Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.
Howdy! Welcome to my home on the web. You can learn more about my story here. The gist of it is this: I write reminders to myself about mindset and living joyfully on my blog and in my book. I love to share whatever I’m learning in the hopes that someone else might benefit too. I’m also an audiobook narrator and, let me tell you, I LOVE AUDIOBOOKS!
Why audiobooks? I love listening and learning! I’ve been an enthusiastic audiobook listener for years because…well…what is better for a busy person than listening and learning while doing something else like chores or driving or working out? NOTHING! To me, it’s the best.
I’ve also learned that audiobooks are a great way to package knowledge and stories. It provides something that people are willing to pay for and for good reason. The experience of listening to a well-done audiobook is enjoyable, and it’s done at the time and place of the listener’s choosing. You are not tied to a screen while listening, and you can stop and start as you wish. From both an entertainment and educational perspective, audiobooks are of great value.
A point that played into my decision to focus on audiobook narration for my career is the actual production process. I love it! The audiobook production process is a nice mix of art and technique. I enjoy being in my studio interpreting information and stories for listeners. I love self-directing and self-producing. The technical and precise process of proofing and mastering the recording is fun for me too.
The ACX Royalty Share Program has been a game maker for me. I like royalty share projects the best because they fit into my lifestyle well. It’s a good trade for me and the authors and publishers I work with because I don’t need to worry too much about deadlines and they don’t need to worry about paying a big chunk of money up front to get the audiobook produced. In the end, if all goes well, we all benefit from audiobook sales once the project goes live. It’s a win-win-win!
I hope you will enjoy an audiobook that I have narrated and produced soon, and if you know a talented author ready to get their book in audio format, send them my way. In the meantime, let’s dive in!
