Triangles
by Kimberly Ann Miller
Release Date: 06/18/13
Publisher: Spencer Hill Press

Summary from Goodreads: 
A cruise ship. A beautiful island. Two sexy guys. What could possibly go wrong?

In the Bermuda Triangle—a lot.

Hoping to leave behind the reminders of her crappy life--her father's death years ago, her mother's medical problems, and the loser who’s practically stalking her--seventeen-year-old Autumn Taylor hops on a ship with her sister for a little distraction. When she wakes up in the Bermuda Triangle, she fears she's gone nuts for more than one reason: that loser’s suddenly claiming they're a happy couple... a hot guy is wrapping his arms around her and saying "Happy Anniversary"... and suddenly, she’s full of bruises, losing her hair, and getting IV medication. Autumn visits the ship's doctor, hoping for a pill or a shot to make the craziness go away. Instead, she's warned that these "alternate realities" could become permanent.

She just has to ask herself one question—how the hell is she going to get out of this mess?

***Excerpt***

“Are
you all right, honey?”



I opened my eyes. An attractive young woman with red hair and brilliant

green eyes was looking at me. What I thought was salt water from the

ocean must have been tears because my face was the only one nearby that

was wet. I glanced at her concerned expression and smiled. “Yes, thank

you. I’m fine.” I swiped away a tear with my finger. “Just…everything’s

fine.”



She stepped closer and lowered her voice. “This cruise will change

your life. Nothing will be the same when it’s over, but it will be worth it.

You’ll see.” Her emerald eyes twinkled, and she nodded her head once.



I forced a laugh to be polite. “Thanks. Enjoy your cruise.”



What a weirdo. What did that even mean? How could a cruise change

my life? I moved from my spot to avoid more weirdness from her and

found a less populated area at the back of the ship. New York and New

Jersey disappeared behind us as we charged toward Bermuda and away

from the mess my life had become.



A cloud covered the retreating sun, sending shivers through me. A

white-haired lady dropped her purse and lots of change tumbled out. A

penny hit my foot and landed on tails.



My cell phone buzzed. I pulled it from my pocket. I had thirteen

messages and thirteen texts. How would Nisha survive the next five days

without hearing from me? I took care of the messages and told her I’d call

her when we got back to Jersey.



Even though I was not very superstitious, a bad feeling crawled into

the pit of my stomach and took up residence.




I knew what I was leaving behind, but what was I floating toward?

DAY 6 A Guided Tour of The Strange World of BREAKING GLASS

There are a lot of historical references and bits of trivia in BREAKING GLASS and I spent a lot of time researching them. I thought for this Blog tour Gap Day I’d give you a little tour of some of the odds and ends.

KABBALAH

Jeremy Glass’ love interest, Susannah Durbin has an obsession with occult and a particular interest in a form of Jewish mysticism called Kabbalah.  Jeremy, desperate to unlock her mysteries and being the research nerd he is does some digging into this fascinating body of knowledge. If you want to learn a bit yourself, check this out.

Apparently there is quite an abundance of old carousels in New England, a fact Jeremy would find curious and fascinating:

Even though they hearken back to a time gone by, the hand carved antique carousels from the 19th and early 20th century still bring great joy to those who ride them in the 21st century. While they are not high-tech wonders, there is something addicting about trying to get the brass ring that will keep you coming back again and again.
There are 18 operating antique carousels in New England dating from 1876 to the 1940s. The two oldest operating carousels in New England also happen to be the oldest operating carousels in the United States. Here is a list of New England’s antique carousels:
In addition, Vermont has a Dentzel Carousel Company antique carousel on display dating from 1903 at the Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vermont in their Circus Building.

BREAKING GLASS from Spencer Hill Press, July 2013
by Lisa Amowitz
On the night seventeen-year-old Jeremy Glass winds up in the hospital with a broken leg and a blood alcohol level well above the legal limit, his secret crush, Susannah, disappears. When he begins receiving messages from her from beyond the grave, he’s not sure whether they’re real or if he’s losing his grip on reality. Clue by clue, he gets closer to unraveling the mystery, and soon realizes he must discover the truth or become the next victim himself.
