As the cover reads, "2020 has been a long year. And now we must look with hope to 2021.We hope for a vaccine that can return the world to normal.

Hamilton Spectator Profile: Jens Hansen, Narrator of TRILLIUM

A fantastic profile of the #audiobook narrator, Jens Hansen - (chosen for my third novel, TRILLIUM) - came out today on the front (and full page!) of The Hamilton Spectator's GO section. 

Written by veteran lifestyle & arts columnist, Jeff Mahoney, Jeff really 'gets' the "debonair" character that Jens brings to the pages of TRILLIUM ... 

The article is a wonderful and in-depth coverage of a versatile actor whose first language is, surprisingly, not English. 

 As I explained to Jeff as background for the profile, I initially chose Jens because of his exotic life-and-lived experience from elsewhere on the globe. His cadences, tone and inflections add a rainbow of audio colour to the telling of the tale. So much so, Jeff gushes about his "great Niagara of Narration". -- Fine words indeed! 

So, if in the mood to listen to a distinctive and beguiling voice for 14.5 hours, tune into Jens' "brilliant" rendition of TRILLIUM.  You will be alternatively amused, delighted, intrigued - and seduced. -- Promise! 

TRILLIUM, written by Margaret Lindsay Holton, available on iTUNES -- or Audible. If you prefer to #read TRILLIUM yourself, download the ebook -- and/or pick up the 350+ paperback -- via Amazon.

Full, front page on the GO Section of The Hamilton Spectator! Woohoo!

Woorah! Followed-up by a nice 5-minute interview clip with Jens on 610 AM Radio #Niagara.
