“It’s such a joy to narrate a well written piece…

– they are not all well written, you know! I particularly like the character “asides” – a great way to invite the audience into the story. I’m also adoring the intricate way you have weaved the story together. The second reading – just prior to recording – was an epiphany. I spent the entire time slapping my hand against my forehead!”
