It’s been a while since I’ve posted here, and I’ve missed connecting with all of you.  I’ve been focusing on the work – narrating, auditioning, and honing my craft — and it’s been a full and rewarding time.  But I do think it’s important to share the stories that touch our lives, so here I am!

January brought four new releases, and I’m excited to tell you about them.

🦉 Owl Diaries

I’m so delighted to be a part of the Owl Diaries series by Rebecca Elliott, published by Scholastic Audio.  “This adorable New York Times bestselling series is now available in audio format —perfect for young readers who love friendship stories with animal characters.”  The first two books released in January, with more to come throughout the year.  What a hoot it’s been bringing these sweet characters to life!  Available wherever you get your audiobooks.  🦉💕🦉💕

Racial Justice for the Long Haul

Racial Justice for the Long Haul by Christine Jeske, published by Christian Audio, is a thoughtful exploration of bridge-building and meaningful change through honest conversations across communities. I’m honored to have narrated this one — it’s full of grace, challenge and hope.  Now available wherever you get your audiobooks.

🎸 Mother’s Hip

This month on Lightspeed Magazine:  Mother’s Hip by Corey Jae White and Maddison Stoff — a haunting sci-fi story about a war pilot merged with a mothership, the drone children she’s conditioned to love, and what happens when that conditioning is violently stripped away.  Years later, she’s a veteran musician playing dive bars, trying to process her trauma through song.  Navigating these two different states of being – armored warrior and broken survivor — was a beautiful challenge. This one really moved me.  🌌 Link to listen to or read the story is here.

🌙 Jennifer’s Daughter

Dropping this week on Nightmare Magazine is Jennifer’s Daughter by Sara S. Messenger.  Fourteen year old Lane is homeschooled, isolated, and living with a mother who has dangerous secrets.  When Lane secretly befriends River, a lonely boy whose father has his own monstrous truths, their fragile connection becomes the only normal thing in their lives — until the night their parents discover each other.  The tender friendship between these two kids, both drowning in secrets but desperate to feel normal, broke my heart.  Raw and deeply affecting.  🖤 Link to listen to or read the story is here.

Coming in February:  Book 4 in Jody Hedlund’s beloved Matchmaker series — more on that soon!

Thanks for being here. It feels good to be back.  💜
