The last audiobook excerpt Vlog, and my favourite scene

Today I’m playing the last of the audiobook excerpts from my book “The Senthien” and, as a proper romance author, I chose this one to be one of the romantic scenes.

Sam Swift at “Swift Escape” book giveaway

I figured since I have the paperback for “The Senthien” and “The Mind”, I might as well do one for my tech-thriller stand-alone novel “Swift Escape”. And for this episode I invited someone very special: Sam Swift, a main male protagonist of “Swift Escape”.

I hope you enjoy it ๐Ÿ™‚
