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.
