Justin is an Earphones Award-winning, noir-themed audiobook narrator with a penchant for comedy and dark thoughts. With over 40 of his 75 books done for Tantor and Highbridge, he’s worked with Hachette, JMM, PRH, Deyan, and Blackstone among others. His work has been called “incredible,” “required listening,” and “mesmerizing (under his pseudo, Ryan Stone)” by Audiofile Magazine.

Armed with an English degree, a burning love for the scent of libraries and old books, classical theater training, and an obstinate defense of the Oxford comma, Justin has spent the last few decades uncovering the essence of story. This diligence has instilled him with a knack for spinning yarns.

In fiction, he loves Suspense/Thriller/Mystery, Literary Fiction, Romance, Horror, Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Westerns. In non-fiction, give him a good True Crime, Humor, Biography, or American or World War History and he’ll be in heaven. (But he’s willing to take on just about any genre, because he loves books as a general rule.)

He lives in sunny Florida with his loving family, but longs for a haunted mansion somewhere dreary and destitute.

Justin’s spirit animal is Humphrey Bogart
