Murder At Avedon Hill

One of the nice things about being part of the cast in one pod-novel, is other writers hear you. Which is great for someone who just loves to voice act! PG Holyfield contacted me after hearing me in Billibub Baddings, and offered me a few roles in his podiobook. Like the true voice acting addict I have become, I couldn't say no!

Murder at Avedon Hill is a murder-mystery story taking place in the fantasy world known as Caern.

Lord Avedon has a problem. Generations of Avedons have watched over Avedon Hill and controlled the only pass through the Lantis Mountains. Traditions are important to the Avedon family, but one tradition has tragically come to an end. Gretta Platt, Housemistress of Avedon Manor, has been murdered. A member of the Platt family has always served the Avedons as Housemistress… until now.Only a handful of people live at Avedon Hill, and most are suspects. Arames Kragen, retired Aarronic Advisor and scholar of prophecy, arrives at the gates of Avedon Hill, hoping to gain access to the mountain pass. Lord Avedon is not in a giving mood, however…This is the story of Arames Kragen and his attempt not only to discover who killed Gretta Platt, but also to uncover the truth about a town that apparently has more secrets than inhabitants.

I play Jilly, the baker's daughter, and childhood friend of the murdered Gretta Platt. I have a brief introduction in Chapter 14, part 2, but the bulk of my role is in Chapter 15, where Jilly is questioned by the ones investigating the murder.

Metamor City: Making The Cut

I was thrilled when I was asked by author Chris Lester to bring his character Sasha to life in his pod-novel. I'm not going to post each episode since Sasha is a key character in the book (really, every character has a key role in this book. It's not so much about one or two characters as it is about a group.), so I will give you all the feed information so you can check out this story for yourself!

The Metamor City Podcast features short stories and novels set in an urban fantasy world where spells and cyberpunk collide. 1300 years have passed since the Dark Wizard Nasoj placed a curse on the people of Metamor Valley, twisting their bodies and minds in the hope of making them his servants. They didn't bow so easily. Now, Metamor governs a benevolent empire that spans half a continent. What was once a rural valley with one large castle has become a towering metropolis of fifteen million people, with four layers of magically-suspended roads and buildings that rise hundreds of meters into the sky. The Curse is under control -- mostly -- but the people of Metamor are far from safe. In the shadows of Metamor's glittering spires, beneath the glamour and glory of the Jewel of the North, dark things are stirring. The battle for the future is beginning, and more and more people are learning the one eternal truth about Metamor City: No one who comes here ever leaves unchanged.

Billibub Baddings and the Case of the Singing Sword

This was a fun jaunt for me. Not a huge role, but a bit pivotal come the end, in a plot-supporting sort of way. My role is Daphne, the hat-check girl, who is a little more than she lets you see from the outside appearance. The best part for me, in this role, was how I exited. :-D

It was also the first time I heard a podiobook recorded in this fashion. Half-book, half-audio drama. Full-cast, sound effects, the whole shabang. Bravo, Mr. Morris, Bravo.

(Note: Although these chapters contain Daphne's role in the book, I highly suggest listening to the entire story all the way through. Trust me, it will be entirely worth it!)
