Janir had the misfortune of being born with one of the hated Argetallams for a father. But unlike other Argetallam children, she was mostly granted a normal childhood, away from the rest of her family. It looked as if she would live a relatively normal life as the foster-daughter of a powerful lord. Until one critical day Janir’s powers awakened and she became entangled in a young enchanter’s quest for a long-lost treasure called the Key of Amatahns…

After her adventures with the Key of Amatahns, sixteen-year-old Janir Caersynn Argetallam returns home to find Brevia on the brink of war with a neighboring country, Stlaven. Her foster-father and even Saoven—a brave young elf warrior—think it will be safe at the castle where Janir grew up. However, while trying to unravel a looming mystery, Karile—self-taught wizard and Janir’s self-appointed best friend—becomes certain that there is danger in the mountains surrounding Janir’s childhood home and that it has something to do with Stlaven’s most powerful family, the Vanmars…

Intro by Gretchen Powell:

In Terra‘s world, resources are scarce and many people make their living as “scavs,” hunting for scraps to turn in on Collection Day in exchange for credits. For this tour, YOU are a scav, and there are scraps all over the blogosphere for you to find! On each participating blog, there will be one of 9 possible questions. Answer the question to receive a keyword that will get you an extra entry in the awesome giveaway!


We Launched our Tour on April 1st!!  No foolin’!

A Tiffyfit’s Reading Corner – Review:

The characters were well-developed and the lead protagonist, Terra, was not whiny, angsty, or annoying.

Pause Time – Review:

I loved Adam from the first moment

Total Book Geek – Excerpt

Mel’s Shelves – Review

the book is full of twists and turns I didn’t see coming–a big plus for me!

I Am a Reader, Not a Writer – Excerpt

Lovin’ Los Libros – Review

If you are a fan of Hunger Games, Divergent, or even The Maze Runner series, I think you will really enjoy Terra.

fuonlyknew – Excerpt

The Quiet Concert – Review

Terra had to be my favorite character. She is a strong, stubborn, protective girl who will do what it takes to protect her family and find answers.

Jessie’s Book Place – Excerpt

The Reading DiariesExcerpt 

 & 5 Star Review:

WOW!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE TERRA!!!!!Such a fantastic story I finished in one afternoon unable to put it down. Terra is a brilliant mix between Dystopia and Sci fi in my opinion the story just flows beautifully.

Christy’s Cozy Corner – Review:

 Nothing in the book felt unnecessary. No unnecessary conversations or characters.

LDS & Lovin’ It – Review

And while the world she creates is a made up one, I saw distinct parallels to our own world and the heartbreaking poverty that exists here as well as the developing environmental problems that clearly led to the devastation of Terra’s world.

Tressa’s Wishful Endings – Review

I also really liked Adam! He’s got bright blue eyes, a lopsided-smile, is intelligent and caring. Though he has his imperfections too. You know that he is keeping something from Terra, but I didn’t realize what it was until Terra finds out herself.

Colorimetry – Excerpt

Living a Goddess Life – Lemon Berry Preserves Recipe:

& Review:

It’s very rare, in my experience, to find an indie book that is as good as anything that’s gone through a corporate editing process. In fact, it may very well be the Holy Grail of small press books. And yet, on her first lap out of the gate, Gretchen Powell has birthed a fantastic book, self-published. So….consider me a fan!

Passion and Life – Excerpt

[googleapps domain=”docs” dir=”forms/d/1I6XUTdJl3ntXiWLblJsn-pty6aT8d23WJnshNz9kKL8/viewform” query=”embedded=true” width=”500″ height=”250″ /]
Bookworm Lisa –  Review

The ending left me looking frantically for when the second book is to be released.

Blood, Sweat & Books – Review

Terra was a solid science fiction/Dystopian with detailed world building, plenty of action and enjoyable secondary characters.

Marked by Books – Excerpt

[googleapps domain=”docs” dir=”forms/d/1f7hFES2epkmv0ok0skVVjITqmfrPRRxXO_FgH1_u9S4/viewform” query=”embedded=true” width=”500″ height=”250″ /]

My Seryniti – Review

 The writing is so good that you are transported to this other world and when something happens I constantly found myself gasping aloud, knowing that the crap was going to hit the fan, but not know why!

Mortality Bites – Excerpt

[googleapps domain=”docs” dir=”forms/d/116ZKleFC51OP5cAPCpTBlTisq3Xox0WLQfANHzXzDDI/viewform” query=”embedded=true” width=”500″ height=”250″ /]

Getting Your Read On – Review

The Broke Book Bank – Intervew!!

I guess you can kind of think of them kind of like the reorganized continents of today. When the world fell apart and the Tribunal took over, things changed.

Got Ghosts? 2 - More Stories of Real Paranormal Activity

goodreads-badge-add-plus

What if you woke up and saw a ghost watching you as you sleep? Saw things lift up and fly across the room? Heard Footsteps when you know you’re home alone? How would you react? Who Would You Call? Got Ghosts? 2 is the follow up to the hugely successful Got Ghosts? book by Author & Lead Investigator – Steven Wolff.

While they’re not the fictional Ghost Busters as seen on the big screen, there is a real life group of scientists and researchers who not only document and study paranormal activity, they also help give people peace of mind and they are called The Ghost Education & Research Center.

(GERC – A Not-for-profit Paranormal Research Organization – founded in 2001 by Steven Wolff & dedicated to helping both the living and the dead) has been contacted countless times to investigate claims of paranormal activity from the simplest of sightings to full blown things flying everywhere.

Events in these emails are described as terrifying, unnerving, nightmarish and haunting are shared for the first time all here in a compilation of emails from people who are experiencing true & real paranormal activity.

Not for the faint of heart, read each story and imagine what you would do if YOU were in their situation. Imagine it’s you living in the same house with the activity described in these letters like hearing footsteps, being touched, having your baby picked up and moved and so much more… Except for these people, it’s a reality.

Included in this book after each email is commentary from Steven himself, sharing his knowledge and experience from each of these cases. If you’re an inspiring ghost hunter or just someone interested in the paranormal, not only will this book enlighten you but with an open mind, it will also educate you on information that has been gathered for over ten years from countless investigations.

Ask yourself… What would you do if you… got ghosts. 🙂

Abraham Road: A Novella

goodreads-badge-add-plus

Family is a curse …

Alec Leary always knew his father was a monster–he just never knew about the tentacles.

At a remote slate quarry, Alec watches in horror as his father sprouts black limbs from a strange wound in his chest. Without warning or explanation, his father whips and lacerates his brother. The two boys flee, only to find themselves lost in the remote wilderness of western Maine with no way home. Stumbling into the care of strangers, they begin their dark journey home, where the fate awaiting them could be worse than anything they imagined.

Thrilling and heartbreaking, this supernatural thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat until its final, shocking pages

BEDBUGS (Can you see them?)

SYNOPSIS OF ‘BEDBUGS – CAN YOU SEE THEM?’

‘NIGHT, NIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT AND DON’T LET THE BEDBUGS BITE’
In 1977, an alien spaceship crashed down to earth, landing deep within the soil in a small County called ‘Lemonsville’. During the night people were slaughtered, but the next day the killers disappeared.
In 2020, the area where the spaceship landed was levelled off and new houses were built over it. Many foreigners were now living in the UK, and so more houses needed building.
A small earthquake shook Lemonsville in the year 2050. This was the opening needed for the new creatures of the night to attack the living. Deep, deep down beneath the ground, the alien queen had given birth to a new killer. The earth tremor had produced an escape route for her new babies to hunt for food. Human food…

#5

What Lies Beneath

goodreads-badge-add-plus

When Blair Lewis is left for dead in a freezing lake, she can’t get over the fact that her boyfriend tried to kill her. And when she begins to receive disturbing gifts and letters from her supposed dead boyfriend, she attempts to figure out what is going on before the darkness consumes her. Nothing is as it seems and the startling truth is going to rip Blair right out of this world. Is Blair simply losing her mind? Or is something vicious and dark after her sanity and soul?

So, tell me, which one should I review next Friday?
