H.A. Dawson (honoradawson) | 1 comments I have a new novel in final edit, currently for identification I have titled it "Sins of the Father" though it may get a new title with some encouragement from some goodreaders! It is a British suspense and no. 5 in my Luke Adams Series. All my stories involve women with strong identities and, of course a crisis that requires some help from private detectives Luke and Imogen. Each story's circumstances vary greatly, enhancing the impact of the themes I adopt.

Hi Kelly

I am sure this is a gripping read, but being a school teacher it touches on a topic I don't really read. Perhaps, others here will give it a go.

All the best,
Vanessa

K.A. Lentz (kalentz) My debut novel, The Reaper Realm: Threads of Compassion, needs a few brave souls to give it a chance and discover their love for the book's story. It's an epic fantasy fiction, mainly set in an alternate realm.

What's it about?
The book revolves mainly around Miach and Thistle; two souls drawn into an epic struggle for existence. Miach, once a man who fought and died in the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, now exists as a reaped soul whose bound to an elven body, unwillingly carrying out the will of a ruthless reaper. Thistle, a human from our time and realm, is spirited away by Miach at his master's command. Brought together by fate, Thistle and Miach learn of their importance to one another and the role each must play in the realm's future destruction.

Pyhe, a gnome from the eighth-realm boasting powerful magic, befriends Miach and Thistle as he works to rally others in the fight for existence. A pair of wood-elves, Kaiyssa and Tahlan, get caught in the battle by means of loss. Tahlan was once a twin before his brother was stolen and murdered to house a reaper's slave, Miach. Kaiyssa, Tahlan's mate, is special even for an elf; she's a siren with the power to enchant others with her song, and sometimes bend them to her will. Longing to be with her love, Kaiyssa joins Tahlan in his quest to reclaim his brother's body from the clutches of a reaper and defilement by the human soul inhabiting it.

Overall, the story is about magic and wonder, people, the emotions we share, and things we learn about ourselves along the road.


I wrote The Reaper Realm because I felt a story in me that needed to come out. The storyline was developed from a dream I had back in college. I'd mused on the book's basic plot for years, however, it truly came into being when I wrote it down. Another reason I penned this tale is because I'm an avid daydreamer--except when I'm writing, which really says something considering my mind wanders at the slightest provocation. I crave stories and my mind is fascinated by nearly everything, I repeat nearly.

If you're a lover of epic fantasy, I'm confident you'll have a good time reading this novel. I've been told I have a creative mind and tell inventive stories. It's great fun weaving dashes of reality into my created world with facts from across humanity's vast ocean of knowledge. You'll laugh, possibly cry, and get swept up by the lives the book's characters and its' fanciful world.

Private message me for a copy if you'd like to review my book, thanks.

Ash Krafton (ash_krafton) | 1 comments I'd love to find new readers for The Heartbeat Thief!

I'm hosting a 99 cent sale on June 20-26 so new readers/reviewers would really help give it a boost. I have Kindle gift codes available immediately.

How far will Senza Fyne go to avoid Death?

It's a little bit Jane Austen, a little bit Edgar Allan Poe, and a whole lot of stealing heartbeats to stay young and beautiful forever.

Alexander Engel-Hodgkinson (nexus_engel) | 3 comments So I recently published a 300+ page cyberpunk thriller called I Keep My True Love in the Basement/REMIX that I was hoping to get some early reviews for. It's set for release on the 20th (I certainly don't expect anyone to read it that fast, LOL).

Anyway, here's the synopsis:

In the year 2068 A.D., the world has united under the fist of Altieria Corporation's wise and powerful CEO. Not without its complications...

The wife of a robotics engineer turns up dead in a cheap motel, and all evidence points to a telekinetic suspect that doesn't exist in the public eye--or even the eyes of the man who sees everything.

Two veteran detectives, a rebel faction, and an aggressive reporter approach the case from their own perspectives and rapidly descend into a web of lies, secrets, illegal operations, and violence. In their struggle for survival, they begin to suspect that the Altieria Corporation may somehow be involved. And if it is, how can they hope to learn the truth and expose it to a world that the Company now controls?

I Keep My True Love in the Basement/REMIX by Alexander Engel-Hodgkinson

I feel the need to warn you: this novel is disorienting, confusing, violent, and disturbing, and isn't recommended for the faint of heart. If that sounds like it's right up your alley, I would love to hear from you! I can provide a free copy in exchange for a review--I am also more than willing to swap reviews if you have something you want more reviews for. :)

Email me at ultimatenexus@hotmail.com or drop me a PM here on Goodreads. I can send PDFs.

Thanks!

Charles Blanchard | 3 comments Hello all,

I am looking for someone to review my novel, Kingdom's End.

Kingdom’s End is a literary adventure story where the main characters are rodents. The setting is an abandoned motion picture palace from the 1920s that has been closed for thirty years and is set for demolition. It is here where the characters make their massive colony and fight to protect it.

The story deals with their struggle to survive in a dark urban landscape and the threats posed against them from both man and beast. It is exciting and complex and an easy read with strong characters and narrative that makes you feel their plight.
There are many conflicts. Among them, a plot within the colony to overthrow the aged blind leader by an ambitious ruthless soldier and a good deal of the story involves how he goes about it. Later, the plot is discovered as forces work against the perpetrator.

The rodent characters have names. The human characters interspersed in the story are nameless.

There is considerable adventure outside the colony as characters are introduced that play important roles such as the derelict rats that specialize in the placement of poison and even a fortune teller. The interaction with humans and other animals has an emotional pull that infuses the story to its conclusion as the blind leader of the entrapped colony facing the exterminators tells his subjects they must make their decision on life or death.

The book is dedicated to Richard Adams whose work has been an inspiration.

Thank you.

Charles Blanchard

Mary Feliciani | 17 comments Hi everyone,

My name is Mary Feliciani and I am an author and publisher of children's books.

I have three book titles:

Big and Small in the Mirror is about bullying that happens in the school environment. The two main characters, Carlo and Marco, learn the effects of bullying on their self-images and how positive relationships help them grow. The book is appropriate for children between 8-10 years old.

I provide discussion questions at the end of the book to help parents and teachers facilitate a discussion about bullying, and to put the story in perspective.

The Magic Leaf is about a small-town boy who learns the value of friendship. A medieval, Italian town named Roseto serves as the backdrop. The beautiful and colourful illustrations – all done in paper collage style – depict different parts of the town and journey. Although the story unfolds in a different time and place, the message is universal and timeless. The appropriate reading age would be 6-8.

Humanitarians, Visionaries, Heroes, and You is a collection of seven inspiring mini-biographies and my own reflections, intended to encourage the reader to join a growing movement towards social responsibility and global citizenship. This book is for an older audience (10 – 12+).

If you are interested in reviewing any of my books let me know.

Thanks,
Mary

P.J. Paulson | 5 comments Hi, I'm looking for reviews as well as honest constructive critique for Summer of the Phoenix. Amazon Kindle ebook is ***Free*** on December 23 and 24, 2016.

Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6IXM02

Unexpected unemployment, ending romantic relationship, and repeated burglaries prompt an unconventional choice by the author to forego her city apartment, and embrace a simple, stripped-down life absent amenities such as plumbing, electricity, and central heat. Calling upon her pioneering spirit, she draws both serenity and strength from Mother Nature to savor life off the grid. During her rustic retreat, she creates a sanctuary in which she contemplates her own philosophies and life direction, ultimately transforming her outlook in the face of what appeared to have become a world gone mad. The memoir follows a year in the life of the author coping with adversity and transforming her personal world view.

Suggestions, critique, and constructive criticism sent directly to the author are welcome.

Thank you!

Linda Hill (linda_g_hill) | 1 comments Hi Vanessa,

I just left you a message on your blog for a review. :)

If anyone else is interested (and I hope you are!) my debut novel "The Magician's Curse" just came out yesterday. It's a Gothic paranormal romance about a stage magician who carries the blood of an incubus passed down through generations. Here's the blurb:

When Herman Anderson leaves home to make a better life for herself, she doesn’t expect to meet a tall, dark stranger with whom she’ll fall hopelessly in love.

Charming and mysterious, Stephen Dagmar is a stage magician seeking an assistant. The moment he sets eyes on Herman, he knows she’s the one. He brings her home to his Victorian mansion where they embark upon an extravagant romance. Yet a shadow hangs over their love. Will the curse on his family end Stephen and Herman’s happily ever after, before it really begins?

Amidst lace and leather, innocence and debauchery, The Magician’s Curse begins the Gothic tale of The Great Dagmaru. Magic and romance await.

I'm an Indie Author and can provide you with a free copy of the e book in return for an honest review on Amazon and Goodreads.

Please do message me if you are interested. Thanks for reading this :-)

Calvin Dean | 4 comments Seeking beta readers and reviewers for my cozy southern parody, Geriatric Delinquents. With a proposition to legalize marijuana on the November ballot, two aging sisters risk their reputations to keep the community drug free. But when Thad, their infamous rock star brother brings his gravitas to town along with nefarious plans, Agatha and Clarabeth counter with sabotage and sanctimonious resistance. Almost a true story, Geriatric Delinquents is a rollicking southern parody featuring a curious cast of characters who face scandal and public humiliation. The small town of Summerdale may never be the same.
