Title: SUMMER OF SUPERNOVAS
Author: Darcy Woods
Pub. Date: May 10, 2016
Publisher: Crown BFYR
Format: Hardcover, eBook
As the daughter of an expert astrologer,
Wilamena Carlisle knows that the truth lies within the stars. So when she
discovers a rare planetary alignment, she is forced to tackle her worst
astrological fear – The Fifth House of Relationships and Love. But Wil must
decide whether a cosmically doomed love is worth rejecting her mother’s legacy,
when she falls for a sensitive guitar player hailing from the wrong side of the
chart.
Debut author Darcy Woods explores love in all its complexities and how to best honor the loved ones who have passed before us, in a novel packed with both humor and heart.
All Signs Point to Love
Raise your hand if you’ve
ever consulted your horoscope. Okay, if your hand is not up, then I’m going to
declare you a mythical unicorn. Because for many of us, there’s something irresistibly
alluring about the notion of fate written in the stars. Especially in matters of the heart.
Fueled by this fascination
(and mild . . . obsession?) with astrology—HUZZAH! The initial concept of Summer of Supernovas was born! One of
the key elements within this story is the idea of astrological compatibility. So
with that in mind, I thought it might be fun to share some of the best romantic
parings for each zodiac sign.
Ready. Set. Swooooon!
(INSERT ASTROLOGY GIF ONE HERE—glittery stars)
Aries (Mar. 21 - Apr. 19)
Adventure is your middle
name. Right after courageous, impulsive, and energetic. You’ll find heavenly
matches with independent and intelligent Aquarius or Gemini. Want an opposite who
attracts? Look no further than Pisces.
Taurus (Apr. 20 - May 20)
Stubborn as a bull—the
expression fits you to a tee. But that determination is precisely why you tend
to succeed. Patient and affectionate Taurus will discover stable partnerships
with Capricorn and Cancer. Looking for insta-love? Try a Virgo.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun. 20)
If there is a chameleon of
the zodiac world, it is adaptable Gemini. Quick in thought and with words, this
lively, intellectual sign finds fireworks with extroverted Leo and Aries. For
less explosive, yet harmonious love—go Libra.
Cancer (Jun. 21 – Jul. 22)
I feel therefore I am. A suiting mantra for the exquisitely sensitive,
receptive, and emotional Cancer. Discover a devoted love with rock steady
Taurus or Virgo, while dynamic passions are ignited with Scorpio.
Leo (Jul. 23 – Aug. 22)
A glittery, superstar
among the zodiacs, you were born to entertain. To find a sign that can keep up
with your enthusiasm and exuberance, look to Aries or Sagittarius. Want a mate
who oozes creativity and charm? Libra it is!
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sep. 22)
Modest, industrious, and
analytical. You don’t daydream, you day-do!
Virgo’s will delight in down-to-earth, passionate Taurus. Seeking a kindred
spirit for your perfectionist ways? Find it with another Virgo or Capricorn.
Libra (Sep. 23 – Oct. 22)
With a ruling planet of
Venus—Goddess of love and beauty—you radiate elegance and charm. Set your
sights on high-spirited Gemini or Sagittarius. For the ultimate match in love and friendship, you’ll find it with
Aquarius.
Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
A sign of
extremes—imagination, passion, and emotion collide! But you’ll hit your
emotional stride with loyal Cancer or intuitive Pisces. Looking for a romantic
match with loads of ambition? Capricorn will help you reach the top of the
mountain.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Boundless energy, optimism,
and a lightning rod for luck—freedom-loving Sagittarius makes life appear easy
breezy. Aries or Aquarius make spectacular suitors, and satisfy your energetic
and intellectual needs. For maximum excitement, look no further than Leo.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
Driven by the pursuit of
your own destiny, ambition and steadiness are why you thrive. Both Taurus and Virgo
entice with their determined spirits—an aphrodisiac to Capricorn. But you’ll
find opposites DO attract with a dreamy Pisces.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Inventive, unorthodox, and
assertive—you wear your uniqueness like a badge of honor. There is fun and
frolicking aplenty with Aries or Gemini, the same is true for Sagittarius. This
is a trifecta of amore with no boredom in sight!
Pisces (Feb. 19 – Mar. 20)
As one of the most
intuitive signs in the zodiac dozen, sensitivity and compassion come naturally.
Aim for the tenderness of Cancer or Scorpio for emotional resonance. For a
contrast of temperaments that suit each other beautifully, a Capricorn is quite
the catch!
Well??? I’m dying to hear, does YOUR heart align
with the stars? Or do you find it to be (like Gram in Summer of Supernovas) a bunch of cosmological hooey?
Young adult author Darcy Woods had three big loves in grade school:
Reading, writing, and pizza day. Some things never change. She lives in
Michigan with her madly supportive husband, two tuxedo cats (who overdress for
everything) and a closet full of neatly organized shoes. Once upon a time, she
served in a US Army aviation unit and threw live grenades. Now she throws
words.
Darcy’s Golden Heart®-winning debut YA romance, SUMMER OF SUPERNOVAS,
