Back in Florida again⦠but not quite ready to say goodbye.
So grateful for this week, the brilliant coaches, and the loveliest people. Already counting down to next year. ππ
Aaand we are off on Audiobooks at Sea!! Iβve been looking forward to this week for so long. Super excited for the week ahead and spending time with the truly wonderful narrator family on board Celebrity Silhouette. #audiobooknarrator #audiobooksatsea #celebritycruises

Still buzzing from an amazing day at the London Book Fair.β¨Wonderful conversations, narrator friends, indie authors exploring audio, and seeing a book Iβd just narrated in print.
Very grateful for this community.
Todayβ¦ back into the booth. ποΈ

So excited to see everyone at London Book Fair today! Really looking forward to catching up with my narrator friends and meeting with some publishers!! #audiobooknarrator #londonbookfair2026 #lbf2026
Very grateful to have narrated Beastly Britain: An Animal History by Karen R. Jones. Such a fascinating stroll through Britainβs long, tangled relationship with its animals. Huge thanks to Karen and to @tantoraudio.bsky.social for casting me.
βAI will replace audiobook narrators.β
Thatβs what weβre told.
Narration isnβt text-to-sound. Itβs sustained emotional performance, character consistency, instinct, restraint, subtext. Craft built over years.
Still here & telling stories that connect.

Heya, I got this one:
Dell Pro Plus P2425D 24" IPS QHD 100Hz USB-C Monitor
But if you want to mount it on the Yellowtec VESA mount we needed a couple of shims and 4 longer screws because the Yellowtec mount doesnβt fit in the hole on the back of the monitor.
I was tired of my tiny little booth monitor and couldnβt figure out how to fit a bigger one in the booth. Until my lovely husband suggested squishing it in sideways! π€£π€£π₯³#audiobooknarrator #booksky #boothupgrade #indieauthor
Happy audiobook release day!!

Recording the 9th and final romantasy book set in the Convocation, and Iβm genuinely a bit sad.
Iβve loved living with these characters and world for so long.
Huge gratitude to Jeffe Kennedy for being such a brilliant author. π§β¨

Just wrapped Water Town, Book 4 in the Beaver Island Mysteries by Maia Ross for Tantor. Co-narrating cosy mysteries with Petrea Burchard has been a delight. Three days of directed sessions next week on a Yorkshire family saga. My last audiobook before Christmas!π

Loved narrating Susanne Dunlap's The Dressmakerβs Secret Earl! Two spirited women: one hiding as a seamstress, the other chasing forbidden political dreams & love. Strong characters, great story. Proud to narrate it! #Audiobook #newseries #HistoricalRomance www.amazon.com/dp/B0DWMGDP6L
