I'm super excited to share the news that Layla and Cricket are now on audiobook! It took me awhile to find the exact right narrator for the series, but I am so pleased to introduce Kristin James, who narrated both books, to you. It's completely fin to have the book an audio, but I've also found it has a weird side effect on my writing. I'm working on The Shadow Aspect right now. I don't know how Cricket and Layla used to sound in my head as I wrote, but now I hear Kristin's narration and it feels perfectly natural. It's really fun to see how the creation of the audiobook project impacts the entire series!
About the Narrator
Kristin “KJ” James was born and raised in the Nashville, TN area. Acting has always been a passion of hers. Starting on the stage as early as preschool, KJ pursued her passion into college where she received a BA in Communication with a double emphasis in Theatre and Public Relations from Mississippi State University. After college she found herself more and more drawn to voice overs. Several classes, coaching sessions, seminars, research, and a closet-turned-studio later, and she now records and produces audiobooks on a regular basis. She has also done several radio commercials for clients such as Advance Financial, TriStar Health, and GAC.
When she’s not in her booth, you can find her crocheting, playing video games, or running agility with her dog, Zeus. If you’re unfamiliar with the sport, check out the video!
