HILLBILLY QUEER coming soon as an audiobook!
Dear Readers:
I’m thrilled to share that Spotify / OrangeSky Audio has acquired the audio rights to HILLBILLY QUEER and they’ve cast me as the narrator (yes, I had to audition)!
I was in the studio last week recording it at Round Table Recording Company . . . where Snoop Dog cut an album! 😮 So, even though I can’t rap (or sing for that matter), I imagined the possibilities while behind the mic. 😄
Huge thanks to my agent, Julie Stevenson, my editor, Henna Silvennoinen, and the entire team at Spotify and Round Table Recording for making my writerly (and voice acting) dreams come true!
I can’t wait for you all to experience HILLBILLY QUEER as an audiobook — coming this spring!
💛📚💛📚
