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.

Escape Pod
I guess I did something right, because Steve Ely asked me to read another story! This particular one allowed me to revert back to the teen years...

I look at the calendar hanging on the wall above my bed. I reach up, lift it off its nail with one hand and snuggle back under the covers, taking the calendar with me and running a finger over all the red Xs marked over all the days leading up to this one. It’s a little cold out, and the last thing in the universe I want to do is catch an effing cold the week of my birthday, so I snuggle down into the warmth of my flannel sheets even more. I know there’s going to be parties this weekend, and I’m going to want to go.
This is what I’ve been waiting for all these months. All these years, I guess, though before my friends started getting theirs, it didn’t seem like such a big deal. We were all No-Knows then.
Tomorrow, I’m finally going to feel like I belong.
Tomorrow, I’m going to find out how I die.
Rated PG. Contains allusions to profanity and some sexual implication.

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.

Escape Pod
The original science-fiction story podcast- it was honored (and very excited) to read for them!
This particular story was fun to read, as I was able to play with my voice a bit.
---
Tina tugs on Kindred’s bullet-tattered red cape. “What kinda tricks do you do?”
Kindred shakes her head as if bewildered by the question. “Tricks?” She glances back at Megaton, who now juggles three Jersey barriers about a hundred meters out in the devastation.
“Let it go Kindred. We’ve been through a lot.”
“Well that’s good. So now you’re free to put on a carnival. Get everyone together and onto the jet now. And I mean now!” Her voice is so loud it draws everyone’s attention away from the show.
Megaton drops the Jersey barriers and the ground shakes.
Kindred lowers herself to one knee beside the little girl. “My trick is special,” she says, “I can make the whole circus disappear. Abracadabra‚Äî”
Rated PG. Contains superhero violence and organizational politics.

The sisters sat in the back seat, bundled up against winter, as the car idled in the driveway. Julie hunched low, staring at the seat in front of her; Emma slumped against the opposite window, staring at the snow that blanketed the world, staring at her friends, lying silently asleep.
“You’re such a freak,” Julie snarled. “You’re always causing such problems. Why can’t you just be normal.”
“I’m hot,” Emma croaked.
“Well, it’s like thirty degrees out there, have at it,” Julie said, and unclicked Emma’s seat belt.
Emma bounded from the car and ran to join her friends, feeling the refreshing rush of snow on her face. They cheered as she rubbed the ice into her skin, feeling weight lift from her lungs. She breathed in the cold deeply, and became more alive: she noticed the tang of pine in the air; smelled the dirty heat of the car’s exhaust.
She felt a deep hatred for her sister rise. Her friends felt it too. They didn’t need to be told what to do.---

Podiomedia Chat
Host Chris Moody was kind enough to ask me to join him on his interview show. It was another good time- and he interviews all the cool kids. Why did he want me then? Who knows... but hey another excuse to do what I do best- talk!
