In 2013, I started writing and self-publishing my children’s books about the animals of the Chesapeake Bay. This year was very exciting for me as I hired narrator, Cindy Price, to record my books. I hired her in November 2023 and she finished eight of my books in July 2024. It was an amazing experience working with her and she did an awesome job. After Cindy narrated my books, I donated them to the Maryland State Library for the Blind and Print Disabled. Chester the Chipmunk was narrated by a library volunteer. Owen the Oriole was narrated by Christopher M. Allport. They are now available for blind patrons to enjoy!

Hi, I am Cindy Freland and a new member. I have written a ten-book series about the animals of the Chesapeake Bay and other special places in Maryland for children 3-10 years old. The Chesapeake Bay is a wonderful body of water that is 200 miles long and stretches from Norfolk, VA, to Havre de Grace, MD, where people love to fish, swim, boat, and waterski.
