The Messenger

[Teck]

Hello,
my name is Teck. I'm a new author and just released my first Novel PUVI - Buddha Highway over at Amazon.

It's a Historical/Literary/Spiritual fiction.
It's essentially a meeting between East and West in a multicultural country, Malaysia. The book is set in 1967. And follows the journey of a teenager Puvi, who experience enlightenment and goes beyond it. It is about his adventures with friends, as well as adults.

It was quite the journey from putting the first letter in my word document, to the point where it's now, even though it's only my first book. Currently I'm working on two more novels “1000 Faces of Major Lin” and “Shu”.

I would be really glad if you would check out my novel and if you are interested to read it, you can get a free review unit over at: https://www.instafreebie.com/campaign...

and if you were so nice to a review on goodreads and/or on amazon I would really appreciate it.

[Matthew]

Greetings,

I'm Matt, author of The ARC Chronicles, a supernatural horror thriller series about imminent demon apocalypse and the efforts of one woman to thwart it:

Eva Ross, a psychologist in Worcester, Massachusetts is forced to flee for her life when her husband threatens to imprison her, and those she trusted start to exhibit psychotic aspects. A steamy meeting with the mysterious and enigmatic Madden Scott leads to a one-night stand and her only hope of salvation. As they journey across continents, desperate to unlock the secrets of a sacred religious text, Eva must face her destiny: Demons need her blood to bring on the apocalypse. Only she can open the gate.

Hellbounce examines what it is to exist in symbiosis with a demon. Host it, and you gain strength. Lose control and the demon emerges, but after a brief reign of chaos, your life is extinguished. That is the dilemma of a ‘Hellbounce’, a demon that has returned from Hell in its mortal form, reborn at the place of death.

The novel is aimed at readers who enjoy books with a strong element of supernatural activity, demons, ghosts, as well as the thrill of the chase and the mystery of a shadowy organisation attempting to pull the strings from behind the scenes. It is horror that is designed to make the reader think A good comparison would be the Experiment in Terror series by Karina Halle, or Dean Koontz’s early work from the 1980s such as Darkfall: eerie, macabre and fantastic. Hellbounce is the first of three novels in ‘The ARC Chronicles’.


The books in the series are Hellbounce, Hellborne, and the soon-to-be-released Hellbeast. You can find more information at www.matthewharrill.com

If you would like to have a copy of Hellbounce in exchange for a review, get in touch and I will email a copy over to you pronto! : )

Regards,

Matt

[Angelina]

Hello everyone, my name is Angelina Kalahari.

I love reading good stories in almost any genre.

I'm new to Goodreads, and have been an avid reader since I could read, which according to my mum, started when I was three. That's also when I started to tell my own stories to anyone who would listen.

Very soon, I'll be publishing my debut novel, The Healing Touch, on Amazon, and I would LOVE some reviews. It's a difficult one to categorize, but I'll most likely have to call it a romance/mystery. I understand, however, that review requests should be posted elsewhere, so that's what I'll do, but if anyone here wants to get in touch, please feel free to do so. I'm happy to review, too.

[L.C.]

Hello book lovers!
LeighLa Graham here. I have one indie book floating around the world, Lessons in Saving a Girl... and it occasionally sells too. =)
I look forward to connecting w/ reviewers who have a special interest in psychology, YA literary fiction & reality fiction.

[Cynthia]

Hello. My name is Cynthia Toliver. I am an author and reader. I have three books on Goodreads, two historical novels and an inspirational book. I belong to a group called The Book Club Network. We receive free books in exchange for fair and honest reviews. My goal is to post reviews on more books including those that I read outside of TBCN. And of course I'd like to get more reviews on my own books. I'm looking forward to participating in this group.

[Kitty]

Hi, I'm a self-published author of romantic mysteries. You can check out my Good Reads Author bio. My second book is to be released 8/15, and I'm starting work on my 3rd and an urban fantasy.
I'm a GIS Mapping consultant in my day job, and write these books around my schedule. It's taking me about a year per/book but I'm hoping to speed that up now that I've got the process down. Glad to be a part of such a useful group!

[[deleted user]]

Hi everyone! My name is Lori and I have a promotions company called IndiGo Marketing & Design. One of the services we offer is arranging for reviews so this seemed like a great group to join! Team IndiGo is made up of a select group of dedicated reviewers and we're always looking for more members. If you're interested, you can check out our website or send me a message.

Thanks!

[Robert]

I went to your site but couldn't tell if you provided free book reviews. Do you? As I'm sure you are aware, paid for book reviews are officially banned, and supposedly any appearance of impropriety can be acted upon without due process protections for the authors. This supposedly includes verified purchases, such as if the same account is used to purchase a book by more than one reviewer, or if a reviewer purchases an unreasonable quantity of books on the same account. The word is that reviewers are to be tracked, but maybe the whole thing is just a rumor that's going around. One article that I read said that one author had 1700 reviews...if so, he probably help cause this scandal to surface, but maybe it will be a good thing in the long-run. Who knows????? Please let everyone know if you have free book reviews that have a low risk of later biting an author in the butt. I doubt if anybody would be foolish enough to risk a writing "career" (loose use of the term)to get a review. Thanks

Hi Robert. Great question. IndiGo offers a paid service to authors. We don't pay reviewers. We handle the tedious part of getting your book reviewed, contacting review blogs, filling out online forms, distributing the review copies, keeping track of where reviews are posted, promoting the reviews, etc... Our review team does not receive any compensation and we ask that they provide honest reviews, each with a disclaimer that the book was provided for free in exchange for an honest review. We don't promise a certain number of reviews and we don't promise all five star reviews. We're just the facilitators. I didn't link to our services page because I didn't want anyone to think I joined this group to solicit authors. I only joined to get my clients books in the hands of reviewers that are a good fit for their book. Hope that helps!

[Saradia]

Hi everyone! I've recently published my book Beyond Tragedies and am looking for reviewers. I am also working on a blog where I wish to post reviews for other indie authors. This group seems to be the right place.

[Sara]

Hi, I'm Sara Cleveland. I recently released my first novel, Saving the Dragon (self published). I joined this group for two reasons.

[Hannah]

Hi All,

I'm Hannah and I've recently started to read with my eyes again. For a while, I've been "reading" thru Audible but I missed the beauty of seeing words.
As much as I love the physical touch of books, I'm cheating with the more technological means. I am not a writer but have a soul of a writer.

[J.R.]

Hello, one and all.

I finally took the leap into the realm of the self-published writer in May. So far I have two books to my name; my short story A Humourless Death and as a contributor to the flash-fiction anthology Prompted Musings

I love to read, as I'm sure many others here do as well. I also enjoy landscape photography and would do (almost) anything for a good cup of coffee.

My hopes for joining this group are to see if anyone would like to review either of my books (in PDF or Mobi format). If that's you, then please get in touch! You can reach me here, or through my website http://www.jrbournville.com

Thank you, and have a great day!

[Veda]

Hi,

I'm Veda and I look forward to participating in this group.

When I am not working, I am an avid reader. I am also the author of a new novel titled, "Flexible Wings".

In short, "Flexible Wings is the story of an 11-year old military girl of mixed-race who uses competitive swimming to navigate fears of her mom's military deployment.

I'm giving three copies away on Goodreads NOW. Here's a few more things about the book if you are interested in reviewing the book.

"Flexible Wings" is a contemporary middle-grade novel that explores the lives of military children. The book delves into themes of sports, community and volunteerism as a way of supporting families through difficult times.

In "Flexible Wings," Summer Stevenson is an eleven-year-old military kid who dreams of having a permanent home and swimming in the Olympics one day, just like her idol Olympian Lia Neal. But those things seem out of reach as her parents “the heroes” continually move the family from house to house like boxed-up toys.

After their last move, she thought her life would never change, but now the moving truck is idling in front of her house again, this time taking the family to Valencia, a small town in southern California known for its bike trails, roller coasters and great schools. But things aren't so great for Summer. She worries constantly that her fighter-pilot mom could be redeployed at any moment, and she struggles to make new friends, finding herself in humiliating circumstances with her neighbors.

Summer sees a glimmer of hope when her parents sign her up for competitive swimming, but she turns out to be the worst swimmer on the team! Inspired by nature and drawing support from friendships both old and new, including those with Grandma "Bachaan," her coaches, and other kids on the swim team, Summer seeks the courage she'll need to tackle life's challenges.

Editorial Reviews

— Kirkus Reviews, recommended review

— Readers’ Favorite, five-star review

— Blueink Review

“An incredible story... accurately reflects the emotional struggles military children face.”

[Mae]

The Color of Jade Hi everyone, I'm Mae, author of debut novel 'The Color of Jade'. I love reading and write YA dystopian, thriller novels. I am new to Goodreads and must say, social media is not my strong point. I prefer spending my time writing and keeping my mind wrapped up in exciting novels. I tend to be a social introvert so this is a strange new world, finding friends online and people interested in reviewing new, unknown authors like myself. If anyone is interested, I don't mind gifting my novel. I'd love to have some more reviews on goodreads and amazon.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011...
