  4. Congrats on your new book.

    My book is called Soulless Voodoo Guy. This is my debut book which I released last month. So far the reviews on Amazon UK and US have been very positive.

    Synopsis:
    Finding himself in an unrecognisable place, Soulless Voodoo Guy searches for answers, but when more questions materialise does he choose to follow his path or deviate from it? How does he know what his true path is? Why is everything so strange and what are the metal plates which appear to be everywhere? The Jelly Turtle only confuses him further and it’s nearly impossible to tell what Trip’s thinking. When he meets Zepheer he finally gets some answers, but can he trust her?

  5. Thank you, James for this opportunity. Instead of my latest release, I’m going to mention my best-selling book, TELL ME A SECRET. It is a new adult story and for readers 18+ due to steamy scenes. It is available in audio as well as ebook and print, but the ebook and print editions have recently been re-edited.

    Synopsis:
    Jace Sloan has it all. He’s smoking hot, a college football star with a storybook family, and he’s never met a woman he couldn’t charm. He’s also never met one who makes him want to be a better man…until he meets Maggie. Now, this self-proclaimed geek with wild red hair and the greenest eyes he’s ever seen has him thinking all kinds of crazy thoughts. Like settling down and being a one-woman man.

    Maggie Fielding is anything but Jace’s type. For starters, her IQ is bigger than her chest size. But Jace is panty melting hot, and she’s having a hard time remembering that he’s bad news. If only she could stop telling him her secrets, because her answers to his questions just might have both of them falling in love for the first time.

  6. I’m not pushing a specific book because I just want to say something about how the main character in my WIP resisted my attempts to get her to accept a new resolution to the story when my 3 beta readers agreed that my ending was a bit too ‘modern’ for a story set in 1841. The book is the sequel to The Figurehead. I wrote it because several readers wrote to ask me to write more about the central couple. They wanted to know how the relationships would develop. I was interested, too, so I went back to them, wrote of their continuing saga but, by the time I got to the end (it took me 4 years to write it), Helen had grown in stature and she took an awful lot of persuading by me to accept the compromise she was offered. It’s the first time a character has been so wilful, not only to the other characters in the book, nut to me in real life. The book will be called The Likeness and it’ll appear later in the year. Meantime, Helen is fully formed and you can meet her in The Figurehead.

  7. Very kind of you to invite us. Best wishes for success with your book.
    I am a brand new author, having published my first book a few days ago. It is an epic fantasy book with some unusual characters, kinds of magic and plot twists. The second book in the series should be in Amazon in a few days.
    If you feel like taking a look:

    Compliments for your great site.
    Have fun

  8. Thanks for this opportunity. It couldn’t have been better times as my latest book will be published in a few days too!
    Liberty is the first full-length novel in the Two Democracies: Revolution series and is available for the special pre-order price of $2.99 until 31 July 2016. It already has three 5-star reviews.

    Struggling with newfound sentience and desperately trying to repair itself, The Indescribable Joy
    of Destruction
    is a ship trying to find a new home. In a galaxy torn apart by generations of civil
    war, that isn’t an easy task. Tired of being used as a killing machine, it has a huge decision to
    make: hide and save itself, or help other artificial intelligences achieve freedom. Unable to make
    the decision alone, it revives the sole human aboard – the enemy officer who crippled it.
    Commander Olivia Johnson wakes to find herself in the infirmary of a strange vessel. Her
    nightmares deepen when she discovers it is the ship that attacked her destroyer. Even as she
    recovers from her physical injuries, she can’t get past her survivor’s guilt. She might have failed
    to protect her crew, but she vows to take revenge on their killer.
    When the ship uncovers a genocidal plot by the commander’s own admirals, Johnson realises just
    what is at stake. Together, the AI ship and the human officer must recruit outsiders from both
    sides. Training the misfits in battle to prevent the atrocity may be an impossible task, but running
    and hiding is no longer an option.

  9. Thanks for the opportunity to show off my latest release in my medieval/time travel series: To Follow My Heart.: The Knights of Berwyck, A Quest Through Time Novel (Book Three)

    Love is a leap. Sometimes you need to jump…

    After a gut wrenching break up with her fiancé, Jenna Sinclair heads to the coast to do a little soul searching. To say everything is subject to change is putting it mildly. Her world is not only turned upside down, but pretty much torn asunder when she is pulled through a time gate on the beach beneath the Cliff House and transported more than eight hundred years into the past.

    Fletcher Monroe, captain of the garrison knights at Berwyck Castle, has wasted too much time pining for a woman who will never be his. When he finally decides to move on with his life and focus on his duties, he is suddenly confronted with a woman who magically appears at his feet. This could either be the best thing that has ever happened to him or another cursed event in a string of many. He soon finds he is wildly attracted to her, but she’s scared to death of him ─ not a very encouraging beginning.

    From the shores of California to twelfth century England and back again, Jenna and Fletcher must find a way to reconcile their two different worlds before Time forever tears them apart.

  10. I smiled at Bill’s comment about his character insisting on having her own way. My sleuth Zukie Merlino first appeared in ‘Halfbaked,’ a short story from my first mystery series (R&P Labs Mysteries), and then insisted on being featured in her own full-length mystery novels. ‘Zukie’s Promise’ is the seventh in the series, which I’d describe as semi-cozy.

    Zukie’s daughter is getting married and Zukie has been informed her role at the wedding is to show up, shut up and keep smiling. That’s hard enough for her, but then a body turns up at the wedding rehearsal. The wedding’s in two days, the bride and groom are suspected of murder and everyone seems to be hiding a secret. But Zukie has promised her daughter that nothing will ruin her wedding, and Zukie always keeps her promises.
