New Books and Nominations

It’s been a busy month – I had five books out, and they’re all very different. I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to narrate across so many genres, and to develop a special relationship with particular authors, especially in the case of a series like that by Holly Hunter or Alexander Larman.

Meet Me When my Heart Stops by Becky Hunter
The Missing Maid by Holly Hunter (first of a series)
Dracula Park by Dana Grigorcea
The Rebel Pianist of Majdanek by Nicola Pittam
Power and Glory by Alexander Larman (final book in a 3 book series)

In other news, I am very proud to mention two nominations, the results of which will be announced next month. I’ve been shortlisted for Best Performance in the Factual category at The One Voice Awards (18 May). And ‘Conviction’ by Jack Jordan has been nominated for another award – ‘Crime Audiobook of the Year’ – part of the Fingerprint Awards at the Capital Crime Festival 2024 (30 May). I’m very grateful to the nominating committees and am keeping my fingers tightly crossed!
