Through The Fold (free audio books)

Cover for 'Marker Stone'So far this series consists of five books, but there's already a sixth in the making, so if you like Science Fiction you're in for a treat. There are some gruesome bits (book 2 and up), so if that's not your cup of tea consider yourself warned...
Happy listening :)

Ear Candy: The Emperor's Edge (free audiobooks)

Cover for 'The Emperor's Edge (a high fantasy novel in an era of steam)'I feel it only fair to warn you: there are only three books of this series available as audiobooks...
Which, frankly, is quite awful, since these stories have everything I could ask for in a book; amazing characters, witty dialogue, adventure, drama (but not the soppy kind...), romance and to top it off, an incredibly gifted narrator. 
This series has basically ruined me for all other books...
I can only hope the author will decide to release all titles as audiobooks (petition, anyone?), otherwise I will have to buy the other ones and find someone willing to read them to me...
