✨🌊WHEN THE TIDES HELD THE MOON audiobook narrator reveal 🌊✨

Behold the dream cast for the RBMedia’s audiobook production of WHEN THE TIDES HELD THE MOON, starring Lee Osorio as “Benny” and Joel de la Fuente as “Río”! I cannot overstate how happy I am with the talents who have been selected for these roles; I’ve adored their performances on other projects and can think of no better voices to match Benny’s charismatic bilingual Brooklynese and Río’s lyrical baritone.

About Joel de la Fuente: If you’ve had the treat of watching Joel on TV, then you already know what a powerful presence he brings to his art. Joel is a New York-based actor whose performances can be enjoyed on two Emmy Award-winning original series — as Chief Inspector Takeshi Kido in Amazon Studio’s “The Man in the High Castle” and in “Hemlock Grove,” as Dr. Johann Pryce on Netflix. His New York theater credits include everything from contemporary stage plays to Shakespeare, and have earned him a multitude of nominations and awards for his incredible performances. Notably, his work in audio narration conveys a musicality that will bring Benny’s beloved Rio to life in ways I will surely be freaking out about for a long time to come!

About Lee Osorio: Lee’s audiobook resume is a testament to his incredible range as a voice talent, capturing a wide breadth of accents, styles, and genres that have earned him multiple Earphone Awards. Like Benny, he wears many hats as an award-winning actor, director, educator, playwright, and audiobook narrator based in Atlanta and New York, but Lee also identifies as a queer Latine adding a layer of shared identity to the performance of Benny’s intimate first-person narration. I’m so grateful to have Lee’s voice ushering listeners directly into Benny’s world as well as bringing life to the colorful found family that surrounds him.

The audiobook will release on April 29 (the same day as the physical and ebook formats), but I encourage you to preorder it at the link below! Preorders tell the industry that our stories matter, and we need that message to get through now more than ever. 💙

Have you guys seen/listened to this yet?!?!? It looks like @recordedbooks is going to be asking the narrator of ACOSF several questions over the next few weeks! Today's was about how she got into Nesta's character.

This woman also narrated the first two books in the From Blood and Ash series and in my opinion nailed Poppy's voice PERFECTLY and gave Hawke a super hot British accent soooo, yeah🤣

FLIGHT PATTERNS Karen White MY RATING ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️▫️ PUBLISHER Recorded Books, Inc. PUBLISHED May 24, 2016 NARRATORS Susan Bennett, Amanda Leigh Cobb, Melissa Hurst A mesmerizing tale about a quest for a teapot that reveals long held family secrets, the importance of forgiveness, and the sins of loving someone to much.

SUMMARY Georgia Chambers lives in the Big Easy and is a foremost expert on Limoges china. An important and insistent client has her returning to the one place she swore she would never return to—her hometown of Apalachicola, Florida. Not much has changed in the thirteen years since she left the Florida gulf coast. She is rattled by seeing her estranged younger sister and her unbalanced mother, but she is grateful to see that her grandfather is still keeping bees in his apiary, where she has many fond memories working by his side.

Seeing her family again has made her realized all that she has missed and that she needs to find a way to heal the rifts that have divided the family. However, finding the courage to confront the mistakes and the secrets of the past is even harder than it seems.

REVIEW One of the many things I loved about this book is the setting, the iconic gulf coast town of Apalachicola, Florida. Apalachicola is only a short drive from my home, and I have spent many afternoons there shopping and eating some of the freshest seafood in the world. It was joyous to have this charming oyster town and its fabulous restaurants featured in FLIGHT PATTERNS.

This multi-layered story has Georgia Chambers confronting her past, while attempting to find a very rare piece of Limoges china that she is sure she saw in her mother’s closet over 20 years ago. The problem is that was twenty years ago and she promised she’d keep it a secret. Neither Georgia’s mother nor her grandfather wants her to find it. They have secrets of their own, and those secrets have driven Georgia’s mother to the edge. As the hunt for the china piece continues, Georgia’s sister’s, Maisy’s hatred for Georgia is evident, and the cause is yet another of the many mysteries contained within the pages of FLIGHT PATTERNS. The many layers of this book is exactly what makes it a fascinating read.

Much of this mesmerizing story centers around bees. Each chapter in FLIGHT PATTERNS starts with a enlightening quote from Georgia’s grandfather’s beekeeping journal. These beekeeping vignettes are a little extra present inside the book, and serve as a poignant lead-in to each chapter. Loved the symbolism found throughout this book—water and renewal; locks and problems; but especially the bees and the character symbolism of determination and will power. The same characteristics that Georgia needs in order to make the first move.

FLIGHT PATTERNS is full of thought-provoking lines about family, sisterhood, forgiveness and secrets. Here are just a few of my favorites:
