The dramatized adaptation of White Hot, the second novel in the Hidden Legacy series is out today.

I’m already in Olivia’s compound. Incoming Cornelius goosebumps in three, two, one…

If you’re not sure you want to catch up with me, you can a taste from some of the exclusive samples below (different from the official sample available on the retailer websites):

A little bit of Leon:

Michael Latimer intro:

And, of course, everyone’s favorite beasties:

In backstage news, Megan Hastie (the intrepid Hidden Legacy GA director) is getting a lot of input on Caesars and Vicky Babies from me at the moment as she started adapting Wildfire. Megan is also putting together an Alessandro Sagredo sampler for House Andrews to give their opinion on casting. A flight of Counts, if you will. Ah, some people have all the luck.

Happy listening!

As usual, the Records Keeper has snuck us a few tasty exclusive samples ahead of time. Hasn’t he, Michael?

Leon-narration sweeps the BDH nation!

A mysterious stranger approaches Nevada at the ball:

And that’s all.

No other sample.

Just these two.

What’s that? There’s a particular scene in White Hot that’s, oh, I don’t know, universally beloved? A certain fan-favorite moment that BDH listeners have been not-so-p*tiently w*iting for in full cast, sound-effected glory? Well goodness, that’s brand new information to me. Couldn’t possibly imagine what you mean…

Ok, ok, I can’t keep up the act hehe.

FERRET and I cannot emphasise this enough HEEEEIST:

You get a ferret, you get a ferret, we all get a Chinese ferret-badger!

Megan and her team (plus beasties) will be adapting all seven books in the Hidden Legacy series: Nevada’s trilogy, the Diamond Fire transition novella, and Catalina’s trilogy. They will also include the bonus unpublished Arabella POV blog exclusives: A Misunderstanding and The Cool Aunt. Some of these releases will overlap with Nora’s adaptations of Wilmington Years and Blood Heir, coming in the first half of next year from Graphic Audio.

A quick reminder: Graphic Audio adaptations aren’t commissioned by authors. GA are an independent company who decide which books they’d like to adapt and approach authors for the rights to those works. House Andrews are more than happy to grant the rights, provide insight on canon, pronunciation guides, and makes sure fan-favorite scenes are spotlighted, but all creative, casting and business decisions belong to GA.

Also important: these adaptations will never replace the unabridged, traditional narrator audiobooks released through the publishers or self-published by the authors themselves. Think of them as cousins. One version is your cozy audiobook companion, the other is a full-cast, music-and-sound-effect cinematic experience. GA’s tagline is “A movie in your mind!” and most of us will agree they deliver.

I have covered in more detail how to purchase on the GA app in this post, which you can also supplement with the Graphic Audio Help FAQ on their website. The books should be available for your libraries, as well as major retailers like Audible, Hoopla and Chirp.

Happy listening and may your ferrets be ever stealthy!

GA expect a similar release schedule for Hidden Legacy as for Kate, with a new installment every couple of months or so. They will be adapting all seven books in the series: Nevada’s trilogy, the Diamond Fire transition novella, and Catalina’s trilogy. They will also include the bonus unpublished Arabella POV blog exclusives: A Misunderstanding and The Cool Aunt.

Without further ado, the first samples from Burn for Me, fresh of the sound design table.

Mad Rogan abandons his hermit orchid and joins the Baylors for a meal:

Neva and Rogan meet Bug – the voice transformation is aweeeesome!

It’s an all-new director and cast, which I know you want to check out – GA have updated the list on the Burn for Me page I linked above.

The new team have had the same level of collaboration and insight from Ilona and Gordon as Nora and her team for the Kate adaptations. Pronunciations clips with HA’s preferences, advice on voice casting, insight on characters, what our favorite scenes are etc. But a reminder here as always that Graphic Audio are their on business, who approach the authors and buy adaptation rights to these works, so all creative and commercial decisions are ultimately theirs.

House Andrews do not commission them for these audio books. The GA dramatized full-cast adaptations will never replace the traditional, one-narrator audio books released by the authors and their publishers.

I have covered in more detail how to buy and the accessibility of the GA app in this post, which you can also supplement with the Graphic Audio Help FAQ on their website.

Audiobooks.com are also running a promotion for 70% the dramatized GA adaptation of Magic Slays until the 1st of May. A chance to complete your collection if you don’t own it already!

Happy listening!
