A Brand New Address is the first book in Kathleen Rowland's Intervenus series, aimed at the New Adult market.
The
cosmic impact of 2153 throws Earth into a second Ice Age and impacts planet orbits in the entire solar system. Water erupts on the moon-sized asteroids near Mars and Venus, morphing their atmospheres into habitable.
After Mars’ nuclear war, Venus is the next big hope.
Yardley is reserved, Marchand has communication issues,
and despite their initial mutual crush, it looks like they are never going to
work things out.
Taking place during 22nd
Century Earth’s second ice age, A BRAND NEW ADDRESS follows childhood friends Yardley Van Dyke and Marchand LaFond who trick and tease each other. Robin-hooding thief Marchand sails his
ice-boat across the frozen tundra to deliver fuel and food to the needy. Subsistence gardener Yardley gives away
home-cooked meals. Just when their
attraction sizzles, he enters a space race to Venus.
Yardley promised her dying
mother she’d care for the family by growing food in their greenhouse. Clashing with Dad’s fiancé puts her on the
outs at home. After winning a prize for
an intergalactic garden project, she wants to prove her prototype works on
Venus.
Groomed for the mission
and calling the shots, Marchand can’t let emotions to get in the way. Maneuvering through sun spikes and space junk
is dangerous enough. Evil competitor
Vito Savage plans to annihilate competing shuttles. Will Savage’s darkest sins
come to light? If Yardley goes, will she tolerate Marchand’s brazen
exterior? Will Venus be their brand new
address where life will find them?

Kathleen writes romantic suspense, and her books run the gamut from sweet (INTERVENUS series) to
sensuous (WATERFRONT series).
She grew
up in Iowa where she caught lightning bugs, ran barefoot, and raced her
sailboat on
Though she holds an MS in computer science, she dreams about her characters and, upon waking, she might put them on a different path. She picks colors to
represent characters-- for instance
green for Yardley because she’s a gardener and nurturer; red for Marchand
because he’s a Robin Hooder and must fight to protect.
Kathleen is
proud of their five children who have flown the coop, giving her time to write. She believes that with hard work,
dreams do come true.

Thank you, Suz, for featuring A BRAND NEW ADDRESS today. Yardley and Marchand are an interracial couple who feel passionately about each other. The heat level of their romance is sweet rather than sensuous. They're eighteen.
