Ivy Tara Blair (Audio Performance)
Ivy Tara Blair has a low contralto, slightly husky voice, and a lifetime background of theater and music. Ivy performs both “straight narration” and full audio soundscapes, whatever the text calls for. — Visit Ivy’s site here. Find Ivy’s Youtube channel here.
When we went looking for someone to bring Clare, from Not My Ruckus, to life in audio form, we knew it was going to be a challenge. Clare is an optimistic character, but never ventures into being chipper.
Ivy’s ability to bring Clare to life at both the high and low points made for an easy choice of narrator. We’re excited for everyone who has yet to hear it for the first time.
Faye Constant (Cover Art)

We met Faye through a twitter contest they were holding for the creation of a Chibi character. After working with Faye to create the Chibi character we became familiar with their artistic talent, kindness, and professionalism. We reached out to them when we needed some character creations, and this blossomed onto us signing Faye to do a book cover and numerous artist projects.
