The Opposites Audiobook Tour;

The O'Raven Chronicles is entirely pleased to present this stop post for the Opposites Audiobook tour for Author T. M. Smith.



Opposites is now available on Audiobook 
Written by T.M. Smith
Narrated by Greg Boudreaux


In the year 2081, our planet survived global warming on an apocalyptic scale. When the dust settled and the water receded, Dr. Anthony Smith, one of only a few hundred survivors of GWI, started society anew. Having come to the conclusion that injudicious breeding played a huge role in the destruction of Earth as we knew it in the twenty first century, he worked closely with other survivors to isolate the Dionysus gene: the gene has the ability to manipulate human DNA to ensure that all male children be born gay, and all female children be born lesbians. 

A new society was born

In the year 2300 Dr. Smith’s descendants are ushering in the twenty fourth century having maintained control of the government that still rules society. Twins, Aiya and Aiyan, are preparing to meet their matches and take control of House Gaeland, the current ruling House. But not everything is as it seems. 


Nature vs Nurture 

Love is Love... it knows no gender and doesn’t conform to restrictions or boundaries. Aiyan has found his soul mate in Kaden, the prince of House Devi, that he is matched with and eventually marries. But when the person Aiya falls in love with tests the boundaries put in place after GWI, all hell breaks loose. And in the midst of one secret unraveling, another will emerge. There is a growing anomaly that threatens to destroy over two hundred years of progression. This anomaly is known as Opposites. 

*WARNING* Opposites is an Adult Dystopian majorly M/M novel that contains explicit sexual content and relationships between gay, lesbian and straight couples. There are brief scenes of violence. 

Opposites: Audible | Amazon Audio | iTunes




Meet the Narrator of the Opposites series; Greg Boudreaux
The spicier side of the oh so amazing narrator, Greg Tremblay, Boudreaux brings the more erotic LGBT titles to life like the Opposites series by TM Smith - the Fitting In series by Silvia Violet and the Assassin/Shifter series by Sandrine Gasq Dion, just to name a few! 



You can find Boudreaux on Facebook, Twitter or Audible.
 

The Real Life Raven of Opposites which is yours truly asked Narrator Greg Boudreaux some questions to find out more about his personality and here are the results of that interview...  


What got you into this line of work and what do you most enjoy about it?

I studied theater as an undergraduate, and voice acting was the area I most wanted to explore. As it happened, I spent a while doing other things, but about 4 years ago I had the chance to start work in audiobooks, which are one of my very favorite mediums, and here I am! I love stories, so being able to spend my life immersed in them is bliss.


Are there any books or characters that stand out for you from your career that are either favorites, or they connected with you more deeply?

I will always have a soft spot for Ford’s characters of Jae and Cole from the Cole McGinnis series… I spent a long time with them over the course of the series, and “Dirty Kiss” was my very first audiobook… so. You never forget your first. 
 

You have been narrating for a while, what type of book would you write if you were going to be an author?

I am a long time SciFi/Fantasy lover… and that is likely the direction I would/will go. Like many people I’ve got a number of novel ideas that bounce around. Not sure if the time will present, but. We shall see. 


What genre of books do you like to narrate most of all?

Hmm. I’m going to take an easy way out a bit and say “fiction” but that’s really the most accurate. I enjoy aspects of a number of the fiction genres, and … yeah. I like books with a sense of humor, with some sly wit written in.


What types of books do you read for entertainment outside of narrating?

For personal consumption I am omnivorous… I listen pretty much exclusively, because so much of my text reading time is taken up with work. I listen to a huge array of books, partly to consume the work my colleagues do. I enjoy a lot of the non-fic memoir type books and investigative journalism books, fiction, humor…. My audible library is pretty eclectic!


What is your favorite color? I always love asking this because I think it says a lot about a person's personality lol.

Blue! It makes my eyes stand out too, so that’s a nice benefit.


If you could do any other kind of job what would it be and why?

*laugh* I fall in love with the job of every main character I read briefly. In reality, I’ve done a lot of different things (Did whale watching tours, short order cook, computer specialist, paramedic, scuba instructor, blacksmith, shod horses) … and this one is the most “ME” as an actor. I guess I’d love to try “independently wealthy philanthropist” … so if anyone’s looking for someone to fill that role?


If you were a super-hero or fantasy character what type of character or hero would you be? And what supernatural power or ability would you want? lol

I know this is a HUUUGE stretch, but. A bard. I’m like a … paladin with really tragic hedonist tendencies. Hee. Boyscout with a blindfold? Anyway. Yeah. As for superpower...I would want the ability to talk to animals. 

What’s next for Greg Tremblay Voiceovers?

On the immediate horizon, travel! I’ll be all over the Midwest this fall at GRL and World Fantasy con in October… various industry mixer events. On the long term horizon, more books! Also trying to get into a bit of the animation business here on the east coast. Fingers crossed!!

Thank you so much Greg for you taking time to answer these questions for all of us inquiring minds! 

So there you have it folks, a Well educated Narrator with a background in The Arts, who is also an aspiring wealthy philanthropist, and would be Bard with supernatural Doctor Doolittle powers who loves the color blue. If that doesn't paint the picture of a truly interesting human being, I don't know what does. lol

The Slave for Two Blog Tour


The O'Raven Chronicles is pleased to present this stop post on the Slave for Two Blog Tour for Author Morticia Knight



What is destined cannot be changed



Chris has had a monumentally bad month. First, an aggressive band of aliens invaded the Earth, conquered the world, and now he’s fighting for survival in the mountains with his family and the neighborhood bigot. Just because he’s barely out of his teens and a bit on the scrawny side doesn’t mean he can’t watch out for his mom, sisters and younger cousin. Chris keeps searching for the brighter side of things, but his humor is wearing thin. Fear can do that to a guy.

Lasar and Nary are a soul matched pair of warriors from Alashar. Lasar is Nary’s Ahna, the one who dominates him, and Nary is the Nasha, or submissive, to Lasar. Every Alasharian, regardless of orientation, needs the balance of the power exchange to exist peacefully within their lifelong soul match bond. When Lasar is awarded a war prize, he sends Nary to look over the recent arrivals.

Chris and his cousin Morgan are captured and sent to the slave cages where they discover from the other imprisoned young men that they are destined to be sex toys for alien pairs. When one of those aliens saves Chris and his cousin from being abused by the slave master, Chris hopes that the seemingly kind alien won’t be too horrible an owner.

Lasar and Nary are finally alone together with their new sex slave, ready to enjoy their reward. However, in the middle of their playtime a shocking event occurs that not only disrupts Chris’ world even more than it already has been, but also challenges everything that Lasar and Nary have always held dear. As Lasar searches for answers, he begins to question the reasons behind the Earth invasion and where his loyalties should really lie. As their Ahna, he must be the one who decides whether they will all be safer together, or apart.

Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes involving sounding.

Excerpt from Slave for Two...

“Oh my God, what’s going on?”
Chris whipped his body around to see his mom hiking up from the creek with the girls trailing behind, their extra sweaters wrapped around them, protecting them from what appeared to be their still damp hair and likely, a very cold river bath.
“Uh, I think Mr. Avery and Paul are going to head out to a different spot.”
His mother furrowed her brow as her gaze flitted back and forth between all of them. “Jerry? Is that true?”
He pressed his lips together and nodded.
“But…”
His mom seemed so fragile in that moment. What if she felt safer with the older and larger man than with him? I really fucked this up.
“Why?” Her voice trembled. “Don’t go, Jerry. You’ll be much better off if you stay here with us. Chris knows his way around these trails, the mountain. You’ll get lost. Please. Think of Paul.”
“I am thinking of Paul!” His face had turned scarlet, his normally ruddy complexion taking on an even more pronounced hue. “No offense, Sharon, but your son is barely out of high school. Doesn’t have real-world experience and I don’t think he’s capable of making tough decisions. His kind don’t know how to stay calm when the situation calls for it, and I can’t take any chances that he’ll become hysterical if we’re faced with those things from space.”
I’ll show him calm.
His mother appeared to be working up to a sizeable rage. The coloring of her cheeks was in direct competition with Mr. Avery’s.
“I see.” Her tone seemed barely controlled. “Just so we’re clear. My son has been out of high school for over two years. He graduated early because he skipped ahead. He was also class president for two years in a row, and had a three point nine grade point average. If you add that to his extensive knowledge of this terrain, not to mention”—her gaze wandered up and down Mr. Avery’s frame before locking on his face again—“his physical fitness, I would put mine and the wellbeing of my daughters’ in his hands any day over you.”
“Whatever. He’s too small to be of any use in a fight.” Mr. Avery rolled his eyes as he continued stuffing the two bags he seemed intent on taking. “Neither one of them stand a chance at battling those things.” He’d waved his hand in the general direction of him and Morgan.
Chris had already decided to quit wasting his breath on Paul’s dad, so he turned to Paul instead. “Remember what I said. Don’t try to fight them. They’ll kill you if you do.”
Paul regarded him with the same pained expression as earlier. “I’m sorry about everything, Chris, I really am. But I won’t let them take me no matter what.”
“Oh, God.” His mother’s voice trembled and when he glanced over to her, she was holding a hand to her mouth.
“Good luck.” Mr. Avery hoisted the canvas shopping bag he’d brought from the Pine Cove market over his shoulder then marched away. Paul dipped his chin at Chris, grabbed the second bag, then followed his dad.
“Jerry! Don’t!”
His mother surged forward but Chris grabbed her arm, holding her back.
“Mom, stop. You can’t force them. Mr. Avery made it pretty clear that he thinks he’s right about everything.” Chris let out a sigh, wondering if he was the one making the mistake. “I don’t know. Maybe he is.”
His mother whirled around to face him. “Don’t you dare start doubting yourself now, Christopher. We never would’ve made it out of town if you hadn’t thought so fast, hadn’t led us all to safety.”
Chris grunted, shaking his head. “Safety. Yeah. For these past few days, sure, but then what? I can’t make any promises that I’ll do the right thing next time.”
“And we don’t expect promises, sweetheart.” His mom clutched his upper arms, her gaze searching his face. “I know there’re no guarantees. But I also know that our best chance for survival is with you up here, and even if you hadn’t come to the conclusion that we should stay in the mountains, that’s what I would’ve decided on my own.”
A portion of the awful burden that’d been weighing him down for days lifted at his mother’s words. It wasn’t until that moment that he realized how overwhelming holding the responsibility of everyone’s lives in his hands was.

The Hide & Seek Blog Tour

The O'Raven Chronicles is pleased to present this stop tour post for Author T. M. Smith's Hide & Seek Blog Tour




Dusty Anderson left his hometown in Justin, Texas for the Big Apple not long after graduating high school with dreams of becoming an actor. A year later, no closer to realizing his dream but pretty damn close to being broke, he comes across a flyer in a local gay bar that provides a solution to his dilemma. Six years later, Dusty has all but forgotten his dream to be an actor. The family he gained when he went to work at All Cocks and the job itself are enough for him, for now at least. 

David Thompson is barely twenty-one, high on life and starting his second year at NYU as an Art student. Now that he is old enough to enjoy the city’s night life, David finds his first crush at a local hot spot in the village, The Monster Bar. Young love is laid to rest though, when David comes out to his mother and older brother with disastrous results. 

A tragic incident at the hands of David’s brother changes the course of all of their lives and brings the two together, but is it coincidence or fate? Regardless of unlikely circumstance, Dusty is inexplicably drawn to David, who suddenly finds himself alone in the world. Protective of David from the start, Dusty realizes his extended family at All Cocks and his best friend Kory will not understand this new relationship. Fearing the worst, Dusty plays a dangerous game of hide and seek, risking everything to keep David safe and sheltered. 

But hiding can only last for so long, and David and Dusty aren’t the only ones dealing with uncertainties. The Dimir men find that the one thing they’ve longed for might be within reach and Dusty’s father, Dean, arrives in town unexpectedly with secrets of his own. Truths come out and trust is put to the test. Can the All Cocks family find the happiness they deserve? 

This is the 6th book in the All Cocks stories series, the series would read best if read in order, but each book can be read as a standalone story.

The reviews are in!

"This was a sweet story, aside from the bad things David must overcome, and I was not disappointed with any of it. The All Cocks family continues to grow, and I can’t wait to see what’s coming next."
- Just Jen from The Blogger Girls

"This series is fabulous. Each set of men have their own trials and tribulations and are connected like a large family. Each time a read a story in this book I say this is my favorite. They just get better and better. I have no idea how T.M. Smith will top this but I can't wait to see."
- Cathy Brockman Romance Author
