My second audiobook, “The Crystal Cave: A Novella” by Sandra Miller,  is now available for purchase through Audible and Amazon and it should appear in the iTunes market in a day or so.

Here’s the synopsis:

Taran shouldn’t exist. And if the most powerful necromancer in the world has his way – he won’t.

Taran’s life is full of contradictions.

In a world where sorcery doesn’t exist, young Taran is a sorcerer. Dreams should be harmless and private, but Taran’s entire village dies, because of a dream. He has a frightening, unique talent, powerful enemies, and murderous vengeance to seek.

Why was his hometown ruthlessly destroyed? Why do horrible events continue to follow him wherever he goes?

He must face his fate, and find his freedom, in the Crystal Cave.

Boo hiss.  More rejections.

I’ve gotten three since my last update.  One the night before my vacation started, one during, and one shortly after I got back.  Each of them were form letters.  So, that makes a total of ten rejections.  Two more for “Jenny Kissed Me” and one more for “Jenny of Lebanon”.
