    The Lost Link

    The Lost Link by Michelle Bryan is finally available! I will update as it becomes available on more retailers; but she's out! Of course you all get a sample and also, I plan on releasing a couple of chapters for every book I do out on my YouTube channel. This way, for anyone who still isn't sure, they can listen to a MUCH longer sample and decide! Anyways, below is the narration.



    I die every night in my dreams.

    Add to that the hallucinations of people I've never met and creatures that don't exist, and you can see why I don’t let anyone in. People don't take well to weirdos that can't tell reality from illusion.

    That all changed the day a dragon attacked. Yup, that’s right. A real-life, smoke-breathing dragon hunted me down in the middle of a school day. I only escaped because a Faerie forced me to jump through a fire portal into a realm of magic. Normal, right?

    Just when I thought things couldn't get any weirder, I met him. The Fae prince. Eyes of jade, ebony hair, and a smile that made my knees weak. Too bad he was my mortal enemy sent to finish what the dragon started.

    Now, faced with parallel worlds, a daring escape plan, and an evil queen bent on taking over the universe, only one thing is for certain. I’m in way over my head.

    There are a lot of retailers some of my audiobooks will appear on, so take this cheat sheet that will take you to all the stores my audiobooks are available on!

    Queen of Dragons


    I mentioned the release of Queen of Dragons in another blog post, but I want to give it more of the spotlight. As someone who is a big fan of fairy tale spin offs and strong heroines, I'm really excited to see where Azia's journey goes! There is three more books in this series, so definitely keep an eye out for them. Below this will be the summary and some helpful links to help lead you to how to purchase or even get the book for free!


    Publisher's Summary


    What happened after the happily ever after? You all know the story of your favorite fairy tale, but did you ever wonder what happened after the fairy-tale ending? Well, we know. Not all afters end up happily; sometimes the real adventure starts much later.... No one understands what it's like when your mother is famous for her beauty and you are, at best, average. Actually I'm wrong. She wasn't famous just for her beauty, but that's how people tell the story, how people have always told the story. That was even her name for a while. No one remembered her real name. She was just the sleeping princess or Sleeping Beauty. Even all these years later, when the royals appear in the paper, my father, the king, barely gets a mention, and I'm only a footnote in my own life, destined to always be Sleeping Beauty's daughter. My name's Princess Azia Rose of Draconis, and here is my story.... Following famous fairy-tale characters, 18 years after their happily ever after, the Kingdom of Fairytales offers an edge-of-the-seat thrill ride in an all-new and sensational way to listen to.

    Fantasy Art & Audio


    Hello friends! Exciting news to announce. I am getting back into drawing again and I have the first drawing done. It is my version of "The Hermit" tarot card and due to me beginning my journey into witchcraft, this is really fun for me. I intend to make my own deck and if another interest arrives in people wanting it, I might even put it up for sale. :) My art-style is a mixture of watercolor, paint, and art-nouveau. I am really happy with how this turns out and even more, I've finally found my art-style.



    In other news...


    Queen of Dragons is finally available on Audible! Super happy this book is finally available for purchase and I hope you all enjoy it, especially if you love the idea of an interesting take on Sleeping Beauty.

    Behind the narration - Meow


    Meow has been available on Audible for a few weeks now and it's different from my usual style of narration. It is the first book in the Catnip Assassins Series and is a great introduction to Kat and her band of misfits. Because my of natural, warm and youthful tone, I knew to match the audition specs I'd have to embody a woman who has endured a lot and who has done morally questionable things. Hardening my voice, giving it a slight growl and making myself sound just a bit older, and voila, we have Kat! It's quite an amazing exercise, trying to portray someone who is a merciless assassin and isn't bothered by things that most people would be bothered by...Ahem, like a head in her kitchen's fridge. Still, she is funny and there is a soft side to her.


    I also liked the voice that I had chosen to narrate with for her because it is still easy to listen to while managing to sound rougher and grittier...sometimes, occasionally, she even sounds sexy! Skye MacKinnon's writing certainly made bringing Kat to life pretty easy because as soon as I finished reading the book, I knew who this character was.


    A hardened, independent woman who doesn't want to ever be seen as weak. Only as someone who should be respected, even if that means by gaining respect using fear. She has layers and a very thick wall to get through. That has to be one of the hardest things to do as Kat. Finding that balance of "I don't give a fudge!" and "Okay, I care a little bit".





    For Lily, I wanted to use my regular voice as it is a nice break from Kat's and everyone else's. Despite her being quite seductive, she always had a youthful and playful energy about her through the book, and a certain warmth...She cares about her friends, even though she's just as wicked.


    Bethany was also surprisingly easy. Instantly, I thought she was more exotic due to her fascination with poisons. Also, if you've listened to my other audiobooks, her accent is one that I have practiced well and it's clearly one of my favorite's to do.


    Benjamin had Harley Quinn energy to me from the get go! He is cute, funny, and quite quirky...making him stick out quite a bit in this band of misfits. He's definitely kind of whacko, but I find it very endearing! So I gave him a fun New Yorka accent and a youthful tone.


    Lennox's voice was a tough one. I tried to channel some Geralt with his performance due to what Skye suggested for his tone and such. He's someone who has been through A LOT...a very hard time and life. Plus he seems more like the quiet type aaaand he's kind of an emotionless assassin who doesn't have time for emotions to get in the way! Well, so he thinks hehe.




    Anywho, I hope you all consider checking out Meow and the rest of the catnip assassins as they come out! Skye is so talented and I definitely recommend checking out the rest of her books. Thank you. :)

    Off Limits - Short, sweet romantic audiobook release!

    Hey guys!


    Around the time I finished my young-adult dark fantasy audiobook Rebirth; Birds of Change, I also completed this short, sweet, and steamy romance! It's a little bit more unique compared to my other audiobooks thus far because it actually features my narration and Adam Riley's. So if you like his narration as well, make sure you check out his other works!

    Publisher's Summary


    It's the cardinal rule of the girl code: never date a friend's ex. Laynie Duluth knows that Gideon Roth is completely off limits. After all, he and her best friend, Priya, dated for two years back in college. And there's no statute of limitations on the rules of girl code. Problem is, somebody forgot to tell Gideon. 

    When Laynie wakes up in Gideon's hotel room bed, wrapped up in a naked, deliciously attractive Gideon after a night of explosive, earth-shattering, mind-blowing sex, she knows she's got to fess up and come clean with Priya. 

    Only that's not easy knowing what she knows about her best friend, and it becomes even harder when she learns Priya might just have a secret of her own to come clean about.


    If you like this story, make sure you check out my other audiobooks!

    Rebirth : Birds of Chance AUDIOBOOK!

    Updated: Jun 1, 2019



    In a world divided between those who are talented and those who aren't, Vici is a city governed by an egotistical Praetor driven by his hatred for the gifted individuals - the Tallents - who he considers a plague. Tallents are forced into the shadows, for fear that they will be caught and executed.

    An explosion rocks the city to its very foundation; the sole survivor a young woman with no memories of her past. Her only tie to her previous life is a silver necklace with the name Asylia inscribed. Risen from the ashes, she pieces herself together while taking control of her emerging fire talent. She must be careful; one mistake and she will end up like all the other Tallents who have faced the Praetor's wrath.

    Harbored by a mysterious group called Revival, the young woman discovers that the people of Vici are disappearing at an alarming rate. Together with her new friends, she must rally against the Praetor's tyranny, racing to free the city in hopes that she isn't too late to bring peace to this world in turmoil.






    I am happy to announce that an audiobook that has LONG been in the works is now available on Audible. The author and I both have codes as well to share but we only wish to give it to people who not only have enough time to listen but are willing to leave an honest review upon finishing it.

    UNBELIEVABLE! - Narrated by me!




    Hi guys! Time for another voice update. Recently, I worked with a wonderful author named Larry Dale Sowell on this adorable animated book called 'Unbelievable'! This was a pretty funny book to narrate and it was fun providing all the silly voices in it, particularly Sarah Peppersocks...she's crazy! Haha. The author has worked with other voice-actors on previous stories and they are all equally as cute in terms of art and narration, so I highly recommend checking those out too! Also make sure to subscribe to his channel for updates and future videos.

    Melodious Manuscripts: Teach Me to Prey

    Updated: Apr 29, 2018




    Click this to be led to the book!

    As a voice-actor, I wish to dabble in all things related to it, so that means audio-book narration! This was my very first audio-book so in order for me to perform the narration well, I had to get invested into the story and this definitely sucked me in! You'll get no spoilers from me but I'll supply the summary and tell you what I got from this book while reading it.


    "Teach Me to Prey" is about a teacher named Rebecca Stewart and how she is emotionally and mentally abused by a few of her students. One of them even tries to make advances on her but through sheer will and dedication to her work, she turns him down and proceeds to graduation day! But it doesn't end there...oh no. One of her tormentors is found murdered and so she's hauled in for questioning...while pregnant. That's all you get from me, hehe!


    This was an extremely enlightening read for me as it gave me a glimpse of the drama teachers have to go through all the time...What's worse? The situations that occur in this book are probably just a few examples of what educators have to deal with on a day to day basis. It made me think back to when I was in middle school and how often some of the students would give our teachers a bunch of grief. I will admit that sometimes I had to tell one of the other students to 'shut up' so the teacher could talk because some teachers are just SO nice. Because I was narrating this book, I've had many talks with the author and she's shared some stories with me on how she and other teachers she knew didn't get much respect from not only some students but from the administration. The story really opened my eyes to how underappreciated and devoted teachers are. Many of them put their own money into helping young ones learn! If you ask me, their job is one of the most important professions out there because they help shape young folk's futures. For some, they're like another parent or a really good friend, someone to aspire to or even simply talk to.


    I hope that one day, we can give educators the respect, appreciation, and security they deserve!

    Melodious Manuscripts: The Art of Voice-Acting








    The human voice is arguably the most powerful and influential instrument of them all. Not only are we able to breathe life into a character that didn't have a voice of their own, but we can bend, twist, manipulate it into sounds both foreign and familiar for all sorts of entertainment. Voice-acting isn't just about making funny voices! It is the very thing that whisks you away into a world of fantasy, immersing you into something that may be very different from your reality but communing to you emotions that are relatable. Voice-acting is what makes the connection between us and the characters we love, even though they aren't 'real'. But it isn't because of the 'voice' part...yes, having a pleasant voice is definitely helpful, but what really does the trick, is the acting! But what makes one wish to go into voice-acting? Well I can't speak for other voice-actors, but I'll tell you why I did!



    What was it that drew me into voice-over? Honestly, it was a combination of things! I have been heavily influenced by voice-actors all my life but in truth, I didn't realize this until I just became a young adult. Disney animated movies, my love for singing, video-games, anime, cartoons, reading...they helped shape me into who I am today. All of it inspired me to create my own characters and to give each of them their own voice using just my own but manipulating it to how I envisioned them to sound, plus I draw, hehe. These things even encouraged me to try my hand at world-building and dabble in writing! But something I've noticed, is the more I delve into the depths of my imagination for this craft , the more spiritual I become and the more I realize just how transcendental voice-over can be. It was because of courageous individuals who used their voice that contributed to making incredible and much needed changes throughout history, and I aspire one day to do the same, even if it's just one person I help or connect with. Our voices hold power and as Uncle Ben from Spider-man said, "With great power, comes great responsibility..." which I believe in wholeheartedly. I mean, look at the Dragonborn from Skyrim, he/she is able to send people flying just from a "Fus Roh Da!".


    ´*•.¸ Yes, voice-actors entertain, but they can also make change. ¸.•*´
