Hello,

I would love to know what you think about my Sounthern Gothic novel, Low Time in Arcadia.

Synopsis -- Low Time in Arcadia is the story of Lilly "Lil Bit" Dalton who, looking back on life, recounts the years between the ages of ten and thirteen spent in the care of the woman she considers to be her grandmother, "Bubbah," and this woman's alcoholic son, Bobby. The novel chronicles Lil Bit’s initial struggle to reunite with her mother “Violet,” then her resignation at having to make the best of a situation at times both comic and heartbreaking. The story unfolds in the segregated, yet highly colorful waterway community of Arcadia, Florida, in the early 1950s.

Thanks!

Free copies to anyone interested in reviewing my new YA steampunk novella, Unforeseen!

Miyako is that rarest of teenage girls in Japan, circa 1915: a Samurai warrior. As technology and war spreads throughout the west, threatening the isolated Japanese way of life, the Shogun -- who rules for the Silent Emperor -- seeks the key to the nation's survival. Miyako's first solo mission takes her through a mysterious portal into a world of bizarre dangers and exciting temptations, where clockwork robots serve their masters and the very air itself can kill.

This is a stand-alone novella set in The Empires of Steam and Rust universe created by Robert E. Vardeman.

Hello,
I'm hoping for reviews for D.N.A.-Nothing Would Ever Be The Same. This is a YA which has been widely accepted and read by many of all ages this includes includes males. I can give PDF or a coupon from Smashwords.
Summary:
On the night before a planned family vacation, Debney is inexplicably excluded. After a bitter argument with her mother at being barred from family vacations, especially one so close to her eighteenth birthday, Debney arranges a romantic dinner with her long time crush. During the chaos of dinner turned teen party, she learns of the death of her family. Yes, sometimes relationships in families end tragically. People leave; parents die, and lives change. But does it all have to bring out the skeletons in the closet?

Debney Nichole Armstrong thought she knew everything about her family. She knew her dad worked hard at everything, except building a relationship with his family. She knew her younger brothers were typical little kids, and she knew her mother, for some unknown reason, disliked her first born and only daughter.

What she really needed to know was did her mother contribute to the ‘accident’? Who is the man repeatedly mentioned in her mother’s journals? Where were the bodies of her ten year old twin brothers, and who is the father of the child she now carries? No matter what the answers are, Debney knows, nothing will ever be the same.

I have two YA books that I would to offer for review. They are both in the Wee People series but can read as stand alone novels. I can send Smashwords coupons or mobi/epub files to you.

The first is "Gerald and the Wee People"
Gerald and his best friend, Vernon discover a mysterious spot in the woods where Gerald visualizes a miniature village complete with wee inhabitants. He enjoys going back to that spot and watching the day to day activities until trouble starts in the village and he tries to convince Vernon that the "visions" are real and the wee people need help.
While trying to prove that the whole thing is just Gerald's wild imagination, the boys literally fall into the new world and get caught up in a war. The boys come up with ways to keep the invading force from entering the village but another solution has to be found in order to put an end to the conflict.
Along with a few companions from the village, Gerald and Vernon embark on a quest to face down the deranged forest god who instigated the mayhem. The dangerous path is laid out by an ancient prophecy, but not everything goes as planned.

The second is "House on Bo-Kay Lane"
Gerald and Vernon believe their time with the wee people came to an end after they returned to their home world but begin to wonder when strange things started to happen at an abandoned house in their neighborhood. Ghostly images of familiar faces from the wee people village are seen in the windows, echoes of voices from the past haunt the boys’ dreams and an undeniable curiosity draws Gerald and Vernon to investigate the mysterious haunted house. What they find takes them back to the world of the wee people and a new adventure begins.
In "House on Bo-Kay Lane", a mirror is found in a forgotten room in the far-seers’ training center. Sheela, a far-seer master and Alyson, an apprentice firestarter are unwillingly drawn into the depths of the mirror and wind up in the abandoned house on Bo-Kay Lane. Sheela uses her telepathic skills to enlist the aid of Gerald, Vernon and Gerald’s father, Andrew to help find the way back to the world of the wee people.
That problem resolved, they try to unravel the secrets of the mirror and find that it is a portal between their two worlds, as well as to a time in the future and possibly even to a parallel universe. They also discover that someone is trapped inside the mirror and the decision has to be made as to whether or not to help the trapped soul escape the confines of the portal.
Meanwhile, the wee people discover the origins of their world. That knowledge is not well accepted and leads to discord between them and the outworlders, Gerald, Andrew and Vernon. An uneasy truce paves the way to an understanding and acceptance of the unwelcome facts and eventually to a solution of how to deal with the man in the mirror.

Reality Challenged

Hello,

I've just recently published my new YA Paranormal Romance novel and I'm looking for reviews. The title of the book is, Demon Wings, The Fires of a Nightmare, and it's the first book in the Demon Wings series.

Here's the synopsis:

An obsession that has lasted through-out the centuries …

Twenty year-old Lilianna Mason is the reincarnation of Ysmay, a woman who, long ago, was the object of desire for the powerful demon lord, Darcamius. Unaware of her past life, Lilianna ignores a certain nightmare involving a hypnotizing demon in an inferno, but when she see a familiar looking man at the coffee shop where she works, she begins to worry about reality and her mental health. Time isn’t in Lilianna’s favor, and when the evil demon finally presents himself to her, she’s saved by his half-demon son, Seth, who will stop at nothing to protect her from his father. Will Lilianna and Seth outrun Darcamius, or will the demon triumph, and finish what he started hundreds of years ago?

If anyone is interested, please let me know by messaging me with your email address and I will email you a free copy of the kindle ebook version.

Thank you!

Hello there!

My name is C.E. Wilson and I have just released a new Young Adult book entitled "Five Seven Five". It is the first of a two book series called "The Boy With Words" and I'm looking for bloggers, reviewers or readers to read and review this book! Please check out the summary below if interested:

When eighteen-year-old White Frost has the only light in her life suddenly extinguished, she has no choice but to find out what lies beyond her world of darkness. Thanks to cryptic collections of words given to her by her cousin, she knows that something different lies beyond the borders of her home, but nothing could have prepared her for the truth. Suddenly, she’s bombarded with a world that doesn’t seem sized to fit her, colors brighter than anything she’d ever imagined, and a being who may or may not be the Creator of her people.
Meet Kestrel – a lonely college freshman who is just trying to get an ‘A’ in his poetry class when he happens upon a legend from the past.
The two soon form a bond based on White’s desire to obtain knowledge and Kes’ unexplainable ability to dispense it through a black box he calls a cell phone. Their friendship continues to grow, but White wonders if her newfound information will come at a price. She isn’t supposed to be in this place and she’s certainly not supposed to be hanging out with a Creator – despite his humanlike appearance. Is it possible that these two are more alike than they ever thought possible? Or is White Frost better off staying safely in her own world, hidden in the shadows, where blues skies and green grass are nothing more than sloppily written words on crumpled pages?

I can provide ebook copies from Amazon, it is FREE on Kindle Unlimited or paperbacks are available if you live in the United States. Please just drop me a line! Otherwise, have a wonderful day!

Hi, I am looking for reviews for my new release. It is upper Middle Grade/younger YA. Set in Ireland, it is a mystery adventure with paranormal and environmental themes. It is Book 2 in The Adventures of George & Flanagan series, but I think can stand alone without any problems. If you are interested, please let me know! Here is the blurb:
Who couldn't resist the lure of a treasure map and the prospect of untold riches?
But, as George and Flanagan are about to discover, treasure hunting is a dangerous business. The stakes couldn't be higher as Tam McMaster, local bigwig and 'first man of Ballymagee', plans to build a new property development exactly where 'X' marks the spot. Can George and Flan stop the development and save the treasure? And, more importantly, can they stop the destruction of a beauty spot that is a safe haven to Ballymagee's wildlife?
Along the way, George must convince Katie and Dougie to help him battle his own demons as the curse of the mysterious White Lady strikes again.

Hello, readers & fellow authors!

My name is Alex Rodriguez. I'm an indie author looking for reviews for my first book Lapse! My book is best suitable for those who enjoy YA, time travel, sci fi or romance. Any other readers are welcome! I’d gladly send a free copy in exchange for an honest review. The novel is currently available in a PDF or ePub file. Please get in touch with which format you prefer.

The synopsis is as follows:

Nora knows the rules.

Find the time marker, never reveal the secrets of the universe, don't get involved in the time marker's lives.

However, in nearly every single life cycle, they're paired together, when it comes to Mason, she breaks all the rules again and again.

She found him when he was twelve. In high school, Nora taught him his place in the universe. And their lives were thoroughly intertwined-now more than ever.

Despite her mistakes, Nora's job was easy enough, until everything took a sharp turn. Mason is angry with her, with the universe telling her who she ought to be. Nora knows her role, and what that responsibility means. She isn't about to start questioning why things are the way they are, though in her heart her efforts are beginning to unfurl a fog over her judgment.

To add to their cosmic dysfunction, Mason and Nora are only one time warp away from being discovered by time travelers, who would like nothing more than to see Mason restart a life cycle, or thrown out of time completely...
