Hi
I recently published my first erotic romance.
I did get a 5 star review on Smashwords after a couple of days (yay!), but nothing on Goodreads as yet, so I'm really hoping some of you out there would be kind enough to read it and leave an honest review.
If it's your kind of thing please let me know and I'll email you the coupon code so you can download a free copy in the format of your choice from Smashwords.
Thanks.
I'm looking for some more feedback and reviews for my book, BLOODLINE. I am gifting a couple of copies to the first who respond!!!I've done yet another edit (I am striving for a book that is error-free) and just published a brand new, professionally designed cover!
Sixteen-year-old Alex has always suspected her father’s death wasn’t random, but she never guessed how deep the mystery runs or what it involves. When a rare meteor shower is followed by a highly contagious infection, the people she once knew so well start acting like they have a similar purpose that doesn’t include her. Alex can now only rely on her friend Chris and loyal dog Baxter as she plunges into a strange, new world predestined since ancient times. Wandering the mountains of the Pacific Northwest, deciphering cryptic messages left by her father, desperately searching for a cure-will Alex have the courage and faith to even survive?
Bloodline is the first book of the Forgotten Origins Trilogy.

Great stories told in 1,000 words or less to fill those times between sleeping and working. In this book you’ll learn that burying a body in the woods is difficult when you’re being haunted by a doll. You’ll discover a new underworld of humans upgrading their bodies with inexpensive electronics. And you’ll go on an adventure with Oake and discover that there is more to his meager existence than meets the eye and the path to truth is through a fruit. These and many more stories await inside…
The book was recently released so any reviews would be helpful. I can give you a mobi or PDF copy. Message me if your interested.
Thanks.

Title: There Are No Men
Book Synopsis:
Divorced thirty-something Claire doesn’t know who’s in her dating pool—but she’s doing her best to avoid shark infested waters. Leaving her clueless and insensitive husband behind was a smart move after losing her fertility, but now she’s riding the wave of flying toupees, strange men in leather thongs and drunken nights in painfully impractical shoes. Claire desperately wanted to be a mother, but now she’ll settle for one middle aged man worthy of a second date.
After a long drought, men are flooding her shores and she’s drowning in choices. There’s Justin, the 25-year-old IT boy-genius with the GQ looks and cougar fetish, who won’t take ‘no’ for an answer. A woman would have to be a blind, lesbian nun not to fall for him, but he reminds Claire of her wasted youth. And then the charming but mysterious Dr. Nathan appears, but he’s cheating on her with his medical mistress—a demanding cardiology practice.
To further rock her boat, Claire’s ‘stable’ career in publishing has been tossed about by her floundering company’s launch of a new line of trendy, salacious books. Cookbooks aren’t selling these days, but erotica is flying off the shelves—and challenging Claire’s attitude about sex, work . . . and her tempestuous new life.
When her best friend convinces her to buddy up to the aspiring writer who just moved in across the street, Claire rejects the idea—he has already caught her in more than one embarrassing and scantily clad situation. Giving in to her friend’s nudging, she tries to ignore the details she discovers about him, including his hard rock night gig and his mesmerizing blue eyes, in the hopes his literary talents can pull her publishing house up from the bottom of the ocean.
Claire’s dilemma begs the question: Are there NO men or TOO MANY?

Hi, all. My newest release is The Secret Life of Lucy Bosman. It is a work of historic fiction and is FREE for the holidays on Amazon. Below is the synopsis:Lucy Bosman is a shrewd business woman in a day and time not too amenable to the dreams and desires of women - especially colored women. The widow of an ex-slave and well-educated, the mulatto woman had great plans to start over and make a life for herself when she left her hometown of Nashville, Tennessee and headed further South in the spring of 1860. Two years later, Lucy is planted firmly in Richmond, Virginia, running a successful business while passing as a white woman and avoiding the personal attentions and promises of love by plantation owner, Thomas Parker. She has managed to keep her identity a secret from the town and Thomas, but the looming Civil War threatens to change everything. In The Secret Life of Lucy Bosman, nothing is safe from the destruction of war and secrets. Not even the dreams and heart of a single mulatto woman.
Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/The-Secret-Life...
I'd be happy to send a PDF galley copy as well if you are not able to get the book until after the holidays.
Thanks,
Rebekah

Hi all, and thanks for this thread. I have a few books available. The first is an apocolyptic sci-fi thriller titled Splinter:The end of the world is just the beginning ...
The year is 3001, and history takes a critical turn when Earth is destroyed by a solar flare. As Dr. Leigh Lybrand and her colleagues explore ways to survive in orbit of Jupiter, dark matter rips open the fabric of space and time, allowing them to see parallel universes. When the visions reveal that a radical religious group planned Earth’s destruction, Leigh must make a choice: Accept her fate or use what she’s learned to save humanity; even if it means betraying the one closest to her in a parallel universe and sacrificing herself in this one.
Please message me with your email address and I'll be glad to send you a pdf of the manuscript.
Next up is a mystery titled Anywhere But Here:Meet Jana Lanning: A recent college graduate who can't seem to get a grip on life. All of her plans for the future have fallen apart within two weeks of graduation. The only comfort she finds is in a mysterious music box sent to her by a friend. At first she looks to it for comforting memories of her past, but soon she's having strange dreams of a life where she's the queen of a world where everything she desires comes to pass. It seems ideal until elements of reality and her dream world start to merge, leaving her ill and confused. When she's confronted by attacks in both worlds she must face her demons and choose which reality she prefers; and what price she'll pay to keep it.
Please message me with your email address and I'll be glad to send you a pdf of the manuscript.
Next up is a urban fantasy mystery titled book:Move|18248031]:Be careful what you wish for ... All Ruby Josen wanted was to get ahead in life. After a decade of lost relationships and missed opportunities, she's ready to move on and desperate to do whatever it takes to get out of her rut. When Ruby meets Bryce, a handsome stranger at the town's spring festival, his offer to turn fate to her favor seems too good to be true. But everything has a price, and Ruby learns that interfering with fate has bigger consequences than she realized. It leaves her to wonder who's really controlling her life and who - or what - Bryce really is.

Detective Claire Barnes thought the case that haunted Tanger Falls, Tennessee, for three and a half years was nearing it's final days as the accused is scheduled to stand trial. It seems like an open and shut case, until a database hack unravels evidence that was once unquestionable. Now Claire finds herself chasing forgotten leads and remembering things from the case that faded from both case files and memory. When a witness name keeps turning up in the modified files, Claire wonders what else the Town of Tanger Falls forgot; and who's trying to tear apart the case that tore their town apart.

***FREE JAN 1-3***Into the Darkness by Kira Adams
Na Zombie Novel
It was supposed to be a way to end the devastation in the Middle East, but instead a darkness is unleashed unlike anything the world has ever seen before.
Ike Glass is well versed in chaos, but even he is unprepared for what the world will become after the outbreak. Ace Cullen has been loyal to his country ever since he was brought to the states as a young boy, but it’s difficult to stand by a country that can’t even take responsibility for their own actions. Phoenix Blue just wants a night of mindless sex… is that too much to ask? Always a black sheep, she shocks everyone as she finds the strength inside herself to protect the ones she cares about, and fight to see another day. They were strangers when the virus took over, but tragedy will bring them together in ways they never thought possible as they descend into the darkness.

>>What reviewers are saying:
“I have read several zombie books and I was really surprised by this one, the storyline is different from other zombie books and in a good way. I love the different povs you get in this story and just like with Kira's other books she really draws you into the story and makes you feel like you are really there. This is such a great book by one of my favorite authors and I can't wait to see what she has in store next!”
“This book truly is amazing. There's everything you could want. A main character that isn't a pansy, a swoon-worthy British man, zombies!, and twists and turns that you'll never see coming! If you're a post-apocalyptic fan, you will surely love Into the Darkness. I know I cannot wait for the next book in this series!”

Here’s a bit about the book:
One second.
Seventeen-year-old Corinne has everything. Her life. Family. Friends. Boyfriend. But in that one second, she loses it all. Now she’s left with harrowing nightmares. Hallucinations. And panic attacks that seem to come out of nowhere. She tries everything to take the pain away, but there’s only one option she sees as a true way out.
When Corinne is sent to live in a psychiatric institution, she doesn’t want to talk. It’s pointless. They can’t help her. But slowly Corinne opens up and wants to remember what it’s like to be happy so she begins reliving her past life to her doctor. She knows she can’t live in the past, but she sees no future and is faced with the hardest decision of her life.
Thank y’all so much for considering Pieces of Me for review!

He can’t play the hero all the time, and one day soon Jace is going to come face to face with that reality—and let’s face it, it won’t be pretty.
Get your hands on Jace’s story before it's too late!

>>What reviewers are saying:
“Kira Adams writes in such a personal and emotional way. I always get caught up in her books because I become so invested in her characters. I loved Peyton from Pieces of Me, the first book in this series. I was nervous about how I would react to Jace in The Fighter. But of course, Kira didn't let me down. This was a beautiful and bittersweet book that I'm so glad I read.”
“Kira Adams... Book one sucked me in like I was nothing. Book two was exactly the same. This story picked up right where book one left off. Hearing Jace's voice and feeling everything he felt and I mean feeling EVERYTHING! Was heart-wrenching. This was like watching a Lifetime movie. There was so much that has happened in two years’ time. So much death. You cannot read this and not feel something.”
Start with the first book in the series, Pieces of Me for just .99 cents as well!

Free through March 2, A Knucklehead in 1920s Alaska is my father's story of a 19-year-old hot-head who went to Alaska to work for college money. He didn't take guff kindly, but since guff is often directed at new employees, he had a lot of jobs from pearl-diver (dishwasher) to digging underground for gold.

THE LITTLE SENTINEL OF THE SIERRA NEVADA
A NOVEL BY PAUL WILLIAMS
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Sentin...…
It is 1846 and Sarah Harlan is just thirteen when she sets out with her family on the great trek West to California. Confident and assured beyond her years, schooled and shaped by the Father she adores, Sarah believes life has little more to teach her. But this is a journey like no other. In crossing a Continent they must face all Nature can unleash upon them; tempests and floods; raging rivers and scorching deserts; disease and starvation.
To face these challenges and overcome them, Sarah must also take her own journey of discovery. Encouraged by her cousin Nathan, she must look within and find the truth of who she wishes to be, of who she must be.
Before her long journey is through her strength and resolve will be tested beyond endurance as, above and beyond the torments of the road before them, their small group must face the cruelty and corruption of their fellow travellers. A disagreement between two groups that will fester and grow; a poison that will cast a shadow across their path, until one last bloody confrontation high in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
