I just got the audiobook narration files for Crown of a King. I’m two chapters in and am already blown away. Not only is it flawless and professionally done, but listening to Deborah Balm VO is like having the story in my head come to life out loud. She’s absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to hear the rest.

LAUNCH DAY!!!
I’m so glad it’s finally here! Hope you enjoy it!!
Here’s some of the accolades received by the series so far…

“This historical “game of thrones” is engrossing, with fast-paced, crisp prose and smart dialogue. An enticing read, sure to please lovers of historical fiction.” – Kirkus Reviews

“Literally unputdownable: as good as anything written by literary giants such as Ken Follett, Bernard Cornwell, Philippa Gregory, and Stephen R. Lawhead.” –Blueink Reviews
“Gleason’s gripping historical novel offers readers a vivid mix of bloody battles, intriguing characters, and pagan sex rites…a page turner.”– Publishers Weekly “Starred Review”
