Chasing Harmony Playlist, Trailer, and Publication

Leave a comment

Chasing Harmony, my YA novel about a musical prodigy, is now out in paperback! Here I am with my box of author copies.

My publisher, Read Furiously, did a wonderful job putting the book together, including little music-related details in the design. They are also donating a portion of proceeds to literacy organizations.

It was a pleasant and delightful shock to open a book and read lines I’ve pored over on screen for years, available in a new context for readers to enjoy.

My book has a Spotify playlist! If you want to listen to many of the songs mentioned in Chasing Harmony, from the characters’ classical performance pieces to 90s tunes they hear on the radio, it’s all here (sadly, the imaginary songs from imaginary bands couldn’t be included).

There’s also a book trailer where I talk about the inspiration behind the title. You can check it out below.

Chasing Harmony is available wherever books are sold. Here are some up-to-date purchase links:

In less happy news, Dream Signs’ publisher is no longer in business and the book is currently out of stock. I am waiting on the files and hope to republish it down the line.

As with Anna’s story in Chasing Harmony, writing and publishing is full of successes and failures, and one often goes along with the other. Anna discovers that it’s one thing to love an art form, but the real challenge comes from being human and living your life.

Here’s to life! And here’s to new books!
