first look at the garden cast!
hello from my couch where i am spending my days working on the final stages for IN A GARDEN BURNING GOLD and writing its sequel!
i can't really believe that this book comes out in less than five months?? i grew up frequenting the fantasy section of bookstores and it's absolutely wild that i will have a book on those same shelves and even wilder that people will be able to pick it up and then open it and then (get this) read the words on the pages inside
to start gearing up for GARDEN's release i thought i would introduce you to the four siblings at the story's heart! this is my first book with sibling relationships on page and as a youngest child myself i feel i need to be up front with you and say that the entire reason i wrote this book was to assert that youngest kids are the best kids thank you goodnight
anyway here are the four children of the Argyros family (i say children but they are like a hundred years old) known also as the Argyrosi PLUS a few scattered details about them/their areas of interest/their wardrobe
first! the obligatory preorder button! and then we continue
meet the argyrosi
(featuring art from my pinterest boards)
ALEXANDROS - painting by anne magill
the oldest
never wrong, even when he is wrong
sea and stars
long blue coat with a high collar
poor decision making under duress
RHEA - photograph by luis salchis
lexos's twin sister
always wrong, even when she is right
the turn of the season
black traveling suits and embroidered gowns
deep distaste for seafood
NITSOS - photograph by braden summers
the middle child TM
would rather be anywhere but here
mechanical creatures and hearts
an inventor's apron and a shirt stained with oil
sore loser at board games
CHRYSANTHI - photograph by boe marion
the youngest
the most important person in any room anywhere
color and light
a hand-me-down dress from rhea
has never had a bad day in her life
on the one hand yes it bothers me that three of these are photographs and one is a painting
on the other the painting is just very lexos to me and it couldn't be helped
also if you have scrolled to the bottom of this email here is a link to my playlist for IN A GARDEN BURNING GOLD as a treat (i am using "treat" somewhat dubiously)
