She’s known as the voice of Ryoko the space pirate in the anime classic, Tenchi Muyo! Burchard narrated her novel, Camelot & Vine. A failing Hollywood actress approaches her 40th birthday in a panic when a lightning strike and a horse that might be magical send her through a gap in time to the age of King Arthur. She goes from prisoner to the king’s confidante, earning the enmity of powerful men. Caught in a love triangle and secretly attracted to the king, she’ll need more than a magic horse to get back home. Burchard’s comic essays, compiled in Act As If: Stumbling Through Hollywood With Headshot in Hand, are based on her experiences as a journeyman actor in Hollywood. Coming in audio in 2023, narrated by the author. https://www.petreaburchard.com/.
