Title: OF DELICATE PIECES
Series: Of Breakable Things #2
Author: A. Lynden Rolland
Publication Date: October 20, 2015
Publisher: Month9books
Summary:
Settling into her second year of death,
Alex is ready to explore her limitless mind in an afterworld that changes each
day, but she still isn’t resting in peace.
The ‘gifted’ are humans who see spirits and
have the same extraordinary mental powers, though they aren’t considered
equals. Centuries ago, Alex’s family led the movement to keep the living and
dead separated, but the gifted believe Alex is a reincarnation of their slain
civil leader. When they begin to break down the barriers that protect the city,
the afterworld becomes dangerous and vulnerable to exposure. The living and
dead both want to use Alex for their own gain, but what they don’t realize is
that neither side will want her when they find out who she really is.
In the afterworld, nothing stays buried for
long.

One of the recurring topics in Of
Delicate Pieces is the idea that memories are the most valuable things we
have. I decided to turn memories into something physical and equally as
valuable. Another new character is Yazzie, the memory miner. He explains his
mine here:
“What's a memory mine?”
“Exactly what it sounds like.” He looked up at the
sky. “When a body dies, whether the soul comes here or not, the energy has to
go somewhere. Think about how strongly you love something, or how strongly you
hate something. That doesn't disappear when you die. The energy travels until
it finds something to latch onto. When the bodied rushed to California for
gold, the spirited rushed here to my mine for the memory stones. But my people,
living and dead, we always knew the land better than anyone. We were here long
before anyone else.”

OF DELICATE PIECES is the follow-up to A.
Lynden Rolland's
OF BREAKABLE THINGS.
Summary:
A captivating debut about the fragility of life,
love, and perspective.
When Chase dies tragically, Alex embraces her own
mortality. What she didn’t expect was that she’d have to make a choice: forget
the years of pain and suffering once and for all, or linger as a spirit and get
another chance at life and love.
Alex doesn’t hesitate to choose; she’d follow Chase
anywhere. But the spirit world is nothing like she expected, and Alex finds
she's forced to fight for her life once more. For even in a world where secrets
are buried much deeper than six feet under, a legacy can continue to haunt
you—and in a place this dangerous, no one is resting in peace.

picturesque town obsessed with boats and blue crabs. She has always been
intrigued by the dramatic and the broken, compiling her eccentric tales of
tragic characters in a weathered notebook she began to carry in grade school.
She is a sports fanatic, a coffee addict, and a lover of Sauvignon Blanc and

she can be found chasing her two vivacious children. She resides in Maryland
with her husband and young sons.
