Author Information

Beverly E. Thorn is a psychologist, neuroscientist, and author of several professional books on managing chronic illness. She retired from university professorship in psychology when her husband became disabled with dementia. Thorn was his primary caregiver until he died of Alzheimer's disease related complications in 2020. She subsequently got certified as an End-of-Life Doula. Her book Before I Lose My Own Mind is more personal than professional-part memoir and part guidebook. It is written for the caregiver-to help them run-and survive-the dementia care gauntlet. Robin Siegerman trained as an actor in NYC and Toronto, Canada. She trained as an audiobook narrator with coaches Sean Pratt, Joel Froomkin, and Dawn Harvey. In 2018 she was nominated for Best International Voiceover at the One Voice Awards in London, England, for the documentary voice-over in HarrysStory.ca. In 2019 she won Best Corporate Training Voice Over Artist by CV Magazine. In 2021 she won an Earphones Award from AudioFile magazine for A Son at the Front, by Edith Wharton, and was again nominated for a One Voice Award for the audiobook Rosedale in Love, by Lev Raphael, a retelling of Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth. Robin grew up in Montreal speaking English and French, so she developed an ear for language and accents at an early age. She enjoys bringing this to her audiobook narration and enhancing the stories. With an additional background as an internationally award-winning interior designer, author of Renovation Bootcamp: Kitchen, and conference speaker, she loves to ""make movies for the ears."" In her spare time, you can find her surrounded by a bevvy of senior rescue dogs, singing with her a capella ensemble in Toronto, or playing board games with friends and family.
