Author Chris Smetana's New Audiobook 'Surya, My Sun Miranda, My Love' is a Riveting Romantic Drama Set in the Mysterious and Exotic Jungles of 19th-Century India

RADNOR, Pa., January 29, 2021 (Newswire.com) - Chris Smetana, an aerospace engineer who worked in a number of businesses at General Electric before changing careers and becoming a successful money manager who now provides pro bono instruction to individuals, small businesses, and non-profits while enjoying retirement with her husband and two rescue cats, has completed her new audiobook, "Surya, My Sun Miranda, My Love": a gripping and potent romance that takes the listener on a thrilling adventure from the heart of colonial India to the far-flung reaches of the British Empire.

Smetana's new audiobook is published by Audiobook Network, and it begins in the monsoon season of the year 1801 in Bhind, India. Margaret Harcourte senses the weather is worsening and decides to leave, taking her young infant son with her and travels back to England, to safety. Her husband, Michael Harcourte, Earl of Lynshire, is on an archaeological dig far away for the next several months and will find out when he returns of her decision. What comes next is utterly heart wrenching.

Over twenty years later, back in England, fair-haired and beautiful young heiress, Miranda Markham, is kidnapped and brought by ship to India, where she is forced to marry an Indian prince. What unravels following her escape to Australia and then return to England is one of the greatest historical romance stories of the eighteenth century.

Audiobooks are the fastest growing segment in the digital publishing industry. According to The Infinite Dial 2019, 50% of Americans age 12 and older have listened to an audiobook. This huge growth can be partly attributed to increased listening in cars, which surpassed the home as the #1 audiobook listening location in the 2019 survey.
