Color Blind
Color Blind # 1
Genre- YA paranormal
By- Penny Miller
All her life Harmony Phillips has felt defective. Growing up in a paranormal community where magikal abilities come from the wavelengths of color, a color blind girl is worthless, and they haven't let her forget it. No one but her adoptive parents, Charlie a Were-Lion and Sarah a Witch, along with her best friend Tesch, a Siren, have ever given her an ounce of esteem. When a fit of outrage unlocks the color yellow to her eyes, Harmony passes out cold with shock over her eggs and accidentally glamours her nemesis Challen Parks into a cowardly golden retriever. As other colors unfold before her eyes, so do new abilities. Love and friendship get turned upside down as Harmony struggles to have faith in people, discovering they are not always as they seem. The misfit becomes the outlaw as she is once again different from everyone else. What began as joy turns to peril when the paranormal Council finds out she is more than a Witch, or a Were or a Fae... oh my.

Please share your idea of the perfect soundtrack to ‘Color Blind’ with us
A soundtrack tells a story just as much as the written words. It isn’t just background noise. Does anyone here think the effect would be the same in those hair raising, nail biting moments of the movie Jaws, if we didn't hear that creeping, ominous sounding music just before the shark strikes? Would we be as gung-ho and on the edge of our seats, ready for action in Stars Wars or Indiana Jones if those epic trumpets didn’t signal the battle at hand? I doubt it.
The perfect soundtrack for Color Blind would have to be young sounding music. There would be a lot of energizing, fun, pounding rhythm. Harmony and Tesch are young people at the start of their story. They haven't yet had a lot of experience with the darker side of human nature and while of course they know what it is to be angry about something, they are not ticked off at the world. At least, not yet. Ha ha ha ha.
I would imagine there would be bands like Fall Out Boy, Five Seconds of Summer, Twenty-One Pilots, Walk the Moon and Andy Grammer.
But Harmony is not like other people in more than one way so I think there would be a touch of underground and less mainstream music, Like the Vaccines, Lost Frequencies, Echosmith and Florence and The Machine, maybe some Sia.
There also moments of tenderness and loss.
I made this playlist for Color Blind on Spotify.Rather than tell you all the songs, I’d rather share them with you. It a free app and has lots of great music. Enjoy!
About the Author-
Penny Miller is a born and bred Oklahoman. She has a nursing degree from Eastern Penny Miller Oklahoma State College and is a Registered Nurse in addition to being an author. Penny wrote her first short story complete with illustrations when she was seven-years-old and has been writing ideas and bits of dialogue ever since. As a child, her mother regularly read to her classic faery tales. It was those stories that ignited her imagination and attraction to the magical and whimsical. With her three children Robert, Amy and Cheyenne, she carried on the tradition of introducing them to fantasy and other worlds through stories. Three years ago, she co-authored erotic romance e-books under the pseudonym Jp Archer. At that time her daughters asked her when she was going to write stories they could read. Penny went to her keyboard and dug in and her debut solo novel, Color Blind, was born. Most importantly, creating a story in the Young
Adult/Paranormal genre is where she found her true voice as a writer. She hopes readers will become fans of her heroine Harmony Phillips and follow her story through the next phases; Colorful and Colorless.
