Twenty years ago, Nick broke teenager Lynsey’s heart when he decided to marry another. He had his own private reasons—reasons he never explained to Lynsey. Now she is back, along with a chance to reclaim her love. But Lynsey wants answers from him that he may never be able to give out of duty and guilt.” Continue reading FMB Blog Tour: Back to You →

An Evening with the Cast of Serenya’s Song #4: Lillyanne

Setting: The Wasted Witch

That’s my seat, stranger. Never mind. Ye’ve got the old red-eye already. The name’s Lillyanne Sawyer. My friends call me Lilly. What, ye’ve never seen a halfling before? Better go easy on Barnaby’s Ale. It’s smooth as a royal consort the first mug or two, but it’ll yank the ground from under yer feet if ye drink a drop too much.

Who am I kiddin’? I’ve been preachin’ at that wood-elf over there, Jayden, or Jay as I call ‘im, for ten years, and I might as well be talkin’ to this bar stool. We work together, or did, back in Leogard.

And now look at ‘im. Drownin’ his sorrows in ale. I told him he should’ve never married Lady Caliphany. I could tell she was a man-eater from the first day I laid eyes on ‘er. I’ll give ‘im credit for walkin’ away when he did. Least he didn’t buy into ‘er martyr routine. She was willin’ to stay with ‘im, but she’d have never loved ‘im like she did that half-elf rogue of ‘ers.

I finally talked Jay into movin’ here to Summerwind. It’s where I grew up with the rest of my people, the Haddo. Perfect town to settle in. I decided to come back for good after Jay stepped down. It was time to leave all the hobnobbin’ and favor-mongerin’ in Leogard far behind me. Continue reading Blog Tour: Serenya’s Song →

Blog Tour: Shadow on the Wall

Blog Tour, Excerpts, , , ,

           

I know I’m running a little late today, but I do want to welcome Pavarti K Tyler’s Blog Tour for her new book, Shadow on the Wall. Check out the first book in The Sandstorm Chronicles to see a new breed of super hero emerging, totally different than what you’re used to.

Blurb:

Controversial and daring, Shadow on the Wall details the transformation of Recai Osman from complicated man to Superhero. Forced to witness the cruelty of the Morality Police in his home city of Elih, Turkey, Recai is called upon by the power of the desert to be the vehicle of change. Does he have the strength to answer Allah’s call or will his dark past and self doubt stand in his way?

Pulling on his faith in Allah, the friendship of a Jewish father-figure and a deeply held belief that his people deserve better, Recai Osman must become The SandStorm.

In the tradition of books by Margaret Atwood and Salman Rushdie, Shadow on the Wall tackles issues of religion, gender, corruption and the basic human condition. Beautiful and challenging, this is not a book to miss. Continue reading Blog Tour: Shadow on the Wall →

Guest Post: Patti Gibble

Blog Tour, Guest Post, , ,

Today I have the pleasure of being a stop on Patti Gibble’s book tour for her book, 10 Powerful Tips for Training Unstoppable Children. Certainly, this is a must-read for any parents out there that want to ensure their children’s success.  Patti was kind enough to write up a little piece for us – enjoy!

Dear Discerning Readers,

Everything you read, see or imagine is not always good for you! You must discern what things you let into your mind and what things you don’t let into your mind. Of course you have free choice so it is up to you but you might want to consider what is good for your mind and what is not good for your mind. “Your mind is more important than you know” ~ Dr. Mike Murdock. Your mind is more important than your body, your friends or your family. If you don’t take care of your mind you can’t take care of anybody! Again, when you start taking care of your mind by knowing what is good for your mind and what is not good for your mind then you can take care of yourself and others. Continue reading Guest Post: Patti Gibble →

Guest Post: Gemma from Charade

Blog Tour, Interviews, , , , , ,

Today I have the wonderful Gemma from Cambria Hebert’s newest novel, Charade! Feel free to check out my review and then dig into some tough questions with the newest cast member in this great series!

First: The book!

Blurb:

Dying at the hands of a psycho was a shock. Having my life returned to me by an angel was
incredible. Being named a Supernatural Treasure and being given Sam as my guard was
pretty darn awesome. Acquiring a debt for it all—well, I should have seen it coming.

Now here we are, fighting demons from Hell, caring for a boy that I just don’t trust, and
traveling to faraway places to return a treasure to its rightful place. Nothing is as it seems.
Everyone wears a mask; everyone puts on a charade. It’s up to us to separate the truth from
the lies and reality from fiction. A hard task when my new reality involves fallen angels,
witches and dragons… and did I mention Hell?

Anchoring me down through it all is Sam. Sam, who must face tragedies of his own and is
put to the test again and again.

If we fail in our task, life as we know it—life as you know it—will end. Forever.

Excerpt: Blind Veil

Blog Tour, Excerpts, , , , ,

Today I have Michael Lorde, author of Blind Veil, here with me to share some excerpts as part of his blog tour. This book has been getting great reviews, so read all the excerpts (they are long but worth it) and follow his links at the end of the post. First, a little about Micheal!

About Michael Lorde

Michael  was raised in a rural town in upstate New York and has two sons and two daughters.  After living in a warmer climate for nearly thirty years,  Michael has since moved back north with the youngest daughter of the four.  They are dog lovers and have two.  Blind Veil is Michaels debut novel.

 

Blurb:

How can an unreported crime that occurred forty years in the past,and across the country, affect a New York City Cop today?

Can a seemingly innocent boat ride forever change the life of a former Marine?

Find out when a Police Officer meets an eccentric scientist who claims to hold secret knowledge that has been hidden from the rest of society.

Is this all truly happening, or is he slowly losing his grip on reality? Unfortunately, neither conclusion between the two worlds is better than the other as the clarifying line between reality and impossibility slowly disintegrates, turning his world upside down.

He must dig thirty years into his past; deep beneath the veil and the mesh of murder, lies and deceit to find answers.

Follow the trail of events that will forever shape his future… and maybe yours.
