About the Author:

A New York Times Notable author, Michael White has written a number of novels, including A Brother's Blood, The Blind Side of the Heart, A Dream of Wolves, and The Garden of Martyrs, as well as a collection of short stories, Marked Men. He teaches fiction writing and literature courses at Fairfield University and is on the faculty of Stonecoast, the University of Southern Maine's low-residency MFA program. He lives in Connecticut. William Dufris began his audio career doing radio plays, audiobooks, film/animation dubbing, and language tapes in London, where he lived for thirteen years. While there, he had the honor of sharing the microphone in a number of BBC Radio plays with Kathleen Turner, Sharon Gless, Stockard Channing, and Helena Bonham-Carter. These experiences led him to cofound two audio production companies: The Story Circle Ltd. and Mind's Eye Productions. He has also acted on stage and television in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. William is the original voice of Bob (and Farmer Pickles/Mr. Beasley/Mr. Sabatini) in the popular children's show Bob the Builder for the United States and Canada (Series 1–9). He produces, directs, acts and engineers for his audio theatre company, Rocky Coast Radio Theatre. He has been nominated nine times as a finalist for the APA's prestigious Audie Award and has garnered twenty-one Earphones Awards from AudioFile magazine, which also named him one of the Best Voices at the End of the Century, as well as one of the Best Voices of the Year in 2008 and 2009.

From AudioFile:

At the age of 17, Augustus Cain left his fathers modest plantation, looking for adventure and purpose in the Mexican-American War. Years later, hes lost his idealism and the full use of his legs and gained an addiction to laudanum and gambling. He supports his addictions by using his uncanny tracking skills to hunt down runaway slaves and returning them to their masters. William Dufris narrates this sweeping story, giving even the most clichd characters unique voices. He particularly embodies Cains self-loathing. His last trip north leads him on a journey of self-discovery and redemption in the waning years of slavery, a practice that has cast a shadow on so much of our history.
