AIRE Now Available in Audiobook format!

AIRE just came out in audiobook, and I couldn't be more thrilled!



Special thanks to Dan and the crew at Midnight Treehouse Productions, LLC and to the lovely Tara Millette, the narrator who brought AIRE to life! Tara's voice is just totally delicious, guys -- she's oh-so-easy-to-listen-to! -- and I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with her and Dan Barton, Midnight Treehouse's amazing sound guru (aka Director of Music and Audio Production), on this production.

Dan sent over these pics of Tara in the recording booth, just to give me a sneak peek at their process.

Special props to both of them for tackling the Italian phrases and fantasy words in AIRE! You proved to be the perfect team to get it right. Dan has a background in classical singing (you know, the kind where you actually sing in Italian at times ;-)), and Tara is a native French speaker, so between the two of them, they pulled off the impossible. At least to my mind!


Thanks so much, guys!! :)

So, Tara's not working on my book here,
but I can just imagine her in a similar pose
while she recorded over ten hours of audio for AIRE.

So, Dan tells me that Tara's not working on my book here, but I can just imagine her in a similar pose while she was recording over ten hours of audio for AIRE. That's not just ten hours of talking, people, because there's all the hours that went into practice and any rerecording.

Someone give that woman a cold glass of water...and a tray of cupcakes! :)

I'll say "you're welcome" in advance to all audiobook lovers out there for not narrating the book myself. (Ha!) No one would have wanted to listen to it, I swear. And I'm good with that. I much prefer listening to Tara!

Bold Resolutions, Involving Danger, a Secret Gift of Visions, and a Legend Come to Life (Cross posted on Scene 13 Blog)

Annalisia:

I don’t know of these resolutions of which you speak, but I do know something about resolve. I have resolved to don the plain cloak of a washerwoman & leave these palace walls. From the moment I enter the city, I’ll no longer be Annalisia, but simply Anna, a girl.

I’ll search for my missing cloth maiden, who has been taken. It should have been me after all, a mistake on the part of that man, il mostro, who boarded our royal vessel, and nearly killed two of my guards. (For who else but a monster would do such a thing?)

And I will use my gift of visions, no matter the danger to myself, and even though my grandmother, the queen, has forbidden it–even though I love her dearly and long for nothing more than to please her.

But I will never, under no circumstances, allow myself to lose my heart to Jovanni Septimus, even if he is a Legend come to life.
