Audiobook Sample of The Hundred Loves of Juliet
Also, upcoming events including The Hundred Loves of Juliet Launch Party!!
Hello lovelies!
Do you love audiobooks? If so, you’re in luck— you can listen to a sample of The Hundred Loves of Juliet now!
My publisher was soooo kind and invited me to record the Dedication, Author’s Note, and Acknowledgments for the audiobook. Authors don’t usually do this (it’s the job of professional voice actors/narrators), but my publisher asked if I wanted to, since this book was inspired by my own personal love story. :) So that’s why my name is on the audiobook credits as a narrator! (I’m not in the sample, though).
Another incredible review from a major publishing journal, including a comparison to The Time Traveler’s Wife and The Thousand Doors of January!
Newly divorced Helene has moved from California to Alaska, where she intends to reinvent herself, write a novel, and escape devastating blows to both her journalism career and her marriage. She did not intend to meet Sebastien, the personification of the love interest in the short stories she writes, with whom she feels an instant and intense connection. Sebastien, however, recognizes Helene immediately as a reincarnation of Juliet Capulet. He is Romeo Montague, doomed to live forever, loving and losing incarnations of Juliet for the rest of time. Helene and Sebastien navigate a relationship fraught with the history of a famous love story, played out through eras and nations, that Helene has written about and Sebastien lived through. Veteran author Skye invokes flavors of Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler’s Wife (2003) or Alix E. Harrow's The Ten Thousand Doors of January (2019) in this new novel. A new twist on a classic love story, The One Hundred Loves of Juliet will appeal to readers of contemporary fantasy or historical romance with its time- and place-bending take on some of literature’s most enduring lovers.
