What do you always have in the booth?

A toy hedgehog (Mücki) that I’ve had since I was a small child. Battered and shabby, yet still sincerely earnest. He is very encouraging.

How did you come to performing audiobooks?

I started at the Talking Books program at the Library of Congress, while working in theatre in the DC area in the 1980s. Thanks to Grover Gardner, for setting me on this path! Blackstone and Books on Tape were the first publishers to hire me, as a home studio narrator. My husband Michael Kramer and I were hired to narrate The Wheel of Time, which gave rise to many joint fantasy narrations, notably Brandon Sanderson’s work.

Anything else you’d like a listener to know?

I love most genres of books – classics, mystery, romance, biography, fantasy – and enjoy the invitation to embody different characters, and voice an author’s thoughts. It’s all about serving the story.
