Another outstanding narrator! What can I say? I love being able to bring talented people like Terese Plummer to you.
My first experience with audio book narrator Terese Plummer, was with Mordacious by Sarah Lyons Fleming.
If you haven’t experienced Sarah Lyons Fleming, or her ‘Until The End of the World (UTEOTW)‘ series yet, and if you like zombies…. you really need to give these books a try.
I am a ‘Walking Dead’ fan because of the characters and the whole ‘what if the world ended?’ search for answers. And if you are too, then these books will be perfect for you.
Now, I read some of the book reviews for Mordacious, and one of the comments was that this book, the first in ‘The City Series’ books from Sarah took a little longer to get hooked into than the original UTEOTW series.
I haven’t read the actual book, so that may be true when reading the actual pages, but it wasn’t true for me when listening to the audio book version.
Surprisingly enough, it was Mordacious that got me into the whole UTEOTW series (as well as the novella So Long, Lollipops).
So the whole story is that I listened to So Long, Lollipops first and really liked it. But it being a novella I didn’t realize that it was a sub part as it were, of an actual series. I didn’t have much time for research at that time, so I just moved on.
Then, I got Mordacious! And after Mordacious, I just HAD to find out if there was more. And that’s how I found the UTEOTW series, and went through all 3 books in about 1 week. Keep in mind that I have a full time job and am a single parent household, so that’s pretty devoted listening!
Back to the subject of this post though, one of the reasons that I think this story was so compelling to me, was of course the outstanding narration. Mordacious is co-narrated by Terese Plummer and Luke Daniels. I think that this was a really great pairing of talented narrators.
Terese has over 300 audio books to her credit, and Luke has over 250. Both have been nominated and/or won numerous awards including Earphones, and Audie awards. They are young, extremely talented, and prolific narrators.
As many amazing narrators do, Terese has an acting background including guest spots on Law and Order SVU, and The Good Wife. She has worked in regional theatre. She is a commercial voice artist, and a comic voice artist in Ironman Extremis, Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh.
She received Audiofile’s Best Voices of the Year 2015, for her work on Robyn Carr’s, A New Hope.
I mean, seriously, this is what Terese does for a living… and it shows.
Some other award nominated/winning projects are; Robyn Carr’s The Wanderer, Jodi Picoult’s Sing You Home, Jennifer Haigh’s Faith, Wally Lamb’s We Are Water, Carson McCuller’s The Ballad of the Sad Cafe, Peter Cline’s The Junkie Quatrain.
If you haven’t heard Terese Plummer’s narration, and you are looking for someone great, give her a chance to impress you. You can find more info from her website, www.tereseplummer.com.
And as always, from my family to yours, Happy Listening!
