Blog Tour With Liesel K. Hill: Persistence of Vision

I am so pleased to be hosting Liesel K. Hill and her blog tour for her new book, Persistence of Vision. What a cover! If that face doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what does. And check out this description from Amazon:

A flash of purple light. A rock formation. Brown boots walking across a room at eye level. Two large hands covering hers. A hand with an ugly black burn on the back. A woman standing in front of a broken lighthouse. Blood on her hands. A whisper of a voice.These are the images that haunt Maggie. One afternoon a year ago, Maggie blacked out inexplicably. Now a man with a spider’s web tattooed on his eye has attacked her in her home. Things only get more confusing when Marcus, a man she vaguely remembers from her black out, shows up to take her away. Marcus is from the future and is a member of the Brain Chemistry Optimists (BCO). And so is Maggie. Her black out was actually a year’s worth of time she spent in the future, fighting against collectives—people who have linked their minds together and given up all individuality. The collectives are working to bring down the few individuals left, and Maggie learns that she is supposed to play a crucial role in these efforts. The members of the BCO explain that in battle, her brain was attacked, and she lost all her memories of her time in the future. All she has left are flashes, afterimages, Persistence of Vision. Now she must relearn everything about this different world, harness mental powers beyond anyone’s imagining, and navigate what was once a romance with Marcus. On top of all of that, she begins unraveling the mystery of her lost memory. However, for every answer she finds, it seems that another, more complicated question arises. Will she be able to remember enough to help the BCO?

To whet your appetite more, we have intercepted an email exchange between Maggie and her brother Jonah. Boy, has her world been radically altered. Take a look:

To Jonah Harper

Hi Jonah.

Don’t ask me how I managed this. You’d never believe me anyway. The fact that I managed to get an email to you at all is kind of miraculous. I’ve purposely blocked out the date.

I know you’re probably worried for me, and I so wish I could have let someone know before I just disappeared from my life, but there simply wasn’t time. I couldn’t possibly explain what’s happened in any detail. I don’t have the space or energy and you wouldn’t believe me.

One thing I will say, though: You know the time loss thing that happened to us in Vegas a year ago? You know how I said I felt like something deeper had happened and I just couldn’t let go of it? Well, I want you to know that I WAS RIGHT!!! And I intend to force you to admit that to me with a straight face when I see you again.

Something happened with my memories, Jonah. I lost so much more than just twelve hours. For now, just know that I’m safe. Well, you know relatively. I’m with friends, and I’m trying to understand what’s happened, specifically what happened in those memories that I lost.

I’m sure that sounds ludicrous to you, but try to trust me. You’re my brother and I love you, but in many ways, it’s probably better that I didn’t see you before taking off. I wouldn’t want you dragged into this. Tell Mom and Dad I love them too. I’ll try to come back to you, but I can’t say when or even if I’ll return with any certainty. I’m sorry for the worry I’m causing you.

Love, Maggie

P.S. Don’t ever take cheeseburgers or tacos for granted, okay?
