New Audiobook Release! An Exaltation of Larks by Suanne Laqueur

Posted on February 24, 2023 by Darren Eliker

I was standing by the deep end of the pool looking for my next audiobook project, when I felt a caress on the back of my neck. The caress turned into a shove and before I knew it, in I went. When I came to the surface spluttering and coughing, gasping for air, I saw Suanne Laqueur walking away and I swear I heard her laughing. That’s how her award winning novel, An Exaltation of Larks became my latest audiobook. Joining me on this project is the silky-voiced Vanessa DeSilvio reading the female POV chapters. I’m very grateful for the privilege of working with both of these talented women. Head over to the audiobook page or download a copy at Audible today!

Audiobook: All Is Fair by Michael Kenneth Smith

Posted on February 24, 2023 by Darren Eliker

Sorry for the delay. Somehow I missed blogging about this when I added it to my audiobook page, but WWII historical fiction fans and aviation lovers will love this terrific novel by Michael Kenneth Smith. Mike is a true historian who writes with terrific realism that brings his stories to life. This tale takes it to another “plane” (see what I did there?) as he tells the story of a young Polish fighter pilot Jan Orlinski as he escapes his country to eventually fly with the RAF’s fearsome Polish squadron, the famed 303. Check it out on my audiobook page or download a copy at Audible, Amazon, Spotify, and many other platforms!

New Audiobook Released! Bit Flip: A Novel

Posted on October 16, 2022 by Darren Eliker

My latest collaboration with author Mike Trigg has released on Audible.

Click on over to my Audiobook page to hear a sample and find out more!

Tech executive Sam Hughes came to Silicon Valley to “make the world a better place”. He’s just not sure he’s doing that anymore. And when an onstage meltdown sends him into a professional tailspin, he suddenly sees the culture of the Bay Area’s tech bubble in a new light.

NEW AUDIOBOOK RELEASE!

Posted on September 30, 2021 by Darren Eliker

Private Eye Secret Spy by Ian D. Withers

Really honored to work with Ian Withers on his brilliant autobiography covering an amazing career spanning 6 decades!

More from the book…

Ian Withers rewrote the book on what it means to be a Private Investigator. He traversed the world recovering abducted children, gathered intelligence for left and right-wing regimes, and was jailed over a British prime minister’s bad bet. Across 60 years, he chased down fraudsters, bugged leaders of international coups, and cracked open assassination plots. He tracked the IRA’s Hyde Park bomber with a bluffed phone call, located Jeremy Thorpe’s illicit lover, and put his life on the line to return snatched tug-of-love kids to desperate parents.

Now, for the first time, Britain’s most controversial agent-for-hire lifts the lid on an intense life in the darkest of shadows.

Gripping, illuminating, and unflinching, Private Eye, Secret Spy is the thrilling true story of a steely English gentleman’s rise to the top of his game.

“Ian Withers has walked the walk…a frank, honest, and brave confession.” (Gary Murray, author of Enemies of the State)
