Did you ever have to sit on a piece of news that was SO COOL and you wanted to tell everybody, but couldn’t? I knew that the METAtropolis: Cascadia project was working on an all Star Trek cast for the narrators but couldn’t say anything while they got them lined up.
And then! Then this interview with Kate Mulgrew popped up in my google alert. She says, “I just did one and I loved it. It was about a … it was about a vineyard.” Yes. That’s right. Kate Mulgrew — Captain Janeway from Voyager — narrated “Water to Wine” and she said she loved it.
I spent a fair bit bouncing around because even if I weren’t a fan, she’s PERFECT for the story I wrote.
But I had to hold my squee down because Audible, understandably, wanted to announce all the narrators at once. So, here, let me show you the awesome narrator list.
In order of appearance.

METAtropolis: Cascadia goes on sale Nov. 16… Not that I’m counting the days or anything.
How cool is that? You also got the highest ranking officer in the mix… woo hoo! Not that anybody is comparing, of course.
Ha! I am so pulling rank on the other writers.
I didn’t think I could get any more excited about this project. Once again, I have been proven wrong.
*bounces happily with you* Kate is AWESOME!
I have the audio for METAtropolis, the Dawn of Uncivilization. It had a good gathering of new BSG voice talent and I thought that was cool. This though, this makes me jealous. Congratulations!
wwill this audio book be available in the U.K.?
Holy crap that’s cool!
That’s just AWESOME! I’ve recently started listing to METAtropolis from Brilliance Audio. I’m glad you were able to be a part of the second METAtropolis project. Now I’m eager to listen to this one too!
