystopian world of genetically imposed sexual bonds to life. I love how it turned out so very much. ♥♥♥

Now it's just a matter of waiting for ACX to finish their QA checks, and then it'll be ready to go!

So far I've listened to about a third of the chapters for Pathfinder as Dan is recording the audiobook, and I do not have words to describe how good it is!!! Think dark, sexy, dangerous, sensuous, and edgy all at the same time, with a healthy dose of gorgeously captivating thrown in for good measure. Hearing Dan Calley use his amazing voice actor talents to bring my darkly dystopian sci-fi world of ruthless crime lords and genetically compulsory sexual bonds to life is a fantasy I never even knew I had. And it is happening, folks! Swooooon.... ❤️❤️❤️

For those of you who have read the book already and are familiar with the characters, I have one more thing to say: Imagine Kalil, brought to audio life and murmuring in your ear through your headphones. Oh...my...god.
