The White Field by Douglas Cole

The White Field is a fast-paced journey of a man, Tom, fresh out of prison and trying desperately to rebuild his life. But he is caught by mysterious, unseen forces beyond his knowledge or control. After his release from prison, he is dropped back into the world in the wastelands of the city. In the menial work afforded the underclass, he begins his new life among characters at the edges of society, dwellers of the netherworld such as Raphael, a former cop from Mexicali singing Spanish arias in the mists of the industrial night among drug addicts and crooked cops; Tony, a stoner scholar with an encyclopedic knowledge of history based solely on the intricate study of rock and roll; and Larry, the bloated, abusive manager trapped as much as his workers in a world of tedium and repetition and machines. Think, The Three Stooges on acid. Unable to reconnect with what’s left of his family, Tom embarks on a criminal path more harrowing than the one that led him to prison in the first place. Lured in by the nefarious, Thane, he slips into a plan that will leave him with no way back. And with no place left in this world to go but prison, he makes one last run for freedom. Will he escape?

The Devils’ Cradle by Darcy Daniel

GRAND PRIZE WINNER – TopShelf Magazine’s 2018 Indie Book Awards!

“An exquisite exercise in psychological suspense, a dark tale cut from the cloth woven by the likes of Lisa Gardner and Harlan Coben. Timely, tumultuous and terrific.” – Jon Land, USA Today bestselling author

On Australia’s island state, more than one species of Tasmanian Devil exists…

Beneath the surface of Nina Holt’s perfect marriage lurks a life of terror inflicted upon her by her politically powerful husband Michael and his brother Greg, a sadistic detective. For over a decade they have managed to keep Nina imprisoned, using her to satisfy their every whim.

Worse still, the only light in her life—her 9-year-old son, Sam—considers Michael a hero. When Sam imitates Michael’s violence by lashing out at her, Nina knows it’s time for both of them to escape before Sam truly turns into the monster Michael is grooming him to become.

After crashing her car in her haste to escape, kind motorist Case Herder offers her help. Unaware that he has his own plans for her, Nina accepts, igniting a deadly game of cat and mouse as they flee across Tasmania with Sam.

As Michael and Greg relentlessly hunt them down to Cradle Mountain, Nina finds herself with nowhere left to run. Cornered, she has no choice but to face evil head-on.

Return to Valley End High by Brian Barber

Posted By Audiobook Librarian

Barnes returns to Valley End High, this time with bits of his lost memory returning. Find out what happens when he finally learns the dark secret behind the largest high school in the world.

Part of the LYCCYX universe, the Valley End High series describes some of the events that take place on Earth while the main story of LYCCYX focuses on the lunar colony know as LB127.

Targeted Age Group: all
Genre: mystery, thriller, short stories

What was your inspiration for this book?
I wanted to explore what takes place on Earth while the main story of LYCCYX occurs. Barnes is an interesting character in a unique predicament. In the first installment, Valley End High, he has just found himself starting a new job as a security officer at the largest high school in the world.

He has no memory of anything before that morning. He has no idea why he is working there and has an uncomfortable feeling that this place may not be what it appears to be on the surface. When you wrote the book did you know you were going to offer it as an audio book?
No.

Why did you decide to produce an audio book?
My first audiobook, A Stormy Night, did extremely well and I figured I might as well use ACX to create an audio version of the Valley End High series. These are perfect for when you want a complete experience but don’t have the time to invest in a full-length novel.

How did you choose the reader for the book and the production company?
ACX made that all so simple. I heard about them shortly after publishing my first eBook and decided to give them a try.

Eric Nutting sent me an audition for Valley End High and I really felt that he captured the character of Barnes perfectly. I immediately asked if he would do both stories in the series and was delighted that he agreed.

If someone is thinking about creating an audio book, what advice would you give them?
Try ACX, especially if you already have eBooks on Amazon. I couldn’t imagine an easier way to produce a quality audiobook. What else would you like to share with readers about your audio book?
I don’t know how long it will last, but Amazon is offering the first episode, Valley End High for $1.99 when you buy the eBook for $0.99. Since most audiobooks start around $7, this is a phenomenal deal. Also, for Audible members it can be had for one member credit.

The third installment of Valley End High is coming soon so be sure to check out the first two.
