Advanced Copies for Review & Book Giveaways discussion

Hello, my name is Zach and I would be honored to read and review your book! A few notes about me:

1. You can call me Zach or Zachary, I have no preference.
2. I'm Jewish, and always looking for more representation, particularly in the young adult-orientated books.
3. My preferred book types include but are not limited to young adult, middle grade, urban fantasy, science fiction, paranormal fantasy, romantic comedies, humorous novels, and mysteries.
4. I would prefer to not read books with explicit content, such as open door romances or intensely gory scenes.
5. I work as a library page and every day is a joy.
6. I am a very fast reader, often going through multiple books in a day.
7. My favorite authors include A. Lee Martinez, Lish McBride, Seanan McGuire, and Eoin Colfer.

Hi Zack,
I'm looking for Amazon reviews for my Literary Titan Award winning collection of four modern fables The Red Grouse Tales .

The blurb;
With universal appeal and charm, these very different, adult/young adult, speculative, spiritual and philosophical tales will intrigue and entertain. Beautiful and atmospheric imagery, surreal and paranormal concepts of angels, ghosts and devils, they will have you guessing, turning the pages and looking forward to the next one. The four tales are:-
The Little Dog – a story of good and evil and retribution.
The Golden Tup - a dreadful tale of paradise being cruelly taken by latent evil.
The Crow - a poignant tale of misunderstanding, dying, bitterness and blame.
The White Hart - a happy ghost story, if there can be such a thing!
So, I hope, something for everyone in this collection.
The book is currently on a $0.99 offer, but I'll happily send you a Pdf or mobi file if you'll post on Amazon (all other platforms also welcome!).
Hoping you are interested and looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Zach,

I have digital ARC for my first short story collection "The Fabric Over the Moon". It includes a diverse range of genres such as contemporary fiction, magical realism, mystery, and sci-fi.

-Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09HR3LZQX


The Fabric Over The Moon: 28 short stories from unlikely heroes

Author: Ferran Plana
Publication date: 2nd October 2021
Pages: 158
Word counts: 40000
Target: adult/NA
Mild explicit content (no explicit sex scenes neither violence)

Book blurb:
Stories come alive at night.

They are whispered around dying campfires, by quiet bedsides, under deformed old trees.

They might get interrupted by the howling wind, inaudible gasps, or nervous comments, only to be continued fervently once the dust settles again.

Why did the girl visit the eerie village? What did the gypsy’s words mean? Can the discovery of a new flower change the world?

Stories are supposed to end but they never do.

They leave you wondering and longing for more. They live on in your mind, in corners with cobwebs and memories you’ve been suppressing, in recurring daydreams you have while waiting in long lines. They fester and thrive there. They spiral and soar. You wish they would die but they cannot anymore.

Once you blow breath into a story, it instantly becomes yours...

Ferran

Thank you so much! I have sent a message.

I am an indie author who released my first fantasy novel May 9, and will release the prologue in a week. The sequel will come later this year. Let me know if you have any interest! Thanks!

Fury (23k words) novella prologue:
If you’re looking for a fun, witty fantasy tale wrought with magical creatures, clever plot twists, and a strong female protagonist who will feel like your best friend, then this story is for you.
In an ancient land where myth and magic thrive, one stubborn she-elf named Emma must fight for her life against the powers of darkness, a behemoth squid, and the fury that resides in her own heart. Fury is the prequel novella to the Epic of Faölan series and ends with no cliffhangers, but will give you every reason to dive into reading the rich and fantastical YA novels that follow.

Tempest (103K) first book in series:
Enter Jarlith. Overlooking the sea, Jarlith spots an armada of foreign ships approaching the coast of his village. As soon as Jarlith sees the red sails on the ships, he knows who they are—the enemy. At that exact moment, the tempest begins. Lightning crackles, splitting the stormy skies overhead, as a deadly mix of rain and fire begin falling. Out on the rough seas, waves beat against the approaching enemy ships, but Jarlith understands that no natural force will stop the invading armada. It will be up to Jarlith to save his people. Realizing this compels Jarlith to enlist with the Jakurian guard and unite with an estranged kingdom across the lands of Faölan. Together, they will have a fighting chance of liberating the capital city of Jakuri from this invasion.
Hallis is a forest dweller, and feels a connection to all life around him. But when his best friend, Sapphire, is kidnapped by the invaders, he is forced to leave the solitary life he knew amongst his elfish folk, and venture forth to rescue her. The journey is rife with battles, tricksters, centaurs, giants, and other monsters that Hallis has never before encountered. Soon he is swept up with a roving band of centaurs who are relentless in their aim to re-establish solidarity between tribes and unify all of the species throughout Faölan.
The two stories intertwine and conclude in an epic tale of friendship, betrayal, and romance as Jarlith and Hallis come together to liberate the capital. This stand-alone novel is an action-packed fantasy, full of new creatures, magical abilities, warfare, and intrigue that will leave you wanting more and eager to dive into Book Two of the Epic of Faölan series.

Hi Zach, would you be interested in reading and reviewing my YA dystopian/sci-fi book Ruffian? Here is the synopsis:
Astra Hal is a Ruffian, a member of a secret organization created by the artificial intelligence Sigma, designed to be humanity’s last hope in case all else fails.

Hendric Sanjor is the son of a representative in the United Republic of Global Welfare, the ruling body of the world.

When a virus of unknown origins starts spreading across the planet and Hendric’s family is accused of starting it to gain political advantage, Astra is sent to investigate the issue. When it becomes clear that the accusation is false, the two form an uneasy alliance to hunt down the real perpetrator behind the pandemic. But the puzzles, criminals, and politics they weave through can in no way prepare them for the dark secrets they are about to uncover.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Zach,
Quite by chance I came across this reply of yours, which you obviously had problems sending (aren't computers such fun!) and hence I don't recall seeing. Did we ever conclude this - me sending you the file - because I confess I don't remember it? Do you still want to read and review The Red Grouse Tales? If so, I'll send you a file if you can supply me with an email address (you can contact me via Twitter, if you prefer - https://twitter.com/LeslieWPGarland

Hi Zach, My debut YA.middle grade urban fantasy novel releases on 9/27/22 (today, but I'm happy to have ARC readers post as soon as they can!). THE LOST WITCH is the first book in a 5-book series: HAYDEN BLACK AND THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS.

The Lost Witch (Hayden Black and the Salem Witch Trials, #1) by B.C. Taylor



I've pasted the blurb below, so if you're interested, let me know by responding or emailing me at authorBCtaylor@gmail.com and I'll send you the BookFunnel link. Thank you!!

Five deadly Trials. An ancient, sinister evil.

One lost witch with the power to save the world.

Welcome to Asylum.

Twelve-year-old Hayden Black has never been normal, that much she knew, but when her father is abducted by demons, she learns just how remarkable she truly is. Not only is she a witch, but Heaven’s angels have chosen her as the next Salem Witch, destined to protect the world from evil… if she can survive the deadly Salem Witch Trials first.

Now Hayden must traverse the magical world of Asylum and learn to use her powers. If she doesn’t master all five elements — air, fire, water, earth, and Spirit — before her seventeenth birthday, she forfeits her life.

Hayden might have started her journey orphaned and alone, but it doesn’t take her long to forge new friendships and attract new enemies. Hayden thought her only nemesis was the residential bully, but her greatest enemy, a terrible evil lurking in the shadows, has yet to reveal itself.

Will Hayden master her air magic in time to save her friends and find her father? Or will she perish alongside them?

The Lost Witch is the first book in an urban fantasy series intended for readers ages ten and above who love Percy Jackson and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Hi, Zach,

I’m looking for reviews for my latest book, “Yuri & the Pig” (87,000 words published by Wild Wolf Publishing), a work of fiction based on the current war in Ukraine. However, the countries involved are fictitious, too.

Amazon link: https://mybook.to/ynp

The following is the blurb:

“From the best-selling author of the Charlie Smithers adventures.

A farmer and his pig set off on an extraordinary quest across war-torn Eastern Europe.

Entangled in a savage war, the country of Xoraina is fighting for its very existence; but to Yuri, a simple peasant from a remote mountain village, it seems all but certain that the invading Zlaimperians must ultimately prevail. Not that it is of any consequence to him, of course. In Yuri’s view, every form of government is equally bad, so it makes very little difference who holds the reins of power. Indeed, throughout time, the only things that have ever really mattered are that the soil be tilled, the cows milked, and the pigs shipped to market, all in a timely fashion.

But when an exorbitant new tax threatens that philosophy, he sets off with his pig across the war-ravaged land to the Capital in order to fight the injustice. In the process, their journey becomes a road to a terrible enlightenment, causing Yuri to question his deeply seated beliefs. But only when he and his pig find themselves placed squarely in destiny’s path is there any hope of those questions finding answers.”

If interested, please contact me at clovatt@xplornet.ca and I’ll arrange for you to receive an e-copy in the format you prefer.

Thank you for your time.
