Forget the TV, give me a good book and a cup of coffee and I'm a very happy camper. Urban Fantasy and Paranormal YA are my genres of choice. I also cannot resist a good dystopian as there is something so enthralling about them. I live and breathe books and nothing makes me happier then sharing that love with others. Books aside, I believe coffee and wine are food groups. I'm also mom to two sports obsessed teens and married to an amazing husband. They only drive me crazy on days that end in Y, but I love them to pieces. Find me on Twitter: @KT_Clapsadl

Try Chiliad by Simon Otius, on unhappened [dot] com. Not for everybody, in fact almost for nobody.

Dear Katie & Kristen,

I was hoping to interest you in an eCopy of my latest novel, YOUNG BLOOD: The Nightbreed.

It is the first in a series. It was co-authored by my son, also named Phillip Tomasso (IV).

I am an Award-winning, Amazon Best-selling novelist, and this is my 17th book, and I have never been more excited about a release!

Back Cover Synopsis:

There is no escaping war when ancient evil haunts the present . . .

Madison Young and her friends go to a parking lot carnival. That same night she is found with her throat mangled. When she wakes up in the hospital, she has no memory of any attack. The cravings start immediately. They confuse and frighten her, but she cannot deny them.

As she starts remembering fragments from that night, she realizes more than just her life had been in danger–an unspeakable evil has tethered children to the inside of a trailer. Learning secret truths about her past, Madison is determined to track down the traveling carnival. Time is of the essence and sacrifices will have to made if she wants to save the stolen children.

Her new found strength and abilities make her a perfect fit for a nightbreed of deadly and unlikely heroes. If she joins The Nightbreed will she find answers to her mounting questions? More importantly, will she find purpose for the creature she’s become?

YOUNG BLOOD: The Nightbreed Saga
Authors: Phillip & Phillip Tomasso
Publisher: Severed Press
Release: eBook 2/23/2015 / Paperback forthcoming
Universal Amazon Link: http://mybook.to/YB

Please let me know if you are interested in an eCopy (pdf, mobi, Word). Thank you for your time and consideration.

I write primarily short stories that I have a professional format service convert to .mobi and ..epub files. My genre is science fiction. Currently, I have four books on Amazon. I'd love to have reviews by you. Giant Dreams and Dragons: A tale of a disrespected professor who dreams of a project that makes him superior to all his peers. A success can sometimes be a failure. But what happens when the success is spectacular? Perhaps you could call it a killer. Ares; Anger: It was a routine mission outside the confines of the bio-habitat housing the first human colony on Mars. At least it was supposed to be routine. Which is why Dexter Arnold was outside alone despite policy which dictated a mandatory out-time partner. Routine departed when he wrecked his rover buggy. That was the least of his problems as the worse was yet to come. As a matter of fact, the worse was straight at Dexter. The Legend of the Bogeyman: Oh, you know about the Bogeyman. That old mythical character used to frighten wayward children. What if there's something you already know? That the Bogeyman isn't really a man. What if there's something you might not know? Like Ole Bogey is real and has cosmic aspirations and is interested in a whole lot more than just saying 'Boo!' The PlanetDeath Chronicles: Power and profit minded people long denied the reality of climate change and ignore results of environmental proof. Citizens of governments that were the worst polluters didn't take action to stop the carnage. By the time they did it was literally too late. These stories are the chronicles of how the planetdeath of the once sapphire gem of the solar system unfolded.

Katie and Kristen,

My name is Brandon Hill. I am a sci-fi/fantasy author, both self-published and published through publishers. I have published 5 books, and I have been looking for a professional review for my newest book, Double-Cross My Heart, which is the first story in a dark urban fantasy series that I have entitled, "The War of Millennium Night."

This series features stories and adventures during a ten millennia long war between two clans of vampires: one that lives in peaceful symbiosis with humans, and the other seeks to dominate humanity. Double-Cross My Heart is the first full-length novel in this series, following the prelude novella, From Slate to Crimson (though it is not necessary to have read the previous story to fully understand the latter). It tells the tale of a special mission given to the adopted daughter of the father of the peaceful vampires. The plot is as follows:

Turned at a tender age, and left with no memory of her human life, Elisa, the beloved adopted daughter of Talante, has had many obvious difficulties in her near two centuries of life, but none so frustrating as her inability to find love - that is until a dire mission leads her to Derek, another vampire turned in his formative years, and the de facto leader of a clan of vagabonds: vampires who choose to take no sides in the war. But her happiness is only a prelude to heartbreak as she learns secrets of a past she thought erased, which may cost her the trust and love of the one who holds the greatest portion of her heart.

It is my hope that you will find this book of interest and will write a review of it. It can be found at the Amazon address provided. I can provide a paperback copy of the book, or a free .mobi or .pdf file immediately if you choose to do a review of this story. I can be reached at khyron20@gmail.com. Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Brandon Hill

Hello, Katie! We invite you to consider reviewing Maverick’s Endeavors: Journey to the Alumia, Book One, for your blog. It's a Young Adult/Epic Fantasy, which seems to be right up your alley. My co-writer and I have been working on this novel for nearly a decade and are counting down the days until we self-publish. We are busy moms with a passion for Maverick and his fantasy world. Our story is adventurous, comical, has forbidden romance, and has an air of mystery. We are fans of cliff hangers that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Most importantly, this tale highlights critical moral concepts, such as coexistence and the acceptance of others. While this is a young adult novel, it truly can be enjoyed by all ages.

Here is our synopsis:

Maverick is sixteen and is not yet a warrior like most Bubbalyons his age. He has never ventured outside the waters of Merrowa, until the day his father sends him on a dangerous quest.

He must travel into the enemy territory of Deep Haven Woods to retrieve medicinal leaves from the sacred Alumia tree and save the life of his sickly grandfather. Maverick’s mission is brought to a sudden halt when a war ensues between the two tribes. He is soon captured by the tyrannical, Feroarian King Treant who demands that he embarks on a perilous journey to the Forbidden Mountains.

Maverick, his father Dran, and three of Treant’s reluctant soldiers are forced to travel as their unwilling companions. Will the five adventurers manage to overcome their profound differences and live to tell the tale?

Thank you for your interest!
