Wrecked and Yours
Hi There! My name is CeeCee and I'm traditionally a non-fiction author. My previous books have been memoirs. In this book I write about three homeless kids, and their struggles, as well as what happens when they meet again as adults. I loved writing this book. I love stories of overcoming obstacles, even if they are gritty and hard. It's one I've lived, and one I've seen many other people live. Book Two is on it's way. :)
Here's some of the blurb-
What could drive best friends apart?
Once Miranda, her little sister Cassie and Jason were inseparable—homeless teens standing together against the rest of the world.
But those days are long gone.
Unable to deal with the ghosts of her past any longer, MirandaTemple abandons her life and everyone she knew, determined to carve a new identity.
Jason swears his friendship with her is ruined. But as Miranda and Jason worry about Cassie, they start to rediscover each other and learn how to forgive. But with so many scars separating them, can they learn to trust each other again?

Hey YA readin' beasts!For the next couple of weeks I'm giving away a few free ebook versions of my latest historical fantasy to Goodreads members, in exchange for an honest review (on Goodreads, Amazon, or both).
It's called The Sixteen Burdens and explores the idea that humanity's great historical figures had supernatural talents. It takes place in 1930s Hollywood; think of it like a historical X-Men.
If you're interested, send me a private message and I'll hook you up with a mobi or PDF file.
Best,

I've been getting some good feedback from some friends who have read my book, "The Flame"I'm hoping some people in this group would find it a good read as well. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Hi, I'm Aileen. I just published my first YA book, The Darkness of Peoh
, this summer. I was inspired to write it by watching The Wizard of Oz, and also because I wanted to do some twists on typical teen fiction themes. The book is a fantasy about a girl named Dorothy Everglade who has to leave her home in the Land of Peoh's Gray District, and go work in the dangerous Tar-Pit mines. Along the way, she makes new friends and finds herself inadvertently getting into trouble with the government! It's the first in a trilogy; the second book should be coming out next year.
Hello readers/reviewers/bloggers/authors!My name is C.E. Wilson and I'm looking for interested reviewers in my latest Young Adult book, "Five Seven Five". It is the first in a two book series called "The Boy with Words". Please check out my summary below:
When eighteen-year-old White Frost has the only light in her life suddenly extinguished, she has no choice but to find out what lies beyond her world of darkness. Thanks to cryptic collections of words given to her by her cousin, she knows that something different lies beyond the borders of her home, but nothing could have prepared her for the truth. Suddenly, she’s bombarded with a world that doesn’t seem sized to fit her, colors brighter than anything she’d ever imagined, and a being who may or may not be the Creator of her people.
Meet Kestrel – a lonely college freshman who is just trying to get an ‘A’ in his poetry class when he happens upon a legend from the past.
The two soon form a bond based on White’s desire to obtain knowledge and Kes’ unexplainable ability to dispense it through a black box he calls a cell phone. Their friendship continues to grow, but White wonders if her newfound information will come at a price. She isn’t supposed to be in this place and she’s certainly not supposed to be hanging out with a Creator – despite his humanlike appearance. Is it possible that these two are more alike than they ever thought possible? Or is White Frost better off staying safely in her own world, hidden in the shadows, where blues skies and green grass are nothing more than sloppily written words on crumpled pages?
For those readers, bloggers, reviewer or fellow authors, I am willing to provide PAPERBACK copies (US ONLY) in exchange for prompt and honest reviews. I am also more than happy to send ecopies via Amazon. Drop me a line or shoot me a message if interested!!
Have a wonderful day.

I thought I would introduce Harry Bobbington a little better.
This is a chapters book about a Boy called Harry. He lives with his family in a rather nice house in London.
The book is set out to run across two days. There are 18 chapters and lots of fun inside the book.
Harry is in himself very outgoing and He acts near enough all the way through the book.
The Bobbingtons are the most average functional modern day family and the adore each other in the normal dont talk to me way.
But in essence the book keeps anybody reading it until their eyes need to close.
It has a day trips to the beach the chapter is entitled Crabs and apple floaters. Which is more than funny. It explores our solar system and it has lots of songs and fun things to say and do.
There are bedtime stories in the book that that will give any parent a lot of fun.
Over the short period of this year 1026 Harry Bobbington Books have been purchased. We are very much believing in Bobbington.
One of our readers has also told us that their child's school grades have improved dramatically in English writing because of Harry Bobbington. Were making a trip to a lot of schools in the new year and we cannot wait.
Please take a bit of time out of your life to look at Harry Bobbington.
It is Available on Amazon Paperback £4.99 and Kindle £1.99
It was written for the world to enjoy. As it has been noted it is a release from the mundane day to day.
Its up to you here is the link that I think you should click.

YA Debut, THE PACKING HOUSE by G. Donald CribbsLimited number of eARCs are available for review!
Book Description: When sixteen-year-old Joel Scrivener has a raging nightmare in study hall and someone records it on their phone, he awakens to a living nightmare where everyone knows the secret he's avoided for ten years. Reeling from a series of bullying incidents posted on YouTube and an ill-timed mid-year move, Joel takes to the woods, leaving the bullies and his broken home behind. However, life as a runaway isn’t easy. Joel finds it difficult to navigate break-ins, wrestle hallucinations, and elude capture. He races to figure out who his dream-world attacker could be, piecing clues together with flashes of remembered images that play endlessly inside his head. Besides these images, the one constant thought occupying Joel’s mind is Amber Walker, the girl he’s been in love with for years. Amber sees little beyond the broken boy Joel has become, despite the letters they’ve written back and forth to each other. But Joel is stronger and more resilient than he looks, and it’s time he convinces Amber of this fact, before he runs out of chances with her for good.

Thank you!
Eugen opened a case and placed it on a bench where I could see it. It was full of syringes of varying sizes. The healers in Koraliss used syringes to treat the sick, but I had never seen such large ones. He picked one up and held it up to the light. It was full of an opaque blue liquid. It looked thick, like a gel, but when he pressed on the end of it, droplets the consistency of water spurted out the top. I squirmed, but my hands and legs were bound tightly to the table. I strained my neck, trying to keep Eugen in my eye line. He kept talking.‘What we don’t know, is why you were running. The Chamber is very keen to find you, so either you stole something from them, or you have information. I suspect the latter. What I need from you today – I think you will find it is very reasonable – is for you to tell me exactly what it is you know, and why you were running from the Chamber. In return, I won’t insert this into your inner thigh.’

I was hoping to have a few people read and review my Young adult/ Fantasy novel Faithfully Shattered. I have made it available for free from January 4-6th. Thank you :) http://www.amazon.com/Faithfully-Shat...
I wrote the YA I wished I could have read as a teen:
Innocence Cooper was born to rule. She will inherit leadership of the Council of good magic when her father dies or retires. Every witch in the world knows her name. None can ever know her secret.
Her active power - controlling fire - is granted by the evil spirits, not the good ones. A prophecy made decades before her birth declares she will rule over all evil magic.
For seventeen years, Innocence has done the best she can to ignore it. But then the new kid reveals he knows her secret, he shares her power and he came to recruit her.
Her secret is getting out.
The second in the series is also available:
Hi everyone,I'd like to introduce my ebook When Saigon Surrendered: A Kentucky Mystery to Young Adult fans. I think many of you would like it very much.
My readers so far have given it excellent reviews. It is the story of an 18 year old Kentucky farm boy who discovers a dark family secret when the Vietnam War ends. He sets out to unravel a
strange mystery and recruits a couple of high school friends to take on some very evil people.
Several teenage readers have told me they loved it and have asked about a sequel. A sequel is indeed in the works and will probably be out late this year.
Anyway, in order to introduce it to more Young Adult fans, I am willing to loan it free for two weeks to a few folks who would like to try it. You can email me at authorjamesaura@gmail.com
You'll need an Amazon account for the loan.
Otherwise you can buy it from Amazon, Smashwords or Barnes & Noble for $2.99.
Here are the links for that.
Cheers,
James

Hi everyone! My name is Katie Jaros and I am new to Addicted to YA...really loving this group and all the great discussions. My novel "Lost Souls" was recently published by Bonne Chance Books in my hometown of Seattle. It's the first book in a trilogy-- the second book, "Hellbound" is set to print November 2016. I hope you check it out! It leans more New Adult than Young Adult-- there is strong language, sexuality, and violence. I've included the back matter below-- hope you dig it!
As a hard partying senior at Sacred Heart High School, Christa Nichols was used to people telling her she was bad at making choices. But when a car accident awakens her to the secret world of Angels and Demons, she realizes for the first time the weight her decisions truly have.
Now caught in the middle of a life-long rivalry between a classic-rock loving Guardian Angel and a Demonic club promoter, Christa won’t just need to use her wits to survive… she’ll need them to save her mother’s soul.
Lost Souls takes you on a journey through a world where Guardian Angels masquerade as the homeless and business-savvy Demons trade souls like they're on the NYSE.
Full of romance, horror, and food trucks; Lost Souls is fun at its most Divine.

I just recently published my book The Rising (Supernaturals book 1) and am trying to get the word out to potential readers. If you enjoy superheroes of any kind, X-men, Percy Jackson, or things of similar nature then you'll enjoy this book. Here's a summary: If you like fantasy, my book The Rising (Supernaturals book 1) should be right up your alley. It definitely has humor and a little romance thrown in as well. Here's a summary:
Ethan is just an ordinary teenage boy--infatuated with sports music and, of course, girls. Or so he thinks. Heading home on a rainy night from an amateur guitar gig, he finds his life turned completely upside down--literally. His car spins and flips out of control after what he believes to be a small animal jumps out in front of him. The horrific accident is only the beginning of a series of mysterious and seemingly unrelated events that will change his life forever.
After awaking in the hospital, and following an encounter with an enigmatic doctor, Ethan discovers that something that occurred during the wreck allows him to hear others' thoughts, and even more perplexing, move objects with his mind. While trying to wrap his head around this mystery, he realizes he's not alone. There are others out there with special powers. Not long after learning of this new world, Ethan's ever increasing lack of control places those around him at serious risk. In order to protect those he loves, he makes the difficult decision to leave and accepts an offer to attend specialized training along with other so called Supernaturals to gain command over his newfound gifts. Shortly after beginning his schooling, Ethan is sent on a mission to kidnap who he believes to be the enemy leader in a well concealed Supernaturals war. But the further he becomes embedded in this new world, the more he discovers things are not quite what they seem and doesn't know who can be trusted.
In this first installment of the Supernaturals series, Ethan discovers that super powers aren't always so super, and is faced with difficult decisions that will not only affect his own life, but which may determine the life or death of his newfound companions and mentor.

Hi Everyone. The Rez's Edge - Destruction & Redemption
One of my books, THE REZ's EDGE, is here on GoodReads:
The Rez's Edge - Destruction & Redemption
REZ's EDGE is about growing up as a white kid next to an Indian Reservation with American Indian friends, enemies, and classmates. That was my life back in the 1970's; disco, heavy metal, rock and roll, bell bottom jeans, and racism. The book, though, is fictional. I just used a lot of things from my past in it's creation.
I write to pull one into the shoes and body of my characters. I want my readers living an alternate life when they are engulfed in my books. I spell this out further in my BIO (About Brad Jensen), which you'll find right next to my book description. Give it a read, if you want.
If anyone has any killer recommendations for a YA coming of age or youth adventure novels, I'm all ears. Drop me a note!
If you're interested in reading two pre-released chapters in THE REZ's EDGE for free, you can do that on my website here:
http://bradjensen.wixsite.com/authorb...
Just scroll down and click the "Membership Access" button, underneath the Indian Powwow Boy.
Tell me what you think about the chapter, the overall concept of the book, and shoot me any and all constructive criticism (I can take it, I think? ... =8). (There is a place right after each chapter where you can leave your comments... THANKS!)
THE REZ's EDGE is not yet published, but I'm working on that issue right now. I'll be shouting and proclaiming it when it is released. Wish me luck.
Stay Adventurous & Keep READING!

Grace "Gray" Fable can see ghosts, and she's just transferred to Willowbrook High School where there was a school shooting five years before....
The first review is in! "This beautifully-crafted debut novel will likely find an eager audience, demanding follow-up books."

My YA trilogy HIGH SCHOOL HELL was just released:Heart of Stone
Heart of Clay
Heart of Flesh
High School Hell is what happens when unpopular girl Samantha Abraham falls hopelessly in love with a dreamy exchange student, Joshua, who just so happens to turn out to be a lab-created golem. No one wants her to have a normal social life—not her secretly crushing BFF Duckie; Joshua’s creator The Professor; the secret society of mad necromancer scientists; or the hometown cheerleader bullies. Sam is thrust into a world of weird science and deadly stakes as she tries to get through school and save her boyfriend’s life.
This series is described as a mash up of Sixteen Candles, Young Frankenstein, & The Naked Gun.
