Heart and Home Audiobook is Under Way!

I'm really excited to announce that the audiobook for Heart and Home is underway. I've been chatting back and forth with voiceover artist, Sarah Pavelec, and she will begin recording the first fifteen minutes of audio this weekend.

Making an audiobook takes a lot of time, and with Heart and Home coming in well over 23 hours, it may not be available until mid to late November, but it's something to look forward to!

I am also anxiously awaiting the print edition, so I can inspect it and make sure it's ready to go. Here's hoping that will be available by next week.

In the meantime, you can check out Heart and Home on your eReader, tablet or mobile phone app* for just $4.99!

Amazon, Amazon UK, Amazon Canada, Amazon Mexico, Amazon India, Amazon Germany, Amazon Japan, Amazon France, Amazon Italy, Amazon Brazil, All Romance eBooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo and Smashwords.

If you've already read it, I hope you'll consider leaving a review on the site where you purchased it and telling friends about it! 

*Coming soon to iBooks and Sony.

About Heart and Home by Jennifer Melzer

I wish I could say Heart and Home was a direct byproduct of losing my mother, but the truth is I started writing it in 2006, the year I graduated from Bloomsburg University. It was the first time I'd ever participated in NaNoWriMo, which at the time seemed like a ridiculously silly thing to do, especially considering I was literally about four weeks away from graduating college. But I had a fabulous writer's group in my corner, and it was going to be fun.

It was actually a lot of fun. As I started writing, I immediately fell in love with Janice, my main character. She was smart, a little tired, but she seemed to know exactly who she was and what she wanted from life. As the words flew from my penny pencil... wait, sorry, I lapsed into A Christmas Story for a second there... As the words flew from my fingertips, I found myself falling in love with Troy Kepner, alongside the few friends in my writer's group who were reading chapter by chapter as I posted the first draft on our site.

And then life happened, as it all too often does. I graduated, found myself overwhelmed with freelance work and the 70,000-some words I wrote between November and January got pushed aside. I started working on other projects and nearly forgot it existed until my laptop took a dive last fall and I realized it wasn't saved on any of my thumb drives.
