Silken Audiobooks
By Mary Jo
Not everyone loves audiobooks, but some of you do, which is why I've been slowly producing audio versions of my older books. It takes time and it's pricey, but I want people to have my stories available in their preferred format. (In particular, for those romance lovers with vision issues because my mother benefited for many years from the National Library of the Blind in the days before commercial audiobooks became widely available.)
But indie audiobooks can face distribution glitches, which is why the second and third books of my Silk Trilogy were so slow in becoming widely available. Now, finally they are, and I have the time to blog about them--and to give away five copies each of these latter audiobooks!
SILK AND SHADOWS, Book 1, became available last September and it features one of my darkest and most compelling heroes as the exotic prince Peregrine comes to London for revenge, and instead finds a love and life beyond anything he'd ever dreamed of. Here's a link to the blog I did at that time.
Here is another link to the page on my website that contains information about the story and a print excerpt.
A quote: “Mary Jo Putney is a gifted writer with an intuitive understanding of what makes romances work. I loved Silk and Shadows, couldn’t put it down, and don’t think readers will, either.”
—Jayne Ann Krentz
SILK AND SECRETS, Book 2, features one of my favorite couples, Lord Ross Carlisle and Juliet Cameron. Married and long estranged, they rediscover each other on the Persian frontier, and together they undertake a dangerous rescue mission to Bokhara. In the process, they reignite their fierce mutual love, but can they rebuild their marriage?
Here is the link to my audiobook page with more information about the the story.
"Silk and Secrets fulfills every dream of your heart, every yearning of your soul, as a pair of memorable lovers find their way back to each other’s arms . . . This remarkable novel of high adventure and unquenchable love is a stunning reading experience, one you will remember and cherish forever.”
–Romantic Times, 4+ Star review
VEILS OF SILK, Book 3, features Ian Cameron, a serious contender for my Most Tortured Hero list, in a marriage of convenience story that is equal parts adventure and a challenging romance between two complicated people. Here's the link to my webpage about the story and the audiobook.
"Like Laura and Ian, you will be drawn into a dangerous web of intrigue and desire. Ms. Putney has written not only a stunning romance, but a love story that explores her characters’ psychological makeup and how they change through love….A mesmerizing, exotic romance.”
–Romantic Times, Melinda Helfer
THE GIVEAWAY: as I said above, I am offering five free audiobooks each for Silk and Secrets and Veils of Silk. They are available in the the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia. If you're interested, post a comment by midnight Saturday and tell me which book you'd like if you have a preference.
Happy listening!
