Books have been my passion since my earliest memories. My mother infused me with a love of literature that grew into a lifelong appreciation for the written word. My acting career took me in one direction, while my bookishness pulled me in another, and very often in my early work I wished there was a career that enabled me to pursue both. When the world of audiobooks was introduced, in the early days of recording on cassette tapes, I knew I’d found an avenue that would unite my loves.
