Mr. Frank's Avalanche of Audio

 I've got three announcements of an aural nature. Excited? I knew you would be. 

(Hey! Let a guy dream.)

First and foremost, DEATH GETS A BOOK is now an audiobook available on Audible. I decided it was time to get some of my work out there in audiobook format. I didn't expect the task of finding the right narrator for the job as daunting as it turned out to be. The process made me realize how much I value my work and when placing into the hands of someone else to care for, I wanted to be sure I had the exact right voice for the job. 

Well, I failed at that. What happened was I connected with a voice talent that exceeded my expectations. Ron Gabaldon, the narrator for DEATH GETS A BOOK audiobook, owned the story. He didn't just read the story, he owned the story. I don't hear him narrating the book so much as performing the story. DEATH GETS A BOOK is a vocal performance, entertaining from the first word to the last.

If you are an active audiobook listener, you need to check DEATH GETS A BOOK out. I'm confidant you'll be whisked away to the land of Grim Reapers I've created and Ron Gabaldon has brought to life. 

*(A special offer to those who read this blog: The first 5 interested parties to email me (frankjedler at gmail) will receive a free download code (US and UK) for DEATH GETS A BOOK at Audible.com)

The other two audio presentations I have for you are recent podcast appearances.

First, I found this great new horror focused podcast called The Horror Frequency whose host, Anthony, is a young, curious talent who produces a fun sounding show. You can check out my appearance on The Horror Frequency on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Radio Public and more. We talk about A DEATH IN TOLEDO, creepy places in New Jersey, unlikely books two horror guys are into and great kaiju movies.

And last, but not least, I made my triumphant return to Arm Cast, Dead Sexy Podcast. I have a fun conversation with Armand Rosamilia about why it was time to write a new Death book, adventures in marketing, what I'm doing to sell books in the pandemic era and I even coax a "Nice" out of Armand which is essential to claiming a great appearance on the show. 

There it is. More audio pleasures than you can shake a stick at. And, I don't know about you, but I can shake a stick at quite a bit of audio pleasure. Happy listening!

Death Goes To Bat

 A Death in Toledo is my latest release and a return to the world of Grim Reapers introduced in Death Gets a Book. 

A Death in Toledo is the story of a Grim Reaper, tasked to return the soul of Lawrence Nurdle. Lawrence is a dork who fancies himself a goth edge lord who, tries to win the favor of his ex-girlfriend, only to get himself killed by a coven of vampires. 

Its a simple enough task for Death until the leader of the vampire coven, Drokk, transforms Lawrence with the blood ritual. Lawrence is no longer dead, he's undead and that creates a problematic loophole for Death. Death can only escort dead souls to the River Styx and on to the Hereafter. 

Now, Death must convince Lawrence to kill himself so he can be brought to the end of his mortal journey. Drokk is not willing to give up Lawrence so easily, he's got plans for him as well. And it just may have to be settled over a game of the great American pastime, a baseball game.

Supernatural beings square off again competing for another lost soul in the all-new Death book, A Death in Toledo. 

This book is a stand alone set in the world of Grim Reapers I've created. You can enjoy reading it without having read Death Gets a Book. Or, if you've already enjoyed Death Gets a Book this a fun new story featuring a different cast of Grim Reapers set in the same world.

A Death in Toledo is available now in Paperback and Kindle eBook and is available to subscribers of Kindle Unlimited. It is just 99 cents for the Kindle version until Jan. 24th, 2021.

The Obituaries

I have two new Deaths to announce today.

First, A Death in Toledo, will be released on January 15th, 2021. You can reserve your Kindle Edition copy for only 99 cents now through January 14th. A Death in Toledo is a new book in the world first created in Death Gets a Book. This is not Death Gets a Book Part 2. A Death in Toledo is an all new story featuring all new Grim Reapers. There's vampires, edge lords, goths, punks, old people, Bon Jovi and much more crammed into this new dark horror comedy.

"Lawrence Nurdle fancies himself a Goth Edgelord. His girlfriend isn't impressed. To convince her he's the edgiest guy in Toledo, Ohio he joins a coven of vampires. The vampires kill Lawrence.

Death just wants to enjoy a ballgame. But Death has a job to do and must collect the soul of Lawrence Nurdle. There's just one problem. Death can only collect the souls of the dead and Lawrence is now undead, like the rest of the vampires."

If you enjoyed Death Gets a Book you're going to dig A Death in Toledo. If you've not read Death Gets a Book, no worries, A Death in Toledo stands on its own merit and is accessible for anyone who hasn't yet immersed themselves into my wild world of Grim Reapers.

A Death in Toledo will be available in Kindle eBook and paperback as well as available to subscribers of Kindle Unlimited on January 15th, 2021.

The second Death I need to announce is Death Gets A Book is currently in production to become an audiobook! That's right, I'm taking the plunge into the audiobook world with my first release, Death Gets a Book. I'm excited to get this out to the world. I'm working with a great narrator that is excited to make the world of Death Gets a Book come to life in your head. 

Details on the release of the audiobook version of Death Gets A Book are sparse at the moment. Production is expected to be completed mid-January. As I understand it, there are some delays on Audible's end but I am hoping for a release in February or March if all goes well. Stay tuned for more details as they become available.

You Could Win A Death!

On November 11, 2016 I released my novella, DEATH GETS A BOOK. I did a book signing at Demented Brewing with fellow author Chuck Buda to celebrate the release. It was a great success and I sold out of all copies of DEATH GETS A BOOK that night!

I demand Chuck buy DEATH GETS A BOOK!

DEATH GETS A BOOK is the story of a couple who've been unceremoniously transformed into agents of the recently deceased. The husband, Vincent, becomes a grim reaper and his wife, Wanda, turns into a banshee. The thing is, in life, Wanda has been a life long verbally abusive and controlling wife. Vincent sees his chance, in death, of starting anew and becoming his own man. Unfortunately, Wanda doesn't really believe in the concept of "until death do we part" and she sees it fit to continue to try to control and torment Vincent even in the afterlife. But Vincent find new friends and even a new love interest along the way. To make matters worse, his former wife has already screwed up his first day on the job. There will be midget reapers, action figure reapers, cowboy reapers, loopy witches, self-centered banshees and a monster truck battle for the ages.
