Is it really mid-summer???

7/11/25

Just returned from a family reunion in Nebraska yesterday-- grandma is 96 years young and still so sharp!  I'm reminded that growing older is not for wimps, as the body doesn't make the same efforts.  It was nice to see her so happy around all of her sons and family, since it's been several years since we've all been together and she was able to join in person-- maybe since pre-pandemic times.  I was grateful to be there too.

​

Audiobook NEWS:

I just turned in my first narration project with Podium Entertainment!  It also happened to be my 2nd self-improvement, non-fiction title this year.  I'll wait to announce, but I learned much about terms that I already thought I understood, which is the purpose of the book, therefore a pressing education for all of us armchair "experts".

​

This spring I narrated my first audio project with John Marshall Media and Hay House Publishing; The Good Goodbye by Maureen Keeley, Ph.D. and Julie M. Yingling Ph.D.  I feel fortunate to be chosen for the book which seeks to help those who desire a meaningful goodbye with friends and/or family at the end of their life.  It includes hundreds of personal interviews over the course of 20 years; people detailing their final conversations, whether the relationship was full of love or a constant struggle during their lifetime.   It was informative, heartwrenching and inspiring.

​

Currently, I'm seaking my next project!

 

New Public Domain Release:  

I was ecstatic to once again work with Spoken Realms for the audiobook of Ex-Wife by Ursula Parrott.  It's my 5th narration of books in the public domain and I was thrilled to find it.  It's a fascinating window into the POV of a woman in the roaring 20's, going through a divorce and navigating the "freedoms" of her new life.  It felt raw and real in a way that The Great Gatsby never did for me.  Note whose book became infamous. . . and we wonder why women still feel unequal.

If you'd like a free audiobook, I have some codes that I would happily give out for a review. . .

 

TV/FILM:

​​​In November, I filmed my 2nd co-star role on Chicago Fire and it just aired in January.

 

​​​​​​​NEW HEADSHOTS!!  I am thrilled with these new photos.  This is the 2nd time I've shot with Tyler Core and I can't speak enough about how great he was to work with, but the headshots should show it.

​Theatre NEWS:​

I am thrilled to announce my first role in a full scale play since before the pandemic.   Babes with Blades cast me in The Mark by Jillian Leff.  I've been a fan of Jillian's writing since I saw a production of Small World with The New Colony in 2019.  Can't wait for rehearsals to start in August!

​

Life News:

She's not new news, but I love this pic of our rescue pup, Raffi.  Her blue eyes pop on this bedspread as she coyly flirts with the camera. ​​She's pretty photogenic, if I do say so myself. . .

Hope this finds you cooling off with your favorite iced beverage!
