Karen Novack takes on the joint roles of narrator and 40-year-old recently divorced Jessie, whose fresh start begins when she's hired as caretaker of an old house in the Sierra Foothills. Little does Jessie know that the house comes with secrets and strange employees. But Jessie has self-appointed protectors: the aging, ultra-stiff gargoyle/butler, Mr. Tom, portrayed by RJ Bayley, and an 800-year-old lisping vampire/groundskeeper named Edgar, portrayed by Bradley Foster Smith. They are joined by shape-shifter Austin Steel, voiced by Danny Gavigan. Jessie must use her courage, common sense, and growing self-assurance to protect the house and its magic from enemies who will stop at nothing to possess it all. Tongue-in-cheek humor, sound effects, and music add to charm to this full-cast dramatization. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
Magical Midlife Madness [Dramatized Adaptation]: Leveling Up 1
"A woman starting over. A new house with an unexpected twist. A cape wearing butler acting as the world's worst life coach.
""Happily Ever After"" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of twenty years packs up and heads for greener pastures and my son leaves for college, that's exactly what my life becomes.
Do-over.
This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at forty I'm ready to carve my own path.
Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills. I'll be taking care of a centuries old house that called to me when I was a kid. It's just temporary, I tell myself. It'll just be for a while.
That is, until I learn what the house really is, something I never could've imagined.
Thankfully forty isn't too old to start an adventure, because that's exactly what I do. A very dangerous adventure that will change my life forever. I have a chance to start again, and this time, I make the rules.
Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!
Performed by Karen Novack, Danny Gavigan, Kay Elúvian, RJ Bayley, Bradley Foster Smith, Tia Shearer, Marni Penning, David Cui Cui, Cody Roberts, Emlyn McFarland, Troy Allan, Eric Messner, Michael John Casey, Scott McCormick, Ryan Dalusung, Nora Achrati, Tony Nam, Nick J. Russo, Yasmin Tuazon, Richard Rohan, and Rayner Gabriel."
