Angelic Tails: True Stories of Heavenly Canine Companions

by Joan Wester Anderson

From the author of the New York Times bestseller, Where Angels Walk, Angelic Tails is a collection of down-to-earth true stories from ordinary people who believe that God has graced their lives through “angel” dogs–heavenly canine companions. Each of the 30 stories challenges readers to reconsider their conception of angels – from the story of a former Air Force colonel whose golden retrievers served as his heavenly helpers in the Colorado wilderness to the account of St. John Bosco, who, for more than 30 years, was protected by an angelic dog as he walked the dangerous city streets. In the end, for all who see through the eyes of faith, this book is evidence that God can use even muddy paws and cold noses to fulfill his purposes in our world.

For dog lovers and anyone who believes in the presence of angels, Angelic Tails will uplift and inspire.

Miss Zukas and the Library Murders

By Jo Derekse

Meet Miss Zukas, the very proper, exceedingly conscientious, and relentlessly curious local librarian of Bellehaven, Washington. The Bellehaven police are baffled when a dead body turns up right in the middle of the library’s fiction stacks. But Miss Helma Zukas—who never fails to make note of the slightest deviation from the norm—is not willing to let this nasty disruption stand. If the local law can’t open the book on this case, Miss Zukas certainly intends to—with the help of her not-so-proper best friend, Ruth, a six-foot bohemian artist with a nose for gossip and a penchant for trouble. This is the first entry in the twelve-book series originally published by Avon/HarperCollins.

The twelve Miss Zukas books have been bestsellers on various mystery lists and in bookstores, including several months as the number one paperback for the Mystery Booksellers Association. The New York Times called the series, “A loving send-up of the prim and proper librarian” and the Toronto Sun said “If you enjoy a light-hearted mystery, you’re in for a good time.”

The beautiful tale of a courageous widow who dares the Oregon Trail with a man whose past haunts him at every turn. 

I’m ecstatic to announce that I will soon be voicing Cheryl Bradshaw‘s Sloane Monroe series! Cheryl is a USA Today Bestseller and an incredibly talented writer, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to narrate and produce this series of mystery/thrillers.

CRYSTAL SERSHEN

I am an Audible-Approved audiobook narrator, voiceover artist, and professional actress with an MA in classical theatre from New York University. My theatrical background provides me with a great facility for expression, creating characters, and a variety of accents. I have performed on stages throughout Southern California and been associated with some of Los Angeles’ most prominent theatre companies, including The Will Geer Theatricum, The Actors’ Gang, and City Garage. I honor literature immensely and love bringing words to life.

My professional post-production experience in film and broadcast television greatly facilitate the production element required to fully produce and master professional audiobooks. I worked as a story editor and assistant editor on MTV’s Made, Bravo’s The It Factor, and VH1’s Totally Obsessed. I have also shot and edited two short documentary films (viewable on my website The Bohemian Heart).

My state-of-the-art studio, Femme Vocale, delivers the highest-quality audio, with latest generation iMac, Focusrite Scarlett audio interface, Pro Tools 10, Audio Technica 2035 large diaphragm studio condenser cardioid mic, Waves plugin suite, and iZotope RX.

You might not know it to look at me, but as a second-degree black belt, former second mate and forklift driver, I’ve got a mean left hook and can drink just about any sailor under the table. But the real secret of my success is my little pooch (and production assistant), Howlin’ Jay Hampton, who makes my world a vastly better place.

Audiobook narration and production is a natural for me, the perfect amalgam of my creative talents.
