Talking to Kale from Touch by Jus Accardo & Giveaway


Official Tour Stop

StuckInBooks is VERY excited to bring you Kale from Touch.

Hey Kale.  I'm so glad you agreed to talk to me.  It's a beautiful day to be sitting outside at the The Blueberry Bean with you.  I guess you like to be outside as much as you can, huh?

It's pleasant being outdoors. I wasn't allowed out often at Denazen.

That makes it hard.  But things changed when you met Dez.  That first meeting Dez was a little stressful.  But what was your first impression of her?

I wasn't sure what to think. She helped me hide from the agents and that
confused me at first. I did get a funny tickle in my belly when I first
saw her. At first I thought it was caution, now I believe it was something
else. Something amazing started that moment.

What about now that you've gotten to know her, can you describe Dez?

Dez is...a miracle. There's not one thing I don't love about her. She's a
lot like me. Strong and not easily broken. She stands for what she
believes in and doesn't worry about what it will cost her. More
people--Sixes and Nixes--need to be like Dez...

I think I'd have to agree with you there.  Life hasn't been kind to you, but you had a special person helping you.  Tell us how you feel about Sue? What is she like?

Sue is strong and brave. She's tough. She made life at Denazen less
painful. Until Dez, she was the only light in a dark existence. Sometimes
when I think back, I wonder if the reason I went with Dez was because she reminded me a bit of Sue...

It's nice that you had someone to help you like that at Denazen.  But now you have the whole outside world to learn about.  As you have learned and experienced the outside world, what has been your favorite first?

*Kale hesitates, then leans forward* Kissing Dez...

*I laugh* I think that is exactly what I expected you to say.  What you and Dez have is special.  If you could spend a day with Dez, do anything, go anywhere, what would you do?

It wouldn't matter what we did, as long as we were together...

Nice!  I know you've got to taste a lot of new foods, what's your favorite food now?

Out of everything I've eaten, I think cheese sticks are my favorite.
Watermelon Jell-O is very nice, too.

I'll admit to being a big fan of cheese sticks myself.  If you could have one wish, no questions asked, what would it be?

I would take down Denazen and ensure Sixes safety.

Denazen is certainly something to be feared, but what is your greatest fear?
Losing Dez.

I hope that never happens.

Either/Or

Mountains or ocean? I've never seen either so I'm not sure.

Steak or burger? I had a burger a few weeks ago. It was very enjoyable.

Coke or Pepsi? Is that food? A drink actually.  Lots of bubbles, you should try it.

M&M's or skittles? *Kale frowns* Are you making these words up? No I didn’t make those up.  They are candy.  Ask Dez about them.

Blond or brunette? Whatever color Dez's hair happens to be. Which makes perfect sense.

Blue or brown eyes? Brown Awe, Dez’s eye color, seeing a pattern here.

Day or night? Either...


Thanks Kale for talking to me.  I've certainly enjoyed the cute coffee shop
with you. Is there anything else you would like to tell my readers?

You're welcome. This was interesting. Dez likes this place. She says it
has kick ass lattes...whatever that is.




Don't ya just love that boy? I did! Check out my 5 star review of Touch.
 

Author Bio:

Jus Accardo is the author of YA paranormal romance and urban fantasy
fiction. A native New Yorker, she lives in the middle of nowhere with her
husband, three dogs, and sometimes guard bear, Oswald. Her first book,
Touch, is due out in November 2011 from Entangled Publishing. She is
represented by Kevan Lyon of Marsal Lyon Literary Agency.

Touch Blurb:

"When a strange boy tumbles down a river embankment and lands at her feet,
seventeen-year-old adrenaline junkie Deznee Cross snatches the opportunity
to piss off her father by bringing the mysterious hottie with ice blue
eyes home.

Except there's something off with Kale. He wears her shoes in the shower,
is overly fascinated with things like DVDs and vases, and acts like she'll
turn to dust if he touches her. It's not until Dez's father shows up,
wielding a gun and knowing more about Kale than he should, that Dez
realizes there's more to this boy - and her father's "law firm" - than she
realized.

Kale has been a prisoner of Denazen Corporation - an organization devoted
to collecting "special" kids known as Sixes and using them as weapons -
his entire life. And, oh yeah, his touch? It kills. Dez and Kale team up
with a group of rogue Sixes hellbent on taking down Denazen before they're
caught and her father discovers the biggest secret of all. A secret Dez
has spent her life keeping safe.

A secret Kale will kill to protect."
