BEHIND THE STORIES

The author & the voices

THE AUTHOR OF EVERY BOOK ON THIS SHELF

Jodi Taylor

One imagination. Six doors into her world.

From the historians of St Mary’s to Frogmorton Farm, every adventure here begins with Jodi. After a career in local government, she began writing in retirement, drawing on a lifelong fascination with history.

The voices behind the audiobooks

Meet the five performers credited alongside Jodi’s occasional author readings. Each introduction below is an editorial starting point, not a claim that every edition uses the same reader.

St Mary’s is not generally a two-person reading. Zara Ramm reads the listed novels. Jodi Taylor and Piers Wehner have selected shorter-work credits. The audio package for When Did You Last See Your Father? credits Jodi and Zara; that does not establish that they perform the story together.

Elizabeth Cage: White Silence credits Kate Scarfe (professionally Katie Scarfe); the later listed books credit Zara Ramm. Collections may have different readers from their separately released stories.
