Pamela Jekel,
NY Times bestselling author
Tina Smith has narrated four of my novels, and each one presented complexities which she handled with skill, sensitivity, and a rare determination to capture each character, each scene, and bring each work to life brilliantly. For one novel, she had to learn the Navajo language, for another, she had to depict slave dialect, Seminole speech, and Yankee dialogue, for a third, she had to speak in animal voices, and for the fourth novel, she had to get into the mind of a 75-year-old woman and take her through the last ten years of her life. Each one was brilliant; each narration enhanced the book immeasurably. I would strongly recommend Tina to anyone who wants a professional job delivered on time that makes your book better than even you thought it was.

Tina, thank you for putting so much heart and effort into narrating Atomic Love. You did a fantastic job bringing this novel to life. I couldn’t have found a voice more perfect than yours! I hope we will get to work together again soon-

My kids adored listening to you read my books. Actually, my 7-month old is teething and is fussy. I turned your 15 min review on and my kids came running in to listen and my 7 month old finally calmed down! Thank you so much and thank you for bringing my books to life!! My kids and I absolutely adored the way you narrated the stories. I really wish you could have seen their reactions!!!
