Vanilla Heart Publishing Signs Author Mary Quast For Debut Novel In Soul Series, Painted Soul

PR Log (Press Release) – Jan 06, 2008 – Vanilla Heart Publishing is pleased to announce their signing Mary Quast, artist and author of the upcoming novel Painted Soul. Painted Soul will be the debut novel of the ‘Soul’ series, and is slated for public release Spring, 2008.

A contemporary romance with a twist, Painted Soul is a story that takes the reader on a wonderful ride in an artist’s life, through the streets of London, and into the shadows of the underground.

Elizabeth McAlister was only eighteen when she met the art student, Puzzola, in a London nightclub and gave him her heart. Ten years later, they meet again when a summer of intense passion and dark secrets begins.

As Elizabeth falls deeper in love with Puzzola, she tries to rescue him from tortured memories he refuses to discuss. Eventually, his double life and erotic past are exposed in a local newspaper just as he is involved in a life-threatening accident.

“Quast’s emotionally charged and intensely romantic novel is so well researched and so exquisitely told,” says Karen Mayes, contemporary romance reviewer, “I will be looking for more of Mary’s work, that is for sure!”

The author says, “At the age of sixteen, I had the opportunity to visit the Soho district of London and was inspired by the atmosphere. This inspiration continued to build over the years until I completed Painted Soul, and was so completely entranced by all the characters, I just had to write more novels to tell their individual stories. I couldn’t stop
writing.”

Quast currently has two more of the series completed in addition to Painted Soul; Tormented Soul and Lonely Soul, and is working on the fourth ‘Soul’ novel. “Every novel reveals more characters and plot twists to delve into, and more people’s lives and loves to write about,” says Quast. “I may never stop writing the stories inside my head,” she promises.
