New recording (finally!) on Audible

Having a new roof put on your house and recording audio are two things that definitely do not mix.  I had to work on a couple of short projects in between the sounds of ripping, hammering, etc.  One hit Audible today via Spoken Realms:  Gretchen's Forty Winks by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

"A light, comedic short story from American author F. Scott Fitzgerald.

A young married couple with a baby is eking out a living while the husband, Roger, works to establish his own advertising company. His wife, Gretchen, is stunningly beautiful and unhappy with how much time Roger spends working.

After an evening with Roger's old friend, George Tompkins, who suggests that Roger needs more of a work/life balance, a flirtation begins between George and Gretchen.

How Roger decides to nip the relationship in the bud while meeting his career goal involves, among other things, a sleeping potion and a suitcase full of his wife's shoes."

To listen to the sample and/or purchase the recording, head to Audible here.

A classic recorded for Audible

It was such a pleasure to record a classic literary short story.  Bernice Bobs Her Hair by F. Scott Fitzgerald has been a favorite since the first time I read it in high school.   My narration of this story is now available on Audible as of today.

Bernice is spending the month of August with her cousin Marjorie and finds herself unable to fit in with Marjorie's friends.  Marjorie gives Bernice some pointers on speaking to boys and making them want to dance with her.  Marjorie doesn't count on just how well Bernice learns and Bernice is shocked at Marjorie's response to her popularity. I still LOVE the ending of this story.  Perfect.

You can listen to a sample and purchase the book here.
