Samantha Cook is a bookworm who is infatuated with female protagonists who are powerful, sensual, and intelligent. It was as natural as breathing for me to narrate an audiobook. She can be found touring the museums of Paris, envisioning herself as a Degas dancer, Chateaubriand's Atala, Canova's Psyche, David's Josephine, or Venus (ideally with arms intact) when she's not recording at her LA studio.
