Welcome to my read-along answers for Masquerade by Cambria Hebert! This week’s questions were provided by Five Alarm Book Review and next week’s questions will be at Candace at Candace’s Book Blog.

Hope you enjoy! And if you haven’t read this book yet, what are you waiting for!?

Week 1/ Chapters 1-8 Discussion Questions

1. If you were disfigured like Heven (by some sort of accident) do you think you would have reacted the same way as her? (loss of self-confidence, hiding yourself, etc) Continue reading Masquerade (Heven and Hell #1) Read-Along Week 1 →

Updated Review Policy

Blog, , ,

I have decided to update my review policy as it pertains to which books are given preference over others. Previously, this was strictly ‘first come, first served.’ However, I have decided to give a preference to those who give a hard (physical) copy.

This does not really change much, as I review a lot more digital copies than physical copies, but I feel that this is fair since those authors have a real ‘cost’ to sending out physical copies.

As always, I will try to accommodate requests to have books read for blog tours/release dates.

Feel free to contact me with any questions/concerns.

Status Update: Editing Schedule

Blog, ,

So, it’s been a while since I’ve done an update, so I feel it’s about time.

I’ve had a lot of work going on with Splitter for his books and blog tour, but my role in that is mostly done until he gets his next draft done. The few other projects I’ve gotten in between then and now are done, with the exception of the sci-fi piece. The sci-fi piece has a lot of potential, but it does need revised a fair bit before I’d call it shelf-worthy. I will probably need a few beta readers for it as well, so if anyone is interested please let me know.

So, I’m in the market for a few new pieces to work on in the upcoming months. Depending on the length, I would ideally like to take on another 2-3 projects for March/early April. I work mostly with Indies, and in any genre, though I prefer fantasy and paranormal.

Review: Two Moons of Sera

Blog, , , , , ,

Two Moons of Sera
Two Moons of Sera by Pavarti K Tyler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mother told me: No, the Moon is made of nothing but broken dreams; its color is the blood she’s seen spilt.

Serafay is a child born of two world yet belonging to none. Raised in isolation by her mother, she thought she was content in her quiet life by the sea. Her mother, a Sualwet (water people) who was experimented on by the Erdlanders (land people), would go out and forage, bringing Sera back books and other trinkets as well as news about the war between the two races. Safe in her cove, Sera didn’t know she was missing anything.

Until she saw Tor.

As they become friends, Sera’s world is torn apart and she is forced to rely on the very people who tortured her mother for her survival.

Told in serial format, Two Moons of Sera drags you into a world similar yet unlike our own, filled with war, love and friendship. With a lush world and full characters, Tyler creates a stunning start to her serial.

Print Versions Are Available!

Blog, , , ,

I’m completely stealing this post from Splitter. This is EXCITING news!

I know a bunch of people want print copies and I cannot thank you enough for the support you have shown me.

The books are due to be released through Amazon on February 14th, but I just found out that I can make them available on CreateSpace (an Amazon company) NOW.

As a “Thank You” to the people who have given me that support, I am going to go ahead and offer them early through CreateSpace to my friends on Facebook and people that follow my blog and Twitter.

Plus, there is a discount code which can be used for both books on CreatSpace to receive $1.00 off each book:  VZ3KMHHA

Direct links:
The Reluctant
The Willing

The list prices on the books are $8.99 and $9.99 respectively.  Yes, they are less expensive than most trade paperbacks on the market and we did that on purpose.  We make the same on them (without the discount coupon) as we do on the $2.99 eBooks.

If you were waiting for a print copy, there you go.  Hope you enjoy!

Blog, Interviews, , , , ,

Today I have the pleasure of having Jim Galford, author of In Wilder Lands: The Fall of Eldvar here with me to do an interview, and he brought Feanne along with him!

For those of you who haven’t heard/read this wonderful book yet, In Wilder Lands is an epic fantasy novel that follows Estin, a wildling, as he endeavors to just be left alone, find shelter and food, and live to a nice old age. When he meets Feanne, she changes his whole outlook on life. For more, check out my review.

And now, because you don’t want to make her mad by forcing her to wait, here’s Feanne.
