*~Book Tour: Three Months to Change~*

On Tour with Prism Book Tours



Three Months to Change
By Dinah Roseberry
Paranormal Romance
Paperback & ebook, 208 Pages
September 26th 2018 by Visionary Living, Inc.

Lenora was changing...not in any frightening way. At least, not at first. There was the intense ability to shield herself from abuse that was very empowering. But her other senses had become heightened as well, and that’s when she’d begun seeing scenes from the past, and smoky mists inside her home.

Meeting Frankie in the midst of all this had been a wonderful treat—there weren’t many men who could stir her emotions as he was prone to do. Still, there was something strange about him, something she couldn’t put her finger on. Ah, well, desirable men with the air of mystery were compelling and fun. Weren’t they?

And what about Rex? She wasn’t sure. He was part of a fearsome family, making her wonder if such tales of werewolves and monsters were true. Just how did she fit in? And why would she even want to?

All she kept hearing, however, was that there were only a precious three months before a full change. Time was awastin’.

Working on the Audio for Three Months to Change!
By Dinah Roseberry

I do quite a bit of short audio work for my other paranormal work (www.roseberrybooks.com), and it’s something I love doing. It brings a whole new perspective (my personal perspective) to the work. So when my publisher, Visionary Living, owned by famed paranormal author and researcher Rosemary Ellen Guiley, said that I could do the reading for the audio book of Three Months to Change, I was ecstatic! I (and she) think that the author of the book is the best person to do its reading, especially in fiction, because we are the ones who know the characters so intimately and the story so well. I found, though, that I had my job cut out for me when I took on this lengthy audio book.
The voice is a strange thing. Under normal circumstances, it seems to be a part of the person. Most people don’t even think about it—take it for granted. But there are times, I’m finding, that the voice (and the other parts that allow it to work effectively like the esophagus and brain) does not fully work as efficiently as one might hope. To begin with, early on there was a question I posed to myself: Where the hell did you learn to read out loud? I would stumble over words, skip words, lose my place in a sentence—it was like I’d never read a book in my life! I’d read that you just couldn’t afford to keep starting over when preparing audio because you would never get anything done. So I became really good at editing—hah! A new skill! 
Doing audio from a home studio also presented some issues. Look. I love my dogs. And my husband. And the friggin’ cuckoo clock. But wow. Really? There’s nothing like being halfway through a chapter and having the clock start clucking—loud. Somehow it doesn’t fit in with the heroine in battle. So there’s backtracking, reversing to the last place there was a voice pause and starting again. 
But the very worst and most difficult thing involved when working with audio for me—despite the three glasses of water spiked with lemon before starting and the sips throughout—is coughing or the absolute necessity of clearing the throat. I found that I can only do two chapters at a time, because by the third one, I’m coughing. I’ve tried all the methods I’ve read and been counseled about. The only thing that works is stopping. That does slow down the process!
Still, once it’s recorded, edited (which is getting out the dogs and clocks and phone and air conditioning, etc.), and mastered (getting the final sound right), when you hear it back, it’s as smooth as glass. A masterpiece (in my ears!). You fall in love all over again with the story and the characters…and you don’t want it to end. I just love the process. And true to form, I did not want to leave Lenora in Three Months to Change behind. So I didn’t.

I hope you’ll consider adding the audio to your library once you’ve read Three Months to Change!
