IndiePub and the Declaration of Independents
First and foremost – we are sorry we haven’t been doing our daily Audiobook News & Reviews posts. They haven’t been forgotten and we are hoping to get them going again soon.
The reason those posts have fallen to the wayside recently is the launch of our Indie Publishing division. ListenUp Audiobooks has been creating audiobooks for major publishers – Hachette Book Group, Harper Collins, Penguin/Random House, and Audible – for years. This year, though, we opened up the same services to independent and self-published authors through ListenUp IndiePub.
We’ve been busy creating audiobooks for amazing independent authors, including Eve Langlais, Kate Danley, Natasha Boyd, Catherine Lea, and Sara Hubbard.
And now, it’s the middle of June, audiobook month. To celebrate Audiobook Month, we are giving away a finished audiobook! The winner of the Declaration of Independents audiobook contest wins his or her audiobook production and keeps all the rights. No fee to enter, the last day to submit is, fittingly, July 4.
We are also offering a $50 per-finished-hour discount for Indie Authors who use the code “JUNE” this month.
If you know any independent authors, pass it along!
If you’ve listened to any really wonderful audiobooks lately, please let us know and link us to your reviews.

Audiobooks to Get You in the Mood for Valentine’s Day
Single? In a relationship? It’s complicated? No matter your relationship status, getting curled up with a good book will give you those warm fuzzy feelings. Whether you love clean romance or the spicier stuff, historical love stories or the romantic thrillers, we’ve got you covered.
Contemporary Romance
Confessions of a Secret Admirer: A Valentine’s Day Anthology, by Candis Terry, Jennifer Ryan, & Jennifer Seasons, narrated by Andi Arndt, Johanna Parker, & Xe Sands
This sweet anthology, with short stories by three romance favorites, is perfect for the season. The stories will have you smiling, giggling, and blushing and searching for more by these authors and narrators (don’t worry, there’s plenty!).
Erotic Romance
Watch Me, by Shayla Black (writing as Shelley Bradley), narrated by Sasha Dunbrooke
Watch Me packs a lot of punch into just four hours. Shayla Black’s trademark steam won’t keep you waiting, but the stories mystery will keep you guessing until the quickie’s exciting climax.
Fantasy Romance
Fire of Stars and Dragons, by Melissa A. Petreshock, narrated by Casey Holloway, Daniel Thomas May, and Kevin Stillwell
If you like a little extra fantasy in your fantasies, Fire of Stars and Dragons has got it all. Dragons, Demi-gods, and Vampires, a strong female lead, and plenty of sexy scenes. The three narrators fit their roles perfectly.
Clean Romance
Welcome to Last Chance, by Hope Ramsay, narrated by Kristin Kalbli
Sometimes you need romance that is all swoon, no steam. Hope Ramsay’s Last Chance series is about love in a small Southern town between church goers. Kristin Kalbi’s clear narration brings the characters to life.
Young Adult Romance
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, by Jennifer E. Smith, narrated by Casey Holloway
Jennifer E. Smith novels bring up all the first love feelings you need in a young adult romance. It’s a sweet, quick book with major cinematic value. Casey Holloway’s narration is sweet and sincere.
Historical Romance
The Knave of Hearts, by Elizabeth Boyle, narrated by Susan Duerden
Contemporary romance is lovely, but sometimes what you want is some regency in your romance. The Knave of Hearts is the fifth in a series, but works just fine as a standalone. Download and start swooning.
Romantic Suspense
Keep Me Safe, by Maya Banks, narrated by Jeffrey Kafer
Suspenseful romance can get your heart pounding in more ways than one. Keep Me Safe is a suspenseful thriller with a touch of paranormal and plenty of romance.
Let us know in the comments what you’re reading this weekend! All of our Romance Audiobooks are on sale, so download a few to keep you entertained.
