Audiobook Narrator
and voice actor
Phil Gilbert
aka P.G. Hammock
reliable | accurate | grounded
For twenty-five years I traveled the world working backstage on rock concerts, Broadway musicals, and Fortune 500 keynotes.While I sat at home in 2020 with my wife and kids (thanks, COVID), I took my first acting class and fell hard for the art of audiobooks (60 and counting). I traded dark theaters and arenas for a dark recording booth in my attic; the stories that kept me up at night as a kid now keep me enthralled during the day.When I’m not recording, I can be found building a LEGO set or learning a new sport with my kids (or crafting a cocktail for my wife at the end of a busy day).
Phil also records in the romance genre as ‘P.G. Hammock’.

The audio brought this to another level. I liked the story even more in audio. The narrators were fantastic and I really felt more empathy for Teri and more frustration toward Cobra, cause that guy, lol smh. Clueless sometimes.
...
The emotion, suspense and action in the book is all well balanced. Can’t wait for the next in the series!

This book kept me guessing what would happen next, and every guess I made was wrong! A great story that kept me coming [back] any time I had a free moment to listen [...] and Phil brought it to life so clearly I could almost see it as I was listening.

PG Hammock absolutely nails the young and heart eyed Carver, turned into the obsessed and broken hearted man that would turn heaven and earth over for HIS wife. The growl and attention is well deserved and I will be perusing audible for other titles done by him.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The chemistry, the tension, all of it was written so well and the audio version made those moments even more intense and real.
The narrators did an amazing job. Their performance added depth to the characters and made the scenes feel real. The pacing was great, and the narration held my attention the whole way through.
If you’ve already read Edge of Hope, I still highly recommend the audiobook. It’s one of those rare cases where the audio version truly enhances the story.

Phil Gilbert’s performance on Sparrow Man by M. R. Pritchard is nothing short of exquisite—his voice alone makes this a four-star listen. Sparrow Man and Meg’s banter keeps you smiling, and that unforgettable “feather orgasm” line had me chuckling well past midnight.
