…Bringing Authors’ Work Alive with a Vocal Performance for Your Listening Pleasure…

Born and raised in California, I have spent the last couple of decades in beautiful Colorado. I guess you could say I started in voice work way back in elementary school. Remember that peculiar kid with goofy voices and weird accents? I’m what they grow up into. I caught the acting bug in high school and could never shake it off. It became obvious that I needed to get into voice acting seriously when I was the only one my kids would request for their bedtime stories.

Over the last decade, I’ve narrated dozens of books. I am honored to work with award-winning authors and podcasts to bring tales to life. I’ve been detectives in the 1950s, billionaire playboys solving mysteries, teenage boys in love, and even a Russian submarine captain. Having decided that wasn’t enough, I started my own podcast in 2019.

I love my time in front of a microphone, conjuring characters and finding their voices. I am thrilled for a new phase of my career and honored to continue breathing life into stories of all shapes and sizes.

WINNER:
Pinnacle Book Achievement
Award, Fall 2019 –
Best Young Adult Fiction

“I loved this book! David Rose is an inspiring but true-to-life hero and a model for young boys as they navigate the twists and turns of early adolescence. Rothman’s writing is powerful and complex, much more so than you’d expect from a typical YA novel. And the story is just plain ol’ fun! Swords, castles, ancient legends, mythology, magic, and centuries-old duels – what more could you want in a YA fantasy novel?” ~ Amira Makansi (5 STARS)

FRACTURE POINT

Dystopian
Crime Thriller

A Point Thriller –
Book 1

An untrained spy and a rebel faction. A mysterious scarlet-haired jazz singer. Dangerous secrets guarded by a devious killer. What could possibly go wrong? Only everything.

US Review of Books gives it 5 STARS: “Mixing science fiction, action, and suspense, this story imagines a future that isn’t quite dystopian. The disparity between the haves and the have-nots, and the prevalence of popular reality television shows makes the setting more like a logical progression of the modern day. … Imaginative and gripping, this book tells a story that blends the familiar and the fantastical.”

Midwest Book Reviews says: “Fracture Point’s exquisitely drawn characters keep readers involved and immersed in the plot, even though there are a lot of them – and a lot of special interests involved. Under another hand the story line could have become confusing; but Altabef takes the time needed to create characters who are believable and whose motivations and actions are compelling against the backdrop of a bigger story, and this approach drives a thriller that proves hard to put down.”

Next Page Reviews says:Shatter Point is an exciting novel of suspense, action, drama and even a little bit of horror…. It’s definitely one of the best novels out there right now.”
