BIO

Zura has 40 years experience on stage and 20 in VO. With over 200 titles she is sought after for her comic timing, snark, broad character range, and because she is damn pleasant to work with. She resides with her husband and two teenagers in the PNW, Portland OR! A place where fairies dwell! She and the kids are queer, her husband feels very left out.

 

Zuras favorite genres to narrate are Horror, LitRPG, anything with humor, and Fantasy/ SciFi. She also loves a LitFic with loads of completely off the wall characters, be that because they are complex or some level of nuts.

 

Zura and her daughter are both neurodivergent. And Zura is Dyslesixc. The irony of her chosen profession is one of her favorite jokes. She is an accomplished artist and illustrator, loves tattoos, rides a motorcycle, and thrives on rainy days.

 

And on top of all that, she would like to narrate your book. Yes, you.
