Family is My Vibe: 2026 2nd Quarter Releases
Second quarter 2026 was very family focused - in books and life! My oldest son graduated from high school in May, and we've started post-high school education planning for the younger son as well. Every story released this quarter focused in one way or another on family - new babies, raising children, daily family life, special occasions, and family history. There's something special that happens when I get to narrate books that I really connect with.
Summer Celebrations
My oldest son graduated from high school in May. To celebrate his success, our family took a trip to England so he could visit WarHammer World in Nottingham. To use some WarHammer slang, we each had some "side quests". My "meta strategy" involved scouting out bookstores and libraries! England is an impressive book world, filled with legendary destinations, including Leeds Castle, Bromley House, Jane Austen’s hometown of Bath, and The Reading Room, which is the grand circular library hidden at the center of The British Museum. With each literary location "conquest," I "buffed" my book appreciation and acquisition abilities.

Faithful Fruit and Branching Out: Expanding My Offerings in 2026
2026 is off to a rousing start! I’m always pleased to narrate a book in one of my favorite genres, including Christian romance and cozy mystery, especially when I’m invited back to continue a fan-favorite series. But it’s exciting to branch out into topics I don’t always have an opportunity to take on. This quarter, I learned so much while narrating “Executive Functioning and Psychotherapy” about the neuroscience of Adaptive Intelligence. (Heady stuff!) I also broadened my religious history understanding with “Mother Ann Lee,” one of the sources used to tell Lee’s story in the recent Oscar-winning movie, “The Testament of Ann Lee.” There's something for everyone this quarter!
Drake University Alumni Spotlight
I was honored to be interviewed for the Alumni Spotlight at Drake University College of Pharmacy! My pharmacy degree pairs surprisingly well with my work in audiobooks, allowing me to incorporate a medical background, communication skills, business experience, and my love of stories. I think it goes to show that there are many ways to use higher education, and I’m grateful for my time at Drake, even through I’m using my degree in an untraditional way.
That's a Wrap! - 4th Quarter 2025 Releases
I have a perspective that is less common among professional narrators: I appreciate both royalty share (RS) and per finished hour (PFH) projects, as well as the variety of fiction and nonfiction! My view is that narrating or performing an audiobook is a partnership with the author to bring their work to a new audience. I was delighted to work with two new authors this quarter, bringing life to "Kate's Crucible," by Elmer Fuller and "A Daughter's Choice," by Kelly Irvin.
JustRead Rendezvous Readers and Writers Retreat
This one-day event was filled with great conversation about Christian fiction. From Author Panels, to games, to Round Table discussions and book signings, there was something for the introvert (me) and extrovert alike! I saw friends from the previous year and met new-to-me authors to check out! Plans for next year's event are underway. We'd love to see you there!
Such a Pleasure to Narrate Series -
3rd Quarter 2025 Releases
Quarter three brought the thrilling conclusion of the Lake City Heroes series with “Final Approach,” and the beginning of the Love at a Lighthouse series with “Libby’s Lighthouse.” Other series are going strong, with new additions to both the Uncharted and Crystal O’Mally Mystery series. And what a joy to have some stand-alone content as well. “Finding Faith in the Storm” is an award-nominated memoir, and “Words Like Honey” is a beautiful, gentle guide for parents about modeling kindness to your children in the words you use.
Second Annual Thriving Narrators Retreat
What a great place to stretch and grow! For the second year in a row, Jennifer Jill Araya offered a valuable space to receive coaching from audiobook producers, casting agents, and seasoned narrators, as well as educational topic discussions and panels. Plus, engaging social connections and networking, with the added benefit of group dinners this year! I can't wait for next year's event.
Halfway Through! 2nd Quarter 2025 Releases
This quarter is an excellent representation of the work I love to do! Some informative non-fiction, a Christian-living prayer guide for moms, a middle-grade Nancy Drew-style mystery, a tender romance, and a first for me: true crime! I'm grateful for the casting teams who provide me with these engaging projects. Keep an eye out for some great things yet to come this year.
APAC 2025: New York City and the Who's Who of the Audiobook Industry
The Audiobook Publishers Association Conference is the place to be to learn all that's happening in the Audiobook industry. It was so exciting to hang out with fellow narrators and hear from top publishers and talent about current trends and ways to further hone my skills, from performance to marketing. Congratulations to all of the 2025 Audie Award winners! I hope to be on that podium someday.
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.
