So tremendously chuffed that my podcast is now live on Spotify. Whistleblowers is produced by Parcast & the lovely gang at Stabl. About heroic people who risk everything to speak truth to power.
Moral dilemma and noble intentions are also at the heart of my latest audiobook, Our Child of Two Worlds – a sequel to the gently brilliant Our Child of the Stars. You can find both on audible.
You might think my latest non-fiction title, CEO Excellence is more about cold hard cash than ethics. But don’t be so quick to judge. Encouragingly, the book says top CEOs are driven more than ever by a need to do good in the world. Our planet needs a lot more of that.
Busy in my home studio at the moment, but so enjoyed some recent projects recorded out and about: Laura Lam’s eerily prescient sci-fi, Goldilocks, and Dashe Roberts’ wacky and wonderful, Sticky Pines: The Bigwoof Conspiracy, to name but two.
Positively tickled pink to have been part of the ADR team on RUN – the new HBO series from the talented ladies behind Killing Eve & Fleabag.
And, there’s little more ‘cherry on the cake’, than getting positive feedback for a project you loved working on. Many thanks to AudioFile for the lovely review of Marc-Uwe Kling’s fabulous QualityLand.
I couldn’t be prouder of my latest audiobook releases. From horrific soviet history (Anne Applebaum’s Red Famine), to a heartwarming tale of acceptance and forgiveness (Julie Cohen’s The Two Lives of Louis and Louise).
Another couple of favorites are 2 exceptionally humane and well-written sci-fi novels – Record of a Spaceborn Few, the latest from Becky Chambers’ hugely popular Wayfarers Series, and the retro space-race tale Our Child of the Stars, by Stephen Cox.
I’m very proud of my latest audiobook. It’s Block 46 – the first in the Roy and Castells murder mystery series. It’s scandi-noir with a french twist. It was a linguistic rollercoaster – but, thankfully, I can now do a convincing rendition of The Insy Winsy Spider in Swedish…
I’ve also recently become an instant expert in managing a culturally diverse workforce with The Culture Solution, and wooing millenials to top flight companies with Leading with Vision. Which is why I was in need of some R&R. If you ever find yourself on Canada’s West Coast try to find Mussel Beach Campground, 15 miles down a dirt track. Well worth the journey.
Another year, another sci-fi space opera by Becky Chambers: A Closed and Common Orbit. I’ve been back in the studio recording the sequel to Bailey’s Women’s Prize nominee The Long Way to A Small, Angry Planet.
I’m pleased as Pims to have voiced the Wimbledon Weekends ad campaign in Canada – in French Canadian to boot.
And…it’s all a bit hush-hush, but fingers crossed the English-language version of Magiki from Zodiak Kids finds a home – I’m pretty excited to be playing Lady Fiona in this lovely new cartoon series for 4-7 year olds.
Big congratulations to Becky Chambers for making it onto the Baileys Women’s Prize longlist for her wonderful sci fi space opera The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, which I recorded the audiobook for. As Tor.com says, it “will restore your faith in…humanity”.
Proud to be slugging out a double hitter of crime fiction audiobooks, with award-winning actor and producer Roy McMillan at the helm – Chris Mooney’s Fear the Dark and Every Three Hours, from Penguin Audio.
