Thanks to all you winning narrators for stopping by. If you can’t tell by now, we love supporting those who take the time to understand narrating romance. We know we require an extra effort.

Before submitting this column, I cut 1,200 words. There was so much more bragging I wanted to do on our winners. But there is such a thing as too long and didn’t want readers skimming over the winners just to get to the end!

My dear friends at AAR, exceptionally talented fellow narrators,and most especially all you wonderful, passionate and loyal listeners of audiobooks—Thank You, from the bottom of my heart. It’s very humbling to be on this list at all, but to be given an honorary place alongside the great Anna Fields is more than I deserve. I am thrilled and honored to be among the great talent our amazing listeners have singled out for their dedication, hard work and joy in bringing your favorite Authors’ prose to life, and helping you get swept into their worlds.

Congrats to all the Voices, many of whom I know as good friends; some of whom I’ve done really, really hot Love Scenes with; most of whom I really WANT to do love scenes with, one of whom I once appeared with onstage, both of us dressed in tights and codpieces. True story. Big congratulations to the authors on this list, whose work it has been my honor to perform. Karen, I’d not be here if not for you taking my Romance virginity. Love you, Lass…

All the fantastic folks at AAR and Speaking of Audiobooks—thank you for creating a haven of support for the fans, authors and narrators!

My biggest thanks go to the fans. The people out there that listen and love and live for a great book, in whatever format, are what keep us doing what we do. Reading your feedback, seeing how passionate you are, is what makes us find the joy in giving you our best.

Stay Passionate!

I would love to see Judith McNaught’s books like Paradise and Mary Jo Putney’s backlist on audio. Hope the audio powers that be are listening.
