Hello again, dear audiobooks friends. Today’s spotlight article is dedicated to Tree Pose, the highly anticipated third installment in the award-winning Yoga Mat Mysteries series by Susan Rogers and John Roosen.
Tree Pose is the third audiobook following Dead Man’s Pose and Cobra Pose which are both available as e-books and audiobooks. Even better, I am happy to tell you that next in the Series are Warrior Pose – book 4, and Half Moon Pose – book 5, both of them being currently under production.
The Tree Pose audiobook has a runtime of a little over 10 hours and it’s performed by internationally recognized narrator Rupert Degas. In the last couple of years, this series quickly became one of my favorites and I can’t wait to embark on this new adventure that promises to be thrilling, entertaining, and filled with secrets.
Let’s take a look at the Publisher’s Summary and after that, I will introduce you once again to our extremely talented authors and the amazing narrator.
Escape to Tasmania they said … But what was supposed to be a dream for Ric Peters and Elaina Williams has turned into a nightmare.
The Devil’s Island is living up to its name, serving up the ghosts of its dark past, while Ric is haunted by his own demons. The truth is unravelling, and death is closing in from all sides. And now, it’s stalking Elaina.
Ric’s past is catching up to him, with a vengeful man seeking retribution for a catastrophic blunder in Indonesia. Ric has kept a secret hidden from Elaina, fearing that she will not … cannot, forgive him. That after all they’ve been through, he’s not the man she believes him to be.
In the shadows, a hitman lurks ¬… waiting for the time to strike, unafraid of collateral casualties.
As corrupt officials pull strings and innocents are sold, Ric and Elaina’s life together is threatened. Detective Inspector Jack McMasters races against time to piece together the clues before it’s too late.
A sociopath and an anguished man are closing in. As the lightning strikes, the uncertainties remain … revenge, redemption, or devastation?
Tree Pose is delivered hot with twists and turns, mixed with secrets and attractions, tossed with suspense and revenge, then blended with classic storytelling.
The third book in the Yoga Mat Mysteries series takes readers on a thrilling ride through the beautiful and mysterious island of Tasmania, Australia. The story follows Dead Man’s Pose, set in Sydney, and Cobra Pose, set in Brisbane.
BUY Tree Pose for a captivating mystery with murders, ghosts, and a past that won’t stay buried.
Now, let me introduce you all to our fascinating authors:
What do a woman, who used to train military personnel how to shoot straight, and a man, skilled at eradicating all sorts of hazardous materials safely, have in common? Both were designated law enforcement officers and they have now written three ‘knock ’em dead’ books and produced three audiobooks … together!
John Roosen started his career as a biologist, served as a commissioned naval officer, a designated law enforcement officer, and environmental emergency specialist in the United States, and has lived and worked in Australasia, Antarctica, the Americas, and the Middle East. At a moment’s notice, he would respond to chemical and refinery plant explosions, deal with rocket fuel plant meltdowns and dismantle illegal drug labs. With Susan, John delivered international security and safety training against terrorism to ports in the Pacific. As a change-up, John switched careers to chasing pirates and dueling with a con artist extraordinaire on a remote South Pacific Island. In between, he organized jungle expeditions and deep-sea scuba diving. However, John’s experience extends beyond responding to cataclysmic disasters and includes mastering the intricacies of making soufflé omelets without burning the edges.
Susan Rogers already knew she was a writer at age six, but her life took a major detour when she became a commissioned naval officer. As a designated law enforcement officer, she was boarding ships at sea and conducting structural and safety inspections. In addition, she developed civil defense programs for civilian populations. With John, Susan orchestrated sting operations. Susan also ran extensive weapons training programs and managed emergency responses for natural and man-made disasters. Susan worked in Australasia, the Pacific, the Americas, and the Middle East. While posted in Abu Dhabi, she ran health and safety operations for multi-billion-dollar projects along the Persian Gulf. In her spare time, she directed the restoration of a Presidential yacht. In between, she has written several books and revamped a South Pacific maritime service. Susan continues to write: whether braced against the hull of a sailing vessel on a hard tack, during a crossing of the Middle East’s empty quarter in a Mini or bouncing around in a troop carrier in Australia’s outback.
After writing Surviving Paradise about their life in the South Pacific, John and Susan hatched their Yoga Mat Mysteries series. Dead Man’s Pose is first in the line-up, with Cobra Pose as the second book. Tree Pose about the deep, dark secrets in Tasmania is now out. All are available in eBook and Audiobook formats!
Keep an eye out here on theAudiobookBlog because next week I will post an article on how these two extremely talented authors wrote this story specifically in a way to be perfectly suited for audiobook listeners.
Rupert Degas, a renowned voice actor, teams up with John and Susan to bring the various characters to life.
“Rupert does not simply narrate, he breathes life into our characters,” Susan describes. “With his multifaceted voice performance, Rupert is able to portray the various personalities of the many characters presented in our books.
John further adds that “Rupert has a myriad of accents and styles, which are all wrapped up in the rich texture of his voice. Despite the wide number of voices in conversations, he can maintain the continuity of the characters voices throughout the book.”
I will return with a full review for Tree Pose in late June or early July, but until then, take care, stay safe, and don’t forget, always listen with your heart!
