About

I am a multiple Earphone award winning British audiobook narrator on over 490 titles. Don’t tell anyone but I also narrate under the pseudonym Fleur Strange, who has her own Earphones award. Over the past 10 years I have been lucky enough to work with many of the big producers and publishers in the UK and US on titles as wide ranging as Alison Weir’s “Queens in the Age of Chivalry “to Sarah Vaughan’s “Anatomy of a Scandal". My favourite genre is historical fiction, so much so that I am working on publishing my own historical novel based on the England's first woman barrister.
