Interview with Lorelei King

With the release of Janet Evanovich's newest audiobook, Smokin' Seventeen, comes an interview with long-time series narrator Lorelai King.  King is beloved by audio fans for her ability to capture the wacky, offbeat characters peopling Evanovich's novels. It sounds like the work isn't as easy as it might first seem--check out her thoughts in Publishers Weekly on preparing to record:

"I read the book through once, making two running lists — character and vocabulary. Preparation and research are crucial – if you have a clear idea of your character voices and know all your pronunciations ahead of time, it saves loads of time and stress in studio … I do very little marking up of the script — I like to be in the moment and see what happens. I might underline a word if the emphasis is not obvious, or I might indicate a break for breath in a long sentence, but not too much else."
