The Rebel Foxes Audio is Wide !

The audiobook cover of The Rebel Foxes by Noah Hawthorne, narrated by Paige Reisenfeld. The Rebel Foxes cover features a brown skinned woman with long curly blonde hair. She wears a leather jacket, tight pants, and a gas mask full of plants. She sprays magical green spray paint to the left and right across a stone corridor. She has a determined look on her face.

The Rebel Foxes has been an Audible exclusive due to using their royalty share program to produce it, but no longer! The narrator, Paige Reisenfeld, has brought Rebel Foxes into her catalog. She will be distributing through major channels as well, you can find it soon after processing is complete.

It’s always been my goal to make my books accessible and pull away from Amazon, so I am incredibly happy about this. It’s beneficial to both of us, and at a perfect time. Audible has found more ways to screw over their narrators and authors, of course. In short, we get a smaller cut from royalties, while they bring in more AI. There are people far more knowledgeable than me that have explained it, Paige included.

Iverbourne, Chapter One

/ Noah Hawthorne / Leave a comment
An illustration of two men on a pirate ship flying through the sky. One has fair skin and long blonde hair, he holds onto a net and the hand of a Black man with shorter dark hair. They stare into each other's eyes, fond and curious.

The eccentric, soul touching music had turned the area before him into religious ground. He wanted to kneel, and watch. To listen. How could anyone dance, or do anything but listen?

Chapter One of the Gay Pirates is up on the Patreon! I have been having so much fun back with my emotional support characters.

*glances at them covered in trauma and blood*

So much fun. But hey, the found family is kicking off, so there’s that.

Iverbourne, Reprised

Pain had never frightened Novak, a fleeting sensation that only proved the existence of life. So long as there was pain, there was life. He believed there was a saying which echoed this belief. As it was above, so it was below.

Yes, there are at least three other things I could, and should, be working on. However, the serotonin muses call for my Iverbourne loves, and so I have been deep within the reworked manuscript for a couple of days now.

But Noah, isn’t this being rereleased *next* year? Yes, and?

For those of you not familiar, my first book (and series) was a dark steampunk fantasy with queer fae, airship pirates, meddling gods, and a whole lot of found family. As it was my first series, it was incredibly unpolished and there is so much I wish I had done differently, or better. Looking back on it with years of experience under my belt, all I can do is shake my head and get to work.

And so, I’m doing just that. It will be condensed into two (possibly three) books, retitled, and reworked. Don’t worry, I’ll be back to VampStar soon, but for now I need my pirates.

This fella in particular is dear to my heart, his novella was the first gay book I wrote, and he goes through a world of love, hurt, and healing before finding peace.

Audiobooks of Mine

Did you know a couple of my books are available in audio?

Phantom and Rook is an urban fantasy set in a solarpunk world and follows two soulmates who have been separated by time and mystery.

The Rebel Foxes is a dystopian fantasy set in an underground world and follows a mutant shifter as she works to keep her pack and partners safe, and falls in love with the enemy as she plans to take it all down.

Keep an eye out for the third audiobook of mine coming out soon 👀
