Thank you so much for readingTraveling in Wonder: A Travel Photographer's Tales of Wanderlust!
Traveling in Wonder: A Travel Photographer's Tales of Wanderlust

Would you have any interest in a dystopian thriller (first in a five-part series!)?
After a scavenging accident, the daughter of a religious Prophet learns that despite what she’s been told, there are other survivors of the apocalypse outside her commune. With no other options, she joins a team of survivors who hate her and everything she represents. Worse yet, she must unravel the truths she learns of what her Prophet has done and the part he played in the demise of humanity. She must choose between self-preservation, loyalty to her prophet, or sacrificing herself to atone for her commune’s sins.
It's been compared to a mix between The Handmaid's Tale and The Last of Us.

I have a novella called High Infidelity that was released today. I’d be so glad if you read it and leave a review. Here is the blurb:
Adelaide Byron (then Clarke) had been in love with Connor Thompson, and he returned this love. However, there is many ways that you can kill the one you love and the slowest way is never loving them enough. Adelaide had always believed that Connor was the love of her life, but she soon discovers that his feelings for her were never as deep as she had hoped. Heartbroken and furious, Adelaide plans a revenge. She sets her sights on Harry Byron, a wealthy and influential man from a renowned family. Months after they got married, Connor broke into their house and wrote a curse word on the wall. This incident sets off something inside Adelaide. On a day when rain soaked, she decides to face the man she once loved. From that moment, nothing will be the same.
I will send you the pdf if you contact me at pelin1808@icloud.com

Sophie’s life hasn’t turned out quite the way she wanted. Twenty-five years old and stuck in a boring job as a tanner’s apprentice – and with a horrible boss, to boot – she’s just about at her wits’ end. Where are the dragons to slay, the fae to outwit? There’s not a shred of excitement to be found in her hometown hamlet of Pilora.
Something has to change. And while the world can be a dangerous place for a novice adventurer, Sophie knows just the spot to cut her teeth.
Scarcely a day’s hike from her village lies the long-abandoned necropolis of the sorcerer Jazz Katan, former conqueror of the Midlands. But when Sophie tries to kickstart her new life, things prove more complicated than she ever could have imagined. Someone else is headed to the necropolis, someone on a very different kind of mission, and Sophie’s practice quest is about to get a whole lot more dangerous.
To have any chance of escaping the necropolis alive, Sophie will have to put her faith in the secretive, brooding, and devilishly handsome dark elf Filoro – and pray that his mysterious past doesn’t prove to be both of their undoings.

Ariana, a 16-year-old daughter of a wealthy merchant in Edenhaven, has suffered abuse at the hands of her family since childhood, eroding her confidence, trust in herself, and belief in love and familial bonds. However, her life takes a dramatic turn one fateful night when her father expels her from their home, leaving her injured. This expulsion becomes the catalyst for her discovery of a new, magical world called Eloria, where she begins to find love with Thorne and starts to trust again. Yet, beneath the surface of her newfound happiness lies a dark secret about Thorne and his world that Ariana has yet to uncover.
This is a tale of Ariana's journey to rediscover herself and her worth amidst the backdrop of a mystical and uncertain world.

Prelude of Fire: The Gailean Quartet, Book 1
Hello there!! I'm an author of a YA epic fantasy series. Previously published, but I had to leave the publisher last year due to an unfortunate negative experience. So, like my characters, I'm on a quest! I'll be republishing later this year and am questing for early readers for my ARC for Book 1, Prelude of Fire.
Prelude of Fire has found family, a good vs. evil quest, emotional twists and turns, and elemental and musical magic. One reader says it's like "if Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings had a baby."
ARC is available in PDF, Epub, and Mobi.

A desperate mission. Sinister sorcery. Can she find the seven prism shards to stop the world from being destroyed?
Ashlai, a young Fyre mage who can harness powers of flame from the sun, yearns to know about her kin. Her adoptive elven father refuses to let her travel abroad with her brother, and she despairs of ever knowing who she really is. But when the new king’s vicious spell attacks her forest home, she flees toward that unknown past—and an uncertain destiny—guided only by the strange melody in her head and a piece of broken prism.
Determined to save the land from the enchanted drought burning everything in its path, Ashlai searches for six other magical fragments to overthrow the ruthless king. With the help of a shape-shifting thief, two squabbling bards, and a snarky water elf, she races toward a perilous confrontation…and a life-changing truth.
Can Ashlai fight fire with fire to defeat the devastating spell before it consumes the entire land? And can she survive the secrets she discovers without losing her new friends, her family, and even herself?
Prelude of Fire is the thrilling first book in The Gailean Quartet YA epic fantasy series. Featuring a diverse cast, high-stakes quests, and music melded with magic, you’ll love Schulze’s emotional journey.

One look, and I hate my new boss. Except my body never got the memo.
We clashed from day one.
He treats me like a know-nothing, small-town girl, but I’m determined to prove myself. So when he asks me to manage a big conference in the mountains, I seize the chance to impress.
On the drive up there, our forced conversation turns to light banter, and I discover a different Ethan. A playful spark in the eye. A childish grin. Who is this man?
A storm forces us to find refuge in a sleazy motel, and the blizzard ignites something between us. Now my panties are on the floor.
When has sleeping with the boss ever been a good idea?
Not to mention developing feelings for him!
I cannot lose this job and go back to Hick Town.
Which is exactly what I’m thinking the night he takes me on his desk.
And his assistant walks in on us…

This is Hunting Grounds: Book 2 of the Immortal series.
Short description:
A genre-bending mash-up for fans of sci fi, suspense, and slow-burn romance. Immerse yourself in an adventure of parasite-induced immortality, genetic manipulation, and the collision of mortal and immortal lives—full of heart-pounding thrills, forbidden love, and a desperate struggle to save humanity.

You can read Book 2 without reading the earlier books and you'll understand most everything, but there is a throughline to the plot for the series. Each book features a different romantic couple. If you want to look at the earlier books, Book 1 (Immortal) is available on KU, or I'll also set up a free option for my ARC team around the same time as I send out ARC copies of Book 2.

I recently released my first book in the Bane War series, https://www.amazon.com/Fury-Bane-War-...
Series theme is Heaven's angels, technological beings, waging eternal war against Navia's demons, magical beings. 5000 years ago they signed a peace treaty, but now wage war through proxies. Yava is the latest battleground.
Saffa is this book's protagonist, a sassy battlemage wielding a longsword while casting fire and ice magic.
The book takes inspiration from Slavic mythology and Ukraine's fight for freedom.
I had 3 women beta read and they gave mostly positive feedback, but now I'm trying to get more eyes and brains on the story. I'm eager to improve the dark fantasy and romance pieces, as I have at least six more books planned.
Genre is DESR (dark epic science romantasy). Content rating is MA.
If you are interested in reading, let me know via message or email to author@banewar.com, and I can get you a hardback, paperback, or .epub copy, whatever you want.

After the flirtiest plant delivery of her life, Everly tries to find her Hot Delivery Guy without becoming a stalker, then digs herself into a hole when she enlists his help re-landscaping her yard. An already immaculate yard that does not need any new plants.
Asim agrees, on one condition: that Everly get her perfectly manicured hands dirty and join him. Despite Asim turning her life upside down, Everly can't stop thinking about the muscular, tattooed plant dad.
But when Asim’s world collapses and past scars threaten their future, Everly doesn’t realize all that Asim has sacrificed for her until it’s too late.

Sadistic work coach James Burgess has finally bagged his dream job after three years of trying, two hundred miles from home in rural Gwynedd, north Wales. But with promotion firmly in mind, cutting the jobcentre's wage bill soon becomes his sport, at any cost, leaving a trail of chaos and hunger in his wake.
As house prices soar and job prospects dwindle, many of James' ''casualties of war'' wind up at Morywelon homeless hostel, where the waiting list is insatiable. Managing such a place takes gall, and Denise Groves' ten-year stint certainly took its psychological toll. But she's back for a second spell, to the job she loved and held since leaving school with no GCSEs.
The catch? Well, this time, their security guards have been laid off...
Denise fiercely defends residents against ignorant scorn the wider community assumes to inflict, so is held in the highest regard by most. But tough decisions must be made, and hell-raisers don't always leave when asked nicely...
Denise needs her support network more than ever, but it's fallen off a cliff. After a decade in the 'single lane', all best mate Jules wants is to set her up. Great, if only for Jules' dodgy choice of men. Seedy, serial cockney scammer Rick is her latest, and has a few turbulent potential answers for Denise's 'problem'.

Two Novellas
Two life-affirming stories of ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
The Golden Flyswatter takes us to a retro dive bar in Santa Monica, California, where young Natalie Schoenfeldt, an ingenue from Wisconsin, gets a job cocktailing. She soon realizes that the patrons are not who they seem, and Hollywood opportunities may not be either.
The Walk of Washington takes us to present-day Philadelphia, where a young filmmaker is playing piano to pay the rent. When he meets an older gentleman who looks a lot like Benjamin Franklin, the most excellent adventure of his young adult life begins.

Despite a family crisis in Paris, they’re forced to drop everything and scramble for an open portal as the network collapses. Every victory has a cost and as secrets surface and sacrifices mount, Hally and Nolan must ask themselves: can they save the realm without losing each other?

Some will fight. Some will fall. And some will discover that the greatest threat is not the undead… but each other.
