The Art of Being Heard: Bryan Haddock Brings Jim Garraty to Life
Last night, I listened to the first full chapter of Comings and Goings – The Art of Being Seen, narrated by Bryan Haddock. At 8:57 pm, I sent him a message:
“Bryan, this was magnificent. Thank you! You have the green light to go ahead without any changes.”
This morning, he replied:
“Thank you, Alex! I can’t tell you how much I am enjoying embracing your characters. This is a really fun project!”
There’s a quiet joy in that exchange. A moment of creative communion. Bryan isn’t just reading Jim Garraty’s story—he’s inhabiting it. His voice carries the emotional logic of the scene, the dry humor, the vulnerability, the cadence of someone who knows what it means to be seen and unseen.
The audiobook isn’t finished yet. But it’s already alive.
For those who’ve read the book, you know that Comings and Goings isn’t just a story—it’s a ritual of memory, presence, and emotional inheritance. Bryan’s narration honors that. He doesn’t perform Jim; he becomes him. And in doing so, he invites listeners into the lived texture of the Garratyverse—where grief is gentle, intimacy is sacred, and humor is a form of survival.
If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be heard—to have your emotional truth spoken aloud with care and clarity—this audiobook will be for you.
🎧 Comings and Goings – The Art of Being Seen is coming soon to Audible.
Stay tuned. Let Bryan’s voice guide you through the quiet triumphs and tender reckonings of Jim Garraty’s world.
