Hi Scavengers! I’m Kristi Helvig, your hostess for this stage of the hunt and I’m so excited to be part of Team Pink:

SCAVENGER HUNT POST
I’m so excited to be hosting the lovely Amy Rolland on this hunt:
A. Lynden Rolland is a former high school English teacher, and she enjoys visiting classrooms, camps, and book clubs to discuss reading, writing and publishing. When she isnβt chasing her young children around town, she moonlights as a writing tutor and gymnastics instructor. Her debut novel, Of Breakable Things, was published in 2014. The sequel, Of Delicate Pieces, released last fall.Β You can connect with A. Lynden Rolland online through Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, Instagram, or Tumblr.
I loved Amy’s debut novel, Of Breakable Things, and am so excited for this awesome sequel, Of Delicate Pieces, which is on my TBR list!
From Amy:
Hello hunters! I hope youβre having fun with the bonus material and adding tons of books to your TBR piles! The book Iβm featuring is Of Delicate Pieces, part two of my supernatural series!
When I was writing the sequel to Of Breakable Things, I wanted the reader to see more of the mind-bending magic of the afterworld. My characters live in a place where walls can breathe, where objects have personalities, and where reality is distorted. Itβs beautifully haunting, but the difference between the first book and the second is that Alex, the main character, finally begins to see the imperfections. Itβs the afterlife but itβs not heaven, and spirits are not angels. Theyβve done horrible things which have affected the foundation of the society theyβve established.
The afterworld is its own character in the series, and my Pinterest board gives readers a taste of what I see when Iβm writing.
Follow Amy’s board Of Breakable Things/ Of Delicate Pieces on Pinterest.
Thanks for being on the hunt, Amy–and those Pinterest pics are eerie and awesome! Aside from being a talented author, Amy is also super nice and recently added a sweet baby girl to her family. Hmmm…I wonder if she’ll end up with 7 children someday?
