Happy Easter (and April Fools)! Only we aren’t fooling around (LOL).
How fitting that this blog entry would introduce the narrator of Red Roses on Easter Sunday.
Easter, a turning point in the book Red Roses; a moment when the Priest from Durham, and the Lady of Berwikshire, find themselves to be members of the House of York. They’ve been transported from their homes, to the Royal Court, as preparations for the decisive battle to end the Wars of Roses are underway.
So finally, the announcement that crashed the Steemit world today . . .
Meet Red Roses narrator Kira Omans!!!
An actress and a fashion model, so we propose four questions for Kira Omans, so that you can get to know her better:
Me - As an actress, what's your favorite role so far?
Kira - I usually work on action films, which are always my favorite! I love playing strong female leads that know how to fight. Last summer, though, I was the lead in a romantic comedy, which was a wonderful role with a stellar cast and crew. That has been my favorite role so far!
Me - What did winning Pacific Miss Asian American in 2015 mean to you?
Kira - Winning Pacific Miss Asian American was a game changer for me. This title gave me a public platform to launch advocacy for adoptees, and it taught me priceless life skills that have advanced my professional career. Becoming a spokesperson for the Asian American community also made me a role model for young girls, which has been the most gratifying aspect for me.
Me - As a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do you've proven yourself. What drives you to master Tae Kwon Do?
Kira - From a young age, I have been taught to challenge myself and achieve my goals. Tae Kwon Do is a journey of mental strength as much as a physical one. My drive to master this martial art is due to my love and respect for it as well as the mental and physical benefits a life as a martial artist has brought me.
Me - You're an advocate for adoptees. Why is this issue so important? And how can people help?
Kira - Adoptees are underrepresented in mainstream media, and we make up an important portion of the population. Often times, adoptees feel isolated and face issues in belonging and identity. As part of this community, it is important to me to support and learn from my fellow adoptees to be a more educated advocate and a more empathetic person.
To help adoptees and learn more about our experiences, people can check out the Adoptee Rights Campaign, Overcoming Odds, and Dear Adoption.
Kira’s reading of Red Roses can be described as “absolutely amazing”.
Only Red Roses remains in production as music and sound are being mixed in; buying us some time for Audio File magazine to write a review.
Here’s the letter for review to the magazine dedicated to the audiobook industry:
Dear Editor,
Please accept my submission of Red Roses the audiobook for review in AudioFile magazine.
Red Roses just got produced on ACX, and I’m really happy with Kira Omans reading. Hope that you enjoy this tale about the Wars of Roses, a very popular period in England’s past.
The story focuses on King Richard III. As a member of the Richard III Society we’ve been charged with creating content that gives a more positive portrayal of this former monarch. As you may have already heard, his remains were found in a parking lot 527 years after his death. Richard III, given all the pageantry of a King’s burial, only three years ago today, at Leicester Cathedral.
And while Kira Omans delivers Richard III’s speeches in Red Roses as a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, she’s also a beauty pageant winner, and her reading of the Lady of Berwickshire brings tears to the eyes, while the heart pounds in thy chest.
Thank you,
Cyrus Emerson

You’re a Whale to me, so help support the people that support you, and add your name to my curation tail: @cyemela
Never knew they did audiobooks in the Grammy's. Great mello beats as well, we liked them!
BTW, thanks for choosing our network for you resteems' too. Best of luck to you.
Thanks again. Might have to wait until next year to submit. Used to be a Grammy member through the company I work with. Now looks like I've got to renew as an independent artist. Means I've got to have something on sale for a year. That's another way Lost Angel is helping out. More on this in future posts.
She's also a taekwondo 3rd Dan.. respect! I'm just a karate 1st Dan. Cyrus It's the first time I land on your page.. shame on me! What you do is very interesting and I feel curious about you and your projects.. 👍
Mi casa su casa @f3nix. Yes 3rd degree. Pretty hardcore. To tell the truth I'd been auditioning mostly middle aged English women because of the accent and wanting a woman to be involved with all the male characters.
She sent her audition in, and at first I kind of dismissed it because she's American. Looking for music as well, my audiobook signature, and found Rike Luxx. Then it just clicked. Knew I had to get these two together in order to create magic!
I'm an Audio Engineer at my day job. Listen to parts of stories all day. Working on The Unknowns by Patrick K. O'Donnell right now. Read by Dan Woren. Bout all the people who died in WWI.
Looking forward to writing for you again @f3nix!
very cute!
Where can I buy this?
Not avaiable yet. It will be released on iTunes, Audible, Amazon, downpour, and about 26 other audiobook retail sites. Stay tuned, will promote the release when we get there.
