Projects

Every project I narrate is a collaboration built on trust, care, and storytelling.

​

From audiobooks to long-form narration, I partner with authors and producers to bring stories to life with clarity, emotion, and authenticity. Whether the tone is intimate, adventurous, instructional, or reflective, my goal is always the same: to serve the story and honor the author’s voice.

​

Below you’ll find a selection of past and upcoming projects, including published audiobooks and works currently in production. Each project represents a unique journey and I’m grateful to be part of the creative process behind every narration.

What the Ocean Brings

By Tonya Ulynn Brown

Quebec, Canada, 1847. While trying to escape the Potato Famine, shipwrecked Irish immigrant Breanna Clarey awakens injured and alone on an unfamiliar beach. To make matters worse, she has been separated from her family, and her friend, Crow, is lying dead at her feet. But when Dawson Roberts, a reclusive fisherman with a guarded past and big dreams for his future, finds Breanna, he puts his plans on hold to offer her shelter and help find her family.

​

But life for an Irish immigrant isn't easy. Facing a deadly quarantine station, dangerous immigration officials, and grief over her missing family, Breanna struggles to exert her independence and navigate her new world. While Breanna confronts an unknown future, Dawson is plagued by a painful past. They each must determine their own course, even if it means ignoring the pull they have on each other.

​

When the future takes an unexpected turn, only the ocean that has brought them so much devastation can help them find their way back to where they belong.

The Doors of Chamberlain

By Steve L Clark

Something lives behind the door.

When Janie's boyfriend Mark goes missing while filming a ghost hunting documentary, she spirals into a deep depression. Three months pass with no leads or answers.

With all hope fading and facing the reality of a future without him, Janie receives a package in the mail with no return address. It contains a flash drive and a simple note...

Mark is not dead. I need your help. Watch the videos.

The truth is more sinister than she imagined. She shares the videos with Mark's sister, Leslie, and together they are pulled into a mystery that changes everything.

Sometimes the missing should not be found.

Call Game

By Graham Elder and Laura Cody

Chief orthopedic resident, Dr. Rylan Fraser, knows she’s in for a bad on-call night when she arrives in the trauma bay to find a young father barely holding on after a major motorcycle accident. It’s the eve of Thanksgiving, so staffing is thin, but things slide further downhill when she learns her junior resident is AWOL and the blizzard raging outside has stranded her supervising attending in a roadside ditch. This means she must fly solo, breaking the established chain-of-command to perform a series of emergency operations she is almost-but-not-entirely qualified to do on her own. Just when she thinks things can’t get any worse, they do. In between surgeries, Rylan is summoned to the ward to check on her post-op patients—only to find one after the other dead in their beds.

​

With stress levels skyrocketing, Rylan teams up with the friendly (and handsome) on-call psychiatrist, Dr. Paul Bennet, to puzzle out what’s happening. Nothing is quite what it seems, though. As the night unfolds, Rylan and Paul are pulled deeper and deeper into a sick cat and mouse game in which their very own lives hang in the balance.

Enter a world where supernatural beings are normal...

I'm Ali Welson, the most normal, goody-two-shoes girl you'll meet. It's how I survive a strict home, far from the mysterious Dark Corruption that converts people into vampires, werewolves, goblins, witches, and other creatures of the night on contact.

But after a close call, Monstreuse, the monster academy, sends an obnoxious sorcerer to claim an unwilling new student: me. It's a mistake, I swear! I never touched the dark force as much as Byron insists otherwise. But when my family disowns me, I have no choice but to go.

Thrust into a new, forbidden world, I'm sure I won't survive my classes, my classmates, or my new rival. But even that pales in comparison to the biggest horror of all. I might be the least normal Monstreuse student in history, and my family is right to fear me.

Why else would someone be trying to do me in?
