Marni has breathed life into the characters of FIRE GAMES exactly as I imagined them. I forgot to breathe in parts as I proofed the audio. I really felt like I was there, watching every tense moment. Those who love being read to (especially by a voice talent with major acting skills to boot) will not want to miss this!

Marni has been a voiceover artist for many years and was a disc jockey in college; she studied voiceover for animation with the legendary Pat Fraley, so her specialty is character voices and complex accents!
She cut her teeth in narration for the Library of Congress Books for the Blind, as well as performing in over 250 large-cast recordings for Graphic Audio, but her favorites are cozy mysteries, sci-fi thrillers, YA fantasy, and quirky romances.
She now records full-length audiobooks from her broadcast-quality home studio, working around the schedule of her husband, son, dog, fish, and chickens.
