Audiobook Production for the Empress Irini Series is Underway!

Janet McGiffin, author of the Empress Irini series has been working hard from the studio in Athens to produce the audio-versions of her books. Here are some behind the scenes glimpses of the process.

Janet Mcgiffin, author of the Empress Irini Series (Betrothal and Betrayal, Poison is a Woman's Weapon, Seizing Power & The Price of Eyes) has recently been spending time in Athens to record the audio-versions of her books. The Empress Irini series–a four-book tale of survival, ambition, and power set in the intrigue-filled byways of Constantinople in the Byzantine Empire.

The books will be narrated by Melisanthi Mauvidou, who will be voicing Thekla, the protagonist of the series. Chosen from 13 amazing Greek actresses, Melisanthi's authentic voice embodies Thekla's strong spirit beautifully. Here is a short video to introduce our readers to Melisanthi:

The team have been hard at work in the Athens studio to bring the incredible story of Thekla and Empress Irini to life.
