  1. Tell us about the process of turning your book into an audiobook.
    1. It was a lot simpler than I expected. I requested audio samples from several narrators and after listening to their extended samples, deciding what tone and diction I wanted, booked a narrator. We went back and forth on pronunciations on  a few things and then she worked chapter by chapter uploading the audio. I listened to each, sent my notes for changes and corrections, and then she reuploaded the audio based on those changes. All in all it was a painless process. It was much weirder hearing my book read back to me by a voice actor. I was not prepared for how surreal that was. 
  2. Was a possible audiobook recording something you were conscious of while writing? 
    1. No! Not even a little bit. It wasn’t until much later when it was in the publishing stages that I even considered an audiobook. 
  3. How closely did you work with your narrator before and during the recording process? Did you give them any pronunciation tips or special insight into the characters? 
    1. Absolutely. I provided her with a breakdown of the main characters, what their insights were, motivations. I broke down a little bit of how I heard them in my head. Then I was able to note changes, corrections, or requests once the initial recording was ready. 
  4. Were there any real life inspirations behind your writing? 
    1. Of course. Art reflects life, right? Even if it's a really small inspiration. Mannerisms, behaviors, speech patterns. All those I pulled from various aspects of life. A lot of Rose is based on me. A lot of her faults are mine. Lol. 
  5. How do you manage to avoid burn-out? What do you do to maintain your enthusiasm for writing?
    1. That one’s hard. Burn-out is definitely a thing. I try not to focus too much on page count or daily words written. I know that’s a strategy a lot of writers use but I don’t like that kind of pressure lol. I’m a pantser when I write so I already don’t know what I’m doing and now you want to add the pressure of a word count? Nope. I write when my muse talks. I re-read and edit when she’s quiet. I take it one day at a time. 
  6. Are you an audiobook listener? What about the audiobook format appeals to you? 
    1. Yes I love audiobooks! I just don’t have enough time to sit and read as much as I want. I love that it allows you to multitask. I  also think sometimes I can fall deeper into the book  when I’m listening to it. A little bit like a movie I guess. 
  7. If this title were being made into a TV series or movie, who would you cast to play the  primary roles? 
    1. Oh man. Talk about a dream right? Well, if I got to pick Millie Bobbie Brown as Rose. Or maybe Daisey Riddle. For King Micah someone like Benedict Cumberbatch, but Dr. Strange Cumberbatch. I picture someone bad ass like Michelle Pfeiffer for Cap. Sayla. 
  8. What do you say to those who view listening to audiobooks as “cheating” or as inferior to “real reading”?
    1. Lol. I’d say get over yourself. As long as you’re enjoying the work, taking it in, experiencing the book, who cares how you’re doing it? You do you. 
  9. How did you celebrate after finishing this novel? 
    1. Got a tattoo. Lol. I got a feather quill with ink blots and “Carpe Diem” on my arm. Then I took a nap. 
  10. What’s next for you?
    1. Well, Shadow’s Past, the sequel, is set to come out Oct. 15. I hope to get book 3 going here soon after I take a well deserved nap and I also have an unrelated book in the works that I’m excited about.

About the Author: Daniel Orrett
Daniel enrolled in Bangor University, North Wales in their film program, but quickly found that his work on his YouTube channel ‘Spacedock’ was proving to offer more experience in the entertainment industry than his formal education. His work on the channel quickly drew the attention of popular video game company Slitherine Software, which had been given the license to work on the Battlestar Galactica property. 
Recognizing Daniel’s knowledge of science fiction and writing acumen, they granted him free reign to contribute to the canon of the Battlestar Galactica world. He was later brought on by SyFy to do similar work for ‘The Expanse’, which turned into his popular series ‘Force Recon’.
In his spare time Daniel enjoys reading and learning from the works of heritage science fiction authors and screenwriters, such as James S.A. Corey, Ronald D. Moore, and D.C. Fontana. He took several courses through The Open University to hone his craft in creative writing and screenwriting, practices his writing abilities with several screenplays and short stories, and frequently analyzes narrative theory in video essays on his channel.

Character Profiles...

Cassandra Farren: 
Height: 
Hair/Eye Colour: Brown
Nationality: Centran Assembly, Centrum
Job: Privateer Captain of the Guinevere, Defense Adjutant of the Avalon Expedition
Favourite beverage: Tea

As the only child of a renowned military family, Cassandra Farren was groomed for a naval career from birth, attending numerous War Colleges and Military Academies. Through studied dedication and hard work, Farren graduated with high acclaim and became an officer in the Centrum Defence Forces.

After a traumatic event that ended her naval career, Cassandra was eventually convinced by her friend Tamara to begin applying her skills and qualifications again in a freelance role. The two women began to accept privateer work across the Tantalus Cluster.

Assuming the role of a captain again was extremely difficult for Cassandra, but she ultimately accepted command over two crew members. In the months prior to the events of The Sojourn, Cassandra has pledged her ship and crew to the civilian Avalon Expedition, an ambitious project to travel into unknown space in search of desperately needed resources.
Elizabeth Ancelet: 
Height: 
Hair/Eye Colour: Red hair, brown eyes
Nationality: Centran Assembly, Firewatch
Job: Director of the Avalon Expedition
Favourite vice: Cigarettes

Elizabeth grew up hearing about the Wanderer Expedition that first colonised her homeworld and became fascinated with science and exploration. She studied at the most prestigious centres of education on Firewatch, where she was noticed for her natural ability and was personally tutored by Doctor Sadavar Edric – eventual designer of the Edric’s Gate Program. Elizabeth’s family was killed in a collateral explosion caused during a Union/Assembly skirmish in orbit when she was a student, and Sadavar Edric adopted Elizabeth as his daughter. Ultimately, they worked together on the Edric’s Gate project until his retirement just before the launch of the Avalon Expedition.

Elizabeth is confident, outgoing, passionately enthusiastic and somewhat reckless, behaving with an ever-apparent love for life and the universe. She brings this attitude to her leadership style, taking the responsibility of leading 60,000 personnel into unknown space without hesitation.

Tamara ‘Meds’ Melari: 
Height: 
Hair/Eye Colour: Brown
Nationality: Frontier Union, Maiala’s Rest
Job: Medic, communications
Favourite song: “Love Me Once Again” by Travis Lock.

Tamara Melari learned medicine working in improvised clinics on her poverty stricken homeworld. When the Frontier Union (including Maiala’s Rest) rose in revolt against the Centrum Assembly, an enraged Tamara abandoned her people. Feeling that the Assembly was doing everything it could to help the worlds struck by famine, she joined the Centrum Marine Corps as a field medic, where she met and befriended Cassandra Farren.

After years of fighting her own people, the Frontier Wars ended as work began on Edric’s Gate, and Tamara left the military to become a freelance doctor, helping those who suffered at the hands of her people.



Mathias Croft: 
Height: 
Hair/Eye Colour: Brown
Nationality: Merician Freehold, Meric’s Keep
Job: Pilot, engineer, chef, morale booster
Favourite activity: Cooking

Born aboard Towershield Station over the planetoid Meric’s Keep, Mathias Croft has lived an adventurous and independent life working in dozens of different jobs, both safe and dangerous, both legal and not, across the Cluster.

Eventually Mathias Croft met Cassandra Farren and Tamara Melari in a bar on Valeria Sibus, where they hired him to complete the crew of their new ship, the Guinevere. Mathias became very fond of the Guinevere and his new crewmates, and over the years he slowly decreased his service fee until ultimately accepting an equal cut and a permanent position aboard the ship, which he had come to see as his home.

Synopsis: In the first in Tracy Sumner’s sizzling League of Lords historical series, mysticism and paranormal abilities in Victorian England set the stage for a captivating love affair...
He’s a viscount with a dark past who yearns for the one woman he can’t have. She’s a psychic firebrand. Rebellious, spurned by society and determined to change his mind.
What’s a defiant woman to do when the man she’s meant for doesn’t believe in love?
After three years of waiting for Julian Alexander to realize they are destined to be together, Lady Piper Scott takes matters into her own hands. Because her gift as a healer has never done anything but distance her from the most principled man in England. A meaningless diversion as a medium, all done to gain a certain wandering viscount’s attention, backfires. As most endeavors have for a woman known in the ton as Scandalous Scott.
What’s a reluctant viscount to do when the woman he can’t have becomes the woman he can’t live without?
Julian Alexander, Lord Beauchamp, battled his way from the lowliest slum to assume his title. He carries not only a turbulent past, but a mystical psychic gift that separates him from society. Honorable to his core, he is committed to protecting a community of outcasts with abilities like his own. He has no time, no place, for love. Or repeatedly rescuing the most outrageous, beguiling woman he’s ever known. Even if she needs his protection most—and he desires her above all others.
Seduction, intrigue and desire lead to an explosive passion…
Julian vowed to shield Piper from the deadly foes seeking to possess her powerful gift. Although he needs her help in controlling his own, the mix could be deadly. Soon what was once a simple agreement to work together becomes enchantingly complex as they surrender to a timeless love…

Interview with Tracy Sumner
Tell us about the process of turning your book into an audiobook.
I worked with a fantastic narrator, Kimberly M. Wetherll. I loved her voice, asked her if she wanted to work on the series, which is steamy -- and she said yes! She sent samples of the characters, and it was hard at first hearing them on audio, I have to say. Because before that, they were only in my head. ;)
Do you believe certain types of writing translate better into audiobook format? 
I don’t know. i’ve listened to fiction and non-fiction, and loved both. But I think romance translates very well! So much emotion and great dialogue!
Was a possible audiobook recording something you were conscious of while writing? 
No. I just write as it goes -- but I’m SO THRILLED to have the various formats available. Ebook, print, audio. Because it’s very subjective, how we like our romance/entertainment!
How did you select your narrator?
    I listened to a lot of samples on ACX and decided Kimberly was the rockstar! (I also work with another fabulous narrator, Robin Siegerman on other series.)
How closely did you work with your narrator before and during the recording process? Did you give them any pronunciation tips or special insight into the characters? 
Yes, I gave her a character sheet with some thoughts about the personality of the characters. And some tips on speech -- but really, very little there. Kimberly is a TRUE pro!
How do you manage to avoid burn-out? What do you do to maintain your enthusiasm for writing?
I’ve been reading historical romance since I was 19, and I love the genre! I’m a huge reader aside from writing, so this keeps me going. But I do need to take breaks and just read. Right now, I’m reading Roni Loren. (I read contemporary and historical romance -- and I prefer steamy reads!)
Are you an audiobook listener? What about the audiobook format appeals to you? 
I love audiobooks -- and used to listen a lot while driving to work. (Non-writing gig) But now I’m working from home, so I’m behind on my listening!
Is there a particular part of this story that you feel is more resonating in the audiobook performance than in the book format? 
Maybe the love scenes. :)
If you had the power to time travel, would you use it? If yes, when and where would you go? 
I’d go back to the Regency period and go to a masquerade ball!
If this title were being made into a TV series or movie, who would you cast to play the  primary roles? 
This series is a cross between The Nevers and Bridgerton. Hard question! My inspiration for Finn (The Rake is Taken) was Sam Claflin. And for Bastian (The Duke is Wicked), Benedict Cumberbatch in his role as Sherlock!
What do you say to those who view listening to audiobooks as “cheating” or as inferior to “real reading”?
No way! It’s such a submersive experience - and takes your imagination just as much as reading! And it’s calming. And exciting. Depending upon what you’re listening to.
How did you celebrate after finishing this novel? 
Started on the next. ;)​
What bits of advice would you give to aspiring authors?
Nora Roberts once told me: patience, when I asked this same question of her. KEEP TRYING. Don’t give up. (I’ve done that at points, so I know what I’m talking about.) It’s hard but perseverance is the way to make it.
Do you have any tips for authors going through the process of turning their books into audiobooks?
Interview narrators, ask for other author’s recommendations and HAVE FUN. There are narrators who will defer royalties so you can record and pay them as it sells. IF the narrator is willing to do this.
What’s next for you?
On the audio front, THE HELLION IS TAMED (#4 in this series) is coming out. 2022. On the writing/writing front, I’m working on a new series, THE DUCHESS SOCIETY. The novella intro is out -- #1 in the series coming later in Sept!

Genre: Science Fiction
Release date: Jul. 22, 2021





On Earth, Grover Baines (a NASA scientist) is murdered in 1979 when he stumbles upon a secret third Voyager flight. Unlike the two other probes, Voyager 3 was a small manned craft loaded with reproductive material in hopes of finding a suitable planet for habitation on Alpha Centauri. The scientist's family continues to unravel clues about what happened, and whether there's any truth to the papers they discover. Years later, in 2001, a fourth Voyager is sent on the same mission. Though technology has advanced dramatically in the 24 years since the first three Voyagers were launched, this mission manages to remain secret amid the attacks on the Twin Towers. When contact is lost with Voyager 4, plans are put into motion for a 5th Voyager to retrieve its lost siblings. As NASA struggles to reconcile the past, the crews on each ship wrestle with the boredom of space and limitations of the technology available to them, and the Baines family attempts to find peace with the past.

Jonathan Beville Interview

  1. How did you wind up narrating audiobooks? Was it always your goal or was it something you stumbled into by chance?
    I grew up acting but stopped completely about 20 years ago when life took me in new directions.  Years later, I was looking for something creative in my life and discovered voiceover broadly.  I still do corporate, e-learning, and medical voiceover, but I didn’t find something that truly scratched the creative itch until I was able to immerse myself narrating a novel.  
  2. A lot of narrators seem to have a background in theatre. Is that something you think is essential to a successful narration career?
    I do think a theatrical background is helpful and has been a great toolkit for me to get inside the heads of different characters, but it is certainly not the only way to get into narration.  I think my experience in business has been just as helpful as any theatrical training I had twenty years ago.  Audiobook Narrators are their own small business, and between recording, production, audio engineering, auditioning, marketing (themselves), marketing (a book), there are a lot of hats that narrators have to wear every day.
  3. What type of training have you undergone?
I studied theatre in the Syracuse University Drama Department in the mid 90s but left that world behind before more than 20 years.  Since returning to performing through the world of Audiobooks and VO I have been lucky to learn from coaches who are themselves at the top of the audiobook and VO world including Scott Brick, J Michael Collins and Joe Cipriano.
  1. What are your favorite and least favorite parts of narrating an audiobook?
    I tend to get lost in the preparation stage---beyond the reading the book, I like to do a second pass to make notes, record snippets of character voices, and play around before I start recording in depth.  The most anxiety however comes with pressing the “Submit” button that sends it off for final review and distribution.  Many times, I have to convince myself that “I’ve done enough” or “I’ve done as much as I can right now” because every time I listen to a chapter I find something that I could/would do different (not necessarily better, but different): maybe a longer pause here, a different intonation there, was the attitude right on that line?  It could go on forever.  
  2. What would you say are your strongest narration abilities?
    I’ve been lucky in my life to live and work and travel all over the world.  As I said earlier I draw a lot of inspiration from the people I have met in my life, but also the places I have been.  The first novel I narrated opened with the line “The heat him like a body a blow.” While I’m generally against starting a story with the weather (it was a dark and stormy night is about as a bad a beginning as I can think of even if it was a dark and stormy night), that first line “The heat him like a body blow.” really resonated with me.  The character was walking down the steps of an airplane arriving in the Democratic Republic of Congo in central Africa.  I lived/worked in the Middle East for many years, and indeed, the first thing that hits you is the wave—or rather wall—of oppressive heat.  The second thing (in many places) is the smell—and that was the second sentence.  So, I knew from my personal experiences exactly how Dan (the character) was feeling at the moment, and I am incredibly thankful for that.    ​
  3. What about this title compelled you to audition as narrator?
    I love a good opening line.  Hemingway once said (paraphrasing) start with a simple statement of fact and move on from there.  While Michael isn’t Hemingway-esqe in brevity, the first sentence or two of the book really grabbed me.  “Troy’s father worked for NASA, which meant for much of his life his father was seen as a hero. No, he wasn’t an astronaut.”  It just kind of grabbed me and made me want to know more.  There’s also a beautiful passage later in the 1st chapter that describes Troy and Grover’s stargazing throughout the year.  It’s written in a way that is both technical and lyrical at the same time and was a pleasure of a tongue twister to narrate!

  5. How did you decide how each character should sound in this title?
    Most often I try to draw on people that I know. Other times I create a mental movie of the book and cast the roles from various actors in my mind.  Of the two, I think I use people I have met in my own life more often. With people from my experience there  is a more a personal aspect (positive or negative) that creates a vivid connection to way that a character is voiced, and getting the attitude right is far more important than the sound per se.  

  7. Who is your “dream author” that you would like to record for?
Either Michael C. Grumley or Tom Clancy (When he was alive and writing his own books).  Unfortunately, my coach, Scott Brick, has both tied up---but then again, there is a reason I look to him for guidance.
What do you say to those who view listening to audiobooks as “cheating” or as inferior to “real reading”
Oral story telling is the oldest art and pastime in human civilization. We’ve been telling each other stories longer than we’ve been doing anything else. In his book Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harrari (I’m paraphrasing here) identifies our ability to share an imagined set of circumstances as one of the defining features of what it means to human.  

What’s next for you.
I am currently narrating a 5-book series for Wolfpack Publishing, the Steve Dane Series by Brian Drake, which started with Skills to Kill, and Another Way to Kill.  The audiobooks for the last 3 books in the series will be out in September and October.

Let's dive into the book...      

   Brandon Hawkins is a homeless, nineteen-year-old Marine Corps veteran, currently roaming the boardwalk in Venice Beach California. On the evening of his 19th birthday, he is scavenging for food when he is harassed by three frat boys from a nearby college.
            MichaelAngelo Curtis is a 25-year-old mathematician and programmer for the NSA who is walking the boardwalk while grieving the death of his twin brother six months earlier. For reasons unknown to him, MichaelAngelo intervenes when he sees the homeless guy being harassed and he ends up breaking the arm of the ringleader, Grant Briggs. MichaelAngelo escapes any charges due to the fact that he recorded the incident on his cell phone, which he forwards the police for their report.
            After dealing with the police, MichaelAngelo invites Brandon to his house for a hot meal and a shower. Unbeknownst to both of them, this unexpected encounter leads to a strong bond being forged between the two damaged people who find a temporary respite from their own loneliness.
            The next day, MichaelAngelo discover that the police officers leaked the video to the internet and the clip of the frat boys getting ‘owned’ goes viral, racking up millions of hits in a few short days. The release of the clip and the subsequent outcry over the actions of the frat boys leads the three to be expelled from college, publicly humiliated and their futures ruined.
            While Brandon and MichaelAngelo see themselves growing closer, lines are crossed and feelings morph beyond the simple bonds of friendship, veering towards something like love. This is a big problem since neither one of them is gay. Brandon, an orphan who grew up in horrible foster homes, group homes, juvenile detention and eventually the streets, he has never had anybody in his life to care about him. MichaelAngelo and his twin brother were orphaned when they were eight years old and they only ever cared about each other. Since the death of his brother, MichaelAngelo has been emotionally lost. His inexplicable bond with Brandon is a completely new sensation even while filling a hole in his life that he never thought could be filled.
            As MichaelAngelo and Brandon explore their new and confusing feelings for each other, Grant Briggs, the ringleader of the frat boys, plots his revenge on the people he blames for the destruction of his life. One night, after returning from a vacation with MichaelAngelo, Brandon is viciously attacked by Grant and one of his friends. As his life flashes before his eyes in what he is sure are the final moments of his life, Brandon smiles with the ironic realization that all the pain and suffering he endured throughout his life were necessary to bring him to the point of being able to love and be loved. When his eyes close for the last time, he feels lucky to have met MichaelAngelo and grateful for the love they shared…
            When MichaelAngelo is informed of the attack, he begins and extended vigil at the hospital, the same one where his twin died, and he’s certain that the cruel outcome will be the same for Brandon. Six weeks later, though, Brandon wakes up from his coma, disoriented, but alive. Unfortunately, the attack left him paralyzed from the waist down.
            Before Brandon was attacked, he and MichaelAngelo had acknowledged that they were in love, but they never physically consummated the relationship, mainly due to the fact that MichaelAngelo is a virgin and literally didn’t know how. And while consummating the relationship is a promise that MichaelAngelo made to Brandon, he now refuses to go the distance while Brandon is paralyzed. Since there was no permanent damage to his spinal cord, there is still a possibility that Brandon will walk again. MichaelAngelo is content to wait—using that as additional motivation for Brandon to continue working hard on his complete physical recovery.
            Six months after Brandon’s attack, the relationship shows signs of strain, as Brandon wants to break things off so MichaelAngelo can live a normal life, find love again and live happily ever after. But MichaelAngelo is 100% committed to Brandon—no matter what. On the first night they are in bed together since the attack, Brandon awakens in the middle of the night Something is happening and it can’t wait until the morning. As a startled MichaelAngelo worries, Brandon pulls MichaelAngelo’s hand down across his chest, down his stomach and then to his groin, where, to MichaelAngelo’s surprise, Brandon has come alive! This first manifestation of feeling below Brandon’s waist confirms their hopes for a bright, normal future. Their passionate kisses and tearful embrace show us that true love can indeed conquer all!

Character Descriptions
Brandon ‘Bran’ Hawkins: Bran is a 19-year-old Marine Corps veteran who is suffering from PTSD and is currently homeless in Venice Beach, California. Being homeless is nothing new for Bran, though, as he was an orphan who never knew his parents and grew up in horrible foster homes and group homes and eventually ended up living in the streets of Memphis, Tennessee before enlisting in the Marines at 17. He is used to having nobody to care for him and is not bitter or angry about his crappy lot in life. In fact, he is surprisingly content and matter-of-fact about the realities of his life. His self-deprecating sense of humor and his unbridled joy at the simple things in life make Bran an endearing and lovable character.
MichaelAngelo Curtis: MichaelAngelo, who was named after the famous classical artist, is a 25-year-old mathematician and computer programmer for the NSA. While he has the trappings of a nice life—a beach house, fancy cars and lots of money to burn—he is currently grieving the death of his twin brother, Leonardo six months earlier. MichaelAngelo and Leonardo were exceptionally close, even for twins, after being orphaned by a car accident when they were 8-years-old. MichaelAngelo is devastated because he has never loved or been loved by anyone other than his brother and he has no idea how to navigate the world on his own. MichaelAngelo has no filter and describes himself as a “social retard” due to his inexperience interacting with others in a ‘normal’ manner. But he is always open, honest and direct.
Devon Johnston: Devon is a security agent hired by the NSA to keep MichaelAngelo safe and protected. Because MichaelAngelo works from his home instead of the campus of NSA, his identity and the nature of his work need to be protected so that he remains away from the prying eyes and ears of our enemies. Devon takes his work very seriously and will use the considerable tools at his disposal, including dedicated FBI and CIA operatives to keep MichaelAngelo’s identity safe.
Grant Briggs: Grant is the ringleader of a small group of frat boys that harass Bran on the boardwalk. The selfish, entitled son of a prominent trial lawyer in Los Angeles, Grant is a narcissist that finds a way to blame everyone but himself for whatever troubles he gets himself into. When his ill-mannered exploits on the boardwalk turn into a viral internet sensation, he is expelled from college and becomes a pariah. As his future prospects dim before his very eyes, he sets his sights on getting revenge on the homeless guy who he blames for his current situation.

About the Author: Mitchell Dorian
Mitchell Dorian would proudly describe himself as a non-conformist, hyper-aware of mainstream sensibilities and always sure to contradict them so that he may never be defined by what the herd thinks. He may also have a poor sense of irony.
He lives with his pet rock, Duane, and his Sim family. He finds it easier to be friends with entities whose names, faces, and personalities he can alter at will with a click of a button and/or whim of the mind, depending on his mood.
He has strongly considered setting up a pet Instagram for said rock, but Duane has not proven cooperative yet, often looking away at inopportune moments during the photographing process.
Mitchell's first novel, THE FINAL CONSTANT, will be available on audiobook August 2021.

When did you know you wanted to be an audiobook narrator?
I don’t know that I ever really had a specific moment where I realized this is what I wanted to do with my life, and I certainly never imagined it would become a full-time job. Actually, for quite a while I would joke that I did the opposite of what people who pursue acting careers do in the movies. So instead of sitting around doing math problems all day and then throwing down their pencil and saying “Damn it, I want to act!” I threw down my scripts and said “Damn it I want to do math problems all day!” And then I went back to school. It was only really when COVID hit and I took some time off work for safety reasons that I started pursuing the job in earnest. Next thing I knew it started to pay off, and now I’m here!
A lot of narrators seem to have a background in theatre. Is that something you think is essential to a successful narration career?
Helpful, most definitely, but not essential. It’s great to have experience in any form of acting when you’re doing this because, fundamentally, that’s what a narrator is. But, that said, it’s its own style of acting and not everything in the theater is going to translate perfectly. For example, you don’t have other actors to play off of, and you’re not as free to gesture as you might be on a stage. That said, training specifically in narration is essential. A good teacher makes all the difference when it comes to learning how to understand and engage with the stories you’re telling. 
What type of training have you undergone?
I’ve studied with the great Sean Pratt, of course, and I’ve also studied acting at Anthony Meindl’s Actor Workshop out in Hollywood. I was there for two years, and I’ve been aching to go back for a long time now. I also like to watch/listen to other narrators work to get an idea of how they do their jobs, and I have a ton of teachers in mind I want to work with in the coming years, like Scott Brick and PJ Ochlan. 

How do you manage to avoid burn-out? What do you do to maintain your enthusiasm for narrating?
I recently discovered this magical activity called “going outside for a few minutes” that I do between recording sessions. It really does make a difference to not only leave my studio, but my whole living space, for a little while. It’s really easy, even with clear separation between home and office, to still associate the “home” part of your living space with work since my commute is a walk to another room,. 
Is there a particular genre you feel unsuited for? Have you ever declined a project because you didn’t think you were right for it?
Sure! I think it’s largely an instinctual thing. I’ve had certain projects come my way that I just felt for whatever reason I was not the person who could bring the work to life in the way the author wanted, and I said so. I don’t think it’s a feeling applicable to a certain genre or anything like that, but I’ve definitely had to turn down projects because I’ve felt badly suited for them.
What about this title compelled you to audition as narrator?
I know this author quite well, and I’d been wanting to narrate his stuff for a long time. I jumped at the chance when the opportunity presented itself. 
Have there been any characters that you really connected with?
Actually, Dr. Eddings in “The Final Constant” is definitely one. I’m sure we can all relate to the pain that is wondering “what would my life be like if past me hadn’t done x stupid thing?!” It can be a hard feeling to live with if we let that obsession get the better of us, and when I was reading for him, it felt kind of like I was exploring that idea of an extreme obsession with fixing the past myself. 
If you had the power to time travel, would you use it? If yes, when and where would you go? 
I know it would be a terrible idea, but yes. I would. I think I’d jump way ahead like 7 or 8 billion years to sneak a peek at what the galaxy will look like post-Earth. Plus, this way I can’t screw up the past. 
If you could narrate one book from your youth what would it be and why?
“Holes,” for sure. I think that was the first “mature” book I read in my elementary school days and I remember being blown away by it. And I read it years later and it still held up. It’s just such a cool, unique story told in such a dry, funny way, and I would be over the moon if I ever got to record it.  
What’s next for you?
A lot more books! I’ve got Stacy Bennett’s wonderful “Call of the Huntress,” Sam Burns’ “Fluke and the Faithless Father,” A.V. Warren’s “Vicheu Chronicles,” and A.D. Trosper’s “Dragon’s Call” series. Plus I’m planning on starting my YouTube channel back up and doing some live gaming streams there in addition to my promo videos! Come hang out if you see me!
