Along with acting and writing, HVSF Alum Gabra Zackman has had a parallel career in audiobook narration. Gabra started in the audiobook business over ten years ago (back when they were still known as ‘Books on Tape’). She has recorded over 300 audiobooks to date, — from nail-biting mysteries to riveting historical fiction. We’ve picked some of our favorites, and Gabra’s, to highlight!
