What the Authors Say...
Greg has completed the narration of the first book. I have listened, spell-bound. Yup. Totally engrossed – in a story I know inside out. Except that I don’t, because when Greg reads, it becomes different from my story. He does his own interpretations, adds so much energy to some bits, so much desolation to others. Link to Blog post

It is narrated by Greg Patmore, with Bridget Thomas voicing the female parts. I honestly think that both narrators have done a fantastic job with the book and I couldn’t be happier. Toric’s Dagger has some challenges to narrate, not least the range of characters that you get with epic fantasy titles like this one. Greg’s incredible vocal range really brings the characters to life, and at times it sounds like several actors have been used in the recording. Another unique challenge was the telepathy used between the two central characters, Belwynn and Soren. In print, this is handled by the use of italics – but of course that’s not an option with an audio-book! Greg has used an echo effect on his and Bridget’s voices. It clearly indicates to the listener that the characters are speaking telepathically, without being intrusive. You can listen to the effect yourself in the first few seconds of the sample. I think elements like this, as well as the male and female voices, really make this recording stand out.

“I got together with narrator Greg Patmore, a British actor, who has produced the audiobook version of my memoir. To say I am thrilled with it is an understatement. Greg has nailed it! Love the accent... spoken like a true Scouse. And you have the humour. Fantastic narrator. Greg Patmore has brought my book to life!” Stephen Bentley
