I’ve done many readings of Dodging Satan and felt that I knew how the characters should sound. But hearing Bridget and the other characters performed aloud by Marni Penning made me experience the book in a whole new way,” said author Kathleen Zamboni McCormick. Marni, who has been called “the maven of a thousand voices,” truly makes the book come alive with each character—even God-the-Father—having totally distinct voices. It’s also very clear that Marni gets every single one of the book’s jokes and her rendition will keep readers laughing.
