Carine Montbertrand is an award-winning narrator of dozens of audiobooks. When she first

specialized in children’s and young adult titles. Since then she has expanded
to fiction for adults and has recorded everything from murder mysteries to
fantasy and inspirational titles. She is adept with dialects and accents,
voicing characters from countries around the world. She also specializes in
English language titles with a French flavor, as she is half French. With her
audiobooks, she has the opportunity to tell wonderful stories while finding
voices for men, women, children, and sometimes ghosts and extraterrestrials.
