Hi! I’m Carmen Denise! I have been narrating audiobooks since Feb 2025. I run a ranch down in Texas, and am passionate about partnering with authors to tell their incredible stories. I have an incredible husband and two boys all of whom constantly keep me on my toes so I spend large chunks of my day chasing around kids, dogs, and cows. I was a marketing director for about 10 years and finally decided to pursue my narration dream in the fall of 2024. After MUCH research, trial and error, and support from some amazing authors, I am proud to say that I have 10 audiobooks available, and more on the way! I have truly enjoyed the process of expanding my acting ability and can’t wait to continue that process to see where my skill is in another year! I am a member of PANA, and I’m so thankful for their opportunities to learn and further develop my skill as a narrator.

Originally Tim lived in the Midwest and went to college in Omaha. For 10+ years Tim worked in every aspect of the Construction Industry. Although he was very successful, this industry was not his true calling in life. His career shift found him after trying improv and taking VO classes. Out of all the genres of VO, Audiobooks & E-Learning then became two of Tim's greatest passions. When he's not in the studio talking to himself, you can find Tim and his Wife at the dog park or beach playing fetch with their boys Reggie and Oscar.

About Our Guest



T.J. London is a rebel, liberal, lover, fighter, mohawk rocking Mistress of the Revolution. As a 
storyteller, her goal is to fill in the gaps about missing history, those little places that are so interesting yet sadly forgotten. Her favorite time period to write is, of course, the American Revolutionary War (is there any other time period?). She also enjoys researching the French Revolution, the French and Indian War, and the Russian Revolution. Her passions are traveling, writing, reading, cycling, and f—king up your world with over-the-top audio productions of her books (you’ve been warned). And single-handedly, she is taking on the fashion world to bring back the waistcoat (#waistcoatporn #jointhefight). She’s a native of Metropolitan Detroit (but secretly dreams of being a Londoner) and resides there with her husband, Fred, and her cat, Hamilton, aka Mr. Secretary.

Rock on Rebels!
