'''''Gray Stakes: The Case of the Implausible Impaler''''' is a forthcoming murder mystery novella by [[R.L. Akers]] and the eighth book in [[The Files of Gray Gaynes (series)|the Files of Gray Gaynes]] series.

This story picks up two weeks after the events of ''[[Gray Dawn]]'', as [[Gray Gaynes]] returns to [[U-Turn]] (a fictional oil field work camp in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Slope_Borough,_Alaska North Slope Borough, Alaska]) to begin his next two-week "hitch"... only to discover that one of the company's security personnel has been murdered in a rather strange way.

== Artwork ==

As with each Gray Gaynes installment, the chapter numbering within ''Gray Stakes'' is unique. In this case, numbers are displayed using [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_numerals Cyrillic numerals], a numeral system derived from and used in conjunction with 10th-century Cyrillic.

<div style="color:#a35a00;">
'''Jennifer Senter''' (born 1982) is the narrator of the forthcoming audiobook edition of ''[[The Princess and Her Throne|Overtwixt: The Princess and Her Throne]]''. Following formative experiences in high school and college [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatre theater] productions, Senter discovered a love for character voice acting when she began reading to her own daughter. She especially enjoys embodying large casts of characters from such series as ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter Harry Potter]'', [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeleine_L%27Engle Madeleine L'Engle]'s ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Quintet Time Quintet]'', ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Narnia The Chronicles of Narnia]'', and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings ''The Lord of the Rings''].

''The Princess and Her Throne'' is Senter's first professional audiobook narration. According to author [[R.L. Akers]]:
<blockquote class="rust">
''I love the way [Senter] relays emotion in the voices of her characters, the subtle laughter or the wavering fear—detectable, but never overdone. And the way she enunciates so clearly without coming across as stilted makes for a clear, easy listening experience.''
</blockquote>

== Official Bio ==
<blockquote class="rust">
Jennifer Senter is a high school science teacher by day and an audiobook narrator (and hopeful voice actor) in her spare time. She tolerates heat much better than cold, which is good because she lives in Alabama. Her favorite people are her husband and her teenage daughter.

She loves traveling to new places, whether it's in real life with her family or through the pages of a good book. When she's not explaining acid-base reactions or chauffeuring her daughter to an extracurricular activity, she also enjoys hiking, organizing (really!), and a good iced latte.
