I only need 2 things from reviewers: 1) a url where I can see some of your reviews, and 2) an email address so that I can gift you a Kindle copy.
You'll need a Kindle, Kindle app or Kindle-for-PC to read "Since Tomorrow".
Please message me here on Goodreads.

Anybody who would like to review the novel can contact me at zaruta@verizon.net and I can send you any format you'd like.

The Three Moons Realm Novel
http://www.amazon.com/The-Three-Moons...

"The Kure" is a paranormal-occult romance based on the historical dark practices of the "virgin cure." The story is set in 1860's Kentucky and follows the story (and burgeoning romance) of John and Sarah, who meet under quite unusual circumstances. Because of the nature of the story and content, it is suited for a mature, adult reader.
The KURE

"The Possibilities of Amy" is a coming-of-age story about David, a high school senior, who falls in love at first sight with the new transfer student, Amy. Unfortunately, David's buddies have also noticed Amy, and are planning a contest to see who can be the first to seduce her. David is caught in the middle and has to decide whether to pursue, and protect, his new love interest, or align with his friends. The story contains some mature language.
The Possibilities of Amy

"The Cruise-All That Glitters" is a humorous adult satire on romance about Dean, a 30-something single guy who is taking his first cruise, hoping to find a boatload of beautiful women to have his way with. This is a twisting, sharp, satirical comedy and Dean is a real piece of work. So fair warning - this one is not for the easily offended or overly-sensitive.
The story contains mature language and adult situations.
The Cruise - All That Glitters

Thank you for your consideration.

Any historical romance readers out there?
I'd love a review for "Hope's Betrayal"
Here is the blurb:
One wild, winter's night two worlds collide.
Known for his ruthless efficiency, Captain George Huntley is sent to stamp out smuggling on the south coast of England. On a night raid, the Captain captures a smuggler, but finds his troubles are just beginning when the lad turns out to be a lass, Hope Tyler.
With Hope as bait, the Captain sets a trap to catch the rest of the gang. But in a battle of wills, with his reputation at stake, George Huntley starts to respect feisty, independent Hope. Challenged by her sea-green eyes and stubborn loyalty Huntley now faces a new threat - his growing attraction to a sworn enemy. But a love where either Hope betrays her own kind, or Captain Huntley is court-marshaled, is not an easy destiny to follow.
I can email the pdf to you, or send a smashwords voucher - whichever you prefer.

School sucks. Classes suck. Teachers suck. Everything sucks.
College freshman Jeep Trembley can’t wait to transfer to a better school. All he needs are better marks. Too bad he can’t concentrate. On anything. Especially not when his raging hormones are out of control, his best friend is his belligerent conscience and one of his teachers is a sadist who’d rather insult students than lecture them.
For someone possessing a shorter attention span than a neurotic five year old, just getting through the school year will prove to be a bigger challenge than expected for Jeep.

My novel, Fey Touched, is a blend of sci-fi and fantasy, which makes it utterly unique. Here's the blurb:
Two sisters.
Asha is the Queen of the Fey, genetically engineered immortal humans who feed on human souls to survive. But she's running from her people. When she is found by her enemy, one of the Hunters of the Fey, she expects to die. Yet he's oddly intrigued by her, and Asha finds herself falling in love with him, hoping she can find safety and the home she's been seeking. Then she's kidnapped, and everything changes.
Fallon is a Hunter. She's looking for her long-lost sister, using an addictive drug to search through the stream of time. Her addiction leaves her dangerously exposed to her enemies but, consumed by her search, she doesn't care...until her fellow Hunters start dying from a mysterious illness. She is torn between duty and desire, and must find an answer before they all die.
What Fallon doesn't know is that Asha might just be the key to saving them all, if only she can find her.
And time is running out.
PLEASE NOTE that this book contains explicit language, explicit sex, and graphic violence and is not suitable for those under 18.
I can provide either a PRC file (Kindle) or a PDF. Possibly a physical copy, but that's been delayed a bit and I'm not sure when it will be available (it will be soon though).
Thank you in advance.

Sound interesting? It's the synopsis for my recently released mystery novel titled Anywhere But Here. It's only available in ebook format, but if you want to review it I'll be glad to provide a PDF of it to you. Just email me at sherrithewriter@yahoo.com and I'll be glad to send it.
Thanks!


What will happen? Find out in my young adult mystery novel titled "Blurry." People that read this book rave to me about it, but unfortunately they usually aren't savvy enough to go online and post a review - hense, I am asking for YOUR help. It's a short read and moves very quickly. I hope you're interested in giving it a read/review.
I can provide this as a PDF - just email me at sherrithewriter@yahoo.com if you're interested.
Thanks!


I would be willing to gift a few kindle copies if anyone was interested in offering an honest review. And, I would also be interested in a trade. If there are any authors out there who find my book interesting and think I might like their book. I'd be willing to offer up a review in exchange for one.

Ivy Daniels is a high school junior still learning who she is. After almost drowning, Ivy finds herself with an ability she doesn’t want, an ability to uncover secrets which quickly begins to redefine what she thinks about the people around her as well as herself. Because of this ability, Ivy becomes the one thing that stands between an angry teen and the death of every student on campus. The only problem is she doesn’t know who wants everyone dead. Will she figure out whose secret is that they’re planning to blow up her school, or will she fail to find him in time?
Through her search to do the right thing, Ivy discovers that knowing the thoughts and secrets of those around her may just tear her apart.
Please message me on Goodreads if you are interesting in reviewing or trading for a review.

This week it's free on Amazon. After it goes paid, I can share it with anyone who's interested. Thanks!
Underground Nest

Live Undead tour the country, bringing their blood-slicked shock rock to out of the way dives and underground clubs. Their obsessed fans follow them from city to city, unaware of the band's horrifying secret. The lacerated throats and acts of self-mutilation isn't simply makeup and effects – it's all real. The members of Live Undead are vampires. They prey on the black-clad, disaffected, and depressed teenagers who flock to their shows, while leaving a trail of dead bodies in their wake.
Depressed, sexually confused, and bullied at school, Nothing desperately longs for escape. He dreams of rock and roll stardom and thousands of adoring fans, but will settle with knowing what it's like to be special. That's the question he needs answered when he finally gets his chance to meet Live Undead.
Eric's life has been in a downward spiral ever since his pregnant girlfriend went missing thirteen years ago after a concert. When Eric stumbles across Live Undead, he's shocked by their uncanny resemblance to the band that had played the night his life changed forever.
Inspired by splatterpunk novels of the late 1980s and early 1990s, LIVE UNDEAD contains depictions of explicit sex, gruesome horror and graphic violence. Reader discretion is advised.
If the idea of reviewing a vampire book with gay sex, heavy metal and the occasional bit of necrophilia interests you, message me. I'm willing to gift a Kindle version or provide a PDF.

FYI guys! I've read blurry it's a solid 3 star book in my opinion! Here's my review if you're interested:

It is:
A Young Adult Fantasy
About 60,000 words
A spin off of the popular 15th century Melusine faerie tale
Dark and whimsical with humor and drama
http://www.amazon.com/Nandanas-Queen-...
the first chapter is also on my website as a pdf:
www.heidigwrites.blogspot.com
Melia is an eighteen-year-old half-faerie. She really wants to fly, but she doesn’t have wings. She lives in Illialei, a country in the Realm of Faerie, where all the full-blooded faeries do have wings.
Being a half-faerie brings her other challenges as well. Her mortal father is a druid who wants to incarnate Umbra—the one entity everyone in Illialei and the rest of the Enchanted World fears.
Umbra is tricky because he is incorporeal, and making any connection with his consciousness opens a door to his dark influence. Melia shares a telepathic relationship with her father, and his efforts to incarnate Umbra are effecting her in disturbing ways.
NANDANA’S MARK is about Melia’s first encounters with Umbra, and what happens when she challenges her father.She also gets her wings—in an unexpected way—and discovers the truth of who she is.

I am looking for reviews for my educational kids book "Looking and Seeing Learning to Observe". It is addressed to kids 8 or 9 to 12yrs. It has been accepted into two library systems in my area and I've sent it to a few schools - one teacher has adopted it for her second grade class. I'm not sure how else to get it out there.
Here is the back cover descriptive blurb:
How well do you see what you are looking at? Practice and improve your observation habits with this little book, and learn how to enrich your life by seeing how interesting the world around you can be! Look at photographs from nature and find out how much you can see when you observe life like an expert does! For readers and nature lovers 9 to 12 years. Thanks for any feedback!
I hated being on guard duty, the constant walking up and down the parameter, in the freezing cold for hours on end, was not very appealing.
Book: Till Kingdom Come
Link:http://www.amazon.com/Till-Kingdom-Co...
Blurb:The Invasion of the Kingdom, by the newly united nations to the east, forces the world into turmoil and war. With a ill king, the Kingdom must step up and force out the invaders, in the process they learn the hard truths of the past, that they themself might be responsible for the war. The decisions sons must make in spit of there fathers, the choices a father must make for the safety of his son, and the realization a young woman comes to, that you can't always do what you want, be with who you want. But you have to do what is best for the grater good of the Kingdom.
The story also follows the relationship between the main characters, James & Jessica. The choices and sacrifices they make in the interest of what's best for the Kingdom. James raise in the army ranks from enlisted man to Field Marshal. Jessica a beautiful carefree young woman, whose personal tragedies not only shape her future, but forces her to put aside her own happiness. Their relationship is brought close and tore apart, by the constant fighting and hardship they both face on their way to there destiny's. Love,Sex,Imprisonment,Torture,Betrayal,War,Death,Family,Hope.
Till Kingdom Come is based in an alternate time period. The overall mood and character behavior along with the visual imagery is meant to be similar to the 1700’s and 1800’s. while there are innovations and teams, such as their weapons, belong to the 1800’s and 1900’s.
It’s my hope the combination of the two can complement each other, to give the reader the classic feel of history and antiquity while also giving justice to the only thing the human race has ever perfected, the ability to fight and wage war, no matter the reason or the cost.
Looking for reviews not only on book, but also, blurb and cover.

Inside all of us, there is darkness. Inside Clive, it's tangible, and it's aching to get out.
What Hides Within tells the story of a man held captive by an unknown evil. Clive Menard is a spineless slacker leading an ordinary existence. But when Chester enters his life, it becomes far from ordinary.
A disheveled Clive stands alone in a hospital waiting room. A series of incidences have led him to undergo unnecessary neurosurgery. A voice inside Clive’s head nags him to kill the doctor.
Weeks prior, a murder investigation and an unrelated kayaking excursion set the story’s interlocking events in motion. When a remorseful killer, a bomb-happy psychopath and a mysterious widow spider converge upon Clive, they bring with them destruction and death. Clive must discover who or what is steering his very existence before he, too, is consumed by the carnage around him.
With a driven detective following his every step and a vicious killer hiding within his circle of friends, Clive must walk a narrow and dangerous path, teetering between salvation and damnation. He must confront Chester and his own demons. But is he powerless to overcome them?

I've just posted the first half of my very first novel on www.authonomy.com Its getting brilliant reviews so far.

I hope that you will all enjoy it! Eeeeeek!

According to MM on Amazon.co.uk
...The book is an enchanting mixture of depth and lightness. It's existential but not daunting. It's funny but not silly. It's thought provoking but not depressing. It made me laugh loud and it made me tearful...
If you are interested message me here on Goodreads and I will provide the ebook in any requested format.

I would love more reviews about MOONSHADOWS.
Some people found it slow pacing, but others told me it was an unic story with great characters. What do you think?
MOONSHADOWS is the second installment in my Right Place Universe.
When Mira was turned into a werecat, she panicked. She ran away from her life and her boyfriend without a goodbye.
One year later, she’s on the verge of emotional and physical collapse, and answers are nowhere to be found. When the man she left behind shows up unexpectedly, Mira is so desperate to feel human again that she welcomes him back into her life despite her best resolves.
Erik has some questions of his own, and he won’t take no for an answer. He doesn’t believe in Supernatural, or in ancestral creatures. He wants a real explanation for her abandon. But when the new moon reveals the black panther inside Mira, he has no choice but to face the truth.
While the pair struggle to work out their issues, a killer lurks in the shadows. And its restraint is thinning…
You can read an extract on my website.
The novel is available on Amazon kindle - MOONSHADOWS
(I'll be grateful for liking/tagging!)

I'm looking for murder mystery readers interested in reviewing my new book. The first book in a series, Dark Side of Sunset Pointe – a Lance Underphal Mystery, is with the publisher for upload to Amazon. For more, please visit http://michaelallanscott.com.
Here's the back cover blurb:
"WHERE DARK SIDE’S VISIONS LEAD, YOU’LL NEVER GUESS . . .
Lance Underphal was devastated by his wife’s death. And now, the down and out crime-scene photographer can’t let her go. He wakes up plagued by premonitions. The double shooting of an Arizona real estate developer and his mistress/bookkeeper immerse Underphal in a world of incomprehensible phenomena.
Frank Salmon, the hard-boiled homicide detective on the case, does his best to blow off Underphal’s “visions.” But the murders keep piling up and the visions are all too real.
Salmon reluctantly pursues Underphal’s twists and turns, leading him from a popular strip club to a failing community bank, adding a blackmailing stripper’s murder to the body count.
Underphal struggles mightily with his psychic curse, teetering on the brink of insanity. His only hope for redemption is the voice in his head, the voice of his dead wife. Stumbling through dark vortexes of murderous intrigue, he comes to realize his visions will either kill him or lead to the capture of a killer–maybe more than one."
Let me know if you're interested and I'll see that you get a review copy.
Thank you,
Michael Allan Scott
