Whoa. Long time, no blog. I'm in one of the occupations that the Corona virus hasn't had much of an impact on. Narrators mostly work from home in our own studios so it's been business as usual for me. However, there's been a serious backlog at Audible since the holidays. My latest recording to go on sale has been in the queue since late January but finally hit Audible a few days ago.
This one is part true crime and part memoir. Mothers & Murderers: A True Story of Love, Lies, Obsession...And Second Chances is by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Katherine Ellison.
"Mothers & Murderers: A True Story of Love, Lies, Obsession...and Second Chances
takes listeners on a wild tragicomic ride from the criminal courtrooms
of California’s Silicon Valley to the Himalayan mountains of Pakistan to
the deserts of Ethiopia.
In delightful, insightful prose, Ellison reflects on her mistakes and
her triumphs as she weaves together the stories of how her Pulitzer
Prize-winning career almost ended before it began, how she nearly missed
marrying the love of her life, and how she unwittingly got drawn into a
stranger-than-fiction murder case.
Rich in drama and self-reflection, replete with unique characters -
including two bumbling hitmen, a rodeo-riding prosecutor, a flamboyant
Beverly Hills defense attorney, and a charismatic stay-at-home
mother-of-three who is keeping outrageous secrets - Mothers and Murderers is a mashup of Fargo, Body Heat, and Eat, Pray, Love.
It's guaranteed to make you laugh, cry - and think."
