Introducing Edward E. French, Narrator

Edward E. French

I can’t tell you (well, I guess I can, as that’s what I’m trying to do right now) how pleased I am to have Edward E. French, hereafter referred to as Ed, narrating the audiobook version of SEASON OF THE HARVEST, which as you may know is my first foray into the audiobook market.

While Ed’s biggest claim to fame – literally – is his Hollywood special effects makeup wizardry, for which he was nominated for an Oscar for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and was awarded a primetime Emmy for his work on House M.D., he actually began his career as a radio personality at WHAV in Haverhill, Massachusetts. He’s also been an actor, playing roles Off-Broadway and in regional theaters throughout the country, and it was his interest in acting that eventually led him into the special effects makeup business, which he’s been part of now for thirty years.

Over a year ago, however, he decided to revisit his roots in the voice arena, recording several audiobooks, as well as novels written by H.G. Wells, which he’s recorded for his own enjoyment.

What does this mean for you, dear reader (or audiobook listener)? It means that you’re going to enjoy the heck out of this audiobook. Ed’s narration is captivating, and he doesn’t merely read the words to you. He puts his acting experience to good use, injecting energy and intensity into the nearly fifteen finished hours of the story.

The bottom line? You’re going to love it…

The audiobook is currently undergoing pre-publication review by ACX, the distributor. Once that’s done, it will be released to Amazon, Audible, and iTunes. I’ll keep you posted on the release!
