Tuesday #Teaser - My Name is A'yen by @racheleighgeek #scifi #romance #giveaway

Thanks so much for having me, Pippa! I’ve picked one of my favorite scenes to share, from around the midpoint of the book. I had a ton of fun writing it. A’yen is teaching Fae how to swim. She grew up on a desert planet and never learned. A’yen grew up on a planet known throughout the galaxy for its beautiful lakes, and swimming is one of his favorite things.

“I’m scared.” Whispered words, almost lost in the melody of water and birdsong. Three steps and he stood in front of her, pulled her han...

The One with the TARDIS and the Grassy Knoll - by @SofiaGreyAuthor #timetravel #romance #giveaway

Why do we get so passionate about time travel stories? Is it the idea of people getting a peek into the past (sometimes the very distant past), or the excitement of getting to see what lies ahead?
If you could travel in time, where would you go? Back to revisit your own memories? Or to observe other people - or famous events?
In an episode of the sci-fi comedy, Red Dwarf, Kryten suggests: "We could go to Dallas in November 1963, stand on the grassy knoll, and shout Duck! "

Or further back? I g...

An Out-of-this-world Summer Summer

[image error]


A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Sorry, I just couldn't resist that intro! Hi, I'm Pippa Jay, author of scifi and the supernatural with a romantic soul. I do have stories set on Earth, but mostly I write SF, so summers take place on alien worlds where the seasons and the setting may not be anything like we experience here. For one of my young heroes, a summer party may not seem so out-of-this-world at first glance. But then, the party has only just begun...

Tuesday #Teaser - Lila's Wolf by @SofiaGreyAuthor #timetravel

Excerpt:
Marc returned an hour later, tapping quietly on the door in the signal we’d established. Two swift knocks. Pause. One more. Pause. Then another two. I threw back the bolt and practically fell upon him, needing the comfort of another person. Needing his touch. He gave a short, pleased laugh and pulled me firmly into his arms, while sliding the bolt back into place.“It’s okay. They didn’t see me.” He draped one arm around my waist, the other across my shoulders. I felt his fingers strok...

#Cover Wrap #Reveal - Dead New World by Ryan Hill (@j_ryan) #zombies #YA

Check out the cover wrap for the upcoming YA zombie novel, DEAD NEW WORLD, from author Ryan Hill (THE BOOK OF BART)! October 13 zombies aren't mindless anymore.



Blurb:
Zombies aren’t mindless anymore.

Before the world fell into chaos, the undead existed only in the imagination. Now, more of them walk the earth than living. Zombies move about freely, while humans entomb themselves inside concrete barricades to stay alive. 

All that, while the leader of a powerful cult - known only as Reverend...
