Where It Rains in Color – Online Tour and Giveaway!

Happy holidays, book lovers! I’m so excited to talk to you about a recent December release: Where It Rains in Color by Denise Crittendon! I’m still making my way through this book, so all I can say is that the worldbuilding is quite unique and I look forward to reading more. Sci-fi mixed with Afrofuturism? Sign me up 👀

Here’s the synopsis:

Colonized by the descendants of Earth’s West African Dogon Tribe, the planet of Swazembi is a blazing, color-rich utopia and famous vacation center of the galaxy. No one is used to serious trouble in this idyllic, peace-loving world, least of all the Rare Indigo.

But Lileala’s perfect, pampered lifestyle is about to be shattered. The unthinkable happens and her glorious midnight skin becomes infected with a mysterious disease. Where her skin should glisten like diamonds mixed with coal, instead it scabs and scars. On top of that, she starts to hear voices in her head, and everything around her becomes confusing and frightening.

Lileala’s destiny, however, goes far beyond her beauty. While searching for a cure, she stumbles upon something much more valuable. A new power awakens inside her, and she realizes her whole life, and the galaxy with it, is about to change…

It has such a beautiful cover too!

I mean hello?! LOOK AT IT. 😍

Here’s some information about the author:

Denise Crittendon has been a newspaper reporter, magazine editor, motivational speaker, adjunct professor, step aerobics instructor and, when no one’s looking, a tree-hugger. If she’s not wandering through a wooded area, she’s probably spinning around her apartment in a hula hoop. Or doing Zumba. A Detroit native, Denise has taken up residence in mountainous Nevada but says she’ll always be a Motown girl at heart. Where it Rains in Color is her debut novel.
