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."

I’ll have a giveaway for a few copies soon!

The Preciousssss - part one...

I've received my first author copy of The Architect of Song, and behold the beauty! 

I love all my story babies when they're born into the world as real books, but this one has a special place in my heart because every design aspect--the cover, the interior, the font style--was personally overseen (and in the case of the chapter headings, made) by me. And I learned some things, too! Like next time, I'm making the font .5 smaller, and I'm going to find some pretty end papers to complete the interior art. It's been a fun learning experience, and I look forward to getting started on edits and designs for book 2 of this series sometime in the next few months. :)

If you haven't heard the story behind this book (how the premise idea came to me, my journey to find it a publishing home, and why I ultimately chose to indie-pub), you can go check out the FAQ here on my new adult website.

Also, stay tuned because tomorrow I'm sharing pictures of my RoseBlood arcs (they're finally here!) in the second part of this post: The Preciousssss - part two. I'll also have some insider sneak peeks into the 2017 hard cover's interior design and ink color. 

Hope to see you then!

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!
