As an actor, it makes such a difference when books are driven by great characters, and my last few months were brimming with them. Thank you Gollancz and Orion Audio for entrusting me with narrating sci-fi legend Stephen Baxter’s latest, a meditation on the horrors of slavery, that I found profoundly affecting.
I have the privilege of narrating a number of book series, and 2 of my favourites just had new releases: Kim Griswell’s hilarious & heartwarming Death in the Haunted Wood, and the latest in the excellent Emily Ray series by actor turned writer Michele Dominguez Greene, who you might remember from L.A. Law’s first Prime Time same-sex kiss. Both have characters that are a joy to bring to life.
And I love working with women directors at the top of their game – With powerhouse Kirsty Gillmore at the helm, I get to call the shots as a military commander in the VR title, Titan Isles, out now.
