March and April Blog Tour for THE VINES by Shelley Nolden

Release Date: March 23, 2021 from Freiling Publishing

Mark your calendars for this great Blog Tour lineup for Shelley Nolden‘s THE VINES, which is historical fiction and suspense at its best. It’s both a breathtaking novel that explores a long-forgotten place and an ominous thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat as the story unravels. In this debut—the first book in a planned series—Nolden skillfully weaves together a page turner, spanning over a hundred years, that’s set on New York City’s abandoned North Brother Island.  

ADVANCE PRAISE: “THE VINES weaves beautiful writing around an unsettling mystery:  Who is the strange, scarred woman living on a seemingly uninhabitable island? Shelley Nolden’s debut seems not just prescient – given the world’s current focus on virology and immunizations – but also timeless, as it illustrates in painful detail how mankind seems destined to repeat our cruelest mistakes. Luckily for us readers, there’s a bright thread of hope running through this book as well as the promise of a sequel.”  —Sarah Pekkanen, #1 NYT bestselling co-author of You Are Not Alone

“Highly original and richly drawn, Shelley Nolden’s THE VINES features one of the most fascinating central characters you’ll ever meet. Drawing on both the dark history of North Brother Island and today’s painfully immediate worries about immunity and transmission of deadly disease, this debut transcends genre to combine history, thrills, obsession, medical ethics, and more into the compelling story of three generations of doctors and one remarkable woman.”— Greer Macallister, bestselling author of The Magician’s Lie and The Arctic Fury 

“Eerily timely and profoundly compelling, THE VINES is an unputdownable, unforgettable saga, the journey of a seemingly helpless, persecuted American woman who survives and battles back, against all odds; this first in what promises to be an explosive series signals the arrival of Shelley Nolden’s masterful new voice in hybrid fiction.”— May Cobb, author of The Hunting Wives

SYNOPSIS: In the shadows of New York City’s North Brother Island stand the remains of a shuttered hospital and the haunting memories of quarantines and human experiments. The ruins conceal the scarred and beautiful Cora, imprisoned there by contagions and the doctors who torment her. When Finn, a young urban explorer, arrives on the island and glimpses the enigmatic woman through the foliage, intrigue turns to obsession as he seeks to uncover her past–and his own family’s dark secrets.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: A graduate of the University of Minnesota, Shelley Nolden is an entrepreneur and writer, now residing in Wisconsin. Previously, she lived in the New York City area, where she worked on Wall Street and first learned of North Brother Island. At the age of 31, Shelley was diagnosed with leukemia and completed treatment three years later. The sense of isolation and fear she experienced during her cancer ordeal influenced her spellbinding debut novel, THE VINES

NEXUS sells out on Amazon on launch day

The release of NEXUS by Ramez Naam has gone amazingly well. NEXUS made it to #1 on Amazon’s “Hot New Science Fiction” list and #50 on their overall Fiction list. Amazon completely sold out all of their physical stock on launch day and then almost did it again a second time. The book is off to a great start.

Books sell, in the long run, by word of mouth. NEXUS has gotten amazing reviews at BoingBoing, Wired, Ars Technica, The Wall Street Journal, and more. But all of those will have their impact only in the very beginning. What matters after the first few months is whether people who read the book recommend it to each other. So far that looks to be going well – on Amazon the book already has almost 80 customer reviews, more than three quarters of them five stars, and the rest all four stars.

So, in summary: thank you, thank you, thank you for helping get NEXUS off to an amazing start! It’s been a great way to kick off the new year.
