2017 SerendipiTEA Tour Featuring When Planets Fall Author Abby Reed + Giveaway!


I've always wanted to have a chance to host a book tour on my blog, for as long as it's been alive. Right now, not only do I get to do that, but this is also a tour that I in part created. It was an honor and privilege to work with these sixteen debut authors and put together a beautiful and packed tour of their novels. Today I'm extremely excited to be focusing in on WHEN PLANETS FALL by Abby Reed, who I consider a friend.


Here's a little bit about this book:



“In this richly imagined start to a new sci-fi series, Reed brings optimism to the goal of solving entrenched violence in a galaxy far, far away. . . A propulsive, sharply crafted tale about a planetary war.” –Kirkus Reviews
If you enjoy books with disabled characters, sibling relationships, moral greys, body modification, and don't mind a bit of blood . . . in space . . . then you might like WHEN PLANETS FALL!
Breaker's home is cleaved by blood. The three tribes on the planet Scarlatti, whose only difference is their blood color, each want to exploit Breaker's valley for themselves. The feudal tension has already claimed red-blood Breaker's leg and his older brother. Now all this 18-year old wants is to maintain the tenuous peace in order to keep his little 'stroid of a brother alive. Malani, a red-blood raised blue, is a kidnapped POW and only wants to return to her adoptive home with her dangerous blue secrets. Luka, a red-blood stewing for trouble, wants to right wrongs done to his family and bathe his home in justice.

All three intersect when Breaker discovers a wrecked starship and is given seven days by the green-bloods to fix and hand it over as a weapon. Breaker must decide if aiding his enemies is worth the home he knows and his family's life. War is coming. And war respects no boundaries. And war leaves no survivors."

This is book #1 in STARS FALL CIRCLE series.

A little bit about her tea life! 

This photo should sum up my tea life: 


Yeah. Did I mention I like tea?

I like the caffeine. I like that it's water (I live at high-altitude!) I like the flavors. It's like eating a scent, and since scents are strong memory triggers, it's like eating a memory. Every time I drink something rose-based, I'm reminded of the way I felt when I visited the Queen's Rose Garden in England. I feel at peace, surrounded by beauty, even if I haven't left my office.

All about her tea contribution:


My WHEN PLANETS FALL tea is a custom cinnamon vanilla roobios mix. It smells very warm and makes me think of home. With rooibos as a base, there's no caffeine. And, fun fact: rooibos is supposed to be good for headaches!

Cinnamon is a very important scent to Breaker. To him, it's a scent that symbolizes his brother's death, loss, and a never-ending cycle of violence. I knew that had to be a main part of the tea. The vanilla is representative of the pupal fruit that grows on Scarlatti. It's a main part of their diet and has a sweeter taste. I chose rooibos because a) it's red, and the color red is huge in Breaker's world. B) Rooibos is supposed to be inflammatory, which is good for migraines, and Luka, one of the POVs, gets migraines.
