Image may contain: phone and text

We'll pick four books from the post to promote on our blog.
Enjoy this week's selection:
Heroic fantasy
Valdar is a city of swordslingers and necromancers, witch cults and halfhuman races. It's a city in a world of darkness, black magic and creatures of the night . . . a city where demonic entities serve the needs of any witch or magicman who can open a doorway into their domain.
This is my city. This is my world.
With a special dowsing rod, I can detect the ectoplasmic residue of any supernatural presence or demonic entity and sense the vestiges of odylic power and vile sorcery used in the commission of crimes. I hunt anyone and anything that poses a threat to the people of my city. My name's Dorgo. Folks call me the Dowser.
Non-fiction
Have you ever wondered why it seems authors are often whining about book reviews? What's the big deal anyway? How much of a difference could your one book review really make? In this opinion piece, ten-time self-published author and blogger, Toi Thomas, discusses candidly why book reviewing culture isn't what it should be. 
This is not a book about how to write book reviews and it is not a how-to book for authors to gain book reviews. This is a book about reevaluating your thought-process and opinions about book reviewing culture. 
Toi Thomas clearly understands that "Ain't nobody got time for book reviews" when there are so many more important things for a book lover to do. Right? Plus, you can read this book from cover to cover in less than two hours.100% of proceeds go to support Lit Carnivale, a book fair in the making.
Mystery/crime
Ethan is a liar. He can’t help it, he doesn’t even realize he’s doing it, but he lies to everyone he meets, and he doesn’t know how to stop. 
Cut off from those around him, Ethan finds himself at the door of Dr. Wright, agreeing to a radical treatment. Ethan will leave his home of Boston behind to tour the world, and, given a plane ticket and a course of experimental medication, change his life forever.
But when, mid-treatment and a thousand miles from home, Ethan is accused of murder, how can he, or the embassy, or even his closest friends defend him? After all, Ethan can’t remember where he was the night the murder happened – all he knows for sure is he was with the woman just before she died.
With his freedom and sanity at stake, the truth seems to be further from Ethan’s grasp than ever. But then, if he wants to keep his freedom, perhaps lies are all he can depend on. 
Adult humor
Jim grew up in a house that has a lot of love, love of family, love of cars, love of technology. Now in his thirties, he wants to find the same love and passion he witnessed with his parents. His desperation to find that love has taken him down roads best left untraveled. Then he meets her, the woman he believes he can have that perfect relationship with. Their first date, takes off faster than his car, can he really keep up?

High Speed Hearts contains graphic language and descriptive content. Suggested for readers over 18.

Putting the Spotlight On: The Atlantis Grail



With the plethora of young adult dystopian books available today, one might think there's nothing new under the sun. Well, they'd be wrong!

Vera Nazarian
Two-time Nebula Award finalist and 2018 Dragon Award nominee Vera Nazarian has not only busted through the YA barrier, her wildly creative science fiction series, The Atlantis Grail, is still gaining traction in the genre. In fact, the series has been optioned for film!

The story begins with the discovery of a world-killing asteroid and the first contact with the Atlantians, who had migrated to a new world long before modern civilization began. But here, let's share the book description of the first of the series, Qualify:

You have two options. You die, or you Qualify.

The year is 2047. An extinction-level asteroid is hurtling toward Earth, and the descendants of ancient Atlantis have returned from the stars in their silver ships to offer humanity help.

But there's a catch.

They can only take a tiny percent of the Earth’s population back to the colony planet Atlantis. And in order to be chosen, you must be a teen, you must be bright, talented, and athletic, and you must Qualify.

Sixteen-year-old Gwenevere Lark is determined not only to Qualify but to rescue her entire family.
Because there's a loophole.

If you are good enough to Qualify, you are eligible to compete in the brutal games of the Atlantis Grail, which grants all winners the laurels, high tech luxuries, and full privileges of Atlantis Citizenship. And if you are in the Top Ten, then all your wildest wishes are granted… Such as curing your mother’s cancer.

There is only one problem.

Gwen Lark is known as a klutz and a nerd. While she's a hotshot in classics, history, science, and languages, the closest she's come to sports is a backyard pool and a skateboard.

This time she is in over her head, and in for a fight of her life, against impossible odds and world-class competition—including Logan Sangre, the most amazing guy in her school, the one she's been crushing on, and who doesn’t seem to know she exists.

Because every other teen on Earth has the same idea.

You Qualify or you die.

With the first three books in the series already published, the grand finale, Survive is well on its way to completion. Vera's 60,000+ followers on wattpad.com are eagerly devouring draft chapters of Survive as she writes the final book of the series.

While waiting for the last book of The Atlantis Grail series, readers can also enjoy her Cobweb Bride trilogy. Like The Atlantis Grail, the first book is permanently free on Kindle. Vera's lush writing style suits the Renaissance-era fantasy as Death seeks the promised bride.

In addition to these books, Vera has a number of highly recommended science fiction and fantasy novels and novellas available. Stop by her Amazon author page and check out this amazing author's books!
