The Architect of Song is now available as an audio book through Audible! 

The narrator, Gemma Dawson, does an amazing job bringing Juliet's voice to life. Here's her bio:

"Gemma Dawson is a classically trained actress born and raised in London, England. Now working in NYC, she is thrilled to bring stories to life as an Audible Studios Narrator. With a range of accents and voices and a love of all genres, Gemma has recorded a wide variety of over 25 titles since beginning her career last Spring. So far, she has relished in everything from the grandeur of Historical Romance to the more relatable struggles of Contemporary Fiction and Nonfiction. Gemma's objective is to breathe life into every character, giving them not just a voice but an emotional life, lifting the story off the page and transporting the listener into another world."

Which leads me to the next point of this post: A while back, I hinted at my literary gothic romance in the blog post at this link. 

Today I'm announcing the title officially via my GoodReads book bio:

"NYT bestselling author, A.G. Howard, brings her darkly magical and visual/visceral storytelling to Victorian England. THE ARCHITECT OF SONG is the first installment in her lush and romantic "Haunted Hearts Legacy" series, a four book gothic saga following the generations of one family as -- haunted by both literal and figurative ghosts -- they search for self-acceptance, love, and happiness.

New Adult: Recommended for ages 17+. Slated to launch August 2016."

Here's the short & sweet description for book one:

A lady imprisoned by deafness, an architect imprisoned by his past, and a ghost imprisoned within the petals of a flower -- intertwine in this love story that transcends life and death.

There's also a pinterest board for those of you who like eye candy as much as me. ;)

Stay tuned... book trailer reveal, cover reveal, and giveaways are coming soon!

Trailer Thursday

First, an announcement: I heard from my editor at Amulet yesterday, and Splintered's release date has been moved up by six months. YAY! This means, instead of coming out in Spring 2013, it will be published Fall of 2012. Which also means I'm about to receive my edits and will be VERY busy VERY soon.

Busy = good. Hee.

Okay, for my first official post for the blog hop, I'd like to share my newest book trailer. The Architect of Song (a gothic/literary romance set in Victorian England with a unique love triangle—sort of “Jane Eyre” meets “A Certain Slant of Light”, but with a deaf heroine).

 

This is the MS about to go out on sub under the masterful guidance of my agent. (Just for the record, I'm every bit as nervous as I was when Splintered made the rounds. Maybe even more, because this is the book of my heart. Eeps.)

If you know of a trailer that's dark, melancholy, creepy, or atmospheric, or if you have one you would like me to consider posting, please leave a link in the comment section.  (I prefer videos that don't exceed 3 minutes.)

Thanks for visiting today, and don't forget: I have a special QT guest for tomorrow's interview. She's a bit of a legend, having gone from the slush piles to a major deal in a matter of weeks. So be sure and stop by to hear her amazing story!
