 CHRISTOPHER EVAN WELCHWelch is well known for his audiobooks for teens. He was previously nominated for an Audie Award for a title by Neil Gaiman and he's up for another Audie Award this year in the TEENS category for BURN JOURNALS by Brent Runyon.

 THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN Garth Stein Read by Christopher Evan Welch Forget taboos about anthropomorphizing—Enzo the dog is the only one who can tell the story of his beloved race-car driver, Denny Swift. Welch maintains Enzo's commonsense "voice" while offering subtle shadings to the voices of the humans in his life. The effect enables the listener to completely suspend disbelief of a storytelling mutt. Read Review Listen to the Audiopolis SoundReview |
