We’ve had a blast this month destroying Science Fiction and taking over Lightspeed Magazine’s June Issue. Here is a link to the story SALVAGE that I had the pleasure of narrating. This was such fun. I mean…how often does one get to play the captain of a space ship after all? Not often enough, if you ask me!
I also really love Carrie Vaughn’s writing and was super excited to be able to read her fabulous words once more. Enjoy!
This is a promo for a wonderful, deeply moving story that I had the pleasure of narrating called SALVAGE, written by the very talented Carrie Vaughn. My recording will be released sometime this month as part the WOMEN DESTROY SCIENCE FICTION! June issue at Lightspeed Magazine. We women have high-jacked the June issue and there are plenty of treasures to behold! Please visit the special June issue here. You won’t be disappointed and just remember…Resistance. Is. Futile.
Just released by Blackstone Audio & Skyboat Media – WASTELANDS: STORIES OF THE APOCALYPSE. This is a fabulous collection of 22 tales of the best post-apocalyptic literature from the last two decades! I had the pleasure of narrating two wonderfully chilling pieces – MUTE by Gene Wolfe and KILLER’s by Carol Emshwiller. The collection is edited by John Joseph Adams and 11 of us narrators were chosen to bring life to its pages. The stories are an exploration of what it means to remain human in the wake of Armageddon and are from many of today’s most renowned authors of speculative fiction—including George R. R. Martin, Gene Wolfe, Orson Scott Card, Carol Emshwiller, Jonathan Lethem, Octavia E. Butler, and Stephen King. The entire anthology is available at downpour.com. I hope you will check it out!
What an incredible joy it was to be a finalist with the cast of Ender’s Game Alive for the 2014 Audie Awards! We were nominated in 3 categories for Multi-voice; Original Work and Distinguished Achievement in Production. This has literally been a dream come true and nothing short of wonderful to have had the opportunity to play Valentine and to have worked on this very special audiobook. I have loved every moment. Heartfelt thanks to Orson Scott Card for writing such an awesome script; to our brilliant director, Gabrielle de Cuir; our amazing producer, Stefan Rudnicki of Skyboat Media; and to our wonderful publisher, Audible.com, for generously inviting our entire cast to attend the Audies as their guest. Toguro!!
I’m over the moon excited that I’m to be included as a narrator in this very special June issue of Lightspeed Magazine. Not only will I be I surrounded by such incredibly talented women, but I also will have the great pleasure of reading a story from one of my favorite authors. I promise to release more info as we get closer, but for now, let me just tell you this entire issue is going to rock! The awesome Assistant Editor of Lightspeed Magazine, Christie Yant, will be taking over the June issue along with the multi talented Audie Award winner, Gabrielle de Cuir of Skyboat Media, who will be producing the podcast. June’s guest host will be Mur Lafferty, former editor of SF audio magazine Escape Pod, and winner of the 2013 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. I am beyond thrilled to be working amongst such amazing company.
So…Women (and men!) of Science Fiction – this is going to be one incredible wild ride that you won’t want to miss. Here are a list of the stories that will be included in Lightspeed Magazine’s June 2014 Issue Women Destroy Science Fiction! http://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/special-issues/women-destroy-sf/table-of-contents/
Just out today – in the February issue of Lightspeed Magazine is a rich, darkly captivating short story that I had the pleasure of narrating called “So Sharp That Blood Must Flow” written by Sunny Moraine. This story is about a not-so-nice little mermaid….definitely no relation here to Ariel! Have a listen…
