ABOUT THE NARRATOR

MONIQUA PLANTE is an award-winning audiobook narrator and actor with training from the American Conservatory Theater and degrees in Literature and Acting. Her decades of on-camera and theatrical experience bring depth and vulnerability to her narration, conjuring captivating worlds—from magical to mystery, epic love to dark and twisty, and every titillating moment in between.

Moniqua and her pseudonym, Kingsley Rose, has voiced 150+ audiobooks for major publishers including Penguin Random House Audio, Harper Audio, Macmillan Audio, Simon & Schuster, Blackstone, Tantor Media, Podium Entertainment, Brilliance Audio, Audible Studios, and more. She has earned recognition as a SOVAS nominee, Narrator of Distinction finalist, and Sultry Listener Award winner, with three appearances on Audible’s Best of Lists.

Known for her sultry, strong, and playful voice that carries an underlying vulnerability, she can sweep you into an action-packed adventure or pull you deep into an epic romance. Her low tones can conjure magical covens and cool, calculating killers with equal ease. She’s drawn to rebellious characters with a lot of snark and smarts—the ones who guard their soft underbelly closely, and only reveal it to those who’ve truly earned it. Her catalog spans Horror, Thriller, and Literary Fiction to Romance, Romantasy, and Fantasy and more.

Born and raised in Northern California, with detours through the Colorado Rockies and Madrid, Spain (where she soaked in her Spanish roots!), Moniqua is a little bit hippie, a little bit rock ‘n’ roll—with a love of music, fashion, food, and film. An avid snowboarder, hiker, and yogi, she is also a Certified Health and Life Coach.
