Giving Voice to Great Stories
Lianne started her journey in audio storytelling in podcasting; from her home studio Lianne now narrates audiobooks.
Through her work in publishing and events, business consultancy, public speaking and psychiatric nursing, Lianne has learnt first-hand how stories bring us together and shape our lives.
Lianne has an insatiable curiosity and loves giving voice to stories where truth and story combine; she especially enjoys non-fiction (history, biography/memoir and science) and in fiction, historical and literary fiction, cozy mysteries and her guilty pleasure is a wee historical romance (which she will now be narrating under a pseudonym)
Having grown up in the Far East (Hong Kong and Singapore) Lianne was privileged to go to school with over 40 nationalities which gave her a love and understanding of the diversity and wonder of our world. She learned French and Spanish at school and has a deep love of Italy and is learning Italian at present. She also loves her own native Scottish Gaelic which she is gradually getting better at.
Lianne spent over a decade tackling a life-threatening illness; when she came through that she had not only her health back but also a fresh perspective. She then left the corporate world and ventured out on her own, to ignite her creative spark and make sure she got the most out of every day. She has now found her bliss.
When not storytelling and researching, Lianne loves to go rooting around bookshops and antique shops, the social history is what draws her in. She also loves spending quality time with her family, swimming, walking and reading. She has a love for classical music, playing the clarinet and is this year starting to learn to play the piano.
