Founded by best-selling author Stephen King, the Wavedancer Foundation was inspired by actor and audio book narrator Frank Muller. Following a motorcycle accident in 2001, Muller suffered severe head trauma and eventually died in 2008. Muller was widely praised as one of the most talented narrators of audiobooks, having recorded for authors such as Stephen King, John le Carré, John Grisham and Elmore Leonard. Read more.
