John Michael Morgan
Dear Everyone,
It is with sadness that I announce the passing of John Michael Morgan. John was the narrator of my audiobooks and an exceptional actor.
When I was choosing the narrator for The Gabriel Series, I had the opportunity to listen to a number of audition tapes from very talented actors. John immediately caught my attention with his ability to morph into different characters. His audio recordings of The Gabriel Series are incredible. I still listen to them, fascinated by his performance.
When it came time to choose a narrator for The Florentine Series, I requested John. Unfortunately, he was ill at that time. But John wanted to record the audiobooks despite his illness and so we were delighted to be able to work with him once again.
My novels aren’t easy for a single actor to perform. There are many characters and nationalities presented. The characters sometimes speak in different languages or with unique accents. The Florentine Series in particular provided challenging material. John didn’t simply narrate The Raven and The Shadow – he performed them. He brought life to all the characters, especially the Prince, in a way that reminded me of the radio shows of long ago.
I am so sorry to hear of his passing and I wish to express my condolences to his friends and family. Please join me in remembering John. You can read a previous post that includes his biography here. You can listen to a sample of his exceptional narration here.
Thank you for listening,
SR

Hard to lose a friend
Oh I am heartbroken. He has been one of my Favourite narrators. And he truly brought your characters to life so perfectly. Even when I re-read the hard copies...it is his voice that I hear. My deepest condolences to you and his family.
I loved his voice, especially as the prince. It was so comforting. Like a warm blanket. I will keep his freinds amd family in my prayers.
