I have a new audio book! by Jan Scarbrough


 My book Darby: Ghost Mountain Ranch is now on Audible and Apple AudioBooks.

 

I never thought I’d have an audio book. Let’s face it, it’s expensive! But this very nice narrator Traci Odom contacted me via email. For some reason, I responded. Then, my sweet husband Bill said, “Let’s go for it.” He funded the project. And it couldn’t have been easier. Traci took care of the leg work. She told us what we needed to do. We signed contracts and arranged to pay the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan a percentage and the rest to Traci.

 

I couldn’t believe it when Bill and I heard the fifteen-minute trial audio. Had I written that book? It sounded so good! So professional! Traci voiced my heroine Darby and her leading man Hank. She also narrated the old father and other characters at the ranch. Wow! I was impressed. We approved it, and soon the audio book was finished, paid for, and it recently appeared at Audible and Apple.

 

So, if you are like Bill and “read” audio books, you can try one of mine! We’ll eventually produce the other two books in the mystery part of the series. In 2024 look for Slade and Kelsey in your audio bookstore! 


 

More about Traci Odom from her website:

I just have to laugh, as after many years as an on-camera actor, I have stumbled gracefully into the creative career of my dreams as an audiobook narrator and voice-artist.  As a veteran of stage, film and television, I have played everything from a tree to an Irish Setter to a lawyer, but as a narrator of more than 320 audiobooks I have expanded that repertoire to include dragons, trolls, witches and devilishly handsome humans.  Welcome to my world of romance, witchcraft, devilry and often a tempting bite of vampirism.

 

The Ghost Mountain Ranch Series

Will the revelation of more shocking secrets from the past destroy their hopes for the future? The Ghost Mountain Ranch series is a blend of mystery and romance.

 

DARBY: What is the truth behind the death of Darby’s mother? When the past once again intrudes on the present, will Darby do what she’s always done—what her mother did—and run away? Grief and secrets had torn Darby and Hank apart once. Given a second chance at love, will the revelation of more shocking secrets from the past destroy their hopes for the future?

 

SLADE: Someone knows the truth about the part Ghost Mountain Ranch played in Laurie’s life, and the terrible consequences of that past. But when the ghosts of the past threaten the lives of the living, will their growing attraction be enough to protect Slade and Laurie?


 

KELSEY: But something dark is happening at Ghost Mountain Ranch, where the past is reaching out in dangerous ways to haunt the living. Max is not only stirring up old feelings in Kelsey, but old secrets of the ranch’s inhabitants. Secrets someone might be willing to kill to keep. Can they finally lay the old ghosts to rest, or will the echoes of a decades-old murder destroy their second chance at love?

 

"Kudos to Jan Scarbrough for keeping the characters interesting and the plot twists intriguing from the first book to the last."
