New Adult Sub-Category On Amazon!
Great News for my fellow New Adult Authors!!!
Amazon has added New Adult/College as a sub-category!!
I checked my current release, The Wedding Date and it's already added into that sub-category. I guess because I had tagged it as New Adult.
But in case your book wasn't already added, you can change it two ways, go into KDP Publishing and change your tags to include New Adult and I suppose Amazon will put it in the appropriate categories or you can contact KDP to ask them to put your book into that sub-category.
If you go the 2nd route make sure you list your book as Non-Classifiable in KDP under the category section first, then contact KDP and tell them to put your book in the New Adult/College sub-category.
For now, New Adult is only a sub-category of the Romance section although we all know that New Adult is more than just romance.
However, if your New Adult title is in fact a romance book and you want to request to be added into this sub-category you will want to be listed as such:
Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Literature & Fiction > Genre Fiction > Romance > New Adult & College
Hope this helps!!

“They are everywhere, can be anyone, and are always the last person you’d expect.” When Tom stumbles across his grandfather’s journal, he’s convinced the old man was crazier than he thought. The book contains references to beings called the Sary, immortals who are assigned to save humans on the verge of suicide. They certainly aren’t allowed to fall in love with mortals. Which the journal claims Tom’s grandfather did, resulting in his expulsion from the Sary. As strange as the journal seems, Tom can’t get the stories out of his head; especially when he finds the photo of his grandfather’s wings.
Tom’s only distraction is Ari, the girl he studies with for their chemistry class.
Ari has one goal when she arrives in town: see how much Tom knows about the Sary and neutralize the situation. This isn’t a normal job, but protecting the secrecy of the Sary is vital. If Tom is a threat to exposing the Sary to the public, fate has a way of taking care of the situation, usually ending with the mortal’s death. While Ari spends time with Tom, he becomes more than just an assignment, but how far can a relationship go when she can’t tell him who she really is? When she finds out just how much Tom actually knows about the Sary, Ari is forced to choose between her wings, and her heart.
THE CHEMISTRY OF FATE is a companion to COLORS LIKE MEMORIES and is set before the latter takes place. (Check it out on GoodReads!)
Pick up a copy at: Amazon, MuseItUp Publishing, iBooks, and Barnes and Noble.
Excerpt:
Chapter One
Tom
“They
are everywhere, can be anyone, and are always the last person you’d expect.”
I
should have said the seat was taken before she sat down. I should have gotten
up and moved. But there she was, already getting comfortable, pulling a
notebook from her bag. I couldn’t bring myself to be rude enough to switch to
another spot.
I
was staring; couldn’t help it. She was less than a foot away and fidgeting with
her pen. She glanced up and smiled; the kind of grin that made her eyes scrunch
and told me she’d probably start talking during class. I looked away.
When
she dropped her bag next to her feet, she managed to tip my backpack over in
the process. My assortment of pens skittered under the seats ahead of us,
hiding behind chair legs and other students’ shoes.
“Oh,
sorry!” She hurried to grab what things she could, slender hands reaching under
seats to catch pencils and paperclips.
My
heart almost stopped when she reached for the journal. Why hadn’t I left the stupid
thing at home? Her fingers curled around the edge of the small book, and she
paused for a moment to meet my eyes; I hoped she couldn’t see the panic in mine.
It hadn’t fallen open, but I didn’t even want her touching my grandfather’s
notebook. Or any of my stuff for that matter but especially that.
I
snatched it from her outstretched hand, knowing my reaction was going to draw
more attention, but I couldn’t help it. I buried it back in my bag.
“Thanks,”
I said, taking the small pile of school-related detritus from her. Carefully, I
stowed them away, making sure the pens all faced in the same direction.
“No
problem. Sorry I dumped it all over the place. These rows are so narrow.” She
tried to smile, but it wavered and fell from her lips.
The
professor started class with a thump on his microphone, and I turned my
attention to his lecture. The only way to keep up in this class was to write
down everything and pray it all fit together later. It was going to be a
miracle if I passed chemistry this semester. Normally science classes were my
strong point, but the way this class was taught made it seem like some foreign
language with no translation.
After
half an hour, the professor had to hunt through his papers for some missing
notes, leaving us all hanging half-way through an explanation. My eyes wandered
to my bag and the slight bulge the old book made, reminding me it was still
there, still confusing me.
I
should have left it at home, but leaving it behind didn’t feel right. It bugged
me, kind of like the feeling that maybe I’d left my stove on. So I carried it
around, taking it out when I had a minute, trying to decipher the meaning of what
my grandfather wrote.
It
didn’t help that every word it contained unnerved me.
About the author:
Meradeth’s never been a big fan of talking about herself, but if you really want to know, here are some random tidbits about her:
She’s a Northern California girl, but now lives and teaches anthropology in Montana.
When she’s not writing, she’s sequencing dead people’s DNA. For fun!
When she’s not writing, she’s sequencing dead people’s DNA. For fun!
She’s been writing since she was 11 years old. It's her hobby, her passion, and she’s so happy to get to share her work!
If she could have a super-power, it would totally be flying. Which is a little strange, because she’s terrified of heights.
