I am absolutely thrilled to announce that my latest narration "An Unlikely Funeral" by KL Smith is now available on Audible, Amazon and iTunes!
It was a real joy to narrate this book and it is the first in a series of four comedies. Fast paced yet engaging and absolutely hilarious, it is a riot from start to finish!
"The newsreader took a breath and began: – “And here we have the remarkable tale of local man George Pimpton who sadly died last week at the grand old age of 96. It’s only since his passing that locals have realised they had a reclusive celebrity in their midst.
His
story has captured the attention of the nation, and people are
fascinated that such a man had been quietly living down an unassuming
terraced street, keeping himself to himself. All week people have been
coming out in droves to lay flowers outside of his house, and to give
donations to his favourite charity – Guide Dogs For The Blind.”
The
only problem was, this was all an accidental lie. George Pimpton was no
celebrity. He’d never done anything remotely interesting with his life
and had spent the last thirty years of his unremarkable existence laid
in bed watching daytime Tv and picking at his bellybutton fluff.
Upon
his death, his well intentioned – though often misguided – neighbours
simply wanted to jazz up his obituary to make his life sound a little
more interesting, a well meant gesture that quickly got drastically out
of hand due to the perils of social media.
After Paul McCartney mistakes George for someone else and sends a farewell tweet to his “old friend” this celebrity endorsement sets off a chain reaction that cant be reigned back in. It also didn’t take long for other celebrities to start coming out of the woodwork with half-remembered stories about George. After all, anyone who was anyone, had a story to tell about old George… and now the world was watching, and waiting to hear just what would be in that eulogy..."
From a narrator's perspective, this book was an absolute treat to read! The narrative flows beautifully, the characters are engaging and it is a real page-turner!
