Vanilla Heart Publishing Celebrates the Public Release of Painted Soul, by Author and Artist Mary Quast

Seattle, WA, May 26, 2008—Vanilla Heart Publishing is pleased to announce the Public Release of Mary Quast’s Painted Soul, and is hosting the novel’s Book Release Launch Party online in the forums on their website, with drawings, prizes, excerpts, and special discounts on autographed copies of Painted Soul in their secure shopping bookstore.

Painted Soul is the debut novel in the Soul Series, written to share the intimate lives, loves, and hearts of deeply intertwined characters.

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 in me 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.”

Vanilla Heart Publishing, of Seattle, Washington, is hosting the online book release launch party for author Mary Quast and her novel, Painted Soul, on Saturday, May 31, 2008 from 10 am (Central time) until 4 pm. That’s six great hours and six great drawings, plus a Grand Prize gift basket, and excerpts, trivia quizzes and more, with a double discount in their bookstore during the launch party. The Online Book Release Launch Party is open to the public.
