Release Day Blitz: The Aqua Secret by L.L Hunter

Title: The Aqua Secret

Series: The Aqua Saga
Genre: YA Dystopian/ sci fi
Release Date: March 31st 2014

Blitz Host: Lady Amber's Tours
Blurb
The year is 2042 and the world has been consumed by water.

Those who survived the great floods of 2012 clung to the debris of the Old World from which they rebuilt their lives.
Pym Maddox thought life was good living on the floating city called Aqua. Harboring secret feelings for her best friend, the smoldering Rush Rodgers, was the least of her problems. Rush is the son of her father’s second in command, a boy whom her father approved of –  or so she thought. After her people are moved onto her father’s navy vessel, a motion which is only the start of the torrent of secrets that begin to unravel. Pym’s search for answers lead her and Rush to a secret underwater lab that just might hold the answers to everything.
Pym soon discovers that the world she grew up in is not what it seems, and her father may hold the key to unlocking the biggest secret of all – the reason Pym and Rush have a mysterious connection to the water.
 Secrets and water have one thing in common: they get distorted on the surface.

Release Day Review: Spelled (Casted #2) by Sonya Loveday

Today it's Release day for the much anticipated sequel to Casted by Sonya Loveday. Casted was an amazing read, and I know you will all enjoy Spelled as well. Make sure to drop by Sonya and wish her a Happy Release Day, or even better - go by her FB Party TODAY. Have fun, and make sure to send her a hug from me!


Spelled is the sequel to Casted (and you all know how much I LOVE Casted!!) I am indeed a VERY lucky girl in so many ways, one of them being a beta reader for Sonya – which means I got to read this very, very, VERY early!!! *evil grin*

I was nervous about reading Spelled, because when Casted was that good – how could she make a sequel that would live up to the emotional wreck from the first one? Never fear my friends. Although Spelled isn’t the same emotional rollercoaster as Casted, it is absolutely PACKED with secrets, revelations, mayhem, magic and mystery.

Author Take Over: Post #2 Character Interview & Giveaway: Meet Seth & Travis



*The giveaway is AAAALLL the way down in the end. Enjoy the introduction to Seth & Travis, I know I certainly did!!!*

Interview with Seth and Travis from Parting Burden

In the spirit of wanting to discuss my characters more than myself, I thought I'd interview a pair of them from a book I'm working on. Parting Burden is a novel in the Secret Connection Collection. That is, it's a stand-alone novel, connected to several of my other books, (published and in-the-works), by the characters. Confused yet? Well, the books in the collection span various genres. I've written them so that readers who are genre-specific can read them separately. However, those who enjoy a series, regardless of genre, can read all of the books as connected works. (Yes, I like to do things the hard way.)

Author Take Over post #1: Welcome Sinead MacDughlas!!


Today it's Wednesday, and as you know it means Author Take Over here at my home away from home :-) Please welcome the absolutely lovely and awesome Sinead MacDughlas!!

I am going to shut up now, and let Sin take the word. Enjoy, and remember to enter the giveaway!!

Warrior Goddess by Rebecca Poole

A beautiful picture to start of this anthology. Fierce. I like it, Rebecca did a marvelous job.

 


Down Came the Queen of Heaven by Aubrey Diamant

This is the story of how the Goddess Nicasia came to be Queen of Heaven. A lovely story, that contains everything your heart desires; love, hate, fight and responsibility. I like the way Aubrey has chosen to tell the story. In the beginning and end it’s a prophetess that share the ancient story. It made it even more believable to me. VERY nice touch!!

Release Day & Giveaway: Flawed Perfection by Cassandra Giovanni


Release Button
Flawed Perfection Cover
Bobby Beckerson was the American All-Star hockey player--he was the spitting image of perfection to his family. Goofy, sweet and undeniably gorgeous, he had everything but the one girl he wanted: River Ahlers.
River Ahlers is successful in everything but love. She's been in love with Adam Beckerson since they were kids. Worst of all she's stuck right in the middle of the brother's dueling over everything and anything, and she doesn't even know she's the ultimate prize.
Adam Beckerson was a boy with a guitar, a smile that sunk girl's hearts and a stone wall around his own. He was anything but perfect, and no matter how hard he tried he was nothing compared to Bobby. Sweet, damaged, with boyish good-looks, nobody thought Adam loved anyone but himself.
