Originally from Springfield, MO, Karen spent the last 40 living years in Washington, DC working as Congressional Committee staff, lobbying for health care issues, and working for a variety of professional and trade associations.

Scott Brick is an actor, writer, and award-winning audiobook narrator who certainly knows how to tell a story! Hailed by Audible in 2012 as their most prolific narrator, Brick has narrated titles such as Jurassic Park, the Jack Reacher series, Alexander Hamilton, the Hunt For Red October, The Passage trilogy, In Cold Blood, the Bourne trilogy, Atlas Shrugged, Helter Skelter, Fahrenheit 451 and the Dune series.
To date, he’s won over 60 Earphones Awards for his narrating skills, as well as five Audie Awards, five SOVAS Awards for voiceover, and a Grammy nomination for the multi-cast recording of The Mark of Zorro (2011). After recording 250 titles in his first five years, AUDIOFILE MAGAZINE named Brick “one of the fastest-rising stars in the audiobook galaxy,” and proclaimed him a Golden Voice, but it was the WALL STREET JOURNAL that sealed the moniker with a front-page article in November, 2004. PUBLISHERS WEEKLY then honored Brick as Narrator of the Year in both 2007 and 2011. That honor was followed up with another feature in the WSJ in 2019 and a recent appearance on the CBS Sunday Morning news show. And the ultimate distinction – being inducted into the Audible Narrator’s Hall of Fame in 2018. Having now recorded over 1100 audiobooks, Brick has no intention of slowing down. He obviously won’t be happy until he’s recorded every book ever published.
