Silver Rain's Blog

I’m in the process of doing some rebranding and improving on my work. The most immediate change is the reworking of Easier to Run as Stricken. Why? Because I’ve learned a ton in the year since I published. So, I’m making a few minor tweaks as well as trying new ways to reach a broader audience–like WattPad!

Right now, you can read the first 6 chapters completely free! All you have to do is head over to find Stricken: Asphalt Cowboys #1. (I bet that series title gives you another idea of things to come).

Tell me what you think! Add it to your reading lists. And please vote for the chapters and share with your friends.❤

Title: FREAK OUT
Author: Ella Emerson

Release Date: August 20th





Synopsis:



As we fell in love with Freak in the prequel, Find out where Freak and Chelsea’s story takes them in this complete standalone novel. 



Have you ever met someone who turned everything you knew inside out? That’s what it was like when Freak Phillips and I really met for the first time. 





This roller coaster ride he had me on was making me question myself. Making me do things I had never dreamed of. So out of character, so unlike me. 





Better yet, I was liking it. 



But, little did I know what he had in store for me was unlike anything I could have ever imagined. 



Freak wasn’t exactly what I had envisioned. Furthermore, could I picture myself with him in a relationship? 



Wild, exciting, and completely deranged come and fall in love with the mystery that is Freak Phillips.

Like any reader, as soon as I finished reading, I wrote my review. When I tried posting it on Amazon (I did buy the eBook, just like any normal and decent human being would), I received a rather concerning email.

I will not share the screenshot of the email as it does contain the title of the book and name of the author. In its place I have copied the body of the email below.

Thanks to Collector of Book Boyfriends for posting on the Book Blitz!! Here’s a little bit of the interview they included. If you’d like to see the whole thing, visit the link at the bottom of this post!

Ben: Hello everyone! I’m Ben from Silver Rain’s new novel EASIER TO RUN. Since this is the week our story releases, Silver asked Cassie and me to do a quick interview. Ready Cassie?

Cassie: *thumbs up*

Ben: You know you don’t get to avoid talking while I’m around. Question 1: What was your life like growing up?

Cassie: Of course I would get that one. My life w-was pretty awesome until I was fifteen. When I was five, this boy moved in next door who taught me all about football, and never once m-made fun of my stutter. Our families became close, and t-took us to Florida to swim with Manatees when I was twelve.

Ben: I think the purpose of Florida was Disney World.

Cassie: Small potatoes. My turn. Question 2: When you were a child, what was the w-worst thing you did and how did your parents punish you for it?

Ben: When I was twelve—

Cassie: Oh geez.

Thanks to Books Movies Fandoms for one of my first EASIER TO RUN reviews!!

ARC-Book Review! One Blogging Reader’s ARC Review after reading ‘Easier To Run’ by Silver Rain.

SYNOPSIS

“He took my world by storm with four simple words ‘I’m your new neighbor.’ I was only five at the time, but I couldn’t look away from the older boy staring at me through the hole in our back yard fence. In my mind, he was mine from that moment, but I knew that could never happen.

When I was fifteen, I learned that things that should never happen can sweep in and rip your entire life to shreds.

I lost everything.

I lost him….”

Six years after tragedy changed Cassie’s life forever, she continues to yearn for that one thing that will make her feel whole–the boy she was taken away from. The boy who had stood by her side and defended her at every turn. The boy whose shoulder she cried on when her parents died, after her sister committed suicide, during her testimony against her brother-in-law.

With her past a heavy burden that sits on her chest, threatening to suffocate her every night, she somehow finds the strength to go back and face it. To finally go back and find the man who might make her heart beat again and ease the dead pain she feels inside.

But six years can change people, and their relationship can never be the same.
