Happy #Halloween-ween, boos.

I wanted to do this last year, but RL put it on the backburner.

This year, tho, I got it finished and up on YT in time to give you a spooky listen for your #Halloween prep.

Be safe, be spooky, & happy listening!

For today's tease, we've got a little spicy snippet from a recent #newrelease in the Ivanov Crime Family series by Zoe Blake.
Twisted Proposal is the 5th installment & is certainly one of the most, well, *twisted*.

'Twould appear the chicken I used to make dinner was the culprit.

Unfortunate, because the food was so good, too lol.

It's always fun when the demons get to come out to play :)

For today's snippet, I want to pay tribute to JV Simms, whose work I enjoyed narrating every time it hit my booth.
Sadly, his light was unexpectedly extinguished earlier this year in February, so we will always be left with what could have been.

It's Wednesday, and this week #inthestudio, I'm letting my inner demons out to play. It's time for Mastering Mayhem, book 6 of the Fire Witches of Salem series by the ineffable talent of Carrie Pulkinen!

Food poisoning wasn't on my to-do list for October, but, well, here we are.

-10/10, do *not* recommend.

#TeaseDay
Greetings & Salutations, boos!

Just a little tidbit from A Ghostly Gift: it's a delightfully spooky short starring Verity, Frankie, Melody, and a new cast of colorful spirits to shake things up and give you all the cozy feels.

It's...a little alarming to be suddenly hearing what sounds like a LOT of gunfire out of the blue.

Military grade ballistics, like.

I'm loling over here #inthestudio today b/c the bit I'm recording right now involves a Christmas party scene.

Every time I have to say "Eggnog", my brain whispers, "Don't you mean Chicken Milk?"

Boos. 🤣

Note: I *loathe* eggnog. Rarely, I forget I do, buy some, take ONE sip, & am reminded.

This week #inthestudio, I'm shifting gears from my usual fare to spend some time in a genre I don't often get to play in: Historical Fiction.

A mining town in 1930s America, two sisters on very different paths in life, slowly make their way back to each other.

Check out this great listen on Audible.com. There once was a town where nothing ever happened—until, one day, it did. Corinthia, the librarian of Shadow Ridge, doesn’t fall for mysterious strangers. S...

Boos.

BOOS!

Look what's an Editor's pick for Spotify this month??

This is one of my favorites from this year in the booth.

Such excellent news!

Salutations, boos! I have a very special #Teaseday snippet for you. A while back, I had the pleasure of breathing some life into a cast of characters that were so enchanting, in a story that was unlike anything I'd read before, and yet so cozy that it felt like home.

#SpookySaturday

Spooky season is officially upon us, and in the spirit (heh!) of said season, I thought I'd share a little snippet of one of my favorite projects that *always* puts me in a Halloween-ween mood.

It's also #WorldMentalHealthDay today, apparently.

I need one after this morning's disappointing news.

It's not surprising, but it absolutely sucks to be right about what someone's going to do.

I can do a thing, have multiple examples in an 800+ catalogue, but b/c I lack the right genitals...

This remains, unequivocally, in my top 5 favorite movie moments of all time.

This speech makes me cry. EVERY. TIME.

No matter how often I tell myself to not get angry AT myself when my voice isn't voicing the way I'd like it to...

I'm still sitting here anger-vocalizing to get things working.

Remember: always warm up your instrument. Even when IT doesn't want to.

This week #inthestudio, I’m saying goodbye to Arahasnor. Just wrapped on the final chapters today for A Farm Girl’s Guide To Ruling As A Bloodthirsty Tyrant, the second installment of the The Scandals of the Gifted series by Katy Nyquist.

Staring down a hurtling storm
Makin' its way toward me
Water rips with rage
Endless row of angry waves
Makin' its way towards me🎶
