Hi,

I hope you’ll consider reviewing my latest novel, and winner of the Literary Titan Golden Book Award, “Yuri & the Pig” (87,000 words [282 pages] published by Wild Wolf Publishing on September 1, 2023), a work of fiction based on the current war in Ukraine. However, the countries involved are fictitious, too.

Some excerpts from editorial reviews:
“C W Lovatt's storytelling is masterful…” ~ Readers’ Favorite
“Lovatt's novel is a literary gem …” ~ A Look Inside
“A genuinely thought-provoking novel, it beckons readers to reflect on the intricate dance of life, growth, and self-discovery.” ~ Literary Titan

The following is the blurb:

“From the best-selling author of the Charlie Smithers adventures.

A farmer and his pig set off on an extraordinary quest across war-torn Eastern Europe.

Entangled in a savage war, the country of Xoraina is fighting for its very existence; but to Yuri, a simple peasant from a remote mountain village, it seems all but certain that the invading Zlaimperians must ultimately prevail. Not that it is of any consequence to him, of course. In Yuri’s view, every form of government is equally bad, so it makes very little difference who holds the reins of power. Indeed, throughout time, the only things that have ever really mattered are that the soil be tilled, the cows milked, and the pigs shipped to market, all in a timely fashion.

But when an exorbitant new tax threatens that philosophy, he sets off with his pig across the war-ravaged land to the Capital in order to fight the injustice. In the process, their journey becomes a road to a terrible enlightenment, causing Yuri to question his deeply seated beliefs. But only when he and his pig find themselves placed squarely in destiny’s path is there any hope of those questions finding answers.”

If interested, please contact me at clovatt@xplornet.ca and I’ll arrange for you to receive an e-copy in the format you prefer.

Thank you for your time.

Hi C.W.!

Thank you for sending me a message and recommending me your book!

I read the first three chapters on Amazon (sample) and I have decided that the book doesn't interest me enough for me to read it and review it.

Only the best,

Hi, Jelly. I'd love a review of my debut novel, GOLD! It's book 1 in the Kincaid Saga series. It's set in Australia and centres on a family involved in the gold mining industry and follows the deeds and misdeeds of Malcolm Kincaid, the chief protagonist and villain. Here's a link to where you can check out the blurb etc to see if it might interest you. http://viewbook.at/GOLD
I recently gave the book a re-edit and a new cover. I've written book 2, a prequel, that's scheduled for release later this year.
I'm happy to send you a PDF or EBOOK.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Thomas, thank you for your message! I see that the book was published in 2020, and this message thread is only for ARCs that need reviews before their publication date.

Thank you and have a great day!

Hi Jelly,

I have a new book coming out soon on Amazon.

Dream State: A Josh Holland Sci-Fi Thriller
Release date: June 24, 2024

Here is a brief description:
An unexpected discovery in a university lab gives graduate student Josh Holland the chance to change the destiny of mankind, but an unknown adversary has seen what he can do and will stop at nothing to obtain his secret. Josh and his friends must navigate unforeseen danger and obstacles to make their dreams of the future a reality.

It is a science fiction novel set in the present, with elements of espionage and conspiracy intertwined in the plot.

I am still looking for ARC reviewers. I understand you only provide reviews on Goodreads. I have asked the librarian to add the book to the GR database, but this may take a while. It will certainly be on GR after June 24 once Amazon releases it.

You can check out the website at https://finfridaybooks.com. Click on the preview to see a detailed description and to read a chapter 1 sample.

If you are interested, you can message me on the website's contact page. Thanks for your consideration.

Hello 
I am hoping you will review my latest novel, The Gilgamesh Path. It is a space opera science fiction of app 93,000 words (307 pages) professionally edited by Nanette Sipe of Decadent Publishing.
Here is the short blurb.
One dead man’s body reveals a startling secret. Every cell has been corrupted by a micro-organism that gave him eternal health. The thing is…no one knows where he contracted it as it must have been millions of years ago.
So begins the hunt throughout the galaxy for the micro-organism by two opposing individuals, Calain de Longee of the Galactic Core Amalgamation, and Princess Warkis, second in line of the Pataki Dynastic of the Harkardi Empire. Other forces are also at play. The Guardians, a race of super robots who ensure the peace between humans and the Harkardi, warn against the dangers of the micro-organism, and the Forty-Two Steps, a criminal organization, who wish to claim it for themselves. It’s a contest of wills between Calain and Warkis with galactic implications.
My last science fiction novel, Requiem For A Genocide, received many acclimations including the Readers Views Reviewers Choice Awards where it won the Gold Medal for science fiction, in the Global Ebook Awards where it won the Silver Medal, in The National Indie Excellence Awards where it was a finalist, and in the Independent Press Awards where it is listed as a Distinguished Favorite. It is my hope this new book reaches and exceeds these expectations.
You can find my book at Amazon for pre-orders. You can find the book on my Goodreads page here.
As always, I am prepared to do a giveaway should you want one for your site.
Thank you for taking the time to read this email and consider my request. Should you wish to know more about me, you can visit my website michaeldrakich.com

Wishing you success in everything.

Hi!

I have written a book on my personal experience of domestic violence: Mirror. Breaking chains: seeing myself in my abuser’s eyes.

Set in a small village in Sardinia, my story spans a ten-year period during which I navigate through an abusive relationship with a narcissistic psychopath. I finally came to the understanding that we both carried emotional baggage that made us reproduce the same toxic experiences that our parents, relatives, and caregivers had gone through.

“Mirror” is a true story of love, determination, and strength, filled with raw emotion and gut-wrenching heartbreak.

I wrote it as a testament to the fact that it’s not our fault if we find ourselves in such relationships, and that we can break free if we understand the underlying reasons. Abuse can end with us if we have the courage to confront it, preventing our children from enduring the same experiences.

Parents who had difficult childhoods, whether they are aware of it or not, predispose their children to trauma. We must be honest with ourselves and explore our inner world to heal before deciding to start a family.

Let me know if you are interested, and I will send you a copy. The book is 44k words and the deadline is four to six weeks.

Thanks for reviewing my book. I would appreciate it if you shared your thoughts with me. Please send me your comments at:

Blurb:
What do accidental stalking, panic attacks, and landscaping have in common?

Everly’s life is exactly as it should be, until her estranged sister comes back to town the same day Asim Jabbar knocks on her door, nearly knocking Everly off her slipper-clad feet and her anxious heart right out of her chest.

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.

Hello,

My name is Michael J. Brooks. I am an independent author in the USA. My science fiction book, Republic Shattered: Sins of Before, will be released December 3, 2024.

Pages: 354

Deadline: By December 3rd, but if you need longer, that's fine.

A synopsis is below, which can also be found via the provided link to the Amazon page.

SYNOPSIS:

Guardian Randal Scott faces the grim reality that his friend and former comrade, Jarius Ford, may be enduring brutal torture or may have already met a tragic fate.

Randy’s heart aches to secure Jarius’ freedom or mete out justice in his name. However, he finds himself in a moral quandary. The perpetrators responsible for Jarius’ abduction are products of the Commonwealth Defense Force’s (CDF) sins, scarred souls seeking retribution. Their leader, Zataldra, carries her own traumatic past as a survivor of heinous atrocities committed by the CDF. The thought of destroying this new enemy troubles Randy’s conscience, yet with an impending bloodbath looming, he may have no alternative.

Complicating Randy’s already stressful life is the return of his onetime lover, Private Akane Sugimori. Her presence strains his rekindled relationship with Stacie Spencer and forces him to question where his affections lie. Which woman truly holds his heart? It’s something he must figure out while also contending with the pressures of serving in the CDF.

As the Commonwealth teeters on the brink of annihilation at the hands of its newest foe, emotions reach a fever pitch, bonds are tested, and the fate of countless lives hangs in the balance.

Experience the gripping penultimate chapter of the adult science-fiction series Wars of the New Humanity.

To give the reader a heads-up, this book contains descriptive scenes of lovers making love.
