Riverview Author Releases Audiobook Version Of Latest Release

Local author, homeschool mom and creative writing teacher Kat Heckenbach has released an audiobook version of her award-winning young adult fantasy novel, Finding Angel. 

After finding the perfect voice match for her main character, Heckenbach worked for several months with narrator Jeanne O. Whitehouse (Vacaville, Calif.) to produce an audiobook version of Finding Angel.

Book Description

Start with a struggle revolving around the source of magic. Is it genetic--or is it part of your soul? What if someone was using his powers to run experiments based on a complete misconception of the source of magic?

Throw in a twisted family tree that's rooted in a centuries' old feud, a painting that (literally) holds the key to the truth, a mysterious and talkative beetle, and an Elven rocker who can play the songs of the stars on an electric guitar.

This is the world Angel Mason was born into, thrust out of, and returned to seven years later. To top it off, she must rediscover her identity and save her home from a madman at the same time.

Heckenbach's debut YA fantasy has earned three awards: Compton Crook (finalist), Grace Awards (YA category finalist) and INDIE Next Generation Book Awards (YA category finalist). Readers have compared her writing to that of Cornelia Funke and Madeline L'Engle.

It is ideal for young teens, older teens and anyone who loves adventure, mystery, fantasy and magic.
