Knöves Storytelling Collective

Took some time to answer this ask because things were in the works but here we are!

Do you miss Knoves productions and want more from the people behind the scenes? Here is how you can find more and stay up to date with future projects.

Knoves Storytelling productions:

Most of our audience came to us through our first audio drama project, Murray Mysteries. The numbers tell us a lot of MM listeners never branched out into our other productions so this is the first place to go for more!

Morland P.I. is a queer love story full of mystery, adapted from Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey. Kit Morland, true crime podcaster and wannabe heroine, is dying for some excitement. When her neighbours offer to take her on a trip to Bath, site of the famous Chawton Murders, she knows this is her chance to investigate the unsolved mystery. But from boisterous siblings to intriguing women with an eye for fabrics, Kit's new environment is full of distractions.

Something Queer is Happening Here is our non-fiction limited series, hosted by Drew Frankie Victorie (voice of Mina Murray and Jamie Morland and cover artist) and May Toudic (writer/producer of Morland P.I. and Murray Mysteries). Join two LGBTQ+ writers and scholars on a quest to find all the queer subtext in literature and media. Because why bury your gays when you can dig them up?

Now that Knoves is no longer, some of our cast and crew are still creating and collaborating! Here is where you can find some of their work:

Drew Frankie Victorie (voice of Mina Murray and Jamie Morland, host of Something Queer is Happening Here, cover artist) recently designed the cover for This Particular Somewhere, and it is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. You can find them on Instagram @thevictorie.

Megan John (voice of Lucy Westenra and Kit Morland) wants you to know that adulting is hard and she hasn't been doing anything creative, but that's a lie. She has been killing it on her bullet journaling instagram @megs_journals_, and is voicing the upcoming audiobook for This Particular Somewhere.

May Toudic (writer/producer of Murray Mysteries and Morland P.I, host of Something Queer is Happening Here) is still writing and looking for work! Most recently, she started an independent publishing company, Sunflower Press, and published her first novel This Particular Somewhere.

Eager to act after her plans for the future fall apart, Kat leaves her native Norway and ventures across the sea to work as a nanny in a Scottish seaside manor. As she navigates the complexities of caring for the Elphinstone children, Kat finds solace in the warm camaraderie of the housekeeper, Margaret, and the hospitable cook, Tommy. In between balancing her work and online studies, Kat embraces the remote village's unique community, crafting playdates with a fearless American babysitter and matchmaking for Tommy, who grows strangely tongue-tied around the charming local grocer. When her employer's younger brother joins the fold, however, Kat discovers a growing connection of a slightly different nature.

Intertwining themes of belonging and self-discovery, This Particular Somewhere welcomes readers into a vibrant Scottish coastal town, where new friendships and unfamiliar landscapes kindle unforeseen possibilities. From the enchanting manor to the charming village brimming with colorful characters, the novel invites readers to immerse themselves in a world teeming with humour, comfort and deep connections.

Maddie Cooper (Knoves admin assistant) is currently studying media production to start a career in podcasting and sound production. You can find their work on their Linktree.

The Mascots:

Gilbert (voice of The Beast) is sadly no longer with us. After a diagnosis of cardiomyopathy in November 2023, he passed away at home in March 2024. He is dearly missed by his mum May and his sister Marilla.

Marilla (voice of Darcy) went from chaotic little sister to stressed-out older sibling when her mum brought home a new kitten last April to keep her company. Her new sister Sawyer keeps her on her toes, but she loves her really (deep, deep down). Marilla is still a mean lean chirping machine and dedicated biscuit-maker.

Void (bringer of darkness) is still thriving with Drew! He recently went to the vets and got certified polite boy. What an achievement.

We hope you enjoyed this update and will want to check out our new projects! While the company has disbanded, we are still in touch and still monitoring this account, so please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or comments.
