BLURB
I
looked down at the paper, still touching the tip of my shoe. I reached for it,
flipping the page over to look.
Scrawls
of ink outlined a drawing of a girl lying on a bench.
A
sick feeling started to twist in my stomach, like motion sickness.
And
then the girl in the drawing turned her head, and her inky eyes glared straight
into mine.
On
the heels of a family tragedy, the last thing Katie Greene wants to do is move
halfway across the world. Stuck with her aunt in Shizuoka, Japan, Katie feels
lost. Alone. She doesn’t know the language, she can barely hold a pair of
chopsticks, and she can’t seem to get the hang of taking her shoes off whenever
she enters a building.
Then
there’s gorgeous but aloof Tomohiro, star of the school’s kendo team. How did
he really get the scar on his arm? Katie isn’t prepared for the answer. But
when she sees the things he draws start moving, there’s no denying the truth:
Tomo has a connection to the ancient gods of Japan, and being near Katie is
causing his abilities to spiral out of control. If the wrong people notice,
they'll both be targets.
Katie
never wanted to move to Japan—now she may not make it out of the country alive.
Paperback, 377 pages
Expected publication: June 25th 2013 by

ABOUT AMANDA
I’m
a YA author and proud Nerdfighter. I was born in Deep River, Canada, a
very small town without traffic lights or buses, and where stranger safety is
comprised of what to do if you see a bear—or skunk. I started reading
fantasy novels at 4 and writing as soon as I could hold a pencil.
Hopefully my work’s improved since then.
In
university I took English, Linguistics, and Asian History, before settling into
Archaeology, because I loved learning about the cultures and stories of
ancient people. Of course, I didn’t actually become an archaeologist—I have an
intense fear of spiders. I prefer unearthing fascinating stories in the
safety of my living room.
The
Paper Gods is inspired by my time living in Osaka and travelling throughout
Japan. That and watching far too many J-Dramas. I currently live in Toronto
with
my
husband and daughter. When I’m not writing, I’m devouring YA books, knitting
nerdy things like Companion Cubes and Triforce mitts, and making elaborate
cosplays for anime cons.
GIVEAWAY (Aw, yeah!)

ReplyDeleteThank you for doing this awesome blog tour. I've already missed a few stops though sad :)
I'm really looking forward to reading this book.
ReplyDeleteThe Total Travel link does not work.
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds amazing. Considering how I've always been fascinated by japanese culture when I came across it, I knew I had to read it.
ReplyDeleteI've always been really into the japanese culture, and I just adore to read manga and watch anime. So the fact that an actual book is based in japan and has japanese culture in it, sounds really exciting! I know I'll like it! :)
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I read INK already, but I had to send my ARC away and I'm planning on buying a bunch of copies for my friends anyway so I hope you don't mind me entering the giveaway! :3
ReplyDeleteAnyways, INK is pretty much one of the best books Japan fans can ask for. Or just book fans, really. Thanks for kicking off such an awesome giveaway and I hope everyone who sees this post reads INK, yo! ^.^
Sounds like a nice book. I love the cover. It's simple and just perfect
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read this book. The cover is so beautiful and I'm interested in reading a book set in Japan.
