Audio!

As you may or may not know, Book 1 of the series, A Girl Like You, was released on audio through Amazon in 2017. For various reasons, the release of the rest of the series was stalled…until now! After receiving tons of requests from readers, I’ve decided to partner with Findaway Voices to produce and distribute the series to over 40 different venues, including Amazon, Itunes, Nook, Google, your local library, and many others!

Best of all, the amazingly talented, award-winning, Jayne Entwistle, has agreed to return as the narrator! I’ll keep you posted as the audio books are released. Hope you enjoy!

Book 1 available now!!

Coming soon . . .

A special request . . .

Please take a quick second to follow me on Book Bub!!!! I’m trying to get 1,000 followers before book 5 of the Henrietta and Inspector Howard series—A Child Lost—comes out into the world.

If I do, then I stand a better chance of Book Bub putting me in front of their millions of readers!!! (Currently, I’m at 746, so we can do it!)

It will really help me, and it just takes a second: https://www.bookbub.com/profile/michelle-cox
