Support!

Hello to my 26 followers!

I truly appreciate you if you're reading this!
If you have the time, I would love for you to check out my website.

I recently just made it on Site123 but wasn't sure if there were any better website makers out there. If you have any recommendations that are free (I'm a broke college student that can't afford a monthly subscription), please comment or email me!

Here is the website:
https://6653c4b5c214d.site123.me/

I would love for you to also join my mailing list as I'm not very active on Goodreads.

And of course, I'm always looking for reviewers or readers. If you are interested in reading my debut trilogy, Engine's Game, feel free to let me know and I can send you some copies! Here is the first book in the series: Madness

Thank you!

JUST PUBLISHED!

Hello everyone!

I'm so excited to announce that I've just published my second book, Havoc! It's available on Goodreads/ Amazon as well as Amazon Select (KU). If you're interested in reading and reviewing, please contact me through my email (I will provide Madness if you haven't read the first installment):

Paityn.Parque@gmail.com

As of now, Havoc is only available in Ebook format, but Paperback format will come soon (I'm just getting proof copies to make sure there are no printing papers before it goes live). Havoc is currently listed on Goodreads, but there are some technical difficulties with the cover image.

Thank you so much for all of your support! Please share the word!

Here is the Amazon link:

Excerpt from new sequel, Havoc!

Surprise!

As some might know, I've been working on the sequel for Madness. I'm so close to finishing, and if you would like to see my book cover reveal, check out my Instagram page @paitynparque

I can't wait for the release. This is going to be crazy!!

Here's a small excerpt from chapter 36, Shadow's POV:

"An officer was suddenly tossed in the air. And unlike her, he didn’t have anything to save him from the impact.
His gun went skidding towards her, and his body was thrown against a large tree like a ragdoll. The grisly sound of his spine being crushed reminded her all too well of when Shadow encountered one of the strongest teams in the Battles. She had watched a player get thrown against a tree by an unseen force. She had heard their spine break, their cries that ended wetly as the life instantly left their body.
Shadow gulped back the itchy feeling in her throat that she was in some deep shit.
Gunshots roused the air. Shadow was helpless to watch the horrid scene unfold before her. Men were tossed in the air like nothing, all sharing the same fate of death.
The hungry tendrils circling around the van acted as godly hands. They tossed men in the air, and even pierced some through the heart.
She heard the screams. She heard the gunshots. She heard the cries for help and the wet gurgle of blood.
She’s heard all of it, seen it, experienced it, even.
But this had no business being different. This had no business rattling her soul and making her want to run—not to run for the safety of her life—but to run away in fear. She shook with it.
Was this what the Battles did to her?
Or was this the sheer power of the drug? Was the drug her enemy, or was the man that used it her enemy?
Shadow didn’t know at this point."

I'm still looking for some beta-readers, so if you would love to receive an ARC copy, please email me at paityn.parque@gmail.com

Thank you all for the support and love!

Nominated for the 2022 Reader's Choice Award!

Hello everyone!

I'm so proud to announce my book was nominated for the 2022 Reader's Choice Awards by TCK Publishing Industries!

Please, please, please go vote for me!

The book is under the Science Fiction Category, and I'm competing against two other books!

Here's the link to vote (the voting system is a bit weird since they've had scammers in the past with voting. You'll just have to enter an email to verify you're human, or you can log in through Facebook and Twitter. They do not use your email for spams or messages).

Beta readers!

I need Beta Readers for my sequel to Madness! I think I'm going to call the sequel Havoc, but that may be subject to change. I'm a bit at stake here because I'm about 75% done with the first draft, but I don't know how to continue/end the second book. It's not going to be the end of the series, either.

So, if you're interested, please email me at paityn.parque@gmail.com with the subject "Beta Reader" so that I know you would like to read!

Please, if you haven't read the first book, I highly recommend it. I'll be happy to offer digital copies so that you could read in order.
