Bio
Xenia calls Belize, the jewel of Central America, home. She is immensely proud of Belizean culture and finds any opportunity to share facts about it. She has lived on the East and West Coast of the US. She currently resides in Georgia where she loves being able to appreciate all four seasons. She loves to travel, run half-marathons and readily confesses that her weaknesses are honey barbecue chicken wings...with fries... and root beer. Books have always been her solace and she can always be found with her nose in between pages. She is not a willing participant of any extreme sports, but definitely plans to launch herself out of a plane and skydive before she's 60! Xenia's family has encouraged her to chase her dream of narration. She keeps connected with them through daily family chat groups that brings everyone closer together despite being scattered across the globe.
Genres
Xenia narrates books across genres to appeal to a large cross section of readers. She has worked with authors for Audible, publishing companies like MacMillan, Penguin Random House, Hachette Book Group, Scribd Audio, AB Book Services and other independent authors/publishers. Most people have a tough time hearing difficult and uncomfortable truths about themselves in person. Xenia reads self-development books for those people, who prefer to handle things on their own time, without embarrassment or painful conversations. Memoirs have the unique ability to allow her and her readers to learn lessons from someone else's real-life experiences. These lessons help readers navigate some of life's tricky situations and find motivation to pursue dreams or organize the basement! Xenia is drawn to fiction novel series with lead characters who grow stronger throughout the book. She enjoys when authors create vivid images and draw you in emotionally so that you are literally holding your breath and skipping meals until the action is done! Romance stories are only read for fun. When She narrates romance novels, her sensuous voice makes the story relatable and even the corniest display of affection will warm your heart. Who doesn’t want to be engrossed in a storyline with a happy ending? She loves stories that uplift women and gives everyone the courage to put their hearts on the line. Non-fiction books may remind you of school and textbooks, but Xenia enjoys being educated while narrating; no matter the subject content! The E-Courses she narrates are also enjoyable and feed her ever present scholarly curiosities. Although, she would never willingly watch horror movies, she finds she can control her reactions and fears when she is narrating them.
