What’s Kim Reading Now? Housekeeping by (ahem) Kim Fielding
Yeah, okay, okay. Narcissism much? But the reason I want to mention this book isn’t because of the writing, but because I just listened to the audio version. It’s narrated by K.C. Kelly, who did such an amazing job with Brute. And he certainly didn’t disappoint me with this one.
I am a huge fan of K.C. Kelly. I’ve listened to him read Mary Calmes’ Frog, Ryan Loveless’s Ethan, Who Loved Carter, and Rowan Speedwell’s Love, Like Water. He did such a terrific job with all of them. So much so that even when it was my own book and I knew what would happen next, I sometimes walked extra blocks to hear some more.
Listening to my own books is a weird experience, because I’ve already heard those characters in my head. But K.C. Kelly managed to capture them exactly right, whether it’s Lord Maudit’s nasal irritability or Evan’s “darlings” and dramatic tones. He gets the emotions perfect too. The funny parts are funny, the sad parts are sad, and the sexy parts are sexy.
So whether you choose my books or someone else’s, you should give K.C. Kelly a try. I hope I am lucky enough to get him for future projects!

Can only guess how it sounds but I just finished Venetian Masks and put Housekeeping on my shelf to read as the next Kim Fielding before going into Goodreads to mark my process when I saw your entry. I take it as a good omen that I made the right decision :) ... even if it's not the audio book
K.C. Kelly did a fabulous job with Brute (I've listened to it ALOT) and I really like what he's done with the other works as well. Too bad there's not more. I think he'd be perfect for Guarded but since it's a Love’s Landscapes story it probably won't be synchronized, huh?Anyway, I kinda understand why you would listen to your own story - especially if it's voiced by K.C. Kelly.

He'd be great for the one I just wrote!
