Please congratulate my incomparable narrator @darreneliker.bsky.social for winning a second Earphones Award from @audiofilemagazine.bsky.social for his performance of A SMALL HOTEL. I’m so fucking proud of this partnership, and beyond blessed to call him my bestie. 🫶🏻
Audiobook cover of A SMALL HOTEL, by Suanne Laqueur Darren Eliker masterfully portrays Kennet, the eldest son of the Fiskare family, at a pivotal age in his life. The summer of 1941 brings Ingrid to the Fiskares' hotel, and although she is promised to another, love blooms between her and Kennet. But soon, Ingrid is forced back to Brazil, and Kennet joins the war. Eliker captures young, forbidden love and heartbreak beautifully with breathless declarations, and his narration of wartime events is heartbreaking and so realistic that listeners will hold their breath. When the war ends, Kennet is determined to return to Ingrid despite obstacles. Can their love be rekindled? L.M.G.

@darreneliker.bsky.social and I were guests on @brayzenbookwyrm.bsky.social’s podcast “Off the Rails,” to discuss An Exaltation of Larks. I was thrilled to see Darren meet his ever-growing fan base and talk about his process. He’s such an incredible actor and artist.

The novel is possibly the best thing I ever wrote. The audiobook, if I may say so myself, is sensational. But don't take my word for it. @darreneliker.bsky.social won an AudioFiles Earphones award for his narration. And deservedly so.

They are all my babies and I know each one down to the punctuation mark. They are my soul made manifest. I didn’t think anyone would truly *get* them until I met a brilliant actor named @darreneliker.bsky.social who narrated the audiobook versions to another level. (He’s kind of my baby too.)

There are besties. And then there are professional-grade besties. @darreneliker.bsky.social and I fall into the latter category. Don’t try this at home, assholes.

From the Thousand Islands to the battlefields of Europe, the acts of love and war shape an American family's legacy. An uplifting novel of once-in-a-generation courage and resiliency.

Teaser for the historical fiction novel A Small Hotel by Suanne Laqueur. A WW2 soldier in the snow. Quote text: The Kennet you knew is no more. The man I am now has no damns to give for gentlemanly behavior or social niceties. And if he lives through war, he might just show up at your front door. He might tell your husband, “We can do this the easy way, or do it the hard way. But we’re doing this.”

A Charm of Finches is the most important book I ever wrote. Steffen Finch is a psychologist who uses art therapy to counsel male victims of sexual assault. The audiobook is brilliantly narrated by @darreneliker.bsky.social. Please look and listen. And maybe learn. 🫶
