Tricia Ford
Tricia listens to discover characters and voices that transport her, not to a fantasy world, but to the heart of what it is to be human in this world. Fiction, memoirs, and quirky science can all fit the bill, but what enthralls her most are characters who are perfectly alive even if they happen to be make-believe.
