Two Pawns. Two Eternal Adversaries. Who will win? – The Game of Love and Death – now available on Audio!

Posted on by

The Game of Love and DeathI am so excited to celebrate the audiobook release of The Game of Love and Death written by the magnificently talented Martha Brockenbrough and published by Scholastic Audio.

The Game of Love and Death captured my heart from the first moment my eyes found its pages and I continued to think about the characters and riveting storyline long after I finished narrating this deeply moving book.

The story begins in 1920 where we are given a glimpse into the lives of two sleeping babes who are both about to become pawns in a deadly Game of Love and Death. Two eternal adversaries, Love and Death, choose their players wisely and the game is set. We are then propelled 17 years ahead to 1937 where these two infants have grown up to become Henry and Flora.  A young man who lives to play the bass and a young woman who desperately wants to become the next Bessie Coleman. Both share a passionate love for music and amidst the jazz clubs and flight strip, romance blooms.

Destined to fall in love with each other despite the racial obstacles they face and despite their own efforts to stay away from each other, Henry and Flora soon discover that they are the pawns in a high stakes game of Love and Death.  What is more powerful – Love or Death? And who will win…

Meet The Man Without A Shadow

–ELIHU HOOPES

We first meet Elihu Hoopes on October 1965, six months after his brain has been ravaged by encephalitis fever.  Elihu Hoopes is The Man Without A Shadow – a deeply fascinating new novel by Joyce Carol Oates that I had the great pleasure of narrating for HarperAudio. Within its poignant pages – the science of the mind, love, loneliness, passion and regret are all beautifully examined.

Elihu, at the age of 37, incurs damage to the hippocampus area of his brain, which prevents him from being able to form short term memories. Over the next 30 years,  Elihu (E.H.) becomes the most famous amnesiac in history while the neuroscientist that is studying him, Margot Sharpe, becomes equally famous for her experiments on E.H.’s mind.  While Margot soars professionally, personally she slowly slips into madness allowing herself to fall into an unethical love affair with E.H.  An affair that Elihu Hoopes doesn’t have the ability to remember and one that leaves Margot Sharpe, even lonelier than before.

The Man Without A Shadow is now available on Amazon and Audible.com.

 

Hello 2016 and a toast to 2015

Posted on by

ball-dropWishing everyone a wonderful 2016 – may it be your best year ever!

As I look back on 2015, I am so grateful for the many memories, opportunities and experiences that this year brought.

As an audiobook narrator, the year started with much excitement at being nominated for an Audie Award for Stars: Original Stories Based on the Songs of Janis Ian. I was then extremely honored to be asked to be a presenter at The 20th Annual Audie Awards in New York City. What a magical night that was! Throughout the year, I have had the tremendous pleasure of working with many new publishers and authors, on a wide variety of fascinating titles.

As an actor, I began the year by getting cast in a hard-hitting short film. I performed on stage in several staged play readings at various theatres, finishing off the year by playing Phaedra in Phaedra, a production that ran for 3 weeks in Los Angeles.  96 Souls, a feature film that I was cast in last year, had its first cast and crew screening at the Landmark Theatres in Los Angeles and as the year drew to a close, I signed with an awesome new commercial and theatrical agent.

Farewell, 2015! It’s been an amazing year and one that I’m extremely thankful for.
