Audio Fans are Loving The Devil Out of This Series

Posted on September 23, 2026 by Darren Eliker

What if you found out the person you married only did it to expose your deepest darkest secret. What was supposed to be a marriage of convenience turns out to be a masquerade for revenge in The Devil’s Deceit, the third in Tracie Delaney’s De Vil Dynasty Series. Of course, the rules of Romance demand a Happily Ever After. I’ve really been having a blast working with June DeBorahae, this time playing Grace to my Christian De Vil. Just when you don’t think this series can get any twistier, it takes another unexpected turn. And fans are loving every minute of it! More details at Audible.

Note: While each interconnected story follows a different couple they are best enjoyed in order.

New Romantic Suspense Audio Release!!

Posted on September 16, 2026 by Darren Eliker

Ever wished you could burn down the system? When Patricia Eddy selected me to voice Asher, paired with the superb Kai Kennicott as Raine, I couldn’t have been happier. Patricia has woven a marvelous tale of governmental intrigue and abuse, woven along a path of recovery, triumph, and love through tremendous care and earned consent. I remember getting an almost Stephen King Institute vibe, minus the supernatural powers element, especially in the beginning. That almost Kafka-esque claustrophobic sense of being up against a government that had turned against it’s most valuable and talented field assets. While it is indeed a Romance, it is a carefully earned one that happens from the moment Asher discovers Raine in a secret black site facility scheduled for termination. Why? After noticing a glitch in the system, she got too close to the truth. She didn’t need him to save her. She needed him to steady her while she was saving herself. “Follow my lead,” she said. Now, he’d follow her anywhere and when she’s ready to burn the system down, he’s going to help her start the fire. Head over to the audiobook page for more details!

Tropes: She’s the grump. He’s the sunshine, Her Protector, Burn Down the System, Neurodivergence Rep, Slow Burn, Autistic Heroine, They’re Both Morally Gray, Corrupt Government Agency, She’s touch-averse.

A Murderous Good Time at Carnegie Stage

Posted on August 11, 2026 by Darren Eliker

THE MURDER OF ROGER ACKROYD is a hit! Don’t miss Kinetic Theatre’s largest production to date, running now thru August 30th at Carnegie Stage in Carnegie, PA. I’ve had the pleasure of working with my friends, Director and company founder Andrew Paul, and actors Sam Tsoutsouvas, David Whalen, Simon Bradbury, Helena Routi, James Fitzgerald and Sheila McKenna numerous times over the years and happy to add Christopher Kelley, Jandi Linde, Brandi Welle, Mia Laverne and Nai’ron Arnett. I was honored to join this production in the titular role of Roger Ackroyd during this, the 100th anniversary of Agatha Christie’s most groundbreaking novel, widely considered the greatest whodunnit ever written, powerfully brought to life in this thrilling adaptation by playwright Mark Shanahan. It’s an incredible feat to present a large procenium style play in a more intimate black box setting and Kinetic pulls it off with another remarkable first, flipping the entire theater space around to give the audience the longest and best view possible, one that makes them feel like they’re in the midst of the action with and incredible set by Jonmichael Bohach, lighting by Andrew Ostrowski, sound design by Mark Whitehead, costumes by Kimberly Brown, props master Giulia Giampapa and our wonderful Caroline Yacono who amazingly called the show “blind” from behind the set using cameras to keep this incredibly cue-heavy show moving along without a hitch!

The Devil’s Torment has gone live!

Posted on August 3, 2026 by Darren Eliker

Fans of these tropes will love The Devil’s Torment!

  • Book 2 in the DeVil Dynasty Series
  • Arranged marriage
  • Alpha male
  • Possessive/jealous/touch her and d!e
  • Age gap (10 years)
  • Morally gray
  • Tortured herro
  • Powerful family

For fans of billionaire mafia romance, the explosive cliffhanger of The Devil’s Pawn starts things off with a bang for Nicholas and Victoria’s story. Book 2 of Tracie Delaney’s terrific series is now live. As all the brothers DeVil and their sister Saskia are all part of the powerful billionaire family, these stories, while unique to each couple, do overlap and follow threads that unfold throughout all five books. Therefore, as the author wisely recommends and I concur, they are best experienced in order to get the full effect. What I love about them is that this family, while powerful and occasionally ruthless when necessary, they actually do love each other very much and do a lot of good in the world. It’s fun to see how they rally around each other and their significant others even if the road to each HEA has their twists and turns, detours, and revelations. There’s something to love about each one of these siblings and in turn, each of their paramours who discover their own amazing strengths as well. While Nicholas, being son number two, is far less broody than his older brother Alexander, he’s still burdened by an incredible pain he’s never gotten over. And the feisty Victoria, not wired to play second fiddle to anyone, finds herself the unfortunate position of “runner up” bride after her sister, Nicholas’ fiancé, is murdered. They’re both going to get to the bottom of things but before they do, they’ve got to get on the same team. Hard to do when she absolutely blames him for everything. Hear how it happens in The Devil’s Torment!

The DeVil is in the Details!

Posted on July 7, 2026 by Darren Eliker

If you love these tropes, then The Devil’s Pawn is for you!

  • BOOK 1 in the DeVil Dynasty Series
  • Arranged marriage
  • Billionaire romance
  • Enemies to lovers
  • Possessive/jealous hero
  • A feisty no-nonsense heroine
  • Age gap
  • Morally gray
  • All the steamy romance goodness

I’m terribly remiss on posting about this wonderful project for lovers of dark romance and morally gray steam-worthy characters. It’s been a month since this gem released and reviews have been terrific. Book 2 is now in pre-order, 3 and 4 are in production and 5 is being written as I write.

Produced by Diane Dykes for Tracie Delaney in cooperation with Elysian Nightfall Studios, The DeVil Dynasty audiobooks follow the family saga of the billionaire DeVil family siblings, 4 brothers and 1 sister, along with their patriarch Charles DeVil, a powerful founding member of The Consortium, a conglomerate of the most powerful and influential families in the world. But even though these billionaires are morally gray, this family has a very decent, honorable and protective thread running through all their unique stories, even if they operate above and outside the law.

You’re About to Be Run Over by a GREAT DANE

Posted on March 19, 2026 by Darren Eliker

My latest collaboration with author Suanne Laqueur just went live and I couldn’t be happier. THE GREAT DANE is the first book any author has written specifically for me to read and it couldn’t be more timely. One of the things I love so much about this work is the ability it gives me to walk in someone else’s shoes. I’ve often told Suanne reading her work has made me a better human…a better man. And THE GREAT DANE does it once again. I’ve never played an intersex character before, not to mention one with heterochromic chimerism, a rare genetic phenomenon in which a person is born with two or more sets of DNA usually resulting from the fusion of two or more embryos. Since working on this book, I’ve come across other intersex people across the spectrum and been exposed to their amazing stories. It’s really helped me see that both sex and gender are and always have been quite fluid and not as binary as once believed. I hope you consider joining me on DANE’s remarkable journey of discovery and self-acceptance…one of romance, identity, power and hope as you “look for yourself along the roadside”.

New Audiobook: Violent Seed by Mary Birk

Posted on February 11, 2026 by Darren Eliker

Revenge is a dish best served cold, as they say. And such is the case here in the fabulous standalone mystery in Mary Birk’s Violent Seed. I love a good mystery that keeps you guessing right up until the end, so I was thrilled when Mary asked me on board to produce and narrate her latest installment in the Terrence Reid series. You don’t have to have read the previous books to fully get all the elements of the characters’ lives. It’s so well contained. Half the fun is how everyone is drawn to Whitethorn Manor to set the stage for all the shenanigans that occur while there. For more details, check it out on my audiobook page! AVAILABLE NOW!!

Ever Tried to Outrun Your Past?

Posted on December 27, 2025 by Darren Eliker

My latest audiobook release, PRECIPICE, a solo thriller project by Bob Maddux deals with that very thing as Andrew Foster, a struggling visionary architect is about to discover. We all have things we wish we’d done differently. The mistakes, the betrayals, the pain we’ve caused others to serve our own selfishness. And when the past comes knocking looking for payback, we all wish we could have a do over. I had a lot of fun recording this for Bob. If you’re a fan of thrillers with an unexpectely redemptive story arc, this one might be for you!

Be Careful What You Wish For

Posted on December 9, 2025 by Darren Eliker

I remember reading Stephen King’s short story collection NIGHTSHIFT as a kid and loving them, so when I began narrating fiction I’d always wanted to do something in the Horror genre. Needless to say, when Christopher Ruíz chose me to narrate and produce The Wishing Well for audio, I was thrilled. The mysterious Montana bar for which the book is named is where wishes are granted by a mysterious shape shifting bartender to patrons young and old because “It’s what you need.” But there’s a catch. There’s always a catch. Flip over to my audiobook page to learn more.
