Sound Sample Saturday – Forever Festive Chapter 14 and Other News…

March 25, 2023 / akrummenacker / Leave a comment

Sometimes you get a sneak peek at the next book cover, but every once in a while, it gets a sneak peek at you…

I thought you might enjoy this little peek at the cover for “Forever Chosen” the next installment of the Forever Detective Series. In “Forever Chosen” will bring back a number of familiar faces, both friends and foes, as well as a couple of new faces (unless you’ve been reading “W. I. T. C. H. Hunters Forever” which is also available in both e-book and paperback formats).

When it comes to book covers, I work closely with Allan to come up with the images, going so far as to actually doing some of the artwork in the final product along with him. Allan often turns to me to ask what kind of subject matter I want to see used in the image. I’ve like to aim for covers with a bit of a ‘vintage feel’. Specifically, I want a cover that has a bit of a nostalgic feel to it. One that takes you back to the days of the old pulp magazines that once covered the walls of a newspaper stand. And between the two of us, I like to think we achieve that effect. I hope you agree and enjoy the images that we come up with.

I also insist that any image that goes on the cover, is a scene or a mix of events that actually happen in the story itself. Or as in the case of “Forever Festive” an image that captures the spirit of the story within the book. Currently, Allan is working on the cover of “Forever Chosen” (as displayed at the top of this entry) and once he has it finished, he’ll be putting the rest of the book into the correct format for publishing. In the meantime, we’ll be preparing a book trailer for you, at which time he’ll start to work on the audio version of the book. So stay tuned to this blog for more news and giveaways coming soon…

In the meantime, I have another audio chapter from “Forever Festive” for you to enjoy.

A Special Christmas Present to You All

December 24, 2022 / akrummenacker / Leave a comment

We’re interrupting the “Forever Festive” audios to bring you another audio that is from my latest release “W. I. T. C. H. Hunters Forever”. As most of you already know, that book is a collection of short stories about the team of special people who work for Sir Lynne Fox. His W. I. T. C. H. Hunters have been mentioned in several of Rafael’s stories and you actually got to meet a few of them already such as Sir Lynne himself, Clara, and Medium Brown.

However, one story in the collection is a Christmas story focusing on Sir Lynne and his family, as they investigate the legendary Krampus. And as we are in the midst of the holiday season, I asked my husband/voice narrator Allan to do an audio version of that story, after he recently did an unabridged reading/presentation of Charles Dicken’s “A Christmas Carol”, complete with imagery, over on YouTube. After seeing and hearing the results, I asked him to do the same with my “Krampus Lessons” story. And he just finished it today on Christmas Eve.

So please sit back and enjoy our little holiday presentation and have a very Merry Christmas!.

PS: The audios for “Forever Festive” will resume early next week.

“Forever In Deep” Is Now Available In Audio Form

May 2, 2021May 2, 2021 / akrummenacker / Leave a comment

“Forever In Deep” the 5-star rated third installment of the Forever Detective Series has joined its siblings on Audible, Itunes, and Amazon. This makes the entire series to date available in audio form, with more books coming, starting with “Forever Festive” which will be released this November.

Allan Krummenacker has once again brought his vocal talents to the forefront to bring Rafael Jones and his friends Medium Brown, Flannery and a host of a new characters to life for you in this 3rd adventure of our favorite vampire detective.

This tale takes Rafael, accompanied by Medium Brown, to upstate New York in order to look into a series of mysterious drownings that have been taking place in Saratoga Springs. The clues they find lead them to the racetrack where they find another familiar face, who also finds the drownings intriguing and troubling. But who or what is behind the killings?

Perhaps this little snippet will give you all a hint:

“Forever’s Too Long” Book Trailer…

May 19, 2019 / akrummenacker / Leave a comment

These days, books as well as movies are often advertised with trailers that use images and sound to give you an idea of the flavor of the book, as well as sharing information about genre, storyline, and availability.

Allan Krummenacker was a huge help with this, doing the actual production based on music and images I chose, and a few finds of his own, but I especially like his vocal work– since the book is almost entirely first person narration, I decided to script the trailer that way, so he’s giving the voice of Rafael Jones.

*And remember the book will be available on June 1st, but you can still pre-order an e-copy at the following links:
