I listened to countless business audiobooks before I decided to try a fiction title – The Dark Tower, Book I: The Gunslinger by Stephen King seemed like a good, short place to start. Since I had a commute of about 45 minutes (both ways) he wanted me to listen to them as well. His big thing was “growing his business” and he loved audiobooks that were related to just that. So he combined his love for automobiles and voiceover prowess, and began an ad company for local car dealerships. When his son was born, he wanted to eliminate traveling into NYC so he could be around him as much as possible. My last job before becoming a full-time narrator, was as Senior Producer and Voiceover for a company owned by a wonderful guy named Mark Kaplowe who was the voice of HBO, Butterfinger, Zest, and other big businesses in the 90s. How did you wind up narrating audiobooks? Was it always your goal or was it something you stumbled into by chance? When Frank started doing character voices and acting and just all-around engaging me as a listener, I knew that with my background it’s what I’m supposed to do. I always thought a narrator just “read” the book. When I heard Frank Muller for the first time (The Dark Tower, Book II: The Drawing of the Three).
When did you know you wanted to be an audiobook narrator? Good springboard for the rest of the series. The interactions between the UN Expeditionary Force and the ancient Artificial Intelligence, “Skippy”, is hilarious. I didn’t know how funny this until I got into it. Bray delivers, of course, adding another level of entertainment. The sheer depth of each chapter is remarkable and almost seems like a story in themselves.

In this case, the planet Paradise with the Ruhar and the Kristang alien species. We shouldn’t even be fighting the Ruhar they aren’t our enemy. So, I went from fighting with the US Army in Nigeria to fighting in space. The UN Expeditionary Force hitched a ride on Kristang ships to fight the Ruhar wherever our new allies thought we could be useful.
When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved. Over the horizon came ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There went the good old days, when humans got killed only by each other. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the Native Americans in 1492. We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn’t win.
