Audiobooks bring accessibility

By

Making books accessible has been on my mind, and with so many different formats – ebooks, print, and audiobooks, I knew something had to change…

and I’m so happy finally to share the great news!!!

This month, I’ve been thinking about accessibility, especially when we feel so alone and have so many things happening.

Audiobooks provide inclusion and are a new way to read my books!


So, after much thought and figuring out the how, I came up with my solution: Audiobooks.

Not just one audiobook, but getting them all done so that people can read with print, ebook, or even listening. 

It will allow you to journey with me whenever and wherever you are. 

So, with that in mind, I’ve uploaded the first full audiobook on Youtube to give readers a chance to enter this magnificent world.

I have several available for sale- both with human narration and those created with AI. The AI is very well done for google, and I think it will be a game changer in accessibility and inclusiveness.

And to get you started, I’m offering the first one, Hellbent, for free on Youtube for August! I love how AI-generated storytelling has improved over the years, too.

Hellbent is a Norse-mythology inspired fantasy.

What happens when Thor, the Norse god of Thunder, pulls me out of my mundane life by claiming me as the Chosen One? Find out in Hellbent!

A little bit of kindness inspires characters

By

This is one of those stories that has taken a bit. One of my favorite characters is Harley from The Hell Chronicles. When I was in college, I met a man who was brawny, strong and had a heart of gold.

We’d spend hours talking on the phone, and a part of Harley is based on that purity, that joy. Sometimes the voices in our heads lead to our forfeiture. But sometimes, writing gives us a chance to do that deep shadow work to know that we are worthy of love — of giving it, and receiving it.

That in that beautiful imperfection, in the darkness of doubt, we find comfort and respite. In all of those years of being told I wasn’t good enough, he looked at me and said I was. I will never forget that.

I haven’t spoken to him since 9/11 when somehow I made sure that he was fine, and he was. You never know who’s life you may have touched by your kindness (or when you’ll wind up in a book because of that pure heart and compassion). Today I am back in Harley’s head, and his emotions are so pure… just woah!

This is from today’s writing session: Harley loved Hel with his every passing breath. Time was irrelevant, but still, in the body of a 24-year-old man, he’d tolerated bullshit, such falsehoods, and abuse, but it was the lost leading other sheep over the cliff to shamanic drumbeats.

Love wasn’t a curse or a burden, but something to treasure, the most valuable of words, of actions and sentiments. Men fought wars to win a woman’s affections, without patronizing them, without disrespect, but with uttermost care. They’d bruise knuckles and egos to rescue untamed hearts, and die on their swords for that one thing, the uninhibited love of a good woman.

And that is what Hel was.

New genre trend: Supernatural Prisons

By

Don’t follow the pack; be a trendsetter!

I woke up with this resonating loudly in my ears. I bounded out of bed and raced down to write today’s email. Yes, I am ecstatic to have such good news to share.

I’m EXCITED to announce that I’ve joined with a group of authors to create a new genre trend—supernatural prisons.

Coming from a legal background (as a former paralegal, I’ve definitely spent my share of hours in prisons, around prisons, talking about prisons and prisoners), and as my world continues to grow, it just made sense to create this part of it.

We’ve come together to form the boxed set called Hexes and Handcuffs. The goal is to help each other by promoting this new content. And the best part is we are doing it for our readers, like you, who love our worlds and how they’ve developed and continue to grow and change.

As a huge thank you, we’ve set this amazing set of stories to free for you to devour, share with your friends and family, share with the world if you’d like, and help us find new readers who might enjoy supernatural prisons.

Get hexed, handcuffed, and held prisoner!

For my tale, Captive Souls, I’ve taken us back to the Hell Chronicles World, when the gods come to town and wreak havoc. This story is set in the five year time game between Hellbent and Helltown.

Here is the blurb for Captive Souls:

Captive Souls, as a solo title, will be released at a later date, once the next book in its series is ready!

The gods are real, and they don’t care about us!

Kristen should be enjoying her final year in college, but everything changed when the dark elves invaded. The invaders destroyed the world as she knew it. America fell, and the magical occupiers now rule with an iron fist.

Caught up in the rebel factions, Kristen is captured when a mana shipment meant for the sick and injured freedom fighters runs afoul.

Kristen must keep her wits about her to handle her entrance into the Supernatural Prison, and a strong right hook to ensure she survives to fight another day!

Escape into Captive Souls by USA Today bestselling author Tina Glasneck, a Hell Chronicles story from the series readers are calling “riveting.”
