Her bestselling cookbook and online app provided her success, respect, and a connection to the cancer-battling influencer she admired the most.

This month we’re talking to an author and publisher/manager about audiobooks and how they approach to audiobooks. We cover how they chose narrators for their books, and how audiobooks affect the writing and management of their business. We also have the long awaited re-introduction of ‘News From Equity’ with Annette Rizzo. C.K. (Caimh) McDonnell is the paranormal pen name of Irish bestselling author Caimh McDonnell. He is a former stand-up comedian and TV writer who now spends all his time writing books as his dogs don’t like it when he leaves the house. When not writing about the adventures of the staff at The Stranger Times , he is the author of the increasingly inaccurately titled ‘ Dublin Trilogy’ series (eight books and counting) and its various spinoffs, all of which have been Amazon bestsellers on both sides of the Atlantic. The Dublin Trilogy has been optioned for TV by Avalon ( Breeders, Taskmaster ) with Chris Addison at the helm. The Stranger Times has been optioned by Playground ( Wolf Hall, The Undeclared War ) who are working on the series with Peacock. The Stranger Times won Best Audio at the 2023 British Fantasy Awards, a fact Caimh constantly endeavours to drop into casual conversation. He lives in Manchester, where The Stranger Times series is set. Elaine Ofori After over two decades of collecting seemingly random skills across publishing and marketing/communications, Elaine is finally putting them to good use at her publishing company McFori Ink as Head of Stuff/Chief Wrangler, where she spends her days mulling over words. She's taken this love of words one step further and has turned them into fully constructed sentences that are slightly more creative than the reports and strategies she's spent most of her career writing. Her debut novel, co-written with her husband, author C.K. McDonnell, will be published in Germany in 2025.

This month we interview 2 veterans of the Voiceover Industry in the UK. Paul Brown and Emma Clarke have over 80 years of experience between them, and they join us to share their wisdom. Emma Clarke is an award-winning voice actor and writer who works across multiple types of performance and media. She can be heard in radio and TV commercials, corporate presentations, toys, games, apps, public transport and almost anything that needs a voice. Her clients include Astra Zeneca, BBC, Bauer Media, Chevrolet, Classic FM, Coca Cola Enterprises, Global Media Group, Google, L'Oréal, KIA, Transport for London, Mercedes-Benz, Microsoft, Nike, Sky, Sony, Tesco, Toyota, Unilever, Virgin. She is best known as one of the Mind The Gap voices on London Underground, and played the part of the Starship Avalon in the Hollywood blockbuster movie 'Passengers' alongside Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt. She is also a PhD student at RNCM where she is researching how her background as a voice actor influences how she composes music. VO has been Paul’s sole source of income for decades, despite which he has a nagging suspicion that he’s been somehow ‘getting away with it’ for 46 years. After all, how can anyone get paid just for reading aloud into a microphone for that long without someone smelling a rat? In that time the world of audio recording has changed out of all recognition, but Paul has remained doggedly the same. He even uses the same microphone. And the same underwear. He doesn’t know what SEO is, can’t maintain a website, is hopeless at selling himself, thinks that computer games are still loaded from audio cassettes and is utterly baffled by the success of podcasts. Let’s find out how he’s still alive.
