Where The Cuckoos Flock
Project Overview
This is a fully voiced audiobook of my published novel, Where The Cuckoos Flock. Each character will be assigned a voice for the whole book, and I will be narrating all non-dialogue.
This is a murder mystery where our protagonist, a young detective named Joan Britz, must solve the murder of a saint. More plot and character details will be given upon casting.
