success is seductive - Escape Velocity by Susan Wolfe

"What a great read! Georgia Griffin is a delight, combating challenge after challenge with keen perceptive abilities and “special” talents. A hilarious book , it also has real heart and is grounded in values that can feel out of place in Silicon Valley. This book will be entertaining for all, but for those in Silicon Valley it will be especially satisfying." - Carol, Goodreads

Adventure and romance - Sky Raiders (Sky Raiders #1) by Michelle Diener

I think it was inevitable that my years of writing historicals would find a way to touch my science fiction work, and I had a lot of fun, and gave a lot of thought, to the use to which I put my historical background. I think fictional cultures with some basis in real culture, however much of a mix they are, make for a more believable, more interesting world, and I hope my readers think so, too. - author

"will keep you guessing" - Better Off Thread (An Embroidery Mystery #10) by Amanda Lee

romance, adventure and quirky humor - Seasons Within by Lele Iturrioz

The Five Fables of Terra:
Nature has its own will

Balance is Nature’s true freedom.

Review - Rogue One, A Star Wars Story

REVIEW

If you are an aficionado Star Wars, or one like me which grew up with the ‘70- ‘80 series and now I saw it just for the old times sake, or just movie lovers, for all of you, I recommend you to go and see the last Star Wars film - Rogue One, A Star Wars Story.

Yes, I already made the recommendation without even to give you any reason to do so, but believe me: if it isn’t the best movie of the Star Wars universe, then, at least, it’s the second. I consider that the Episode V, The Empire Strikes Back, it’s the best of the series, and Rogue One holds the second position among all the episodes and, as a spin-off, it definitely gain the Episode 3.5 status. One could say that this is the sequel which everybody wanted to be the Episode VII.

Why?

the future looks grim - The Forsaken Crown ( A Desolate Empire Prequel) by Christina Ochs

"The book was packed with deception and espionage, the running themes of the books, though there were a few heaps of action and even some romance added in. I was very pleased with this newest instalment and can only hope for more!" - Amy, Goodreads

What’s next? - Ethical Strains: A Short Story by Teresa Edmond-Sargeant

The soft shuffle of footsteps made Jacob look up. Across the street, a woman broke through the screen of darkness and crossed the street. Her low heels tapped on asphalt, while the faint moonlight unveiled her petite hourglass frame cloaked in a trench coat. A purple floral scarf covered her head, face and neck; only her eyes revealed a personal aspect. 

"a wonderful murder mystery" - Catch Me If You Can by Miss Mae

"a wonderful murder mystery" - Lynn, Goodreads
The howling wind of a hurricane. The creak of footsteps on the stairs. The wailing of a dog in the dark of night.
"Catch Me If You Can", the thrilling romantic mystery by award-winning author Miss Mae, is now available in an enhanced audiobook at PulpRadio.net.

Book Tour Grand Finale for Catch a Fallen Star by Amy Vastine

Sometimes hitting bottom can help you find what the important things in life are. Boone just hopes that Ruby will agree.
"Funny and sweet and romantic, Catch a Fallen Star is more than just a story of two people falling in love. It’s also about family and addiction and recovery and restoration. Toss in a sassy teenager with lots of wisdom in spite of her occasional stupidity and this book becomes a new favorite." - Reading Is My SuperPower - Review

Love is a mere fantasy - Under Ground (Under Ground #1) by Alice Rachel

"This book was so good that I wanted to read it quickly, I wanted to know what'll happen next, but then this book was also so sooooo good that I read it very slowly because the world building, the pacing was impeccably done and I didnt want UG to end." - Tuba S, Goodreads

I only fear one thing - Silverwitch (Olive Kennedy, Fairy World M.D. #4) by Tamara Grantham

GOBLINWRAITH - I only fear one thing. 
Being tortured, starved, beaten, burned, and left for dead should have broken me. Instead, I became stronger. I no longer fear those things. Not anymore.
I only fear one thing.

Whatever is written in their stars... Sky Raiders (Sky Raiders #1) by Michelle Diener

"I can save you some time if you read and loved Dark Horse you are going to love this one as well, it has some very basic similarities as far as being what is called a "space opera" (I have no clue why) it is a science fiction adventure that is based around a romance (or maybe it is the other way around)."- Douglas Meeks, Goodreads

What do you hope readers take with them after they’ve read it?

Elves are dying... The Elf by Max Dune

"This book is just epic. There is no other word I can think of that would be better describing it. From the first chapter, to the very last page, it is an adventure. The characters are dynamic. The action sequences kept me on edge. It holds gentle moments as well." - Hadassah, Goodreads

Eve the First: A Fairy Tale Revision by Teresa Edmond-Sargeant

"Eve ruled the land of Regnum with the utmost passion of all kinds: love, fear, cruelty, and intensity, but mostly the last three. Every day she studied maps of foreign kingdoms, plotted her next conquest, and trained her soldiers until their feet bled and their sanity broke. Wherever she went, her subjects genuflected and lowered their heads, averting eye contact."
