About William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare (1564–1616), English poet and dramatist of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known author in all of English literature and often considered the greatest. He was an active member of a theater company for at least twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. Plays were not prized as literature at the time and Shakespeare was not widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues today.

About P. J. Morgan
A curious mix of fright-night chiller and Edwardian romp, P. J. Morgan is equally at home
narrating dark thrillers and lighthearted romantic escapades. They live with their two
horses and assorted house pets in Rural Lite (TM) Oregon, alternately enjoying the
solitude and craving the connection of story. Narrating keeps them sane in the
darkness.
As a nonbinary queer storyteller, P. J. certainly knows the value of subtext and how to
read between the lines for deeper meaning. The quest for meaningful representation
has consumed them for the better part of three decades.
P. J. has narrated over 150 titles to date for Penguin Random House, Hachette,
Brilliance Audio, Audible Studios, BeeAudio, Pink Flamingo Productions, Findaway
Voices, Spoken Realms, Audibly Addicted, Read Me Romance, and many independent
authors. They were nominated for a Sultry Listeners Award in 2023 in the contemporary
romance category. They have a background in theater, musical ensemble, and opera;
several TV and film credits; and a degree in linguistics with emphases on phonetics
and the French language.
When not in the booth acting as a spiritual medium for the characters that possess
them, P. J. spends as much time as possible outside. When the weather renders that
unpleasant, they can often be found obsessively rewatching favorite shows (especially
Our Flag Means Death, Severance, Killing Eve, and Hannibal), researching their Welsh and Irish heritage, learning to speak Thai, starting new craft projects, or world-building within their sci-fi trilogy WIP.
