First Quarter Releases: A Strong Start to 2025
Two of my favorite parts about work as an audiobook narrator are the variety of projects and learning new things! To start 2025, I produced my first public domain project to a wide market, hiring Jeff Moon to co-narrate The Story of The Beauty and The Beast, distributed by Spoken Realms. It was liberating and challenging to be totally in charge of cover design, cast, book description, and production timeline. Another new experience in the first quarter was being remotely directed on the multicast audiobook production of Snow White and Seven Twisted Tales. And I'm appreciating the balance of fiction and non-fiction work I've been receiving, allowing me to stretch and play, as well as learn and share.
Finishing Up 2024 With Over 24 New Releases!
2024 has been my most productive year yet! I’m proud to announce the final four releases to round out the 4th quarter. It’s so fulfilling as a narrator to have the opportunity to produce such a variety of work.

Winding Up in The Windy City: November 2024
In November I attended The Art of Writing Conference, Christy Awards gala, and Just Read Rendezvous in Chicago. There I learned about book marketing, participated in a live radio show, met and celebrated wonderful authors, and joined other readers of Christian fiction. Author Crystal Caudill won the Christy Award for Short Form Fiction for her story "Star of Wonder" within the collection "We Three Kings," which I narrated. I met Crystal's co-authors Angela Ruth Strong and Cara Putman as well as Shelley Shephard Gray, author of Amish fiction who I've also narrated for.
