The Audies and Two New Books!

Posted on by

StarsIt’s been a super busy but exciting month! The 2015 Audie Awards are tonight and I’m thrilled to be nominated for STARS: Original Stories Based On The Songs Of Janis Ian. In addition to being nominated, I am also deeply honored to be presenting at the awards this evening.

On the recording front, I just finished recording a new release called Both Sides Now by Barbara Ferrer.  It’s an incredibly moving book about grief, love and loss.  The print and audiobook version will be released on June 23, 2015.

In addition, I have recorded my second book for author Ryan Skinner, which will also be coming out in June 2015. This is a non-fiction book called Skinwalker Ranch: Tales of the Skinwalker. It is a collection of true to life paranormal experiences that occurred near and around areas of Utah, Phoenix and Nevada.

Lastly, congratulations to all the nominees this year! It’s going to be an exciting night!

The Lonely Heart … Just In Time For Valentine’s Day!

Posted on by

B7PPZ1lCIAE2B4tAlthough not your typical Valentine’s Day love story… The Lonely Heart  is a story sure to capture your heart.  I had so much fun recording this hauntingly disturbing tale, mainly because the writing of Aliette de Bodard is so good!! The story is now available at Lightspeed Magazine and it is a retelling of the “The Painted Skin” from Pu Songling’s Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.

The Lonely Heart is graphic, explicit, dark and all the while completely compelling. Part of the fun for me as a narrator is learning about the places & traditions of the characters that I get to portray. To get into the right mind-space for this particular story, I spent a lot of time researching the area of China where the story took place, most specifically the “Ghost City” of old Fengdu. It’s incredibly fascinating! In case you’re interested, here is an article on some of the historic facts & myths of this old city located on the bank of the Yangtze River. Enjoy! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fengdu_Ghost_City

“Two-Ton Tony had a hard body…” JUPITER WRESTLERAMA – A wonderfully rich, captivating story that I had the pleasure of narrating is now available at Lightspeed Magazine.  This gripping story is about murder, betrayal, love, and intrigue and it all takes place on a cramped space station!

I have become an immediate fan of the writer, Marie Vibbert. Her stunning use of language and imagery in Jupiter Wrestlerama made this particular story incredibly exciting for me to narrate.

You can listen to the podcast of Jupiter Wrestlerama for free here:  Jupiter Wrestlerama.  Be sure to stay and check out the many other incredible stories that the 2014 Hugo Award Winning Lightspeed Magazine has available online. You won’t be disappointed!
