ReRelease Blitz ~ Confessions of a Klutz by Abigail Davies

9/26/2018

Release Date: September 26, 2018

Cover Design: Pink Elephant Designs

Synopsis

Confession One: I was a klutz. I thought I’d grow out of it, but evidently I didn’t. It’s not fun to look like a fumbling toddler when you’re twenty-six.

Confession Two: I had a standing appointment at the local ER. It wasn’t by choice that I knew all the doctors names—it was necessity. But that was about to change. Confession Three: I hated the sun yet I lived in LA where it always shone. I supposed that was one plus to being sent to New York for the next eight weeks. That was until I got there. Arm veins, dimples and, THE sexiest voice known to man were my weakness, and he had every single one of them. Confession Four: He was my new boss. I could control myself though, right? The city of dreams… a klutz’s worst nightmare. Eight weeks. A klutz. And a drool worthy boss. What did you get when you crossed a klutz with a GQ model lookalike? I was about to find out.

About the Author

Abigail Davies grew up with a passion for words, storytelling, maths, and anything pink. Dreaming up characters--quite literally--and talking to them out loud is a daily occurrence for her. She finds it fascinating how a whole world can be built with words alone, and how everyone reads and interprets a story differently. Now following her dreams of writing, Abigail has found the passion that she always knew was there. When she's not writing: she's a mother to two daughters who she encourages to use their imagination as she believes that it's a magical thing, or getting lost in a good book. If she's doing neither of those things, you can be sure she's surfing the web buying new makeup, clothes, or binge watching another show as she becomes one with her sofa.

When a shifter and a human are bound by fate, neither man knows if their connection will be enough to save not only their growing love, but their lives.

Shahin Halcón has been taught that if and when he meets his soul mate, he’ll know immediately. Always the rebel, he doesn’t believe it until the day he crosses paths with Cai, a full-human.

Plagued by unsuccessful relationships and heartache, Cai Banes’s life is quiet and unexciting. When he meets young and wild Shahin, his life is turned upside down, and he's not sure he likes it.

But neither can deny the powerful pull that draws them together.

Old secrets and ancient myths about cross-species relationships plague their romance and threaten to put their happiness and life at risk. Will their love for each other be strong enough to survive?

The Halcóns had a saying, “Once you meet him, you’ll know.” Shahin had never really believed it, choosing to do everything in his power to prove the absurdity of such belief. Even as he watched the other man maneuvering the blue car smoothly out of the tight space and driving away, his mind rebelled against such a notion.

Cai followed the same routine every day. He woke up at dawn and sat at the bay window, coffee in one hand, tablet in the other. By eight, his well-dressed, tall figure left the house, a woolen scarf wrapped casually around his neck, and walked down the street a couple blocks to the local Starbucks for his second cup of the morning. His car, a sensible, no-frills Corolla was always parked on the assigned parallel parking line along the sidewalk, a few doors down from his house.

From above, Shahin followed Cai’s long trench coat as he entered the car, an impressive figure even from that high. The metallic blue of his car was easy to track and Shahin flew after it, a little guilt gnawing on his conscience, but curiosity and fascination for the orderly life of the man who had caught his eye had won. Who was he kidding? Cai had caught more than just his eye. The six-foot-five man with the silver hair had grabbed his heart and held it with an iron fist. Even if he wasn’t aware of it at all.

Deep inside he knew. Despite a lifetime of fighting against it, believing it to be a simple old wives’ tale, he knew. Cai was his soul mate.

The irony was not lost on him as he hovered over the car at a distance, the strength of the pull urging him on. The fact that they hadn’t even met yet was a bit of a problem too. Stalking the man from the skies did not qualify as courtship even among Shahin’s people. But was it really stalking if he didn’t invade Cai’s privacy, never watching him within walls? God, he hoped not, because that would brand him as a seriously creepy individual.

Cai didn’t have far to go to his destination, a small building in old town Manassas. He always parked in the street and walked the few extra yards to the door of his office, a graphic artists’ studio above a restaurant. Before crossing the threshold, the tall man took a last long sip of his coffee, threw the cup in the trash can by the door, and pointing his keys toward the car, locked it.

Shahin circled over the building, the need to follow Cai inside burning in his chest. Not even the cold wind, buffeting his face and body, distracted him from the larger-than-life attraction—the magnetic pull of a soul mate. He circled around a few more times, a strange, longing sound escaping his throat, before spiraling upwards and away. It was time he met his mate.

ved in three continents and a few islands, and her knack for languages and linguistics led her to a master’s degree in education. She lives in Virginia where she has taught English as a Second Language to elementary school children for more years than she cares to admit.

Hard Deal by Stefanie London
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a pretty quick read for me, I liked it a lot. Don't let your past define your future. That it pretty much what this book is all about. Both Imogen and Caleb have been through some crap. They are both trying to learn to be themselves and not rely or worry about what others thinks. I recommend this steamy read!

Stefanie London is the USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance with humour, heat and heart.

Growing up, Stefanie came from a family of women who loved to read. Her favourite activity was going shopping with her Nan during school holidays, where she would sit on the floor of the bookstore with her little sister and painstakingly select the books to spend her allowance on. Thankfully, Nan was a patient woman.

Thus, it was no surprise Stefanie was the sort of student who would read her English books before the semester started. After sneaking several literature subjects into her 'very practical' Business degree, she got a job in Communications. When writing emails and newsletters didn't fulfil her creative urges, she turned to fiction and was finally able to write the stories that kept her mind busy at night.

Now she lives with her very own hero and dreams of travelling the world. She frequently indulges in her passions for good coffee, French perfume, high heels and zombie movies. Recently she gave up her day job to write sexy, contemporary romance stories and she couldn't be happier.

~My Review~

The Story
How do you solve the murder of the most hated/loved woman in town? Victoria had just as many haters as she had admirers and everyone is suspect in her death. The woman is despicable and truly had no redeeming qualities.

Borderline is filled with plot twists, action, murder, and much, much more. It gave off a Cagney & Lacey vibe. Totally dating myself here, but I remember watching the show when i was young with my Grandmother.

The character are complex, multi dimensional, and all have issues in some form or another. This just adds to the plot of the story. A surprise "who done it" in the end.

The Narrator
Honestly, at first I had trouble getting immersed into the story, but as the plot progressed I found myself lost in the story and enjoying the narrator. I really connected with Detective Barbara. Her life hasn't been a cake walk and I felt her plight. i was really hoping for her to get a HEA.

Overall
If you enjoy a suspenseful drama with twist and action this is definitely the story for you. I look forward to checking out additional work by both the author and the narrator.

About the Narrator: Pamela Almand
The daughter of a cattle rancher, Pam Almand grew up in the tiny town of Brush, Colorado. Her dad, a former Air Force fighter pilot, sparked her interest in flying, and after graduating Colorado State University in 2 1/2 years with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, Pam took a flying lesson “just for fun.”

That first lesson turned into a lifelong passion, and one month later she had her Private Pilot’s License. Though there were no female pilots in the airline industry at that time, she set that as her career goal. In 1976, Pam started a small aircraft ferry service to build flight time and in that capacity, delivered new and used aircraft all over the world, including two-seat Cessna 150s she flew solo across the Atlantic!

Pam was the first woman flight test pilot for Cessna Aircraft Company’s multi-engine turbo-prop and jet division and eventually became the company’s national spokeswoman for their Learn To Fly programs.

Her dream was finally realized when she was hired by Northwest Airlines and began a career which spanned the globe, on aircraft from the Convair 580 all the way to captain of the Boeing 747 flying Asia and Europe routes. Pam had over 25,000 hours of flight time at retirement two years ago.

She is a past director of the International Society of Women Airline Pilots and organized conferences for that group in Bangkok and Fort Worth. She is a member of the Ninety-Nines, Experimental Aircraft Association, and the Air Line Pilots Association.

When arthritis and multiple joint replacements curtailed her flying, she started a company as a professional voice actor. Appearing in a national Tylenol commercial in 1995 sparked her interest and The Captain’s Voice was the result. She is now an award-winning SAG/AFTRA narrator and voiceover talent and has done commercials, videogames, e-learning, audiobooks, and phone messaging for clients including Microsoft, Brilliance Audio, Johnson & Johnson, Audible, La Costa Resort, Jet Blue, Delta Airlines, Dell, Blackstone Publishing, the American Red Cross, Canadian Realtors…all the way to being the English voice for The Hotels and Casinos of Monte Carlo!

She was nominated for an Audie Award for her 5th audiobook narration (Come To Me Alive, by Leah Atwood) and went on to also earn a Voice Arts Award for non-fiction for In Movement There Is Peace, by Elaine and Joseph Foster; another Voice Arts nomination for Cyber Crisis: It’s Personal Now, by William Kieper; and recently was awarded an Earphones Award by AudioFile Magazine for Husbands and Other Sharp Objects, by Marilyn Simon Rothstein for Brilliance Audio.

She has served on the board of several charities, including Patrons of the HeArts and local Beaches Emergency Assistance Ministries (BEAM) and lives with her husband Amos in Atlantic Beach. Pam plays piano for her local church, still returns to Telluride, Colorado every summer, loves biking, golf, hiking, and-though she’s been all over the globe!- she still counts world travel among her most-loved hobbies.

Narrator Interview

When did you know you wanted to be an audiobook narrator?
After the first time I went out on a limb and challenged my comfort zone… and had a great time doing it!
How did you wind up narrating audiobooks?
Was it always your goal or was it something you stumbled into by chance? I’ve been a full-time voice actor and voiceover professional for about 15 years, but had always shied away from audiobooks since I did not have an acting background. I was busy doing tv and radio commercials, e-learning, voice messaging...but I have been an avid reader my entire life, so I decided to try it, with a cozy mystery and characters I could really have fun with. I found a book with a stipend and royalty-share on ACX and although I didn’t make the money I would make in voiceover gigs, I really enjoyed it!
Did you find it difficult to “break into” audiobook narration? What skill/tool helped you the most when getting started?
I used ACX to find titles that offered a stipend plus royalty-share. As a full-time professional, I just couldn’t justify doing anything for royalty-share only but the stipends were what got me started!
A lot of narrators seem to have a background in theatre. Is that something you think is essential to a successful narration career?
I do think it is an advantage to an audiobook narrator. It enables you to get deeply into a character with acting techniques. What I had to bring to the table without the benefit of acting training was the ability to get into my books that reading voraciously gave me! Books have always been an escape for me and to truly escape… you need to bury yourself in the story and the characters and somehow it shows up in narration!
What type of training have you undergone?
I try to do training with various coaches every year and I have benefited from all! I’ve studied with Scott Brick, Paul Ruben, Carol Monda, Pat Fraley, and many other top narrators and I will always try to keep improving my craft.
How do you manage to avoid burn-out? What do you do to maintain your enthusiasm for narrating?
I just love books! And I learn so much by doing varied genres!
Are you an audiobook listener? What about the audiobook format appeals to you?
I love to listen when I’m driving or working out, but I’ll have to admit, I’ve driven past a number of exits listening to a particularly exciting title!
What are your favorite and least favorite parts of narrating an audiobook?
The computer setup and tech aspects are not my cup of tea, and I sometimes feel a little irritated at doing punch and roll when I make a mistake. It is an indulgent joy to have a sound guy working the DAW. And I hate to have to stop and research a pronunciation, but most of the time, the publishers have already done so for me and that is a treat!

He has to fight off his MC brotherhood on a drug problem threatening his town, balance his time as a father while dealing with a vicious custody battle with his ex, and somehow manage the huge load of responsibilities of his job. All the while, he is fighting his attraction to the quiet shopkeeper who lives just across the street from him. The last thing he wants is to take her down with him.

Psalm’s life is uneventful.

Finally healed after the heartache of losing her husband, kind-souled Psalm throws herself into her store and rescuing dogs. Her crush on Blue can be traced back to high school so many years ago, and even after being widowed, she still carries a torch for him. From the sidelines, she aches for Blue and his children. With her caring nature, she reaches out to him, over and over again, even when he pushes her away. Is Psalm’s heart strong enough to take on this broken man and heal him?

I've had stories in my head since I was a child. All sorts of stories of fantasy, romance, mystery and anything else that captured my interest. I'm a voracious reader, and have spent many hours in my life devouring books, therefore it's only fitting I should write a few myself!

I've spent most of my life as a performing musician and band instrument repair technician, but that doesn't mean I'm pigeon-holed into one mold. I've been a university professor, belly dancer, craftsperson, soap maker, singer, rock band artist, jewelry maker, lifeguard, swim coach, and whatever else I feel like exploring. As one of my students said to me once, "Life's too short to ignore the opportunities." I have no intention of ever stopping so welcome to my story world. I hope you enjoy it!
