Elixir Bound by Katie L. Carroll

I'm so thrilled to host one of my publishing sister's blog tour stops. Elixir Bound by Katie Carroll is published through MuseItUp Publishing (where my first book was published!) and has recently been made available in both print and e-book formats.

I have to say, when I read Katie's bio it was an inspiration to me. Katie began writing at a very sad time in her life after her 16-year-old sister, Kylene, unexpectedly passed away. Since then writing has taken her to many wonderful places...

Help Write the Ending...

Okay, everyone, here's a photo of what I'm working on today and I need YOUR help.

What type of ending do you picture for the final installment of PODs? Do you think one (or more) of the characters will find their family alive, and, if so, who? Or do you think the characters should create their own happy ending together on their own? Let me know...I want to know what you think should happen!! Comment or email me at Michelle @ Michelle-Pickett (.) com

Cover Reveal: Daughter of Isis, by Kelsey Ketch
I'm thrilled to participate in the cover reveal of Kelsey Ketch's debut novel, The Daughter of Isis! I'm really intrigued by this book. There are a lot of books on mythology, but not many based on Egyptian mythology. I am looking forward to seeing how Kelsey spins her tale around the Gods and Goddess of ancient Egypt.
“Her mouth parted slightly, waiting for Seth to breathe life into her own body, just like in the story. She wanted him to awaken her senses.”
