The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of. . . THE KALEIDOSCOPE . . . I found a very pleasant surprise within the listen of this Romantic Thriller.

I loved Pepper because most of all she did not let life's hand dealt to her get her down or out of the race. I loved her spunk. Together with Harold I loved their journey of bumps, twist, and a chance.

It took me a few moments to sink in to narrator Joseph's voice but once I got going I was good.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Beverly Nault. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

When Harold becomes the guardian of a beautiful, handcrafted kaleidoscope with mysterious powers, his world spins from black-and-white boring into technicolor chaos. Along with Pepper, their journey becomes a life-threatening race to save the 'scope from falling into the wrong hands.

Harold's a reclusive computer forensics expert forced to become an amateur detective when a mysterious kaleidoscope shows viewers more than pretty shapes and colors. He's soon joined by Pepper, a spunky breast cancer survivor who challenges him to color outside the lines and look at life - and himself - differently, and Morrie, his only real friend who has his own secrets. Together they must solve the riddle of what makes the 'scope work before the bad guys get their clutches on the valuable future-telling device.

Brilliant but socially inept, Harold has distanced himself from any connection to his dysfunctional childhood. Abandoned by a father accused of his mother's death, Harold trusts no one until the 'scope forces him to accept a circle of people he must learn to rely on. Just as he is on the verge of learning how it works and why his past connects to his future, he must face disturbing truths he's run from all his life. Join Harold and his new group of friends, including Rhashan the mail room guy always ready with Caribbean-spun folklore, to Pepper who's embracing life for all it's worth. Keith and his partner Frank are also crucial to the solving but have some unfinished business of their own. When Harold's past meets his future, everyone in the gang works side by side to discover who's behind the incredibly exciting, but scary, advances in technology only dreamed of until now.

Since 2019 I've been happily creating audiobooks in the small studio that I built in our home. My wife and I own and operate a lovely bed & breakfast in upstate New York and the business affords me time to record every day (when I'm not preparing pancakes or Eggs Benedict). In my younger days, I was a stage actor (I studied with Uta Hagen in Manhattan in the 90's) and I really enjoy having the opportunity to work as a voice actor. I have recorded a number of novels as well as non-fiction books and I'm comfortable with a variety of regional American accents as well as British dialects. In addition, I've recorded vignettes for a sci-fi/fantasy series which releases monthly audio posts. I serve as my own production engineer and I've invested in high quality recording equipment to help bring your prose to life!
