MEET THE AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR
HEY THERE, I'M ANDY!
I'm a SAG-AFTRA, Award-Winning Audiobook Narrator based in Kansas City. In Fiction, I enjoy Young Adult (YA), Sweet Romance, Literary Fiction, and Mystery; in addition to Sci-Fi/Fantasy (where I have a chance to bring unique character voices to life). In Non-Fiction, I have a real affinity for Self-Help and Inspirational works (due to my background as a mental health therapist) and True Crime works (due to my background working in the criminal justice system).
​
I have a background in competitive monologue performance, improv, and vocal performance (contralto-alto range singer). In addition to working as an emcee, public speaker, and morning show host. I've also coached with: PJ Ochlan, Sean Pratt, Shannon Parks, Tanya Eby, Karen White, Christina Rooney, Elise Arsenault, Andi Arndt, and more! When I'm not telling stories in the studio, you'll find me with a cup of coffee in hand while I write books, bake, work as an herbalist, complete jigsaw puzzles, crochet, collect stamps, and spend time with my pharmacist hubby, kiddo, fur babies, and plants.
Hispano by blood, Midwestern by upbringing, I have a unique cultural heritage that brings the perspective of "Ni de aquí, ni de allá". To learn more about my Hispano heritage, click on the link to watch my interview with historian Dr. John Nieto-Phillips. I am also a member of the Disability community-- living with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Epilepsy, Ehlers-Danlos, Hemiplegic Migraines, Factor V Leiden, Atrial Flutter, Raynaud's, and many other autoimmune disorders. #DisabledStillAble. I work hard to share my story, create awareness, and inspire others to do the same. My desire to create equity for those of us who are marginalized or disadvantaged, has led me to serve on the APA's DEI Committee and as a Mentor for the APA DEI Mentorship Program.

ANDY GARCIA - RUSE
"Great taste of what is to come!"
Andy Garcia-Ruse is Tinsley and she is fantastic! New to me, I was excited to hear a new adult voice that is realistic in its emotional pull, drawing me in and keeping me engaged. She easily transitions between characters with distinguishing voices and the performance is amazing!
"Unbelievably engrossing tale!"
This story was FLAWLESSLY narrated by Andy Garcia-Ruse. She does a PHENOMENAL job performing each character to perfection! Her haunting voice only upped the ante on this beautifully wrought tale!!! Can’t wait for the next in the series!!!
"Loved this story!"
The narrator had the perfect voice for the story and combined with the author's writing style, I was immediately cast into the fantasy world, journeying alongside Clara, and her bitter step-sister, Griselda.
“Never have I been so glued to an audiobook!”
Andy Garcia-Ruse was phenomenal as the narrator. She invoked all the emotion the author poured into this story. I cannot wait to dive into the remainder of the books in the series.
