Considering A Career In Audiobook Narration?


The amazing team at ACX (Audiobook Creation Exchange) gave me the opportunity to share my experiences about being an audiobook narrator. 

It is a truly brilliant concept, and I am delighted to be a part of it.

No Rest For The Wicked...

Before the release of the wonderful The End of the World, has even hit the shelves on Audible, (they tell me it will be there in two weeks), here I am again, working with award-winning author Andrew Biss.
This time, it is to read his latest triplet of short-stories, entitled "Broken World". 
The three stories are written in the authors signature style which is a mix of dark comedy and the macarbre, and always with a twist in there somewhere. 
I expect to have them ready for release by the end of October. In the meantime, you can have a look at them on Amazon

Sticking with the realms of the comedic and the bizarre, I am also very pleased to have been asked to record a rather quirky and very entertaining novel called "Spiggot". Written by the very talented Craig Saunders, it follows the world of a cranky but nevertheless very effective detective who, while working a case, gets accidentally transported into the body of a serial axe-murderer. 
I have said enough! Expect Spiggot to be available for your listening pleasure in the final quarter of 2012.

And then last night, my inbox chirped and the lovely Penny Estelle invited me to read her fantastic children's adventure called "Hike Up Devil's Mountain". Think: the Famous Five meets Hammer House of Horror!
A very entertaining read for youngsters. Will be fun to do, I'm sure. 
And I need to squeeze a vacation in as well!

My narrator profile is now available on the AudioFile Magazine website.

A very big thank you to Robin Whitten (Founder of AudioFile) and Megan Hiller for their assistance in getting me listed. 


The final post-production work is being done on The End of the World by Andrew Biss. 
There is also a chance that I will be doing a similar type of quirky book over the coming months, and I hope to be able to post more details about that in the coming week. 
It's all getting very exciting now!

Almost done...

Andrew Biss
Having had an almost seamless read of Andrew Biss' The End of the World, (a credit to his wonderful writing maybe?) it looks like this will be finished much earlier than I had anticipated. 
Therefore, I think that you will be able to get your hands, or ears on it from Audible.com and iTunes within the next couple of weeks. 


I know that I have said it before, but this has been an absolute joy to read, and I do hope that you will get as much pleasure out of listening to it, as I have had in recording it. 
If you have ever wondered what happens after you die, The End of the World may have the answers you seek! 


Coming soon!

Free Story: The Curiosities of Lady Blackrose

A few weeks ago, I was given the opportunity to narrate a short piece by up and coming horror writer S.S. Prazak. 


Prazak is one of those authors who is keeping alive the traditional horror elements, that I would normally attribute to the likes of Edgar Allan Poe, and with a twist not unlike the old UK television series "Tales of the Unexpected". 


Bottom line is that he is definitely one to watch. You can find some of his work on the awesome MicroHorror website, and he has kindly allowed me to attach a full copy of his work for your listening pleasure.

Two Tocks Before Midnight Review

A manic studio day yesterday with a lot of character work going into a new book. 
It was nice to see that "Two Tocks Before Midnight" by CJ Martin received a review from Jennie Mortarotti.

Jennie Mortarotti
It reminded me of how much fun it was to record the book, as I have a special affinity with any old style Sherlock Holmes-type stories. I love the settings and have been more or less begging CJ Martin to write more of the Agora series. 

It is always great to see kind words about narrators in the review also.
Sometimes we get forgotten about. 
But then again, isn't that our aim: to silently and unobtrusively entertain our listeners?

My thanks goes out to Jennie for her kind words.
