Without prose, there is no story. Only ideas in a writers head. How a story is told can elevate or debase it, can make the characters clearer or more opaque, can communicate themes and emotions that leave tears on cheeks or create sighs of unfulfilled frustration.

You know how much we love a chance to escape into fantasy worlds with compelling characters, so we’re thrilled to announce that the audiobook version of Blood and Silver is now live on Tower Room Publishing! If you love fantasy romances with a twist, this one's for you. In this retelling of the classic Little Red Riding Hood tale, we meet Alix La Rouge, who’s on a relentless quest for vengeance against the werewolves responsible for her grandmother’s death. But things take a surprising turn when Alix finds herself having to work alongside the very creatures she despises. It’s a wild ride full of tension, unexpected alliances, and, of course, steamy romance. The audiobook features stellar narration by Paige Reisenfeld and PJ Freebourn, who bring Nicole McKeon's vivid characters and world to life. Their dynamic performances capture every thrilling moment and emotional nuance, making it easy to get lost in the story. You can enjoy the 14+ hour audiobook of Blood and Silver wherever you are, whether it's commuting, working out, washing dishes, or relaxing by the pool. Just don't forget to turn the volume down if you happen to be listening to a spicy scene in the car. You know, just in case ;) According to reviewers, the story is a perfect mix of action, romance, and character development. It’s a page-turner (or should we say a "play-next" button pusher?) that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Fans have especially loved the unique spin on the classic fairy tale and the dynamic between characters. It’s been praised for its fast pace and the way it dives deep into the characters' complexities and flaws. So grab your headphones and get ready for an adventure. Head over to our website to check it out. We can’t wait to hear what you think!   p.s. don't forget to go give Paige and PJ a follow on social media and show them some support for their incredible work!

I can feel your panic after reading that headline. I felt the same way. Dread is sliding like ice down your spine as you think, I don't own my ebooks? Unfortunately, in most cases, you don't. When you purchase from platforms like Kindle or Apple Books, you aren't actually buying the book, you're licensing the right to read it using the approved device for as long as you have connected account. This falls under the umbrella of Digital Rights Management, or DRM. Picture DRM as the guard dog of the digital realm, protecting authors from pirates and making sure only the people who purchased the license have the right to access the content. It's more like leasing a book with invisible strings attached than owning it outright. These digital handcuffs mean no sharing, no lending, and definitely no passing that gripping thriller on to your bestie. It also means that if the platform decides to restrict or remove your access to those books, for whatever reason, you have no recourse. The good news is that, in most cases, when you buy directly from authors who self fulfill, you're essentially saying goodbye to DRM headaches. You own that copy of your ebook, just like you own your physical book.  In this age of licensing and digital rights management where platforms like Amazon control your access to the content YOU paid for, buying direct from authors is a little act of literary rebellion. Here are a few benefits to buying direct: 1. DRM-Free Bliss: Direct purchases mean a DRM-free copy of the book. No more compatibility issues or digital handcuffs – it's your book, and you can access it on any device you choose. 2. Supporting the Literary Wizards: Buying directly from authors puts more money in their pockets, which helps them support themselves so they can keep creating the stories you love. 3. Exclusive Bookish Treats: Some direct purchases even come with bonus goodies – think exclusive content, special formatting or art, or even a personal note from the author. It's like getting a backstage pass to the literary concert. 4. Ownership: While platforms like Kindle offer convenience, it's crucial to acknowledge the potential risks. They reserve the right to restrict or even remove your access to DRM-protected content. So if they make a mistake, change their platform, or lose licensing rights, you could lose access to your entire ebook library and hundreds, even thousands, of dollars. Remember, each direct purchase is not just acquiring a book; it's a deliberate choice to support the literary ecosystem in a way that benefits both creators and consumers. It gives you direct ownership of the content you paid for. That's why here, on Tower Room Publishing, we sell directly to readers. You deserve to OWN the copies you've paid for, whether that's an ebook or an audiobook. Happy reading, and may your literary adventures be DRM-free and full of joy! 📚✨
