Welcome to Season 6 Episode 1 of the Audiobook Lovin' Podcast and we're officially kicks off the new season with guest narrator Anne Flosnik! Her journey into the audiobook industry is fascinating and she was a delight to chat with!
British born of Southern Irish heritage, Anne Flosnik has narrated over 600 audiobooks and has garnered many industry awards and distinctions including 5 Audie Nominations in several categories, multiple Earphones Awards, an ALA Award, and a Listen- Alike Award. Anne has a nursing and midwifery background and traveled widely as a flight attendant. Her broad life experience serves to give authenticity to her work. Accents from around the world are her forte, examples of which are showcased in her award-winning books. More recently she is the founder and Host of the Narrator Uplift Club on Clubhouse, where she and her guests discuss topics of interest to audiobook narrators, authors, and audiobook
Andrew Joseph Perez (aka Julio Maxwell) transitioned from making a living performing live to narrating audiobooks in 2020 and hasn't looked back. Since then, he's narrated and released 85+ titles in genres ranging from hardcore erotica to hardcore economics.
You can hear him in video games and shows like Dynasty Warriors 9, Dragon Pilot, Gundam SEED Destiny and others, and pre-pandemic you may have caught him on stages anywhere from LA to Memphis or even Bahrain.
Perez is and old school gamer (his original X-Box 360 has never touched the internet and still works) and has more hobbies and side hustles than hairs on his head. Carving walking sticks, braiding nylon bullwhips, photography, and illustration are just a few.
In November each year you'll catch him growing a moustache in support of The Movember Foundation, raising money to fight Prostate Cancer, Testicular Cancer, and suicide worldwide; and year-round you'll find him advocating for his brother and the disability community at large.

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.
Adam Gold, represented by ACM Talent, is a stuntman-turned-actor who dove headfirst into voiceover around 2018. With a passion for performance and character craft, his skills, perseverance, and dedicated team--plus no small amount of good fortune--have helped him find a successful and fulfilling career as a voice actor, working with many of the most prolific clients and brands across the breadth of the industry. His love of bringing tales and characters to life is exemplified in his audiobooks, working with some of today's most talented authors and narrators, and lending his voice and his heart to over 200 stories and counting.
