Since I am not self-published, I have no control over free books but I can send out review copies for anyone who wants to review them.
This book is literary erotica and something quite unique.

[Jennifer]

[Leslie]

I nominate

I just finished reading it as part of the ARR read and I thought it was a great read.

[Patricia]

I nominate my novel, Is This All There Is? which is getting great reviews! It's the story of a wife, mother, and professor who is tempted to risk it all for a passionate fling with a student. Very contemporary and very real. So many women have said they've found themselves in similar situations. Review excerpt by an LA Times writer: “Honest & moving, one woman’s struggle to keep up appearances while coming undone.” Is This All There Is?

[Kate]

Nomination: Adrift in the Sound by Kate Campbell
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14...

Popular goodreads reviewer Adam James, Missoula Montana had this to say about Adrift in the Sound: This story was a privilege to read--a true gift. Thank you, Kate.

Right off, the floor fell away and I was adrift--no stopping, no turning back. It was like walking through a doorway and it was forty years ago.

This gripping story of personal struggle is set against the turbulence of the seventies. But this is no Love In. This is hard-boiled, in-your-face writing, and Kate Campbell pulls no punches. It reads like memoir, but really it is fiction shot through with the stinging clarity of truth.

If you lived through the era, you'll recognize the characters--adrift on the emotional roller coaster that racked and paralyzed the nation. This is the story of all of us--those who "made" it, those who fell and those struggling today with truth and justice in their search for the American Way.

[Faith]

I nominate 'Darkness on a Pale Blue Stone' by DT Peterson. It's teh best book I've read off this group so far. :)

[Kevin]

I would like to nominate my second novel, Precipice: The Beginning, for book of the month.


Precipice The Beginning by Kevin J. Howard

The End is only the Beginning....

It wasn't the first time Lieutenant Travis Daniels had been far from his wife and son. Leading an elite team on countless missions, dodging death at every turn--it was what he was trained to do. And returning to his family was always his driving force... but this time might be different. Imprisoned for an unsanctioned intrusion into a hot zone, Travis and his elite team took a deal to assist in the colonization of Mars to evade the death penalty. While stationed there, Travis' only source of sanity were the brief video conversations he was allowed with his family. When the last transmission received showed choppy images of the city in darkness and blurs of humanoid creatures running through the streets, Travis and his team must decide to either stay on Mars or find a way back to his family--unknowing of the hell that Earth has become.

[John]

I would like to nominate my own The Seven Gifts - described by a London Publisher as:
"One of those unique and wonderful manuscripts that come one's way all too rarely"

The Seven Gifts came to Earth and lay dormant, unseen, like seeds in an empty desert. Then the rains came, as an Angel bearing seven mysterious books. Woven within them, far from the eye of a casual reader, were the simple truths of The Seven Gifts. The Angel chose a young boy to reveal them: to endure a wild, spiritual odyssey through seven arcane and bizarre worlds, in pursuit of a lonely white dolphin - the final link to the wonder of the seven gifts; and the enigma of the Angel, and the mystery of himself. And perhaps the mystery of us...

"Beautifully written tales that capture the mind, heart and spirit" - LL Book Review
"Walks that fine line between profound and insane" - Inkweaver Review
"It is really a wonderful, unique book" - Zuzka Vašíčková

I nominate Isabel's Awakening as June book of the month! It is a great read and I could hardly put this romance down. As the story goes on the characters develop and change illustrating depth of understanding by the author, T.D. Hassett. I highly recommend this book.
