    Castle Talk - Rebecca Anne Nguyen of The 23rd Hero discusses Audie Award Nomination and her process

    On this episode of Castle Talk, Castle Bridge Media intern MacKenzie Cole interviews author Rebecca Anne Nguyen on her book The 23rd Hero. News on The 23rd Hero Rebecca Anne Nguyen’s Audiobook The 23rd Hero Nominated for Prestigious Audie Award Castle Bridge Media is thrilled to announce that Milwaukee-based novelist and playwright Rebecca Anne Nguyen has received an Audie Award® nomination for her groundbreaking audiobook, The 23rd Hero! Published by Castle Bridge Media, this gripping time-travel adventure, in which a woman races to stop climate change before it begins, is a finalist in the highly competitive Narration By The Author category. Nguyen’s debut has placed her among industry icons like Whoopi Goldberg and Salman Rushdie. The Audie Awards®, often referred to as the Oscars of audiobooks, celebrate the very best in the field. Past nominees and winners include luminaries such as Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, and Sam Heughan. In The 23rd Hero, Nguyen delivers an extraordinary performance, voicing over 30 characters with accents ranging from French to Swedish. Speaking about her narration journey, Nguyen shared, “I never intended to narrate this audiobook myself, so I didn’t hold back when writing diverse characters from all corners of the globe. Recreating those voices was a challenge, but one I embraced wholeheartedly.” Nguyen credits New York City dialect coach Erik Singer, known for his work with Austin Butler in Elvis, for helping her bring the characters to life. “Erik is a miracle worker,” Nguyen said. “He helped me navigate some of the toughest dialect challenges, including crafting a French accent from the 16th century before modern French existed. This nomination wouldn’t have been possible without his guidance.” The audiobook was produced at Independent Studios in Milwaukee, WI, with expert sound design by Steve Kultgen. The 2025 Audie Awards® winners will be announced at the Audies Gala in New York City on March 4. Rebecca Anne Nguyen (she/her) is no stranger to acclaim. She won the 2024 Reader’s Choice Award for Best Adult Book (Bronze) for The 23rd Hero, which became a #1 Amazon bestseller.

    Castle Talk: Intern Zeek interview Ty Drago, author of ST. DAMNED

    Tonight, Castle Bridge Media intern Zeek Ortiz interviews Ty Drago, author of the novel ST. DAMNED from Castle Bridge Media.  ABOUT THE BOOK “ST. DAMNED is a hell of a book. It’s a devious collision of raw horror and existential weirdness. Highly recommended!” -–Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of NecroTek and The Dragon in Winter Five years ago, paranormal researcher Dr. Mia Lakatos was the sole survivor of an ill-conceived reality TV investigation of St. Damien’s Lutheran Church in Camden, New Jersey, a bloody encounter that destroyed her reputation and poisoned her life.  Now, out of the blue, the government has asked for her help. A vicious Columbian drug czar will be attending a key underworld summit across the street from the famous haunted church. The FBI is planning a stakeout inside St. Damien’s, and they need Mia along for her expertise. But nothing, absolutely nothing, will convince Mia to re-enter that hellish place, except maybe a cryptic decades-old message that might hold the key to cleansing “St. Damned” and finally freeing the scores of souls who are trapped there.  Suddenly, Mia Lakatos finds herself returning to the most dangerous haunted site on Earth to face down the deranged ghost of an infamous serial killer whose iron will rules over those innocent spirits in his sway. But the road to redemption is paved in blood—including, quite possibly, her own. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/castle-of-horror-podcast--4268760/support.
