I've just finished recording an #audibook of 100-word short stories & poems.

Matthew Brinkley's "Hundreds" was great fun to record, and he managed to cram amazing ideas into each tale despite being only 100 words long

Here's a look behind-the-scenes

It's great to get to play roles outside the usual, and given my usual is Kings, Dragons and Nefarious Victorian Villains, lending my voice to the tutorial of this awesome mech shooter was fantastic!

**CASTING CALL**
This last one is going so good, why not another? My dark fantasy audio drama, "Vandre Sul", needs voice actors to bring its cold, bleak world to life! It's unpaid work, but all VAs are given shout-outs!

Not voice acting related, but this book was so good I just had to share.

Robert Jackson Bennett's Tainted Cup was a great murder mystery in an fantastic world where all technology is based on weird biology.

I've never read anything like it, 100% recommended.

I've been having a great time voicing Flick in the Whispers From the Anchor narrative podcast. There's some great talent amongst the cast, and the story is full of that underlying mystery that I find so compelling in Fantasy & Sci-Fi.

Earlier this year, I narrated my first #non-fiction #audiobook, a first-person account of a Smelter Explosion in one of Canada's largest steelworks. It was a fascinating look into a world I know nothing about, and I'm pleased to say it's now available on #audible: www.audible.co.uk/pd/No-Smoke-...

It's incredible that this game was made in just 30 days for #NaNoRenO2025. The art is fantastic, and the branching story is very well written.

It also happens to have yours truly voicing a rather grumpy dragon...
