Audiobook Release Celebration: Catching Lizzy and A Worthy Woman!

I’m ushering in Valentine’s day with two new audiobook releases!

First off! Catching Lizzy, narrated by Scarlett Mae Clarke, came out last week. Scarlett is a newer narrator, but I love her performance as Lizzy–especially drunk Lizzy! She went for it and it came out so well. She told me at one time that her inspiration for Richard was Rupert Everrett in My Best Friend’s Wedding, so I’d love to hear what you think of him as well!

Here’s a sample for you to check it out!

And for a second release! Deborah Balm is back to narrate A Worthy Woman! As always, Deborah has outdone herself, even managing to give Fiona a bit of an Irish brogue which I love since it’s just enough to set Fiona apart. I think she’s captured Nicholas and Fiona’s love story with a nuanced performance all of you will enjoy.

And of course, here is the sample!

Now! Of course you know I have a giveaway! I have 3 audiobook codes for each title that I will draw for. Just leave me a comment to let me know which book you’d like to be entered for (You can enter both if you like) and what market (US or UK). Good luck!

L.L Diamond

L.L. Diamond is more commonly known as Leslie to her friends and Mom to her three kids. A native of Louisiana, she spent the majority of her life living within an hour of New Orleans before following her husband all over as a military wife.

After watching Sense and Sensibility with her mother, Leslie became a fan of Jane Austen, reading her collected works over the next few years. Pride and Prejudice stood out as a favourite and has dominated her writing since finding Jane Austen Fan Fiction.

Aside from mother and writer, Leslie considers herself a perpetual student. She has degrees in biology and studio art, but will devour any subject of interest simply for the knowledge. As an artist, her concentration is in graphic design, but watercolour is her medium of choice with one of her watercolours featured on the cover of her second book, A Matter of Chance. She coaches swimming and holds a variety of fitness certifications. She is also a member of the Jane Austen Society of North America. Leslie also plays flute and piano, but much like Elizabeth Bennet, she is always in need of practice!

    Yay! Congrats on your new audiobook releases! I’d like to be entered in the drawing for both codes (US) please!

    P.S. I was a winner of your last give away and won a signed copy of An Endeavor to be Worthy. I emailed back, but never received a response and haven’t received my copy in the mail. Just wanted to check that you did get my response. 😊

    1. Hi Brittney,
      I did get your response. I waited until I had all of the addresses, but now I have them, the book is prepped to ship but I just haven’t made it to the post office. Sorry about that. I will get them out this week. Leslie 🙂

    I can perfectly picture the dress that Lizzy is wearing. Even in 4 minutes, I knew that this was Mrs. Bennet’s dream wedding. I was hoping to hear Richard’s audio and the take on Rupert Everrett. I think it would be hysterical and. quite sarcastic. Lizzy and he would make a great team again Darcy. Please enter me into this audiobook (US code) giveaway. I have read the book and would love to have the audiobook for my walks. Keep writing contemporary P&P variations. Thanks for the audio sample and giveaway.

    1. Thanks, Eva! I love writing contemporary P&P variations. It’s a great reset when I’ve been writing a lot of Regency and helps free up my brain a bit. If I don’t write something different from time to time, my muse starts to rebel. 🙂

        I understand. I have so enjoyed all of your books. Unwrapping Mr. Darcy is truly one of my favorite books. Keep writing!

    Congrats on the new releases. Haven’t read A Worthy Woman as yet. It’s on my KU list to download!

    1. Thanks, Jane!

  10. Congrats on the audiobook releases, Leslie! No need to enter me into the drawing, but great samples (and whoa, starting with a pistol pointed at someone’s chest — you know how to snag us!)

    1. LOL! It’s actually a few chapters in, but it was a fun point in the book 🙂 Thanks, Christina!

    Hi Leslie,
    I’m almost finished with a Gentleman of Worth and it’s fantastic like all of your novels. Next up will be Catching Lizzy. I loved the excerpts and look forward to reading your latest. I’ve been really loving audiobooks too. –Leslie

    1. Yay! Thanks, so much Leslie!
