Ryan Graudin’s LUMINANCE HOUR, in which a partying prince falls for a Kate Middletonesque fae, who has been protecting the royal family for centuries, and who must make an impossible choice amidst a backdrop of a palace murder and paparazzi mayhem, to Alyson Day at Harper Teen, in a very-nice deal, in a two-book deal, by Alyssa Eisner Henkin at Trident Media Group.
I’ve done some beta reading work for Ryan, and was stunned by the professionalism of her work. It’s fantastic to see her writing recognized with a two-book book deal to a major publisher.
Or, to put it another way:
I don’t think there’s any information about a UK release yet, but with those brilliantly topical monarchy themes I can imagine it doing brilliantly here. I can’t wait to pre-order and read “Luminance Hour”.
Ryan discusses the announcement here, with a fun video discussing the wait and how she coped here.
