"The Hound of the Baskervilles" is Complete!

I am very happy to announce that "Hound of the Baskervilles" is ready to download! I have a pitifully small part as a driver of sorts, but it's such a good book I was just happy to get a part. Pull on your trench coat and sink into this mystery on the moor!

What I'm Recording: 
I've finally gotten started on Heidi, but that's still a long way from done.In the meantime I signed up for a few small parts in "Twelfth Night", a scene from "Much Ado About Nothing", "Edward III" (both by Shakespeare), and "Jane Eyre".

Jane Eyre is one of my favorite books, so I'm especially excited there will be a dramatic recording. I will be playing the eponymous Jane's cousin, Mary Rivers. A great group of volunteers have already lined up and it's looking like it will turn out to be a superb project.

Shakespeare

The Shakespeare Dialogue collection is done! I have parts in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "Hamlet", and "Twelfth Night". Twelfth Night is my favorite! To download or listen on line, click here http://librivox.org/shakespearean-dialogues-collection-001-by-wiliam-shakespeare/.

What I'm Recording: Aside from narrating Heidi, I have parts to read in new dramatic recordings of Frankenstein and Emma! These are both excellent book and favorites of mine. In Frankenstein, I will play the protagonist's friend and creature's victim, Henry Clerval. In Emma, I have my first really nasty character, Mrs. Elton!
