Release + Giveaway | MELT by Selene Castrovilla

November 6, 2014 by Jen Halligan 2 Comments

MELT RDL Banner

Happy Book Birthday to Selene Castrovilla’s MELT! To all of the wonderful readers and bloggers that are participating in the Release Day Launch today, we can’t thank you enough! Check out the book’s details, and be sure to enter the giveaway below!

  • MELT
  • (Rough Romance #1)
  • Selene Castrovilla
  • Age: Young Adult
  • Publisher: Last Syllable Books
  • Release Date: 11/06/2014
  • Number of Pages: 328
  • ISBN-10: 0991626109
  • ISBN-13: 978-0991626109
  • Genres: Contemporary, Romance

MELT is a brutal love story set against the metaphorical backdrop of The Wizard of Oz (not a retelling). When sixteen year old Dorothy moves to the small town of Highland Park, she meets, and falls for Joey – a “bad boy” who tells no one about the catastrophic domestic violence he witnesses at home. Can these two lovers survive peer pressure, Joey’s reputation, and his alcoholism?

Told in dual first person, Joey’s words are scattered on the page – reflecting his broken state. Dorothy is the voice of reason – until something so shattering happens that she, too, may lose her grip. Can their love endure, or will it melt away?

MELT is based on true events. It is both a chilling tale of abuse, and a timeless romance. It will hit you like a punch in the face, and also seep through the cracks in your soul.

Testimonial

"I had the opportunity to work with Jen at my regional SCBWI conference, and wow! This gal has so much information to share, my note-taking could barely keep up! In out one-on-one consultation appointment, she answered questions, shared ideas for how I could optimize both my time and my online presence, AND introduced me to several new-to-me tools for managing social media. Her 1-hour presentation, which I attended later in the day, was filled with 3 hours’ worth of tips, tricks, tools, and resources for every aspect of social media, marketing, and book promotion.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by social media and marketing possibilities—but Jen’s encouraging and generous approach helps writers identify the tools that best fit their needs and map out a strategy to get them where they want to go. I can’t wait to work with her again!"
