About the narrators

Her love died on a battlefield. He carries a torch for a woman he’s never met. Can the tragic death of a soldier entwine the souls of two strangers?

Colorado, 1920. Josephine Barnes wrote every day to her beloved fiancé battling in the trenches of the Great War. Devastated when he’s killed in action, she vows never to marry and buries her grief in the construction of the town’s first library. But she’s left breathless when she receives a request from a gracious gentleman to visit and return the letters containing her declarations of desire.

Philip Baker survived the war but returned home burdened with a distressing secret. Though he knows it’s wrong, he can’t stop reading through the beautiful sentiments left among his slain comrade’s possessions. Plagued by guilt, he’s unable to resist connecting with the extraordinary woman who captured his heart with her words.

When Josephine invites Philip to join her gregarious family for the holidays, she’s torn by her loyalty to a ghost and her growing feelings for the gallant man. And as Philip prepares to risk everything by telling her the truth about her dead fiancé, he fears he could crush Josephine’s blossoming happiness forever.

Will they break free from their painful pasts to embrace a passion meant to be?

The Spinster is the second book in the heartwarming Emerson Pass historical romance series. If you like staunch heroines, emotional backdrops, and sweeping family sagas, then you’ll adore Tess Thompson’s wholesome tale.

I grew up in Traverse City, Michigan, went to college in Ann Arbor (Go Blue!), and lived in Los Angeles for just long enough to forever hate the winters in Chicago. I love Star Trek and always order the Crispy Pad Thai with chicken from Cozy Noodles 'N Rice on Sheffield! I’m an award-winning audiobook narrator and am working with some great companies like Tantor Audio, PRH, Brilliance Publishing, Simon & Schuster Audio, Harper Audio, and more! You can check out on my Narration page for all things audiobook. I also co-founded StarKid Productions: a weird live-theater/YouTube production company. It all started with A Very Potter Musical, a Harry Potter parody musical that kicked off an incredible adventure for my friends and me. 15 years later, and we've created 15 original musicals, 3 national concert tours, 2 sketch shows at the Second City, and performed at countless festivals, conventions, and events around the world! Most recently I’ve been hosting REACH: A Space Podcast for Kids with my wife, Meredith Stepien!
