NEW! Death In Advertising & Wildcat | $9.99 Downloads!

NEW AUDIOBOOK RELEASE DEATH IN ADVERTISING By Stephen Hawley Martin Read by Michael Bowen   The protagonist, Brian Durston, is a bright young hotshot who left a big New York ad agency, and the fast track to mega bucks, to join his uncle's medium-sized firm. Why? His uncle promised to turn over his stake in the agency. The future looks bright until Brian discovers his uncle slumped on his desk with a bullet through his brain. WHAT THE CRITICS THOUGHT OF THE BOOK: “A thrilling and evocative read,” according to Mike Chapman, the Editor-in-Chief of ADWEEK magazine. It’s not just the author’s insider-view of a creative and bustling ad agency that will keep you turning pages. It’s romance, intrigue, and a sinister killer lurking in the shadows. Not only did it win First Place for Fiction from Writer’s Digest, consider what these advertising professions have to say:     “The author lifts the mystery about what goes on inside an ad agency. His characters are real ad people, talking the talk, while murder is added to their list of anxieties.” —David N. Martin, Founder, The Martin Agency “ . . . enough twists and turns to keep you guessing to the very end. . . . Martin weaves interesting characters together, keeps the plot moving and gives the reader a fun read.” —Richard E Klein, Principal, Fogarty Klein & Partners “Stephen Hawley Martin knows the ad business well, but we already knew that. Now we know that he can also write a taut, compelling thriller that keeps the reader guessing from the opening page.” —O. Burtch Drake, President & CEO, American Association of Advertising Agencies “A great murder mystery that keeps the reader on the edge of his or her seat, so to speak, until the very end. Finally, a novel about the advertising business that portrays it as it really is. A great read!” —Ed Eskandarian, Chairman & CEO, Arnold Communications “Well done!” —Joseph J. Cronin, President & CEO, Saatchi & Saatchi NEW AUDIOBOOK RELEASE WILDCAT By Wayne Barton & Stan Williams Read by Rusty Nelson    It was the end of an era, and the beginning of an ever-evolving world of fast money, fast women, fast talkers...and fast death. Texas was just as noisy, reckless, and wide open in 1914 as it was in the days of the Wild West — with one important exception: success no longer paid off in livable wages, it paid off in millions. Lee Temple, fresh out of a Fort Worth jail and broke, knew that to survive he'd have to give in to change. No sooner had he ditched his saddle than he got caught in a fracas involving the newly rich oil trash Hargroves. There was Harry, the bright, sensitive, but quick-tempered would-be writer he'd befriended; Harry's ruthless, violent father, Cotton; and Elizabeth, Cotton's free-thinking daughter, as beautiful as she was daring...and dangerous. Before long, Lee was riding shotgun for a major Hargrove concern — dodging lies as well as a murderous sniper's bullets in a new kind of business that was as dirty as the grimy black earth from which it was born. Bringing to light the last and most compelling chapter of the American frontier, Wayne Barton and partner Stan Williams are the most exciting and distinctive storytellers writing about the American West.

A CIVIL WAR STORY:
JED
By Warren Lee Goss
Read by Gene Engene

   1889 Civil War Story of Battle and Prison, of Peril and Escape - The incidents of the book are real ones, drawn in part from the writer's personal experiences and observations as a soldier of the Union during that war. He is also indebted to many comrades for reminiscences of battle and prison life. The perilous escape of Jed and Dick, from Andersonville down the Flint and Apalachicola Rivers, to the Gulf of Mexico, is in substance the narrative of a comrade whom the writer knew at Andersonville, and afterwards met when the war had closed. The descriptions of the prison are especially truthful, for in them the author briefly tells what he himself saw.

3 NEW AUDIOBOOKS + EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW!

NEW AUDIOBOOK RELEASE ROGUE DERELICT By Joseph R. Lallo Read by Rebecca Cook       Rogue Derelict is pulse-pounding side-story set in the universe of Lindsay Buroker’s Fallen Empire Series.    In the chaos following the fall of the empire, Benita Castor wants nothing more than to live a nice quiet life. She thought she made all the right decisions. What could be safer than becoming an accountant? Where could she be more secure than the industrial fringe of the empire’s most civilized planet? Yet somehow, she finds herself in the employ of a crime boss and is shipped off to audit a recent acquisition in a forgotten corner of the system.    Her new assignment is an old Kirian space station being developed by Nori Veshcha, an enterprising woman with big plans for the relic. Nori is overflowing with ambition, innovative ideas, and confidence—though her crew leaves something to be desired. Her chief technician, Blick Mathson, is a man more familiar with collecting debts than repairing ships. The only other crew member, her personal valet Lefty Hammermill, is a dim-witted but well-meaning grunt with secondhand cybernetics. Not much of a workforce to tackle the task of converting a centuries-old hunk of junk into a cutting-edge resort, but Nori is nothing if not determined.    At first, the assignment has the makings of an unpleasant but uneventful enterprise, even if Nori is somewhat overly cool, Blick is a bit overly warm, and Lefty is just overly Lefty. When a second relic of a bygone era makes an unscheduled arrival and its crew assumes Benita is their Kirian commander, she and the others realize the echoes of the past could have grave consequences for their future.    Can a mismatched skeleton crew on a malfunctioning space station rise to the challenge, or will a remnant of history remind the system that some threats aren’t gone, they’re simply forgotten? NEW AUDIOBOOK RELEASE SMASHING THE DC MONOPOLY By Tom A. Coburn Read by Cameron Beierle    Pork-barrel projects like the $452 million “bridge to nowhere” and Keynesian economic debacles like the $840 billion stimulus package that saved as few as 600,000 jobs ($1.4 million per job) have led to a staggering $20 trillion in national debt―about $150,000 per citizen. With most members of Congress focusing only on their own interests, it’s time to smash the DC elitists’ monopoly and rein in spending and extra-constitutional overreach.    Although the Constitution established a framework for limited federal power and expansive personal freedoms, self-interested politicians and activist court rulings have seriously imbalanced the system. Smashing the DC Monopoly provides the solution to how we the people can finally wrestle control away from Washington insiders and back to our local and state representatives.    Having spent more than fifteen years fighting government fraud and irresponsibility, Sen. Tom Coburn reveals that at least $150 billion could be saved annually by eliminating waste and duplication in the federal government. Indeed, while serving on the Simpson-Bowles Commission, Senator Coburn worked on a proposal to reduce the deficit by $4 trillion over ten years (which, although a good first step, is but still a drop in the bucket compared to the federal government’s $143 trillion in unfunded liabilities).    Yet the profligate spending and mismanagement continue unabated. In fact, the growth of government has led to a divided, debt-ridden nation of dependent citizens with decreasing personal freedoms. It’s time for the people to take charge.    The Constitution's Framers anticipated a time when self-interested officials would be unwilling or unable to act in the people’s long-term interest. Thus, they included the safety feature of Article V that allows the people to propose amendments to the Constitution through the actions of their state legislatures. Already a growing number of grassroots organizations are actively promoting a convention of the states to address issues such as mandatory balancing of the federal budget, term limits on congressional members, and limits on the federal judiciary.    Giving up on the political class, Smashing the DC Monopoly argues for an Article V amendments convention as the best solution to limit the power and scope of the federal government. The book provides the historical background for Article V, reveals past attempts to hold an amendments convention, explains the inherent safety of this process, and examines the current efforts since 2010. Senator Tom Coburn explains how we the people can at last re-balance our governmental system and counter the dysfunction in Washington. NEW AUDIOBOOK RELEASE WRATH - THE MILLENNIUM By D.R. Roquemore Wrath Trilogy, Book 3 Read by Jerry Sciarrio    During the Millennium, Jesus will restore the Earth to the perfection it had before Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden. All of the curses listed in Genesis chapter three will be removed. However, those who survive the Great Tribulation and are allowed to enter the Millennium will continue to sin.    Wrath - The Millennium, is the third and final book in the Wrath Trilogy. Jackson and Anna have survived the Great Tribulation and now begin their new life together. This final book provides a fascinating look into what life will be like during the thousand-year reign of Christ. The story includes the great rebellion at the end of the Millennium, then concludes with The Judgement Seat of Christ, The Great White Throne Judgement, and eternity. ENTER THE WRATH TRILOGY by D.R. ROQUEMORE    Books in Motion is excited to announce the return of Stephanie Brush to our roster of world-class actor/narrators. Back in 2007 Stephanie found a calling as an English teacher during a trip overseas to the Czech Republic. She decided to stay and has been enjoying life on another continent ever since. However, at that time distance and circumstances made it impossible for her to continue in the field of audio book narration. Recently though, due to changes in technology and better access to recording facilities we are again able to collaborate, and the first result has been a new period piece murder mystery written by Larry Names titles “A Two Reel Murder”.  In the following interview, Stephanie discusses getting back in the saddle as a narrator/storyteller, her approach to the material as an actor, and how she feels about her faithful listeners and followers. LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW HERE FEATURED AUDIOBOOK RELEASE A TWO REEL MURDER By Larry Names A Maisy Malone Mystery, Book 1 Read by Stephanie Brush    Maisy Malone went to Hollywood to become a star in motion pictures. Instead she became a sleuth, not by choice but by chance when she stumbled into a murder. Los Angeles Police Detective Ed Browning intended to write off the death of actor Leslie Clover as an accident until Maisy said she could prove the man was murdered. To top that off, she bet him she could solve the murder before he could. Browning took the bet and the contest was on to catch a killer. Browning only had a bunch of inexperienced, clumsy, bungling cops to help him, while Maisy had the aid of silent screen actress and comedy queen Mabel Normand. The detective and the actress went to the wire nose-to-nose in their race to solve the crime and needed a photo finish to determine the winner.

Review: “I very much liked the historical flavor that was brought to the story, both the period and the place were well drawn. Of course, that is what we expect from a Larry Names book. I was impressed with the level of detection that Maisy brings to the story. Most current mysteries are about the characters, the setting and the action. What gets left out of that equation is unraveling clues. I can show you a dozen very successful books where the detective goes from place to place collecting clues only to have the villain reveal himself unexpectedly in the last chapter. Not so with Maisy Malone in A Two Reel Murder.” - Tom Colgan, Executive Editor, Penguin Putnam Publishing Group STEPHANIE BRUSH - For a special, exclusive return to narrating an audiobook for Books In Motion - THANK YOU! — LATEST NEWS & EVENTS — FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK FOLLOW US ON TWITTER
