My heart is still so full from celebrating the 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 (The Oscars of Audiobooks) earlier this month in Los Angeles! 💗

Here’s a quick peek into the many dear friends and colleagues who made this evening so incredibly special.  What a joy it was to be gathered together again.  I think I must have had a permanent smile on my face the entire night. 🤩

Avalon Hollywood did a great job of hosting our event and big thanks to the Audio Publisher Association for putting together such an amazing and really fun night.  

Congratulations to the 2024 Audie Awards winners and nominees, and to everyone in our audiobook community!  💫

Calling on the Matchmaker – is now on Audio!

Ever played matchmaker or found yourself at the receiving end of a friend’s matchmaking efforts? 🌟

So happy to celebrate the audiobook and print release of Calling on the Matchmaker (A Shanahan Match, Book 1) written by the extraordinary Jody Hedlund – this is a match, you won’t want to miss!

Embarking on a journey to 1849 St. Louis, Missouri was an absolute blast! One of the many joys of narrating Hedlund’s historical fictions is the way her rich characters—with heart, soul, humor, and an irresistible will— keep me hooked. In Calling on the Matchmaker, the added fun was diving into the Irish community and wondering what the ever-charming, usually mischievous matchmaker Bellamy McKenna would be up to next!

Bringing this lively cast to audio was an honor and so much fun! 🎧📚

Thank you Tantor Media for sending this gem my way, and congratulations to Jody Hedlund on your new release! ✨

Calling on the Matchmaker is available now on Audible and at Amazon.com.

Audies 2023Words can’t quite describe how wonderful it was to be back in New York to celebrate the 2023 Audie Awards! ✨💫 It had been three years since our Audiobook community had gathered in person, and being able to spend a few precious days with dear friends and colleagues was so incredibly special.   

This night always rushes by just as quick as a New York minute, but the memories last far longer.  My heart remains so full. 

Congratulations to all the 2023 Audie Award Winners and Finalists – and to everyone in our Audiobook community who each day shares their stories, heart, talents and artistry to bring the written word to life.  It was a joy and honor to celebrate with you!  ✨💫

A New York Minute’s Glimpse into Audies 2018!

What an amazing time I had last week in New York as our audiobook community gathered for the APA Conference and celebrated the 23rd Annual Audie Awards at The New York Historical Society. It was such a special night catching up with dear friends and colleagues, and I so enjoyed the chance to make some new friends as well. I’m deeply grateful to be a part of this incredibly warm, generous, and loving community!

Congratulations to all of the 2018 Audie Award winners and nominees! What a joy it was to celebrate with you.

The Covenantal Life – Now Available on Audio!

Excited to share the audiobook release of The Covenantal Life by Sarah Ivill published by Christian Audio.  This was an incredibly fascinating book that I so enjoyed working on!

In The Covenantal Life, Sarah Ivill  encourages us to delve deeper into covenant theology so that we can begin to get a firmer understanding of scripture and thus start to think more biblically as we face the various circumstances in our lives.  By applying these principles, Ivill suggests that we will then begin to more readily experience how the beauty of theology and community can transform our lives.

Available now on Audible and at Amazon.com

Audiobook Meets App Meets Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha!

pasted image 0

So excited to share the launch of a really cool new platform! I love audiobooks in the way we have come to know them, but this cutting-edge approach combines the best of audiobooks and mobile apps.

Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha is the first of three literary classics to be launched this year on a new interactive platform—backed by an impressive array of entrepreneurs and an Emmy, Audie Finalist, BAFTA and Golden Reel award-winning cast. It was such a joy to be a part of this team and to narrate Siddhartha, alongside the talented Sean Pratt.

In the app, as you listen to the story, you can follow along with the text interactively in a platform that supports fonts optimized for dyslexic readers, while also enabling soothing background music, background imagery, sound effects, and even a guided meditation. Everything about the experience is designed to help even reluctant readers immerse themselves in books through audio and visual stimulation.

Go download the free app to see what I’m talking about and to experience Siddhartha in a whole new way!
