I've just published my first novel for kids called Noah Zarc: Mammoth Trouble. Here's the jacket copy:

Noah lives for piloting spaceships through time, dodging killer robots and saving Earth’s animals from extinction. Life couldn’t be better. However, the twelve-year-old time traveler soon learns it could be a whole lot worse. His mom is abducted and taken to thirty-first century Mars; his dad becomes stranded in the Ice Age; and Noah is attacked at every turn by a foe bent on destroying a newly habitable, post apocalyptic Earth.

Traveling through time in the family’s immense spaceship, Noah, a paraplegic from birth, must somehow care for the thousands of animals on board, while finding a way to rescue his parents. Along the way, he discovers his mother and father aren’t who he thought they were, and there is strength inside him he didn’t know he had.


I'd love to get some reviews here on Goodreads, on Amazon, or any other website blog you frequent.

This sounds great! How long is the book?

It's about 60k words, which translates in paperback to about 300 pages, but that's with a pretty big font.

Do you think it is something I could read outloud to my kids or my daughter who is 8 could read on her own?
If so, I would love to review it for you!

Yes, either way. Do you want me to send you an eBook copy? I could send you a .mobi if that'd work. Or I have lots of other versions too.

Sure! my email is cambriahebert@rocketmail.com

I have an e-reader but it supporrts Epub or PDF, not mobi. Do you have either one of those?

Hello, Robert -

Just a quick question - would you be able to send me an actual book? or is it just in eReader format?

Patricia

Patricia, I can't send an actual book, but I could send in PDF form. You could read this on your computer.

Yes, Robert, I definitely can receive pdf format - my preference is being able to wander around with a book! My estimate of reading and posting a review is mid to late September, based on my current queue. If that is ok please let me know. My email address is:

Thank you for this review opportunity, Robert. Looking forward to reading your book.

Sent via email. Let me know if you don't get it.

I really appreciate it!

When my to read list dwindles, I would definitely love to read this. I hate taking on any new books now with no guarantee on when I would be able to get them read.

I think it looks wonderful though!

Amy, If you want to give me your email now, I can send you an eBook copy. Then when you get to it, you get to it.

Let me know what format you prefer.

Thanks!

MOBI would be fantastic! You are great! Thanks so much!

Amy,

Thanks for the offer. I've sent you a copy. Let me know if you don't get it, or have trouble with the file.

I got it!! And I got it to open...NO PROBLEMS! Thank you!!

I could have sworn I responded to this already... Anyway, I am kinda in the same boat as Amy, but I love books I can share with my kids! If you're interested in getting on my list :-), you can send a mobi to me at gatheringleavesreviews@gmail.com.

Thanks!

Cassie, I think I asked you on your website if you would be interested in reviewing it. Before you had all this peer pressure you said no ;-) Of course you said it much more nicely than that. I'd love to hear what your kids think of the book. I'll shoot you an email with the mobi.

Thank you.
