Bordeaux’s heart to vengeance, she does the unthinkable. Using her powers, she
erases herself from the memories of her beloved, Henrik, so that he cannot join
her hunt for the notorious pirate Captain Fredrick, Henrik’s savage father.
Shattered, Calli rebuilds herself and the crew of her parent’s ship to vanquish
her enemy, only to discover a piece of Henrik came with her after all.</span> </p>

his life, former pirate turned royal guard, Henrik, sets out with Cava’s navy
to find a woman the gods forsook and the humans fear. Medusa. Her latest
rampage of stony destruction is not mindless slaughter but self-preservation
from pirate assassins. The demi-god Perseus has put a bounty on her severed
head, seeking the power it possesses to slowly slaughter mankind.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">United by order of the crown, Calli and
Henrik must stop Perseus and his pirate accomplices before it’s too late.
Echoes of their past passion haunt their voyage, tipping them into turmoil when
humanity needs them most. Can their wounded hearts find their way back to each
other in time? Or will the barriers constructed by past choices stand in the
way as the world around them turns to stone?</span><span lang="EN"><o:p></o:p></span></p></span></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="http://tinyurl.com/hz9u3awn"><b>Add to Goodreads Here!</b></a><b> </b></span></p>

<span style="font-family: verdana; font-weight: 400;"><div style="text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">My
head snapped up. Hope fisted my heart. “My parents? You spoke to them? What did
they—”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">“I
thought <i>The Freedom</i> was pursuing
Captain Fredrick and <i>The Black Hollow</i>,”
Henrik interrupted. He took the book from my grasp and thrust it into Savina’s
beckoning fingers. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">“No.
I haven’t spoken to them.” Savina addressed me before returning her gaze to
Henrik. “And yes. They were following your father—or they are.” Savina gripped
the sides of the ledger, her knuckles whitening. “We don’t know any more than
that. Captain Fredrick’s ship and Medusa were seen in Sottom at the same time.
We think there is a connection. We thought <i>The
Freedom</i> was trailing them, but we lost contact. I don’t know where either
ship or Medusa is now. That’s why I’m waiting for Conleth to return with news.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">My
arms trembled. Where in the underworld had my parents gone?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">Savina
pointed to the wingback chairs next to a pair of end tables. “Sit.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">Henrik
guided me across the room. His calluses scratched the threads of my blouse as
he coaxed me down with gentle pressure on my shoulders. My knees wobbled, and I
flopped into the seat. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">“Is
that why Captain Niles took interest?” Henrik asked. “He has stacks of Jacarian
maps marked up with circles around mountain sides and x’s laid in front of cave
entrances.” He arched an eyebrow. “What is he looking for?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">Savina
looked down at the leather-bound book, then back up to Henrik. “Is that where
these came from?” Her voice built like a thunderclap, lifting her half out of
her seat. “Did you two board <i>The
Serpent’s Snare</i> by yourselves and steal this?” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">Before
Henrik or I could confirm or deny, the king’s voice boomed behind us. “Savina,
are you in there?” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">The
door swung open. I twisted, and the look of raw devastation marring Conleth’s
face spurred me to my feet. His black hair stood on end as if he’d been pulling
it. Creases of worry marred his lips. Behind him, my great-uncle Hermes scoured
the room like a man who’d wandered away from a shipwreck, brown eyes
red-rimmed. I’d never seen either man cry. Not much could break them, but I
knew the sort of bereavement that painted the windows to their soul’s crimson
would sever my heart as well. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">“Oh,
my gods. What happened?” Savina rounded the desk, stopping before her husband.
“Tell me, Conleth. Who’s dead?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">The
second she asked, I knew. Their missing ship, my uncles’ dried tears, the
silence. I dropped to my knees, a sob wracking my chest. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">“No,
no, no.” Impossible. My father was a demi-god born from Apollo and Calliope
with the power to heal and bring men to their knees with his song; my mother,
Lou, the fierce captain of the first all-female-crewed pirate ship, <i>The Freedom</i>. Together, they’d navigated
the seas with the greatest warriors and battled amidst the waves like gods.
Poseidon’s kingdom was their domain. No enemy could thwart them there. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">“Cal?”
Henrik called out, but Conleth quickly moved in front of him, blocking his path
to me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">Hermes
ignored everyone else. With an ease only my great-uncle possessed, he walked
over and knelt to cradle my head in his hands.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">I
fought his embrace as my chest threatened to collapse and crush my heart. I
refused to believe they were gone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">“Let
me go!” Henrik shouted at Conleth, but I didn’t dare look at him. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">“I’m
so sorry,” my uncle whispered.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">“My
parents are dead. Are you sure?” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">Hermes’s
nod tore a sob from Savina. He rubbed his thumbs under my eyes, catching the
droplets on his skin. Uncontrollable tears gushed like a river that escaped its
bed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">I
swallowed the giant knot that had twisted in my throat. “I don’t believe you.
It can’t be.” My father grew up with sirens. He swam with them. His peers
called him the Emperor of the Sea for a reason. How could he possibly die on
the water? And my mother. She embodied the tides, the very salt-water air she
breathed. How could she just be gone?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">“It’s
true.” My uncle reached for me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">I
shook my head. None of this made sense. “My brother?” Adelphi had been on <i>The Freedom</i> as well. My parents would
never let someone steal his soul away to the underworld. Not if they could help
it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">“Also
gone.” Hermes dropped his arms.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">A
burning fury surged through me, scorching my grief down to hot embers. “Who
killed my family?”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span lang="EN">My
uncle looked away for the first time, his almond-shaped eyes darting over my
head. Without meeting my gaze, he breathed, “Captain Fredrick of <i>The Black Hollow</i>.”</span><b><span lang="EN"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

</div></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Rayne has never felt this badly. She has no memory of how she got in this strange room and feels like she was run over by a truck and she is burning up. When she finally wiggles herself out of Hale's embrace she screams... and he screams. That is NOT Hale and she doesn't know how she will explain this calamity to Hale. He calling the wedding off for sure this time!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. This series is intended to be read in order, but don't dispair because Rayne is finally getting her happily-ever-after!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Rayne had no social graces. She doesn't know the etiquette that was ingrained into Hale since birth. Forks gave her hives. She was so scared that Hale would see what they saw and change his mind. He was so perfect and she was one calamity from total disaster. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">She was so excited to marry Hale. She would be happy with a small intimate ceremony with family and close friends. That she could handle. But no... Hale wanted a roof top wedding. Not just any rooftop... The roof of a NY skyscraper!!! With over 300 guests. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Even the tabloids knew she wasn't cut for this lifestyle. But did they have to be so mean about it? And then the worst calamity of all time happens. She wakes up and has a total blackout. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I was laughing so hard I could hardly breathe and then crying from the emotional impact of Rayne realizing she is leaving her old life behind. This book has all the feels and will definitely take you through an emotional wringer. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you want an action-packed, smoking-hot rom-com look no further! Highly recommend.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">CALAMITY RAYNE GETS HITCHED is book three of the CALAMITY RAYNE Series</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Get CALAMITY RAYNE GETS HITCHED today!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://amzn.to/4a6E7qt" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/4a6E7qt</a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Start the CALAMITY RAYNE Series today!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3TS0XwH" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/3TS0XwH</a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Book one is available in Kindle Unlimited and currently FREE!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Check out all my interviews/reviews for Lydia Michaels!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://readingbydeb.blogspot.com/2022/05/author-at-glance-lydia-michaels.html" target="_blank">https://readingbydeb.blogspot.com/2022/05/author-at-glance-lydia-michaels.html</a><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijxg3NtgyFRi6WqTIJD1xS7czsGYlY5bCXZKuNOkQf15lgFucUGB9jpP_S3dTUOzk9R9mvYn-Ylg07w4HLh2ERg4meGZXIOsr7l14oMCRu-Cz1RHTVD5fVt70DN03_sT3rEym-2NieoKhOhX_PSvtXKBFOZwVjHR2_g86k30PtX_KnJ_CCBAU8SZUiVBYA/s1600/1711509173821009-0.jpg"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijxg3NtgyFRi6WqTIJD1xS7czsGYlY5bCXZKuNOkQf15lgFucUGB9jpP_S3dTUOzk9R9mvYn-Ylg07w4HLh2ERg4meGZXIOsr7l14oMCRu-Cz1RHTVD5fVt70DN03_sT3rEym-2NieoKhOhX_PSvtXKBFOZwVjHR2_g86k30PtX_KnJ_CCBAU8SZUiVBYA/s320/1711509173821009-0.jpg" width="208" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Veiled & Railed is a hilarious bonus short story about Rayne and Hale's wedding night.</span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div><br /></div></div>Deborah Apodacahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16449889660085146871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405189255659667385.post-80397166150228912422024-03-27T19:15:00.009-05:002024-03-27T19:15:49.101-05:00NEW RELEASE - TOGETHER AGAIN Anthology<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="924" data-original-width="1640" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTdT83HHJc7V9czTskiteLJZEUosYsbXjJgTpARaYz9tQ1iPmRmAnxMWrKMPR-RYzHXtn8Gh_hbOzYLXaHb9m5kd8ZO12ZGMJpcvTsjXeWhif80wIhOiGqeW-i-5OPyDWH3KfX1ToWRIPLPjSosqqGD1B4eSbDlRoDW7SOXgIa2Rqdd5OCAMFQ9VgqoZE/w400-h225/BANNER.png" width="400" /></span><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span></span></p><a name='more'></a><h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;

</div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">She was on the first flight out of Florida to Oregon still in shock. This was not supposed to happen! She was finally getting the hang of adulting and finding out that <i>the sex</i> was absolutely something to be raving about when she received the phone call.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">She still couldn't understand how this could have happened. Elle, her best friend, her rock, the woman who loved her despite her crazy was in a coma. The drunk driver was in jail, but that didn't soothe Rayne since she was looking at the horrifying aftermath.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Elle was hooked up to way too many scary machines battered and bruised with half her skull showing thick stitches instead of her gorgeous hair. As hard as it was she took her first step into the hospital room. It was time to adult... she wasn't leaving until Elle was out of her coma.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">As much as she wanted to be in Florida with Hale she couldn't leave. Would their relationship survive the distance?</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. This series is intended to be read in order and are not standalone novels.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Rayne had finally made a commitment and fell in love. Despite her being a hot mess and so out of league with the gorgeous billionaire, Hale loved her. But she was ready to revert to her old ways of running away and avoidance. The thought of going back to her waitress job was like taking a step back, but she refused to leave until she knew Elle was awake and well.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">This book is action-packed and full of emotion. Rayne is an emotional trainwreck and wonders if this a case of right man, wrong time, but she knows the only choice she can make in these circumstances. There are twists and turns and Remington drops a bomb that puts even more stress on Rayne and Hale's relationship.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">These characters are amazing and I love them all. Even the cantankerous Remington.

</div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">How can a candle hold so much pressure? Rayne Meyers is sitting with her best friend Elle at their favorite coffee shop celebrating her thirtieth birthday with a chocolate muffin.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">She should have a life plan by now instead of waitressing at the same bar since she left college. Sure, she has a teaching degree, but she realized that having that much control over someone else's child was too much adulting.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Her nickname wasn't Calamity without cause. She was a wreck and her version of adulting was called avoidance. To run away from anything that meant a long-term commitment. And forget relationships... she didn't understand what the hype was about because in the few relationships she had was nothing exciting.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">So what should her birthday wish be? She needed a change. Something out of the ordinary so she can figure out her life. Looking through the discarded Rolling Stone magazine a vacation getaway sounded great... except her measly funds couldn't afford a vacation.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Then Elle told her to update her resume and apply to be a personal assistant in an exotic location. Like a paid vacation. Elle is at the gym and as she is staring at her usual eye candy is distracted by a report on CNN. Remington Davenport, the billionaire, was about to be released from the hospital and would need an assistant while he recovered.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. Warning - this series is about the calamity that is Rayne so don't expect a happily-ever-after at the of this book.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Rayne is hilarious. This book is totally her POV and the justifications in her head will keep you laughing. Remington is an egotistical pain with no moral compass that Rayne feels a fatherly affection for despite his manipulations.

</div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Grim Gates and the other members of the Devil's Reach MC were taking out the members of the Stripe Back MCs but none of them Grim's ultimate target. Then they see it, white powder flying through the Nevada desert. While Trigger and the rest of the guys sped off for the other bikers Grim was after the one who had been carrying his stolen property.</div><div><br /></div><div>The adrenaline of tearing this man apart fed on Grim's dark side. When the man refused to talk Grim changed directions when he saw a massive fire ant hill. Running back to his bike he cut the lid off a bottle, scooped it full of the angry ants and dumped it down the front of his pants.</div><div><br /></div><div>But the biker's answers just led to confusion. The theft of his drugs was only a distraction to get to the girl to find out what she knew. But he passed out before Grim could find out who had sent him and what girl they were looking for.</div><div><br /></div><div>After the last of men were dead he headed for his driver who handed him clean clothes. Grim striped out of his leather cut, tee and jeans into the bespoke suit and soft leather shoes and climbed into the back of the limosine. After ten years he was finally heading home to Vegas.</div><div><br /></div><div>The kickback of the gun snapped Kenna Lodge back and the dead man was now sprawled over her. She thrashed about trying to get the heavy body off of her while trying not to vomit from the smell of gun smoke and brandy. This couldn't be happening. Minnie came into the back room of her club to see what was going on and stopped in her tracks promising to take care of it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Kenna told her that she hadn't meant to kill him but she couldn't tell her the reasons because she wouldn't involve anyone else in the mess she found herself in.</div><div><br /></div><div>I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. This is the first book I have read by JL Drake but I have already started downloading her backlist. The secondary characters in this book are from two previous series and I definitely want to get their backstories.</div><div><br /></div><div>Grim goes from a leather cut to a bespoke suit. His family owns Indulgence a Vegas hotel and casino, but Grim is building another hotel with a club on the darker side. Grim has history with the Devil's Reach MC club and trusts them with his life and he knows they will protect his secrets.</div><div><br /></div><div>Kenna is a Hostess at Indulgence and hasn't seen Grim in years and is not happy that he is back in Vegas for good. Especially since the controlling man is now her boss. But Kenna has been doing her job without his interference in the past and she is determined that that doesn't change.</div><div><br /></div><div>This book is action-packed, full of danger and full of violence. If you love dark romance with a mix of mafia and MC justice then you will love this book. The suspense will keep you turning the books and the explosive chemistry between Grim and Kenna will set your Kindle on fire. </div><div><br /></div><div>Warning - this book doesn't have a HEA and leaves you with a HUGE cliffhanger, but this story is well worth the wait. Can't wait for Havoc!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">GRIM is book one of the HAVOC OF SINS Series</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Get GRIM today!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/3Tta5X9" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/3Tta5X9</a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Check out all my interviews/reviews for JL Drake!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://readingbydeb.blogspot.com/2024/03/author-at-glance-jl-drake.html" target="_blank">https://readingbydeb.blogspot.com/2024/03/author-at-glance-jl-drake.html</a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Deborah Apodacahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16449889660085146871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405189255659667385.post-30266700247090833242024-03-21T14:44:00.005-05:002024-03-21T15:34:35.564-05:00Author at a Glance - JL DRAKE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA5aDLA-ysjOIomhzzsDBi_s767J8vA5voeY-i6lm6D4hRN2wWvnNT8_DDioycaAkF9NKhAL_QgmuP0f4Eyvac1heuDTKd_nBwxyjQ5uysXE0zZ-Ozlc7fQe61jrJ-E8qh5yKzUfX6c_29Lk1Klvit3CTAqB1GiThoHtlA5fj56KHefMKfKClbpBjGFH-R/s300/JL%20Drake%20photo.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="300" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA5aDLA-ysjOIomhzzsDBi_s767J8vA5voeY-i6lm6D4hRN2wWvnNT8_DDioycaAkF9NKhAL_QgmuP0f4Eyvac1heuDTKd_nBwxyjQ5uysXE0zZ-Ozlc7fQe61jrJ-E8qh5yKzUfX6c_29Lk1Klvit3CTAqB1GiThoHtlA5fj56KHefMKfKClbpBjGFH-R/w200-h200/JL%20Drake%20photo.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; text-align: center; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">J.L. Drake is a bestselling author with multiple series published in several countries. The Broken Trilogy is her bestseller, and her next series, Dark Water runs deep into the Broken and Blackstone world. </span></p><p style="margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; text-align: center; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She was born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada, and later moved to southern California. Though she loves the weather in Cali, she would sell her left kidney for a good rainstorm. Jodi’s love of the seasons back home in Canada definitely put an appearance in her books.</span></p><p style="margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; text-align: center; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">When she’s not writing, you can often find her sitting somewhere along the coast of Huntington Beach, reading, or at home curled up on a couch with her two children and husband, binge-watching Marvel movies. </span></p><p style="margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; text-align: center; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">“My name is J.L. Drake, and this is my story…” (Like how I did that there? You’re welcome, Broken fans).</span></p><p style="margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; text-align: center; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I never set out to be an author. I hated English class and couldn’t write a paper to save my life. Being dyslexic was a hurdle, but I was always interested in storytelling. When I was younger, I did a lot of acting in theater, TV, and movies. Nothing major, but Nova Scotia was just starting to get into the movie business at that point. It brought me out of my shell and taught me to look at scenes from many different angles, which has proven to be a major asset to my writing." </span></p><p style="margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; text-align: center; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Want to read more?

Darkness and corruption are part of my life.</span></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">After hints from my brother that all is not right with the family business, I leave Mexico and return to Vegas.

Those who don't fall in line will soon realize why I’m called The Vegas Reaper.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I demand order and obedience, so when I come head-to-head with our beautiful new hire, I’m faced with an unusual challenge, one that infuriates yet intrigues me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When my hotel goes up in flames, my anger flares along with it. I pull on my cut and join The Devils Reach. The desert ride pays off, but there’s more at play here than I ever imagined, and I’m caught in a chess game of power from an unseen force. Deception, secrets, and chaos threaten my world.

There is a heavy crossover from my Devil’s Reach Trilogy through the Quiet Mafia Series, and my Dark Water Series, where Grim is first introduced.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is intended for 18+, violent, may contain trigger warnings, and of course…ends with a cliffhanger.</div></span><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="MsoNormal">

The MMC is an OTT jealous/possessive
alphahole used to getting his way. The FMC is an independent, sassy architect
who is as stubborn as he is persistent. He hires her to renovate his villa and
she accepts, not knowing that he is a man, and she never works with men due to
a bad experience in her past. But when they meet, sparks fly.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">What is the sub-genre and trope? Did your characters lead you to this genre or
was that decided before the story began? </span></b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-family: verdana;">The tropes are insta hate/lust, forced
proximity, opposites attract, push&pull. The outline was decided prior to
the story, but my characters eventually led me down the road I didn’t expect they
would take.</span></span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Are you more character or plot driven? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This book is
definitely more character driven. It deals with their past experiences and
traumas and how they deal with them in the present.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>With many main and secondary characters, how do you keep
them separated in your mind? Do you have
a story/vision board above your workspace? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I don’t do story boards or anything
similar. All my characters usually have some distinguishing quirks that make
them different and easy to remember.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>I know from previous interviews that characters take on a
life of their own. Were any of the
characters in this series determined to take their own direction instead of
where you initially wanted them to go? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It always happens for me. The characters
are living their life and I’m just writing it down.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Are any of the male/female POVs based on anyone you know? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">No.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Was there any one character/</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">scene</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">
that was harder to write about than the other?</span></b></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If I have a sideline character
in a scene, and it’s a character I don’t particularly like, then it’s harder
for me to write it.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>I know that we aren’t supposed to have “favorites” as far
as our children, but seriously, who’s your favorite character and why? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">My MMC Lawrence
Barbara is definitely my favorite character. He’s so OTT it’s hilarious.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>How do you get inside these characters’ heads to find
their perfect HEA? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I just test them through different situations until I feel
they’ve grown enough and that they are different persons than they were in the
beginning. Then it’s time for a HEA.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What scene in this book/series sticks out the most for
you? Why? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I can’t say that without
spoiling the book, but there’s an intense scene in the third act that pained me
to write.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>This question is if you write in MULTIPLE POVs not just
the hero and heroine - I love the multiple POVs in a book. It’s not just the hero and heroine, but we
get inside the heads of multiple characters throughout this series. I feel that it gives the story further
depth. Do you think you will write
another book or series following this multiple POV outline?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I
usually just write hero/heroine POV, although I have considered writing a book
where there would be a third POV, probably a villain of sorts.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>How long did it take you to write this book? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I
wrote it fairly quickly, although I had to take a pause at one point, because
of some personal issues going on.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>How did you come up with the title for your book? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The working title, which I loved by the way, was
Belladonna, which is the name of the villa in which the MMC lives. However,
after I got the idea of who my MMC would be and what would he be like, <i>A
Gentleman Caveman</i> made so much more sense.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>If you met these characters in real life would you get
along? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Oh, yeah. My FMC would probably be my bestie. And I would have a crush
on my MMC.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>If your book/series were made into a movie, which actors
do you see as playing your characters? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Oh, gosh. Not sure.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">My heroine is very
specific-looking with her long, curly, bright orange hair.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">My hero is “tall,
dark and handsome”. All my heroes are. </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">I have a type and I admit it.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Can you give us a hint as to what we can expect
next? Whether a new book and series or a
sequel to an existing series? Can you
share a small tease?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I am working on a continuation of something. I don’t know
if I will ever publish it because the previous book was a standalone, and I

A scoundrel. An opportunist. His lack of manners was shocking, his vocabulary the stuff of nightmares. No sense of propriety stood in the way of his inflated ego and no notion of civility prevented him from opening his mouth. His arrogance was off the charts, and with the face he had, it was no wonder. But he needed a lesson in civility, and he was about to get one.</span><br style="text-align: start;" /><br style="text-align: start;" /><span style="text-align: start;">She was a spinster from hell. Uptight. High-and-mighty. Not too pretty, but with that body, she didn’t need a pretty face. But that insolence of hers—it wouldn’t let me sleep at night. It made me think of ways of shutting her up. She may have been an accomplished, independent woman with a brain, wit, and grace. But she needed a real man, and she was about to get one.</span><br style="text-align: start;" /><br style="text-align: start;" /><span style="text-align: start;">A Gentleman Caveman is a super steamy enemies-to-lovers romance featuring a dirty-talking alphahole used to getting his way. This novel contains graphic language, explicit sexuality, and a dash of taboo.

most are Anaïs Nin and D. H. Lawrence.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">D.H. Lawrence’s book <i>Lady Chatterley’s

characters based on people in real life? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">No. All my characters are a figment of

your book inspirations from? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sometimes it’s just a dream that I’ve had, or a
sentence that I read somewhere. It’s usually the little things.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Do you use have a

way? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I let my characters interact while I chronicle what’s going on. I tried
the outline approach, but it doesn’t work for me.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>When you are
picturing the characters in your book, do you have a cheater photo for
inspiration? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">No. I can usually see them in my head quite clearly.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Many people read as a

Danielle Lori.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Do the locations in
the stories have any meaning to you? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Often, they’re places I would like to
visit.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Do you write in
single or multiple POV? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">More often than not, multiple POV (hero and heroine).
Lately, I discovered I enjoy writing from male POV.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What do you find to

pen names, each for a different genre.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What genre do you
write and why is this your preference? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I write mostly romance. It’s a genre
that let’s me combine a love story, humor, and any subgenre I’m currently in
the mood for.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Tell me something
about yourself outside of writing. Jobs, accomplishments, family, quirky
trait...what led to you being you? </span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I’m a simple person who leads a simple life.
I leave the adventures for my books. I’m also an introvert, which doesn’t help
in my line of work.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What advice would you
give to an aspiring writer? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Love your craft, perfect your craft and never give
up.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>How do you deal and process negative book reviews? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It was tougher in the
beginning, but now I have a thicker skin. I remind myself we’re all different
and like different things.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What is the most difficult part of your writing process? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Neither,
although in the past I had issues with ending the book. And then I just sort of
outgrew it.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What do you need in your writer’s space to keep you
focused? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Just peace and quiet.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What is your naughty indulgence as you are writing? </b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Anything chocolate.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">If you could spend a day with another popular author,

In his free time, David still acts and directs for professional local theatres. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;">He also enjoys playing with his three spoiled but lovable cats.</span></div></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12.0pt;"><span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>How did you get into narrating books?<o:p></o:p></b></span></span></p></div><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I’m a professional actor and have worked in the
theater all my life.</span> </p></div></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I had just opened in a professional production when the
pandemic hit and theaters were closed down and quarantine went into effect. I
didn’t realize how depressing and debilitating that would be. Not being able to
express myself creatively was a real downer.</span> </p></div></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I had been toying with the idea of
narrating audiobooks for years but never really pursued it until the pandemic.
It seemed like a natural solution to the problem. I could work from home, after
turning a walk-in closet into a recording booth. It was a major investment and
a steep learning curve, but I eventually settled in and learned the process.</span> </p></div></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 12pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Now, all I want to do it narrate audiobooks. I’m a lot less interested in
performing on stage anymore. Though, as of this writing, I am booked to play
the lead in another professional production here in my hometown of Columbus,
Ohio, at the end of May.</span></p></div></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What genres of books do you narrate? And why is
this your preference?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I’m open to narrating just about any genre. So
far though, I’ve narrated mostly Romance. Though I have done Historical
Fiction, Thrillers, and a new category, Romance Thrillers, for which I just won
a Best Narrator award in 2023 from AudiobookReviewer.com for a book called
<i>UNRAVELING</i>, by Rick R. Reed.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I don’t necessarily prefer Romance but I tend to
gravitate toward it. Not sure exactly why.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>How many books have you narrated?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I’ve got 14 book currently available on Audible
with 1 about to be released and another 2 that I am working on in production.
That will bring the total to 17 shortly.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Are you able to read the books in advance to get their
personalities? And how long do you have to prepare?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You absolutely must read the book in advance
before commencing narration. There’s no other way to get a bird’s eye view of
the arc of the story and who the people are that you will portraying, if indeed
you are ‘performing’ the book instead of just ‘reading’ it.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">A narrator also
needs to clearly understand the author’s intent for each character and each
subplot and storyline. You can’t ‘wing it’ or leave it to whim.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I can read a
book in a few days depending on the length, but it may take me a week or more
to prepare for the actual narration. That includes discovering the character
voices, understanding their personalities, and bringing into focus their
objectives as they pertain to the plot.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Do you do anything special to get into character
when you are narrating?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: verdana;">Because of my many years of theatrical training,
it’s relatively easy for me to ‘get</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: verdana;">
into character.’ I can slip in and out of different people’s skin very
easily and enjoy doing so.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: verdana;">At this point, it just comes naturally, and I don’t
even have to think about it too much. Once I’m clear on ‘who’ they are, I
assume their character like I’m donning a piece of wardrobe.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: verdana;">It’s most fun
during impassioned discussions and arguments where the dialogue is fast and
furious. Switching back and forth between voices, temperaments, personalities,
ages, etc., in the heat of a repartee is an exciting exercise that I enjoy very
much.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Do you narrate in different dialects? If so, what
do you find to be your best research tool for accents?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I do narrate in different dialects. Some, I’m
very well acquainted with and use with fluidity. Others, that are more obscure
or unfamiliar to me, I have to research.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">For instance, in one book I was
narrating, the author introduced the Thai grandmother of the protagonist. Doing
an Asian accent can be very tricky because there are so many variations based
on location. I feared I would not be able to do it justice. But I got very
lucky. I went on YouTube and found a young Asian-American woman doing her
grandmother’s Thai accent. It was a God-send. I studied her and worked on the
pronunciations and inflections and was able to perform the Thai grandmother
(who had delightfully feisty and comedic dialogue) to the author’s delight and
amazement.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Tell me something about yourself outside of
narrating.</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Jobs, accomplishments,
family, quirky trait... what led to you being you?</span></b></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: verdana;">After graduating from Florida State University in
Tallahassee, and the National Shakespeare Conservatory in New York City, I
worked in regional theatre for many years as an actor and director, and earned
my membership in Actors' Equity Association.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: verdana;">I continue to act in, direct, and
occasionally stage manage professional local and regional theatrical
productions in my home state of Ohio. But acting and directing alone were
never sufficiently remunerative to provide the stable lifestyle I desired. So,
I entered the corporate world.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: verdana;">There I found my niche in Destination
Management, a place where I could express myself creatively and still provide
for my lifestyle comfortably. I traveled a lot for my work, but I have also
traveled extensively for pleasure, all my life, all over the world.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: verdana;">I’ve worked
as a graphic designer, script writer, actor, and producer for many corporate
events, and eventually became a marketing communications director for a company
which focused on special events and logistics for corporate travel, with
offices in Fort Lauderdale, The Bahamas, and Puerto Rico. I spent many happy
years in Destination Management working with marvelous people I still have as
friends to this day.</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">
</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Who have you partnered with in narrating?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I have not yet taken part in any multi-cast
narrations, though I would very much like to, and hope to, in the near future.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">However,
I recently completed the narration of a magnificent book called, <i>I SURVIVED
GETTYSBURG</i>, that Audible will be releasing shortly. The author introduced a new
character three chapters from the end of the book. He described her as ‘a young
girl.’ Now, I can do a lot with my voice, but I am after all a man with a
naturally deep, gravelly voice. I can do women by speaking in a higher register
and sometimes using a pitch-shifter (which is a tool on some DAWS – Digital
Audio Workstations).</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">After I recorded the chapter (she appears in only one yet
tells a significant story that leads to the denouement), I was unhappy with the
way I sounded. I wasn’t young, fresh and innocent enough to my own ears to be
faithful to the author’s character description. So, I called an actress friend
of mine and asked her if she would be willing to perform the role of this young
girl and she readily agreed and did a terrific job. I was happy. The author was
happy. And the actress was happy.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I hope all the listeners of <i>I SURVIVED
GETTYSBURG</i>, by Mark Pieper, will be happy too.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>When you narrate a book, do you narrate with your
book partner or do they record separately?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Ideally, all the narrators in a scene would be in
the same room, under a studio-controlled environment overseen by professional
sound engineers.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">But that’s a rare occasion, unless one is recording in a major
metropolis like New York or LA and working for a major production or publishing
house.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In the one experience which I speak of in the previous answer, the
actress, recorded the lines alone in my sound booth, which only fits one person
comfortably at a time. I then spliced the lines in where appropriate.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Can you take us through your typical day at work?
I would guess that you are in a sound studio. How does that work?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There are no typical workdays for me. I’m an
artist. A creative. I move when the Muse calls me.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>How long does it typically take to narrate a
novel?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">For me, it depends. It’s different for each
narrator. I don’t churn novels out like an Espresso Book Machine. It can be a
matter of weeks or a matter of months depending upon the circumstances, the
length of the book, and my agreement with the author or Rights Holder.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I invest
a great deal of myself into the production of an audiobook and don’t rush the
process. I consider each novel I narrate, a unique masterpiece that deserves
the application of every bit of expertise I have at my disposal.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What advice would you give to an aspiring
narrator?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Don’t try to teach yourself. You will learn the
wrong way to do things and it will take you longer to get where you want to be,
and it will be harder to break bad habits.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There are lots of great teachers,
coaches, and classes out there – available at varying price points. Do some
research, get to know people who are working in the industry, and seek their
advice. Start by joining Facebook groups for narrators.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It’s WORTH IT to pay
for coaching. Not only coaching in acting, but the technical aspect of producing
audiobooks is critical, specific, and detailed.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You MUST learn the correct way
to do your job. The industry demands it. And you will be so glad you did not
cut corners – which will only frustrate you in the long run.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Every new narrator
should start at the Narrators Roadmap and pay for the membership – it’s
invaluable. The information provided here is worth its weight in gold. <a href="https://www.narratorsroadmap.com/" target="_blank">https://www.narratorsroadmap.com/</a>.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>How do you deal and process negative reviews?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Negative reviews can be so debilitating.
Primarily when they are just mean-spirited and insulting. Some people enjoy
giving negative reviews and take pride in the nasty things they can say about
something. There’s a way to say things constructively without ripping the
artist’s heart out.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Nothing is so bad that it merits cruelty on the part of the
reviewer. These days with the prevalence of online reviews, businesses of all
kinds are at the mercy of any invisible voice that chooses to spout venom.
Remember there is a human being on the other end of that review, and there is
enormous power in the spoken/written word.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">That being said, how do I deal with
it, you ask. I’ll be honest. It hurts. We may get thirty great, glowing
reviews, but one or two bad ones. Rather than obsessing on it, I force myself
to re-read all the glowing ones. And depending on how the negative review is
worded, I will either take the criticism under advisement and adjust
accordingly or realize there is simply a very damaged person writing it who
feels the need to lash out and hurt others. I then forget about it and wish
them well.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What
do you need to keep you focused?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Rest.
If I’m tired, I can’t focus.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What
is the most difficult part of narrating?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I
used to think it was editing, but that’s just time-consuming. Now I think the
most difficult part of narrating is walking into the recording booth.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There are
so many outside influences demanding attention. We must force ourselves to say
– “No, this time is for me and my work,” and actually put everything else on
hold while we allow ourselves the bliss of storytelling on our own for all the
world to hear.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>If
you could spend a day with a popular author, whom would you choose? And why?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Without
a doubt, Colleen Hoover. The Queen of Romance Thrillers. I just want to get to
know her and spend some time with her. I think she’s brilliant.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I’d love to
take her to lunch, dinner, or afternoon tea and talk about the million
different things that make her such a phenomenal author.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Is
there an author that you would love to narrate for?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Colleen
Hoover</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What
is your kryptonite as a narrator? What totally puts you off your game?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Bad
writing. I can’t begin to tell you what bliss it is to narrate/perform the work
of brilliant writers. And I can honestly say that every author whose work I’ve
narrated is brilliant. I just won’t do it if the writing is bad.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I can tell
that before I audition for a book. I won’t audition or accept a contract for a
book that is poorly written.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Is
there such a thing as a narrator’s blooper reel?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I
don’t have one. I don’t keep mistakes to go back and visit. Mistakes be gone!
Only the perfect remains.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Do
you have a hard time keeping a straight face when you read? If so, what sets
you off?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">No,
I don’t have a hard time keeping a straight face. But that’s the result of eons
of theatre work and training.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In fact, if a scene is funny, I will enjoy it
thoroughly off-mic, and laugh to myself. But when the mic is on, it is time for
me to perform the humor so that it is funny to the listener, not me.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>How
do you keep your game face (voice lol)?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I
keep my voice rested when I am not recording. I don’t yell, I don’t cheer, I
don’t strain it for any reason. I don’t smoke and I don’t drink alcohol. My
voice is my instrument. It is my Stradivarius. And I treat it as such.</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">To
keep my focus on winning in general, I allow myself to be inspired by my many
peers in the industry. There are so many talented voice artists out there and
in the past two years I’ve really begun interacting with them on a social level
by attending conventions and workshops. It’s an extremely supportive and

text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">BIO:</span></b></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Cole J. Powell is a New Zealand author who writes fierce heroines and cutthroat alphas.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">She loves writing books with suspenseful plots and twisted storylines; sometimes those sweet and heartfelt stories sneak in too.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">When Cole’s not in the writing cave with her copious cups of tea, she’ll be on an outdoor adventure with her family or contemplating what mischief she can get up to next.</span></p></div><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>When and how did you know you wanted to
be a writer?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Becoming a writer took me by surprise. In
2019 I opened a blank doc and let my imagination run wild. I had no vision, no
plan, only the thoughts circulating at the time. With encouragement from a
close friend, I knew I would finish my first novel.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Did you have any influencing writers
growing up?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Growing up I gravitated towards Roald
Dahl and later Charles Dickens. Reading was never as big for me as it is now.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Are any of your characters based on
people in real life?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">If the storyline bears similarity with my
own experience, then there’s potential for someone to become my muse, but never
based on a person directly.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Where do you draw your book inspirations
from?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">My mental health. Writing is the best outlet, which creates my beautiful, witty
and sometimes twisted characters. Having the freedom to express these
characters is the biggest inspiration.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Do you have a basic outline when
starting a new story or do you let the characters lead the way?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">There’s usually a theme I choose when
starting a new book. From there my characters don’t allow me the privilege of
planning. They’re rather needy and always change the direction of the story.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>When you are picturing the characters in
your book, do you have a cheater photo for inspiration?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">It’s all imagination based. Especially
when their description changes without warning, visual boards don't work for
me.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Many people read as a form of escape and
relaxation. What is your favorite way to sit back and relax?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">In any setting whether camping or
relaxing at home, I’ll always have a book and snacks close by.</span></div></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Who are your favorite current authors to
read?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Jane Blythe and Kathleen Kelly</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What are your favorite books by others?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Beyond the Roses</i> by Monica James</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Fighting Redemption</i> & <i>Fighting
Absolution</i> by Kate McCarthy</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>The Dark Series</i> by Danah Logan</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Do the locations in the stories have any meaning
to you?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">All of the outdoor settings do. I love
nature and have some favorite locations I’ll use as inspiration.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Do you write in single or multiple POV?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">All full length novels are in multiple
POV. Short stories are single POV.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What do you find to be your best research
tool?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Good ol’ Google. There are times I’ll
reach out to people with expertise or experiences.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Do you write under a pen name? Also, do you write under more than one name?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">One pen name, Cole J. Powell.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What genre do you write and why is this
your preference?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Creating a plot that leads a reader down
the rabbit hole is thrilling. There are so many twists and turns to explore,
which lead me to writing Mafia/crime family and suspense.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Tell me something about yourself outside
of writing. Jobs, accomplishments, family, quirky trait... what led to you
being you?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I’m not really big on talking about
myself, until I’m comfortable then start rambling.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I live in New Zealand and
work as a teacher aide.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I love camping adventures with my husband, two kids and
dog–who thinks she’s a human.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The best times are always spontaneous.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I’m my own
quirk as far as traits go, loud to those who know me with a crazy sense of
humor.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><b> <span style="font-family: verdana;">What advice would you give to an aspiring
writer?</span></b></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Forget expectations and write for you.
Get lost in your words and enjoy the world you’re creating. Never be shy to
reach out.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>How
do you deal and process negative book reviews?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">They’ll
always be hard to read, and I acknowledge my words won’t be everyone’s cup of
tea. I take criticism whether good or negative on board to help me grow.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What
is the most difficult part of your writing process?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Imposter
syndrome nearing the end of the first draft.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What
do you need in your writer’s space to keep you focused?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Music,
snacks and my phone on silent.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>What
is your naughty indulgence as you are writing?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Inside
my writing environment, snacks.</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">When it comes to my characters there’s no shortage of steam.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">If
you could spend a day with another popular author, whom would you choose?</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">And why?</span></b></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Can
I say all of them?</span> </p></blockquote><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This is hard because I’ve become friends with so many
amazing authors. I’ll say… visiting the UK is high on my bucket list.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">What
is your schedule like when you are writing?</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Do you have a favorite writing snack or drink?</span></b></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">My
schedule consists of two hours of writing a day except Fridays where I write
with a friend. I always prepare with cups of tea, fruit, pretzels and of course
my something extra sweet.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Do
you listen to music when you write – what kind of music is your favorite?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Background
noise has always helped me concentrate. At the moment I’m into EDM and old
school rock–The Rolling Stones, CCR, Lynard Skynyrd etc.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Have
pets ever gotten in the way of your writing?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our
cat, Buddy, used to curl up on my knee/laptop while I wrote in my fav chair.
I’ve never pressed ‘save’ so much in my life.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">What
is your kryptonite as a writer?</span><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">What
totally puts you off your game?</span></b></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Constant
distractions.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>Have
you ever killed off a character that your readers loved?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Guilty.</span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>How
do you celebrate after typing THE END?</b></span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Always
with cake and my kids.</span></p></blockquote>
