THE LATEST...
2019 was, hands down, the busiest year of my audiobook narrating career! Lots of wonderful books
from Blackstone Audio, including most of Kathryn Davis' and Jean Stafford's work, as well as some
terrific fiction for Recorded Books, and a few really important non-fiction titles for Hachette Audio.
One of the Kathryn Davis pieces (The Walking Tour) was included in Slate's Best Audiobooks of
2019, and several other titles were awarded AudioFile Magazine's Earphones, including...
Books), and Who Is Vera Kelly (Blackstone). I also had the good fortune to bring the intense five book
Jane Hawk series by Dean Koontz to a thrilling close with The Night Window.
Somehow, I was able to squeeze in some theatre - a quick and dirty touring chamber production of
Troilus and Cressida with Hip to Hip - in February.
Needless to say, things took a downturn after that. I was able to put together a vocal booth so I could
continue to work remotely, thanks in large part to my amazing family. So, I am still putting out audio-
books, but not at the volume, or rate, of last year.
Counting my blessings that I am able to work at all.
UP NEXT...
Avoiding Covid, and continuing to work as much as I can until we can start making theater again...
