Bathsheba Spooner: A Revolutionary Murder Conspiracy
Audiobook Coming Spring 2024
Written by Andrew Noone
Narrated by Scott R. McKinley
What possessed a woman from the elite of eighteenth-century New England society to conspire with American and British soldiers to murder her husband at the midpoint of the American Revolution? The story of Bathsheba Spooner has alternately fascinated and baffled residents of Worcester County for centuries. Beyond central Massachusetts, the tale is largely unknown. Many, when first hearing of the scandal, assume it to be the stuff of legend. It was, in fact, the most sensational “true crime” tragedy of the American 1700’s.The episode’s ingredients included a cold, possibly abusive husband, a handsome, directionless teenager, a pair of roughened British prisoners-of-war, and readily available cash set aflame by social and political isolation, wartime uncertainty and social upheaval.

Lennon, The Mobster, & The Lawyer: The Untold Story
Written by Jay Bergen
Narrated by Scott R. McKinley
While John Lennon retreated into private life in 1975, he also fought a major legal battle that flew under the public radar. Mafia-connected Morris Levy, owner of Roulette Records, released Roots, an unauthorized version of a rock ’n’ roll oldies album John had been producing. Levy claimed the former Beatle had verbally agreed to market Roots via TV. The quick release of John Lennon Rock ’n’ Roll, the official album, resulted in two Levy lawsuits against John—and John’s counterclaims against Levy.

5-Star Review from Audible.co.uk
"Intriguing story nicely narrated.
This isn't normally the kind of story that I would choose to read (or listen to). Yet it was interesting because it revealed the kind of commercial pressures that artists, who just want to live in their creative world, are sometimes forced to face and it shows what effect it can have on them. The author Jay Bergen (the actual lawyer in the title) writes a good structured account of the legal processes involved, although at times that (for me) was a little heavy-going.
Scott R, McKinley's narration was clear and well-paced. He didn't try to overshadow the story, but delivered it with calm respect. He has a soft American accent which will be comfortable for British listeners and his impression of John Lennon's voice and accent was spot on. He obviously worked hard getting that right and he deserves full praise for that”.
