What a thrill to learn that AudioFile Magazine posted this fantastic article recommending 5 books that focus on enhancing women's professional and personal lives...and my recent narration "Ageless Aging" by Maddy Dychtwald from Mayo Clinic Press is one of the suggested titles! Immense thanks to Dreamscape for casting me in the book.

Also recommended are: "15 Lies Women Are Told at Work" by Bonnie Hammer from Simon & Schuster, "Grown Woman Talk" by Sharon Malone from Penguin Random House, "Housewife" by Lisa Selin Davis and narrated by Lyssa Browne from Hachette Audio, and "Build Like a Woman" by Kathleen Griffith from Macmillan Audio.

Listening to audiobooks has always been about more than entertainment for me. Audiobooks need to challenge my thinking, provide vital information, illuminate why things are a certain way, and motivate me. As a working woman, I strive to maximize my time by learning as I walk, drive, do dishes . . .....

I'm so thrilled to have received my second Audiofile review for Maddy Dychtwald's phenomenal book, "Ageless Aging." I'd read this again and again, even if I hadn't narrated it...and grateful to hear that my vegetable lists are engaging to listen to ;-)

I missed a very, very important book birthday yesterday! 2 years ago, this amazing horror novella by landed on ACX...and it continues to be one of my favorite projects thus far (and fed a love of quality horror in me 🧟) Thank you so much, Clay...I am forever grateful that we connected 💕 If you love horror, alpine rock climbing, and skin walkers, go check it out!!

Taking advantage of a gorgeous day to keep an eye on my garden pets (ladybug pupa, baby mantids, and a BIG jumping spider living in the trellis) to get more prep done on this beautifully written book about geology, environmentalism, human relations, life, the universe, and everything! Gratitude to Macmillan Audio and Ally Demeter for this opportunity to test out my big word skills 😉 ❤️

Engaging in a little one-handed prep for my next narration. And of course we own a geological dictionary 😉💖📖🎙️🐾

Got a few new photos and headshots done. Since I chopped all my hair off, figured I should have pics that are an accurate representation 💜 Thank you to for having some fun with me at Kathryn Albertson Park (where Steve and I got married many moons ago...)

This book was SO fun to narrate…first in the Sean McPherson series by fellow Boisean, Laurie Buchanan, Author. And if you get the print book, you could frame that stunning cover 😉 But I highly recommend getting the audiobook as well… https://www.audible.com/pd/Indelible-Audiobook/B0CKWRZKMD?eac_link=uLDxkTJUb5cA&ref=web_search_eac_asin_4&eac_selected_type=asin&eac_selected=B0CKWRZKMD&qid=fnPceUF2YJ&eac_id=143-4130806-7101941_fnPceUF2YJ&sr=1-4

Indelible—with over 300 five-star reviews, I think you’ll ❤️ it too!

It was such a joy to work with Andrew Alonso and Fright Night Audio to create the audiobook of “The Leaven.” Go check out the Fright Night site to see these and more narrated by Women in Horror!! 🧟‍♀️😈

Attending the first Body Image, Sexual Health, and Intimacy & Cancer event at St. Luke's in Boise. What incredibly valuable and important information, and topics that are talked about far too little. If anyone in the Treasure Valley wants more information, please feel free to reach out to me 💜 And attend this event next year!!

Always a financially risky endeavor to step into Rediscovered Books in downtown Boise... today's focus, female Idaho authors, horror, or a combination thereof 🖤📚
