Gene Bans | 6 comments Congratulations, Marie! Tell us about your books! Mine, Sips of Hemlock, was just released as well, and is about two teachers in the future, navigating a changed educational environment, which affects their personal lives. There’s action, romance, loss, and gain. I’m told it’s a page-turner.

Please tell me about one or more of your reads.

Bruce Smith | 12 comments Hi Everyone. My name is Bruce Smith, and I've recently self-published my first book, "The Answers Lie in Africa." I'd love to get some reviews and feedback. Thanks for your support.
Below is a short blurb.

Is the past ever truly forgotten?

Fiona Truscott has spent twenty years avoiding the truth about her family’s past. But when new evidence surfaces suggesting that her great-grandfather, Finn Beckett, was wrongfully accused of serious crimes in South Africa, she can no longer turn away. With her husband, Karl, by her side, she embarks on a perilous journey to the heart of Africa, determined to uncover the truth about her ancestors—and about her own parents’ mysterious deaths.
Hunted and harassed from their first day in Africa, things soon take a deadly turn as they uncover long hidden secrets. Fiona must summon the courage to face them head-on. Will she find the answers, or will the past remain forever buried?
Join Fiona and Karl on their harrowing journey as they experience captivating safaris, luxury rail travel, and culinary delights in this gripping tale of family, history, and the unbreakable bonds that tie us to our past. The Answers Lie in Africa is a journey of discovery you won’t forget.

The Answers Lie in Africa: Can you bury the past?
The Answers Lie in Africa is a gripping historical mystery/thriller that follows Fiona Truscott as she journeys to South Africa to clear her great-grandfather’s name from a century-old scandal. As she digs into the past, Fiona finds herself entangled in a web of secrets, danger, and betrayal, set against a rich backdrop of safaris, luxury rail travel, and the echoes of colonial intrigue.

Bruce Smith | 12 comments Thanks! The story was inspired by a trip to Africa that I made in 2023. As a debut author, breaking through can be tough, but I’m hoping to spark some interest—and ultimately, earn a few positive reviews along the way. Any and all help is appreciated :)

Reader | 1 comments I wanted to recommend an incredible book to you—"Leona’s Blues" by Katina Roebuck. It’s such an engaging read that delves into themes of resilience, friendship, and love. The plot follows a remarkable woman on her quest to find herself and pursue happiness despite the challenges life presents. Trust me, it’s a mesmerizing book that will surely leave you eager for more! Let me know if you choose to give it a read!

Hunter H. | 9 comments Treasures of the Lochs
I'm also a first-time author. Treasures of the Lochs is suspenseful YA Christian fiction, involving a modern-day treasure hunt in Scotland, with a bit of supernatural thrown in. Blending historical fact and Scottish legend within an action-packed adventure, Treasures of the Lochs is a powerful story of faith, friendship, and redemption. The target audience is teenage and above (some parts would be too intense for younger readers). This book is a 2024 NIEA Finalist in Religion Fiction. It also hit Amazon#1 New Release for Christian Fantasy. I hope you'll consider it. Thanks.

Nilton (niltonventura) | 2 comments Hey everyone! 👋 I’m excited to share that I’m a new author, and my first book, There’s Such a Thing as Too Much Information, is now available on Amazon KDP. It’s a collection of 52 humorous short stories about the everyday chaos of modern life—like getting lost in browser tabs, overplanning trips, or bingeing on random trivia at 2 AM. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by too much information, this book might just make you laugh and feel less alone.
