Maddy Lanslots (maddylanslots) Hi everyone! My name is Maddy Lanslots and I am from the Netherlands. I love reading and I have recently published my first YA/fantasy/romance book, Broken Dreams:

Xav Gauchi has had a happy childhood, with loving parents who would give him the world if they could. He is full of dreams and when he gets the chance to make them come true, he takes it with both hands: he leaves his home to embark on a journey around the land of Nalay. He wants to learn more about the kingdom and the people, so that he will make a good advisor to King Aedd once the time comes for him to take over his father’s job.

Cenna Torell is equally full of dreams, but she has been forced into an arranged marriage by her father, despite the fact that she is in love with someone else. For a moment, it seems like things will take a turn for the better; but then tragedy strikes.

When Xav meets Cenna and learns more about her life and her past, he tries to help her; but she refuses to let him. Xav, however, does not give up so easily and when the situation reaches a boiling point, Cenna realises that allowing Xav to help her might be the only chance she has of changing her fate.

It is currently available on a Dutch website (http://www.bol.com/nl/p/broken-dreams...) as well as on Amazon (amzn.com/1508935874) and will soon be released as a Kindle version as well!

Linda Foster (lkfoster) | 1 comments Hello I'm new here, but I am also an author. My book is not out yet, but I have two published shorts that are the back story for my book. They are only 99cent and all proceeds go to the help animals in need.

The ebook is called Fallen Souls. It's two shorts, one for each of my main characters.

http://www.amazon.com/Fallen-Souls-Re...
Ash never thought going to a party could be dangerous. He certainly never thought it would change his life. But when a man with red eyes begins following him - and his sister - he realizes he was wrong. Soon they're running, leading the man on a desperate chase over icy roads. When Ash crashes his car, nearly killing his sister, the red-eyed man offers Ash a choice - save his sister, but pay the highest price possible. Bring Grace back to life, at the cost of his own soul. Suddenly, Ash is facing a choice he never sought. But will he use that choice to save his sister? And if he does what will it mean for Ash himself?

Someone has started a revolution in Heaven, his betrayal and lies tearing the fabric of the angels apart. Things are coming quickly to a head, and before long the angels will find themselves at war with each other. Friends and allies will turn against each other, each choosing their own side of right and wrong. If that happens, the world as they know it will end. It's up to Kali, protector of angels and humans, to stop the treachery before war breaks out and peace is shattered forever. But how far is she willing to go to save the lives of the angels? Will she turn against her own dearest friend to save her world? And if she does will anything be left for her to come home to?

Join Ash and Kali on their individual adventures as we see what - and who - led them to find each other in Soul Bound, the first book in the Realm of the Claimed.

Thanks for letting me post about it!!
Linda

Is Vincent really as bad as he seems? Will Scotty's darkest secret ever be revealed? Can he ever just finish his last few college years in peace?

It's wonderful to meet all you interesting readers and writers.
Above I attached two of my books and my profile. I'll keep this short (because there's so much I could say). Take a peak, see if anything strikes an interest and look me up on Wattpad (@sandra_easter) to get a look into some of my current projects. I'm primarily a fantasy writer, and I tend to live in that world I love to create. Ask any questions you may have. I LOVE to hear from you.

Patrick Jean-Jacques (patrickjean-jacques) Promethean Shadows by Patrick Jean-Jacques Hello everyone, I'm Patrick!

I'm a Teacher by profession and a first-time author. My debut novel PROMETHEAN SHADOWS is a contemporary thriller aimed at YA and Adults alike, and was published recently. So I'm nervous and excited in equal measures.

I used to love having the time to read, but as you can guess, teaching, writing and being a parent accounts for much of your time. It's a pleasure to be part of a group of dedicated and committed book readers.

I hope that you'll read and enjoy my book!! I'm really keen on feedback and reviews, as (knowing me) they will influence and help to shape book 2.

Many thanks in advance!

Nicole Adams (nicoleadams) | 3 comments Hello! My name is Nicole and I have two new books (both very different) but sadly don't have many reviews yet!

A life Beyond the Mirror
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Beyond-...

What if all the myths are real? Monsters, witches, faeries. Well NEWSFLASH! They are. And I’ve been thrown into the deep end.

Before I was a normal girl, well as normal as any 17-year-old can be, but after moving in with my Grandmother everything started to change. She wasn’t as crazy as everyone made her out to be. The friends I made in school were different than the others and I fit right in.

Even weirder, the elusive handsome stranger I have been dreaming about for the past 2 years is here, and he recognizes me too. I just hope that the dreams that plague me don’t come true. Otherwise things won't end well for any of us.

Catching Butterflies
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Catching-But...

Life is all about taking chances. Stepping out of your comfort zone so you can truly live. Well, I liked my comfort zone. It was cozy there, while it lasted. Invisible to those around me. My life as plain Faye was coming to an end and I was loving every minute of it. Well, the less murdery ones at least.
For me, to truly live is to love and be loved and there is plenty of that with my drop dead gorgeous bad boy at my side.

Did I mention he is my brothers best friend? Oops

This book contains mild language and covers topics readers may find distressing.

Thank you!

Marsh Myers (marshmyers) | 8 comments My Summer Under A Crescent Moon Cover Reveal

Hi, everyone! I am delighted to announce the launch of my YA fourth novel, and the second book in the Quinton’s Curious Mind Series.

My Summer (Under a Crescent Moon) is an LGBTQ comedy which takes place in 1979. Quinton Wyatt, a snarky and creative boy, is having a great summer break. He's landed his dream job with a local movie theater, he adores his new baby brother, and he’s in his first serious relationship with his long-time crush, T.J. Shapleigh. But sometimes fate, like a desert monsoon, can roar in a wash away everything. When tragedy strikes, it tests not only Quint’s relationship with T.J., but how he sees himself.

The book is the sequel to My Summer (with Robots) and will be released in late Spring 2021. It is recommended for ages 14 and up. For more information, visit marshmyers.com or follow me on Twitter @marshmyers and Instagram @darkandfevered

K.R. Bourgoine | 1 comments The First Fable, Book One in The Fable Series by K.R. Bourgoine



Hello, all,

I am K.R. Bourgoine. a published writer of many fantasy magazine stories and books, and the creator of several board games. I’m known for writing suspenseful epic fantasy stories that keep you on the edge of your seat while also breaking your heart. My greatest achievement along the way was being able to work with Gary Gygax, the creator of “Dungeons and Dragons”, on a couple of Gord the Rogue stories.

As I ramp up to release the next books in my young adult adventure series, I wanted to share a little about the book that started it all, The First Fable. Here is a short blurb:

His father’s a war hero, unfortunately it's for the wrong side

Macal Teel is a farm boy living with his uncle in the Kingdom of Elronia. His life is upended when his kingdom comes under attack by invading troll legions. His father is a war hero, or so he thought until he is accused of betraying the Dragoon army. When Macal begins a terrifying quest, uncovering secrets from generations past and confronting loathsome creatures and boundless dangers, he is determined to save Elronia and prove his father’s innocence—before it’s too late. From author K. R. Bourgoine comes the riveting young adult fantasy collection, The Fable series, starting with Book One, The First Fable, an imaginative and emotional story woven with elements of mystery, danger, and magic.

Young Macal’s father is a revered and honored captain in the Dragoon army. A great warrior, Bertran Teel had seen many battles and fought many wars to keep the Kingdom of Elronia safe within the world of Aerlinth. Macal is proud of his war hero father and is anxiously awaiting his return to his village, along with other cavalry already arriving. But his father is not coming home, and Macal is devastated as he learns why from the soldier who readily took over Bertran’s command as Dragoon captain.

“As you can imagine,” the captain was saying, “it bodes ill for the Teel family. No longer does that name hold any honor.”
“What do you mean?” Macal had never heard such a sharp tone from Uncle Melkes.
“Your brother Bertran left the Dragoon some time ago,” informed the captain.
“What do you mean, left? He wouldn’t just leave. And if he had, he would have come home.”
Jengus’s response was icy. “We have reason to believe that Bertran Teel is betraying the army and the Kingdom of Elronia.”


It isn’t long before Macal is thrust from everything he’s ever known into a quest to save his kingdom, prove his father’s innocence, and uncover generations of dangerous secrets. As the Trolls of Marglamesh wage a devastating war against the teen’s kingdom, Macal must navigate a perilous world, more threatening and magical than the farm boy ever imagined.

Macal could see a herd of massive creatures with long, crooked noses and thick olive skin covered in boils, warts, and scars stalking through the night, pouring out of the shadows of the northwest Rotelen woods...To his horror, he recognized these foul creatures. Although he had never actually seen anything so hideous and terrifying in all his life, he had heard enough about them to know that the trolls had come.

As Macal searches for his father on his treacherous journey, he must find victory before the wretched trolls take over his kingdom forever. In the process, Macal learns about the cost of sacrifice, the value of family, and himself.

The thrilling saga of Macal and The Kingdom of Elronia continues with the second and third volumes of this fascinating fantasy series, The Second Fable and The Third Fable. Worlds collide for young adult and adult readers who will love the fast-paced adventures, the chemistry between the characters, and the interplay of fantasy, legends, magic, and danger in The Fable series. Author K. R. Bourgoine expertly weaves stories that are both timeless and unique, perfect cross-market reads for those searching for the next enduring epic fantasy series.

If you are part of a book club, I have a list of questions about the novel that I could send along to help get your book club conversation started. I would also be happy to talk with your group online or in person where possible.

Thank you for taking the time to consider The First Fable. For more information and longer descriptions, on the novel or myself, please check out the www.TheFirstFable.com

I hope all is well and let me know if you have any questions.

K. R. Bourgoine


Some prominent reviews of The First Fable:

"The First Fable has an amazing amount of adventure packed in its pages." James Ward, Author of many books & designer of the first science fiction RPG, Metamorphosis Alpha & designer of the first apocalypse RPG, Gamma World

"Trolling for a roller coaster action adventure that is packed with swords and sorcery? Then this is your next meal! This story grabs you with a relentless hold that simply will not let go. A hero is born. Don't miss the event!" Chris Clark, Founder and Author of Inner City Games.

Zane Emerson | 1 comments Hey everyone! My name is Zane and I’m a new author that just released my debut novel Cascade, a YA fantasy inspired by what if D&D met Jumanji. I am also 75% done with the sequel and a companion novella that I plan to release in the next few months!

Those of you with Kindle Unlimited can read it free here: http://mybook.to/Cascade

Goodreads link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Jordon is a Dungeon Master, and he liked to think he was a decent one after a whole year of writing and running his own home-brewed campaign. He just didn’t think he was so good at it that he could actually write a Fallen God into existence that was hellbent on destroying the multiverse. So, when a character from that very campaign shows up on his doorstep, begging for his help in saving her world, it was only responsible for Jordon to step up and save it, right?

With his Outcasts behind him, Jordon descends through the Cadinari Stream and into a world of his own creation, finding that the life of an Adventurer is much more than improv and dice rolls. And Taldora, that world he had only seen in his dreams, was full of more wonders and mystery than even he had imagined.

Maria Arnault (maria-arnault) | 2 comments Hey everyone! My name is Maria and recently I published my book, called "So... you don't hate me?", which is a cute fluffy rom-com, if I can say so :)

If you want to read something light that will cheer you up, feel free to read my book!
So... you don't hate me? by Maria Arnault
Here's the description:
A fun, flirty teen debut from Maria Arnault about art, real love, and relationships, with a touch of the enemies-to-lovers trope.

Wake up, go to school, do homework, sleep, wake up again... Isabella's life is full of routine except for Sundays when she would visit galleries all over New York. She never thought she could have an exciting life. She never thought she could pursue her dream of becoming an artist. But last year of high school led her to some surprises. It all started one of these Sundays when some boy dared to interrupt her from her daydreaming. And where will it end?

This isn't a story of how a girl meets a boy who turns her world upside down. This is a story of a girl who learns courage, confidence, love, and hatred.

"So... you don't hate me?" is a modern young adult rom-com, filled with art and sarcasm and fun, that will leave you crying and feeling all the spectrum of emotions along with the characters.

Side note from the author: Isabella and Mia's friendship is the best, so you better read the book only for that ;)

I hope some of you enjoy my book! This actually has been my dream since forever and I an so grateful for this opportunity! Have an amazing day!

gabss (lorelai's version) @Minahil
Usually a good character consists of a lot of different things. Round characters always have imperfections and just a few qualities that aren’t perfect! And make sure to have the character change through out the story. They can’t be the same in the whole story because of course, people change. Hope this helps!

Pamela Cox | 17 comments The brand-new edition of our book Tales of Habib the Hoaxter has just been released on Amazon!

I'm willing to bet that this book is unlike anything you've ever read before.

It's a collection of very short, very funny stories, each with a punch line that will have you laughing and eager to share with your friends.

If you enjoy stories that draw you in with the first line, take you on a little adventure of wonder, then spin you around like a fair ride, you will revel in these tales!

If you wish to experience the poor outwitting the rich and the unschooled outwitting the pompously educated.
Come take Habib’s hand!

These tales are quite simple on the surface, with rich layers of meaning beneath.

They are great for children, for the old and wise (or not so wise!), and for everyone in between. We can't wait to hear which tale is your favorite!

J.A. Lucas | 2 comments Hi guys,

I'm an author. My pen name is J.A. But most people just call me, Jess. I love to write dark and haunting tales and I'm slowly adding the books here on Goodreads.

I published my first novel 'Once Upon A Vale' in August and working on book two as we speak. Being an avid reader, I'd love to connect and see what everyone else is reading. I've gotten some really amazing books on my TBR from friend's list. <3

New state. New school. One message that launches your fresh start...

Hayden Mallard is a shy, reserved and self-conscious boy starting his junior year at a new school... in a new state. Feeling suffocated from his past while wanting to enjoy life, he tries to see what is out there: high school parties, social outings, dealing with drama, adventures, and, at a desperate time, messaging a fellow high schooler who is using the alias Tokyo. She welcomes him to a new world of music - and he wishes to discover who she is.

Between the real world and online, Hayden must experience the highs and lows of life, learning to deal with real situations, coping with the unknown and facing the consequences of recent and past events.

'From Brisbane To Tokyo While In Orlando, Florida' is a wonderful and deeply moving Young Adult novel about first love, second chances and the power of friendship, growing up, acceptance and life.

Review:
"There's simultaneously heart breaking and heart warming moments and the twists of this story made for an unexpected and exciting read." Ellie Brennan, BBC Radio 2

It would be amazing if you could take a chance on my book and give it a read... and possibly a review on Goodreads or Amazon. I would extremely grateful.

Hi There,

My name is Esther, and I typically write children’s picture books, which has been such a rewarding and successful journey for me. But recently, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try something new—I wrote my first YA novel!

The experience of writing a novel has been so much fun, especially since I got to brainstorm ideas with my husband, who works in the field of AI. Together, we explored some fascinating ideas about technology, consciousness, and humanity, which I wove into a fast-paced YA dystopian story.
The result is Convergence, a novel about Maya, a strong and determined young woman who leaves her small village to save her sister’s life in a futuristic city. Along the way, she uncovers a terrifying plot that threatens humanity itself. The story explores themes like love, consciousness, and the moral dilemmas of advanced AI. It’s fast-paced, with some clean romance, high stakes, and a world that I hope readers will find both thrilling and thought-provoking.

The book will be released on January 22, 2025. Here you can have a free ARC copy.
