Vona Stewart asked Kevin Sands:

We've listened to Blackthorn Key series on audible. I'm sure you have zero control over this, but we LOVED the original narrator, Ray Panthaki! Why wasn't he used for book three? Too busy?

Kevin Sands The first two audiobooks were produced by Puffin, my UK publisher. The third book, however, was produced by S&S in the US. They needed an actor physically present in the US--which, unfortunately, Ray was not, so he couldn't be used.

If you've enjoyed Ray's work, you might be interested in watching him on the small screen, too: he's currently appearing in Marcella, a British detective series; season 1 is available in North America on Netflix.
