Welcome Meradeth and congrats!!!!!
Hi! *waves* I'm incredibly excited to announce the paperback release for COLORS LIKE MEMORIES. The ebook release has been a blast, and it is especially awesome to actually hold the book in my hands :) Here are three things I think you might find fun about the book:
1. It's got a pretty sweet cover :) And I'm rather partial to the blurb:
Julia has a secret: she killed the guy she loved. It was an accident—sort of.
Julia is a Sary, the soul of a child who died before taking her first breath. Without this 'breath of life' she and others like her must help those on the verge of suicide. It's a job Julia used to enjoy, until the accident that claimed her boyfriend’s life—an accident she knows was her fault. If living with the guilt weren't enough, she's now assigned to help a girl dealing with the loss of her mother, something Julia's not exactly the best role model for. If she can't figure out a way to help her, Julia's going to lose her position in the Sary, something she swore to her boyfriend would never happen.
2. There have been some pretty awesome things said about it (if I do say so myself, but I may be a bit biased).
See:
-"...I applaud the author for providing a writing that has the power to encourage, inspire, help, heal and simply serve as a platform to stimulate communication for any reader (regardless of age), who is feeling hopeless. If you are looking for an interesting read, this book is well written, interesting and has several positive messages that the reader can take away from the story. I would recommend this book to any reader." TWC Amazon Review
-"Colors Like Memories was an amazing YA paranormal romance. It will make you soar with wings then drop you off and catch you once you get near the ground." Michelle Kullman Amazon Review
-"COLORS LIKE MEMORIES is an achingly beautiful tale of love, loss, and new beginnings. Meradeth Houston writes with a clean, clear prose that packs a punch. She carries her characters through the full spectrum of emotions, and the reader is swept along in the journey." RunningnWriting Amazon Review
3. You don't have to wait for book #2! THE CHEMISTRY OF FATE, also set in the Sary world, is already available, and you can grab a copy at Amazon, B&N, or my publisher MuseItUp Publishing. Book #3, SURRENDER THE SKY, will also be released soon :)
You can pre-order COLORS LIKE MEMORIES at my publisher's site: MuseItUp Publishing, or find it on Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. Ebook copies are also available on all vendor sites!
Those are my three things, and if that's not enough to interest you, well, I've also got a little giveaway running for a book of your choice. Check out the rafflecopter below :)
A bit about Meradeth:
>She’s a
Northern California girl, but now lives and teaches anthropology in Montana.
>When she’s
not writing, she’s sequencing dead people’s DNA. For fun!
>She’s been
writing since she was 11 years old. It's her hobby, her passion, and she’s so
happy to get to share her work!
>If she could
have a super-power, it would totally be flying. Which is a little strange,
because she’s terrified of heights.

I hope you experience it too! Every author should at some point!! :)
DeleteThanks, Susan!! And Meradeth is right (and so very sweet!) Hope to see your's in paperback too!
DeleteCongrats on your paperback release! I have so many favorite books that it's practically impossible to choose one. My all time favorite YA Dystopian book would have to be Divergent. My favorite YA fantasy/paranormal book would have to be The Eternity Cure. And my favorite YA/NA romance book would be the Sea of Tranquility. I couldn't pick just one out of all of them so I just said my favorite for a couple of genres!
ReplyDeleteSo many awesome picks!!! :)
