I'm thrilled to announce that the audiobook for Consort: The House of Silence Volume 3 is complete and currently awaiting quality review by ACX! It should be available for sale within the next 10 days. I can't wait for you to experience it!

Narrated by the amazing Dan Calley, this audiobook brings everything about the House of Silence to life. From sensual and intimate scenes to high action to introspective character moments, Dan's phenomenal voice work captures the essence of this world, making it an unforgettable experience.

The House of Silence is the story of an elite male bordello, a tale of sensuality, mystery, intrigue, and romance that centers around the male prostitutes and the clients whose lives are impacted there. The series follows the intertwining stories of several different characters, both staff and visitors to the establishment.

In Consort: Volume 3, a lover from Master Charon's youth arrives with an urgent message from the queen, prompting jealousy from Reiji and putting the whole house on edge. When Tam goes missing, Charon and the boys are caught up in a web of intrigue, peril, and sensuality that may end up costing them their lives.

Stay tuned for the official release date and get ready to immerse yourself in this captivating world!

Audiobook Teaser

Sharing a teaser clip from the new audiobook for The Magician's Apprentice, and showing off some of Dan's incredible voice acting:



The audiobook is currently undergoing QA on ACX's website and should be available very very soon!!!

The Magician's Apprentice
A Prequel to the Dragon Mage Chronicles
by J.A. Jaken

Narrated by: Dan Calley
10 hours 46 minutes (108,000 words)
Genre(s): Fantasy, Adventure, M/M Romance

Jander Teregnan has never wanted anything more than to become a mage--to serve his king and defend his country as he explores his natural talent at commanding the strange power known as magic. Of course every apprentice needs a master, which comes with its own set of challenges...especially when the master he's chosen for himself is none other than Andrei Teresh, personal advisor to the king and master mage of the city of Vallerin.

Andrei, however, has more pressing problems on his mind than dealing with the unsolicited advances of one untrained mage-apprentice. A fierce and merciless army of unknown intent is sweeping across the land, threatening the kingdom he has sworn to protect. Even worse, dragons--long thought to have withdrawn from the world of mankind--are emerging once again and spreading chaos in their wake. Somehow, Jander must find a way to help; not only to prove that he can be of use in the defense of his kingdom and become a mage, but also to secure his place at the side of the man he hopes to claim as master both of his magic and his heart.

The Magician's Apprentice

The Magician's Apprentice is on its way to becoming an audiobook at last!!! Dan Calley has once again knocked it out of the park with his incredible voice acting and narrative flair. All of the chapters have been recorded and now it's just a matter of tying up the loose ends before we go live with the finished product.

Some of you might remember this story in its original incarnation, back in the day. It's been updated and fleshed out a bit for the original release version, and is currently available in both ebook and paperback. I'm super excited about the audiobook release now as well!!!

My First Instagram Profile

I've recently created my very first Instagram profile:

https://www.instagram.com/jajakenfiction/

I'm still learning how it all works, but I've managed to get a few things posted there. I'm planning to use it mainly to share information about my writing.

It's a little lonely right now, so if you want to give me a follow I'll follow you right back, and then I can start growing a network over there. I'd love to see what sorts of things all of you are sharing on that platform.

See you there! :)

New Website Announcement

Hello, everyone! It's been a while since I was online. Things in RL have gotten a little overwhelming over this past year, and it's pulled me away from pursuing any kind of creative interests. It's been work related mainly, with a lot of new responsibilities and stresses that I had to learn how to deal with. On top of that I've been dealing with some lingering physical health issues, and some mental health issues, and just trying to make it from day to day.

By now I'm feeling like I've managed to get through the worst of it, and I'm feeling really positive and excited about getting back into my writing again and reconnecting with people.

During my time away, I managed to lose my previous website domain. So now I have an entirely new website URL:

www.jajakenfiction.net

I've finished moving everything over there, and now I'm going to start updating the links in all of my books. What a project that's going to be! But it has to get done, and I know I'll feel a lot better once I have everything in place with the new website links in place.

I hope you're all doing well and enjoying your summer. Sending all of you lots of hugs!

I am so very excited to share this with all of you! Dan Calley’s fantastic performance brings each of the characters to breathtaking life as Nicki struggles to survive in a world of sensuality and terror, where the lines blur between slave and free, good and bad, desired and feared:



Audiobook read by Dan Calley
10 hours 42 minutes (110,000 words)
Genre(s): M/M, Dark Fantasy, Slavefic
(𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑎𝑑𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑜𝑟𝑦: 𝑛𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑠𝑒𝑥)

Nicholi’s world goes up in flames when soldiers invade his country, leaving chaos in their wake. Captured and enslaved in a foreign land, Nicholi struggles to cope with the nightmare of slavery and adapt to the terrifying and inexplicable world he is thrust into. He draws courage from a steadfast determination to get justice for his murdered family and—he hopes—peace to himself by finding and killing the man responsible for the destruction of his village. Yet through it all, Nicholi’s greatest enemy might not be foreign powers or enemy soldiers, or even in the self-serving machinations of his fellow slaves, but himself.

New video to share!

Recording for the audiobook for Nicholi's Vengeance is officially completed!!! Dan Calley has done such an amazing job with it. His narration is engrossing, captivating, thrilling, with so much emotion and heart. I keep going back to listen to snippets of it here and there because it's just so very good. 😍💖🥰

This is the promo book trailer I've made for the novel, which includes clips from Dan's fantastic audiobook performance along with some quotes from reviews the book has received. Give it a listen if you have a couple of minutes to spare and let me know what you think! I'm still learning how to create videos like this, but I think I'm getting better at it as I practice doing more of them.



There are just a few final admin things to wrap up in the audiobook, and then it'll be on to the QA gods at ACX for publication. It will be available for listening very soon!!!
