Horizon Music recording artist Mark Ashby has been nominated for a Torgi award by the Canadian National Institute for the Blind for a book he narrated called "Killing Pablo". Mark works for a company called Potomac Talking Book Services, which produces book recordings primarily for the U.S. Library of Congress' National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. And the Library of Congress partners with the CNIB to get these narrated recordings distributed to Canadian libraries. That's how Mark got nominated for the Torgi award, which is akin to a Canadian Grammy award for non-commercially produced talking books.
This is not the first time that Mark's work has been recognized by the recording industry. In 2002 some of the music he contributed to the film Dance of Shadows was considered for use in the television show "Witchblade". But before a definite decision could be made in this regard, the show was not renewed for another season.
