About Christian

Who knew that my knowledge of scientific jargon and forensic terminology would come in handy for audiobook narration one day? Originally born in Maryland, I now live in the beautiful central Virginia mountains. My academic background is in biology with further graduate study of forensic DNA analysis. Leaving the lab life behind to work in the beer and agriculture business, I utilized my passions for both science and delicious alcohol. Though tasting beer for a living was enjoyable, I still yearned to flex my creative muscles more. Making the leap into audiobook narration was the catalyst to fulfilling my true artistic passion: bringing engaging stories and characters to life for others. With an enthusiasm for taking on multiple genres, unique vocal variation, and a youthful sound, I can’t wait to energize the next great story!

Brutal Heir

Court University, Book 1

Never trust a campus god.

Knight Reed is a devil heir with a chip on his shoulder. The arrogant a-hole I love to hate.

His name may be Knight, but that armor is black as coal. He’s a beautiful god with a wicked heart. I know because my mom used to work for his family. An act of brutal violence in the woods and he gets my mom fired, ultimately leaving us homeless. That was the last time I saw him face-to-face.

At least, until recently.

He’s frat boy royalty at my new university, a campus god amongst the rich and elite. There’s little interest in a freshman like me.

But then I cross him, putting an end to me being invisible here in his world.

At a party, I see something I shouldn’t have seen. Now, suddenly, the campus god has me tackled on a bed with his hand around my throat. He tells me to forget what I witnessed. Do that or the end result will be bad for me. He’s hell-bent on crushing my little dove wings, and all I see is that cruel boy from the woods that day.

When it comes to Knight, I can’t seem to stay out of his way or keep my trap shut around him, no matter how hard I try. He tells me my little mouth will get me in trouble, but I think he’s wrong.

I’m not afraid what will happen if I spill his secrets. What terrifies me is how badly I want to see what might be beyond all that coal-black armor.... It’s possible that, to some small measure, I’m tempted to give in to the only devil I’ve ever known.

The dark knight himself.

Sophie

A New Carnegie Android Romance

She's an android under my care. My secretary. I shouldn't feel this way.

Nicholas Kane doesn't have time for romance. Running his own high-profile company based in London means most women are only interested in his bank account. Skipping the heartache entirely? That's easy.

When a friend asks him to care for a rescued android, Nick can't refuse. Sweet, curious Sophie deserves kindness and peace, something he's certain he can provide.

It should be simple. Except Sophie is everything he's ever wanted in a woman, and more.

Why can't he see how he affects me?

Sophie looks forward to a new life in London, sentient and free from restraint. Playing secretary to a wickedly handsome businessman has its benefits. Nick is clever, compassionate, and more than fair to everyone he employs.

Caring for him isn't enough. As she learns to embrace her womanhood, Sophie can't help but desire more.

But danger threatens from the shadows. A new terror rises, targeting innocent people and androids alike. When Sophie becomes a target, nowhere is safe.

Given a heart-shattering choice, can Sophie save the man she loves from the unimaginable?

"You did a brilliant job — you brought these chapters, and the larger story of Atlantis, to life in every way. Your narrator’s voice is marvelous, engaging and compelling, with a great sense of pace and drama. And your character voices are wonderful — including the female voices."
