"Silken" narrated by Gomez Pugh.

Hello all,

I have TWO audio releases this week.

"Return to Zero" (Shatterproof Bond #3) is now out in audio, narrated by Gary Furlong. He has done such a great job with the narration of my series, and so he will also be narrating my Sam Aiken short, "Top Hat", to be released at the end of August, and "Counterblow" (Shatterproof Bond #4) which will be released in early September.

As You Wish -

Illuminate the Shadows-

Return to Zero -

I am over the moon to share that my BDSM/Cross Dressing novella "Silken" has been narrated by Gomez Pugh It's been a dream of mine to have one of my stories narrated by Gomez. I have loved his work with Jordan Castillo Price, and Josh Lanyon. Now I have a performance of my very own, and it is such a thrill to hear him reading my words. Gomez really puts his sexy on for the voice of my Dom "Austin". This audiobook is sure to make your toes curl.

"Silken" should be on Audible by Wednesday 2nd August, so look out for it.

My next novel "Sweet Thing" is being proofed, and I am aiming for a release at the end of August.


That's all folks, Happy reading.

Audiobook #2

Hello, Dear readers.

The audiobook for "Illuminate the Shadows" has been proofed and approved, and OMG! it is SERIOUSLY hot. Gary Furlong does such an amazing job with Declan Ramsay's Scot's accent, and if you've already read this book you will know that Declan does a 'bit' of dirty talk! Gary gets so into it. ;-)

I am hoping that Audible will release the audiobook by the 16th June. I will keep you all posted.

I will also have a new release by the end of June. "Sweet Thing" is from my Pretty Boy series, about a couple of male model best friends, unrequited love, betrayal and the search for a happy ending. "Sweet Thing" is Simeon Duchamp's M/M Romance story, and it is gorgeous - as is the cover! Take a look here:

Sweet Thing ( A Pretty Boy Series M/M Novel) by Isobel Starling

Thanks for reading, and for leaving reviews.
Warmest wishes

As You Wish Audio & Counterblow

I am delighted to share that "As You Wish" (Shatterproof Bond #1) is now available as an audiobook.

I had such a long journey with finding a narrator who could not only do Sam justice but also narrate a range of flawless Scots accents. Irish voice actor Gary Furlong does an AMAZING job with the narration. His performance of Declan contains all grumpy Scotsman with a touch of vulnerability.... and hearing my sex scenes being narrated... WOW! Now that turned me into a giggling schoolgirl! :-)

You can listen to a sample here:

US:

UK:

"Illuminate the Shadows" (Shatterproof Bond #2) is currently in production and should be ready by early July.

Counterblow began as a short story that was supposed to deal with the aftermath of the events in "Return to Zero", but as per usual, the story had a life of its own and is now a novel. It will be released on 26th May and is available for pre-order here:



For the first month of release the book comes with a BONUS short story - a prequel Sam Aiken story titled Top Hat After a month the story will then be released as a seperate short.

I am now currently working on "Powder Burns" (Shatterproof Bond #5) :-)

Thanks for reading.

TWO NEW RELEASES!!!

Those of you who have read "As You Wish" can attest to the fact that Sam Aiken and Declan Ramsay are frickin adorable together. My heart well and truly belongs to these guys.

I have written two novels NEW featuring Sam and Declan. I think if i had to pigeonhole them in a genre, they would be 'comedy thriller'.

The first book is called, "Illuminate the Shadows", will be released on 9th May, and is available for pre order on ARe. It begins where we left our lovers- entwined in one anothers arms... But soon enough they have to face reality, and Sir James Aiken.

There is an excerpt on my wordpress blog. It is such a beautiful scene.

Sam and Declan have invited Annabelle and Oliver to their home for dinner, and decide to share their relationship status. Oliver is horrified that his brother is bisexual... and sparks fly.



The second book is the follow on, and titled "Return to Zero' and it is a much longer and a much darker affair. I must admit i teared up a lot while writing and editing this story. We get to learn a lot about both Sam and Declan's past. But readers, please don't fret too much... the epilogue is a delight! This book will be released a month after "Illuminate the Shadows" on 6th June.

I will be painting some scenes from the books and adding the Sam and Declan artwork to my new website. If you want to see, please check on my Facebook page, as i will post a public link there.

Happy reading :-)

NEW STUFF!

Dear readers.

I would firstly like to apologise for my first novel 'Schonling'. Not in it's entirety...but for the typos. When I published it back in March,I was so happy to have actually completed a book that I tossed it out to the world without a good enough edit. The book wasn't ready to fly unaided.
Can we excuse this as a newbie error?
I understand as an avid reader that seeing typos can annoy me and put me off a story. But actually,when I thought about it and books I adore, even with typos, I find a little comfort.
I love the 'In the Company of Shadows' series and have learned alot from Authors Santino Hassell and Ais Lin and their experience with their books and errors. Newbie author's generally just cannot afford proffessional editing. But should that prevent us from sharing our work with the world? Sonny and Ais were writing for the love of it and the simple joy of sharing a story. And then it grew and became a cult hit. No matter the errors in those books, the story shone through and the passion of the writing made the series a hidden gem, in need of a little polish, but strangely perfect in its imperfection.
I found reading that series profoudly inspirational. And so, in putting my own WIP out to public scruitiny I hoped that readers would give a newbie, self publisher a chance.

I have learned alot with my first experience of self publishing and am disappointed that some imperfections in spelling and jumpy format may have put some readers off completing the book. I would like to thank those readers who could look beyond the small flaws and find the beautiful and touching story beneath. Because I do think it is a beautiful story,and it deserves an audience.

I have now re-edited 'Schonling' and it has a brand new cover. I am also close to releasing 'New York's In Love'- an M/M prequel novella about the 'bromance' between my characters Pieter Bayer and his best friend Simeon Duchamp. It is a funny, hot and sweet story of unrequited love, set over a month of them living together in NYC. The events occur six months before 'Schonling'.

I am also completing the third book in the Pretty Boy series,'Sweet Thing', an M/M novel that follows on from where we left off in 'Schonling' with Simeon Duchamp's story. It is possibly the best in the series, in my opinion. Simeon's a funny, sweet,but broken young man and his journey from 'New York's in Love', throught 'Schonling' and onto his own story in 'Sweet Thing' is a roller coaster and deeply moving.

I do hope you'll come along for the ride.

Passed the Smashwords meatgrinder!

I can't believe it. It appears two weeks of editing was well worth the time and sleepless nights of worry! My book has passed the dreaded Smashwords Meatgrinder with no errors and is in their catalogue and in Kobo's too. I'm very impressed with the speed of distribution.
