I was invited to be part of Amazon’s beta testing of their Virtual Voice, a computer-generated narration. I chose a a woman’s voice and I was surprised at how good it sounds. You can check out a sample of the narration here:

I’m currently reviewing the audio file for Rhino in the Room. I’ll send an update when the audiobook is available for that book.

Plus, my husband was given the honor to be the first tourist to play golf on a newly opened 4-hole golf course on St. Croix. Check out the staged photo below with a sugar mill historical feature in the background.

An orphaned teen’s attacker escapes jail. Disturbing DNA test results. Will her would-be killer or unearthed family secrets be what destroys her?
Sarah believes her life is back on track after a thwarted murder attempt ended with her attacker locked in jail. But when her boyfriend gifts her a DNA kit and genetic results awaken the ghosts of her past, questions arise about who she is. After a massive earthquake frees her psychopath assailant and her beloved Doberman goes missing, Sarah once again finds herself fighting to keep her ghost-seeing canine and herself safe.
Sarah’s life is further complicated when an aunt and a mysterious woman who shares her DNA arrive on her doorstep. Each woman causes new family revelations that wreak havoc on Sarah’s beliefs about herself and her deceased father.
If you enjoy compelling young adult books and a suspense-filled ghost story, you’ll love In Shadow’s Reflection.
