Desert Hawking II by Harry McElroy

Available Now

Dr. Chance Ramsey has built a comfortable life of order, skill, and quiet detachment-until a cryptic letter from his elderly godfather, Manny Montoya, draws him back to Hermosa, the small New Mexico mountain town he has left behind. There, long-buried family secrets begin to surface: the truth about his father, his heritage, and events that have shaped him in ways he never understood.

An audiobook version of my original, live storytelling performance of The Odyssey — performed at the gates of ancient Troy in Hisarlik, Turkey. The first episode, "The Golden Apple," is available below.

The Golden Apple
Book cover titled "The Wanderings of Odysseus: A Storyteller's Version" by Richard J. Silberg, with a stormy sea background, a boat in rough waters, a large eye, and various sea creatures and mythological elements.

Story has run through my life and work.

As a SAG-AFTRA narrator and actor, performance storyteller, and educator, I have spent decades shaping stories for audiences: from ancient epics and folktales to personal narratives, classical and contemporary drama, historical material, and documentary films. A Fulbright recipient, U.S. Department of State English Language Specialist, World War I Museum Fellow, public middle school teacher, and river rafting guide, I have worked across continents in classrooms, museums, theaters, and outdoor settings. I have developed programs that use storytelling to illuminate history and the natural world, making complex subjects vivid and human.

As an audiobook narrator, I bring maturity, authority, and compassion to a range of nonfiction. I’m particularly drawn to history and the sciences, as well as biographies and memoirs: books that trace the forces that shape cultures and landscapes, illuminate discoveries, or bring remarkable lives vividly into focus.

In fiction, I enjoy voicing characters with contradictions, vulnerability, and, when the story calls for it, a darker edge. I’m drawn to stories across genres with descriptive and interior writing that brings a fictional world to life. In the booth, in support of any material, I return to a simple storytelling principle I learned years ago: if you see it, they’ll see it.
