British female Audiobook Narrator. I love friendly, quirky and charming. And books 📚 Fantasy, Mystery, History. Also knitting, sewing and pugs 😍
Just wrapped Water Town, Book 4 in the Beaver Island Mysteries by Maia Ross for Tantor. Co-narrating cosy mysteries with Petrea Burchard has been a delight. Three days of directed sessions next week on a Yorkshire family saga. My last audiobook before Christmas!🎅🎄

A little bit of love does go a long way. As a creative freelancer I work super hard and it's so lovely when someone takes time out of their day to say something nice about you. Thank you :) instagram.com/p/C1t…
