This bonus episode is a soft, soulful love note to the Black indie authors who write with courage, care, and unshakable heart. From behind the mic, I wanted to say thank you—for trusting narrators like me with your words, your characters, and your worlds.

Whether we’ve worked together or not, this message is for you. You’re building legacy, one story at a time—and we feel it. We see you. We honor you.

Let this love letter be a reminder: your voice matters, and we’re grateful to help carry it.

With love,
Audrey Shaunice
Host of Voices Beyond the Pages

This week on Voices Beyond the Pages, Audrey Shaunice sits down with her sister, best friend, and powerhouse storyteller Author Nastee.

They dive into the creative mind behind the Brothers Unholy series, exploring how she bends time in her storytelling, builds supernatural worlds rooted in Blackness, and redefines representation in paranormal and urban romance.

It’s a raw, real, and inspiring conversation about closing creative chapters, honoring our history through fiction, and why Black voices belong in every genre.

Get ready to feel seen, heard, and inspired.

In this bonus episode of Voices Beyond the Pages, I’m pulling back the curtain and getting real about what it's like to start your journey as an audiobook narrator. From learning how to control my voice and navigate punch and roll… to losing entire sessions, questioning my talent, and figuring out what it means to stand out in this industry—it’s been a wild ride.

If you're just starting out, thinking about diving in, or just need a reminder that you’re not alone, this one’s for you.

Because narration isn’t just about reading—it’s about resilience, growth, and learning to hear your voice in more ways than one.

You’re gonna love it here.
