Audiobook Narration
Wolf By Wolf
by Ryan Graudin
Lewis's reading is as compelling as the fast-paced writing and the lyrical imagery. Lewis transitions easily between accents and emotional tones that color and define characters, situations, and time periods.

Cursed
by SJ West
I love the Cursed Trilogy such a fun read! The narrator slipped between voices and and accents so well it seemed effortless. Such a fantastic performance. I can't say read because it really was a performance.

Arrows of the Queen
by Mercedes Lackey
I read this book years ago. Listening to it on audible made it just as magical. The narrator is wonderful and I was drawn into the story again immediately.
— Audible Listener
I love stepping into the coming-of-age journeys of young adult fiction, from the magic-bonded kingdoms of epic fantasy to the high-stakes worlds of alternate history.
Whether I'm losing myself in a war-torn alternate Europe, riding alongside a telepathic Companion or surrendering to supernatural intrigue,
these young heroes finding their courage, their power, and their place in the world are my heroes.
Non-Fiction, WW II History & Historical Fiction Audiobook Narration
Historical narratives require emotional depth and linguistic accuracy.
With many years experience narrating WW2 fiction and non fiction I strive for nuanced performances across complex European contexts—from the heart shattering account of Ravensbrück, the only concentration camp built for women specifically to the inspirational biography of Corrie Ten Boom in The Watchmaker's Daughter, and the award-winning, heart-pounding alternate history of Wolf by Wolf the tone and the truthtelling have to meet the moment.
Ravensbrück
by Sarah Helm
There were times I had to stop reading and walk away, and times I thought I couldn't continue the book at all because it was so painful, but it is an absolute Must Read.
The narration is some of the best I have ever heard. The care and respect with which Christa Lewis reads these 32+ hours makes it so much more than a performance, and yet, from a performance standpoint, hers is impeccable. So many dialects, each perfectly intoned, each made a distinct, individual character- what a memorial to the Ravensbrook women she has helped create here.
I'm very grateful to both author and narrator.

Floating Coast
by Bathsheba Demuth
I cannot think of another recent work that is both path breaking environmental history and breathtaking work of literature. The research is deep and the argument persuasive, this would be an important work if the writing were pedestrian.
But the writing is luminous. So many times I stopped to savor a phrase, so perfect. This is the best work of history I've read in years.
— Audible Listener
The Watchmakers Daughter
by Larry Loftis
This is a well-written, informative, inspirational biography... The narrator, Ms. Christa Lewis, has a lovely voice and does an outstanding job.

Human Journey
Thrive Socially with Adult ADHD by Dr. Shawn Horn
An essential, expert-led guide to navigating the social complexities of the neurodivergent mind. Dr. Shawn Horn provides a transformative roadmap for overcoming shame and building authentic connection, delivered with incisive clarity and professional warmth.
Marlene Dietrich by Maria Riva
A thunderous standing ovation to the narrator who seems to speak without need for pause for 33 hours with arresting, gentle, lulling tones. It's a masterful accomplishment to pour through so many painful and scandalous true-life tales with such delicacy.

Learning from the Germans
by Susan Neiman
Required reading for humans. Deeply moving, necessary and accessible wisdom in the incessant pursuit of a truly humane humanity.
— Beryl Fiever (5-Star Performance)
I believe we are a combination of the stories we tell ourselves and the stories others tell about us- they coalesce into a "narrative " of the human experience.
Whether I am navigating complex ethical landscapes or embodying iconic, intimate life stories or articulating science-backed wisdom, I always try to bridge the gap between academic specificity and heart-centered storytelling.

The Secrets of the Bastide Blanche
by M.L. Longworth
Beautiful writing and narration. Multi-dimensional character development intertwined with the plot and cultural nuances.

The Girl Who Wants
by Amy Vansant
Good narration and the story keeps you interested. I’d recommend! Don’t know what happens til the end.
— Audible Listener
I adore the full spectrum of suspense, from the playful charm of lighthearted cozy mysteries to the dark tension of psychological thrillers.
Whether I’m sneaking into the sun-soaked Provençal mysteries of M.L. Longworth's adventures of Verlaque & Bonnet, racing to keep up with the high-octane action of Amy Vansant’s Shee McQueen series, or trying to keep my wits about me in the gritty, #1 NYT bestselling suspense of Lisa Jackson’s Paranoid, I'm always thrilled to be involved in character-driven storytelling that keeps listeners on the edge of their seats
Paranoid
by Lisa Jackson
A suspenseful thriller... It was difficult to stop listening to this book; it caught my attention and kept me eager to hear more. The narration was excellent, which added to an already gripping mystery of lies and murder. Highly recommend.

Children of the Dead
by Elfried Jelinek
Scrupulously rendered for the first time in English by Gitta Honegger, The Children of the Dead takes listeners on a mind-bending ride through time, space, and memory.
Concocted from experimental theater, splatter film, Gothic literature, philosophy, religion, and more, Jelinek's phantasmagorical masterwork is a fierce confrontation with our fraught legacies in the name of the innocent dead.
The Sinner
by Petra Hammesfahr
The performance was great, and the story has lots of dark twists and turns. Every time I thought I had a grasp on what was going on, there would be a twist. I didn't want to stop listening!
— Stephanie C., Audible Listener
I provide native-level bilingual fluency that serves as a bridge for international thrillers and translated European literature.
From the dark, psychological depths of Austrian literature in the NYT-acclaimed Killing Stella to the Nobel prize winning exposé of Austria's fraught relationship with its WW2 legacy, Children of the Dead by Elfriede Jelinek, translated by Gitta Honegger.
My goal is always the authentic nuance and linguistic accuracy that publishers and listeners have every right to demand.

The Performance: The metaphors and accusations come fast and land hard in this stunning, brilliant feminist noir.

The Dragon Prince
by Melanie Rawn
Christa Lewis’s performance brings alive all the emotions and life force of every scene in this tale. The characters live in the pages—you cry and laugh with them. I recommend this to everyone who loves immersive, world-building epic fantasy.
— Audible Listener
The Divide
by Jeremy Robinson
Another home run. Such great characters! Christa Lewis's performance truly transported me to another time and place. I recommend this to everyone who loves immersive, world-building sci-fi.

Forty Rooms
by Olga Grushin
This is a deep and wonderful story, told by a masterful narrator. Christa Lewis brings all the characters to life and each 'room' is very distinct. This is a journey, and a very emotional story.
— TML Audible Listener
When it's atmospheric and otherworldly, the limitlessness of Speculative Fiction and Magical Realism are my true love.
Whether I am navigating the lyrical, reality-bending prose of Olga Grushin’s Forty Rooms, grounding the high-stakes dystopian tension of Jeremy Robinson, or voicing the complex, multi-generational lineages of Melanie Rawn’s epic fantasy The Dragon Prince —I dig deeply into the emotional truth of stories that defy the ordinary and grow our imagination.
