Performing THE KNOWING by @tanyaeby.bsky.social was a deep dive into unraveling and I LOVED it! Apparently the The Society of Voice Arts & Sciences judges did too, as I won for OUTSTANDING AUDIOBOOK NARRATION - MYSTERY!!! (This serves as further proof that indie authors are AMAZING 🀩!)

Welcome to episode 716. We have three tales, about an ominous voice calling from the woods (read by @michelle-kane.bsky.social), a dangerous bargain to break a curse (read by @sarasounds.bsky.social), and a descent into madness at the hands of a monstrous clock.
