Fireseed One is my new YA futuristic thriller. It's a journey into a tricked-out near-future earth where 18 year-old Varik has just inherited a vast ocean farm, following the suspicious drowning of his Marine biologist father. When Marisa, a beautiful and devious terrorist, destroys the world's food source, Varik is forced to travel down to a lethal hotzone, teeming with dangerous nomads and a strange cult to search for a magical hybrid plant that may not even exist. The catch? He must take Marisa along, the only person who seems to know key information.
Settle in and have a virtual drink. We're serving SeaGrape sodas, Snowflake Cocktails and Polar Ice Caps. Oh, and have some Flyfish puffs and Pastel Agar Pastries, specialty of SnowAngel Island. These delicacies are all served in Fireseed One.
I'm thrilled to have some of my favorite bloggers here
to help celebrate!

Here's to a great launch and a wonderful successful book!
ReplyDeleteCatherine, happy book birthday! And thanks for letting me be part of your blog tour. I'm looking forward to hosting you tomorrow. :)
ReplyDeleteI bought four copies, and have seen one delivered and received with anticipatory fascination in Portland, Maine. The others are Christmas gifts.
ReplyDeleteTrue to its nature, "Fireseed One" is seeding, and being seeded.
Paradoxical? It's like a future seed coming back to the past to seed itself!
congrats on your launch! wishing you nothing but the best!
ReplyDeleteHurrah! Let the party begin. See you at L'Ongitude for a cocktail!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping in. yes, let's toast with a Polar Ice Cap, shall we? That's crushed ice with marshmallow liqueur.
ReplyDeleteI also purchased four copies! I have given one to a fourteen-year-old boy and a 26-year-old guy. Both can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteI kept a copy for myself! I began reading it right away! I was immediately engaged even though I was exhausted from shopping and too tired to eat!!!
In my opinion, Catherine is a rare talent. Her imagination is wondrous and her command of language and well-honed writing skills thrill you at every turn with yet another exciting, unique image or story twist or interesting idea. I feel honored to know her and to be able to get a glimpse into that amazing imagination of hers!
I wish you much success with Fireseed One!
I'm munching on the delicacies while I'm reading everyone's posts. Congratulations, Catherine on your book launch. Love the plot of the story. Will visit the other blogs to see what's happening there. Best of luck with your novel.
ReplyDeleteA round of free Pastel Pastries in thanks to the generous comments. Sure beats that beetle loaf and moss juice they're serving down in the Hotzone.
ReplyDeleteI'll take a Snowflake Cocktail (with a twist, of course). Then I'll lift my glass in a toast to you for this oh-so-delightful celebration of what you do so well. I'm so impressed, really, and I can't wait to read the copy of Fireseed One so beautifully displayed on my iPad. Congratulation! I wish you much success in the New Year.
ReplyDeleteHi! I tried popping from my cell phone hours ago when I was out shopping. I got the entire message typed and then completely lost it. :((
ReplyDeleteI wanted to wish you a happy launch day! How exciting for you. What a fabulous accomplishment, Catherine!!!
And your new book is all over the blogging world today - congratulations! Enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteSounds really interesting! Congrats on the launch! :)

Deb, thanks for buying FO for iPad. Angela, just popped over to your Bookshelf Muse. Nice site! Alex, yeah, so cool to see all of those same book covers on the dashboard. Candy, you're a sweetie.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like the perfect book match for some of my students! Congrats on a great book launch!
ReplyDeleteSandi
yay! happy book bday!
ReplyDeleteCatherine, congratulations! This sounds like a book my son would adore. Love the cover too. Wishing you must success and I will be checking it out.
ReplyDeleteSandi, yes, I plan to create a downloadable study guide for classrooms and book clubs, because Fireseed has many topical themes for discussion (aside from the adventure). Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteDonna, yes, teen guys too!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You worked hard to get to this point and now you're finally reaping the rewards of seeing your "child" take off! How wonderful! It's what we all dream of and I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeletei just realized blogger at my first comment. Boo, blogger. Boo on you!
ReplyDeleteSuper congrats for reaching this point! It's well deserved!
Congrats Cathy!
ReplyDeleteAww, what a nice treat to slog back from the holiday shopping mob at Macys to see these new comments.
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteCool, a party. :D
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new book, Catherine!
Thanks, Amy and Stina.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see so many comments. Let me add, I am REALLY enjoying this book. The fact that you've been mulling it in your head since the 80's shows in how fully developed the imaginary world is. It's really gestated, and you've wrapped a great story around it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Helen. And a shout out for her blog (link above). Check it out, it's quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read this, Catherine. I love everything about it so far. Sorry I'm so late getting over here (been crazy this week, and I'm sick) but wanted to stop by and officially congratulate you. *tosses confetti*
ReplyDeleteThanks, PK, you were a wonderful party "hostess"! Thanks for liking Fireseed on its facebook page. And thanks to all of the wonderful bloggers who helped me celebrate! I really appreciate it!
