Hi Sci-fiers!
I thought I’d emerge from the Writing Cave to introduce you to your narrators for The Oceanstone Initiative series. Both of these narrators are super talented, and bring a wealth of theatrical presence in their work which readers love. I am very thankful to have had the chance to work with these marvelous narrators. Enjoy, and be sure to listen to a bonus clip of Matt singing below!
Steve Campbell, Astraeus
Steve Campbell is an award-winning, Audible Approved narrator of over forty-three published audiobooks. He’s received countless accolades and praise for his work, and he’s produced audiobooks with Harlequin and Aethon Books, to name a few.
From his website: “My first priority as a voice-over artist is to convey your thoughts and ideas in an entertaining and insightful manner; not distracting from your message, but enhancing your words. It is my personal goal to help your audience engage with the text in an immersive and memorable way.
As a techie with a passion for performance and a love of the written word, the voice-over industry called to me. I am now fortunate enough to be living my dream of audiobook narration from my home studio, in Calgary, AB, Canada.”

I am very grateful to have had the chance to work with him on Retaliation. He’s a true talent, and he brings an arsenal of characterization, fun, and uniqueness in his work which I can’t wait for you all to hear.
