INDIE SPOTLIGHT: “Lethal Inheritance” by Tahlia Newland NOW ON SALE

Posted on June 4, 2014 by

Hello all!

Tahlia Newland, champion for indie authors and talented author herself, has a YA fantasy book on sale. Check it out!

—

Yep, you did hear right; it’s $4 off.

Lethal Inheritance, book one of the Diamond Peak series, is only 99c on Amazon and Kobo from the 30^th of May to the 5^th of June. Usually the book is priced at $4.99, but this is the first in a series of four books, and for this one week, the author wants to make it easy for you to have a taste. This is a great 99c ebook deal, and an offer rarely repeated, so snap it up while it’s hot.

What makes this book different to all the other YA fantasy ?

The Diamond Peak series is more than just great fiction, it’s also an education on how to deal with negative emotions and difficult people. You’ll get a tiny taste of meditation and Buddhist philosophy and learn how to banish your demons in a very entertaining way.

What’s it about?

After an ordinary evening studying for her final exams, Ariel wakes to a scream and discovers that demons have kidnapped her mother and dragged her into a hidden realm. Ariel mounts a rescue mission, but to defeat the demons, who feed on fear and seek the enslavement of the human race, she must learn a secret esoteric wisdom to awaken the dormant but potentially explosive power of her mind.

Walnut, a quirky old wise man, guides her through treacherous inner and outer landscapes, and Nick, the powerful Warrior who travels with them, proves a dangerous attraction. Can Ariel defeat the sadistic demon lord before he kills her and enslaves her mother?

The stakes are high, death a real possibility. Fail now, and she fails humanity.

Is it any good?

Lethal Inheritance has received the AIA Seal of Excellence in Fiction and a BRAG Medallion for Outstanding Fiction.

“Lethal Inheritance rivals such young adult favorites as J.K. Rowling and Rick Riordian.”Tammy Dewhurst, Rabid Readers.

“Lethal Inheritance has it all – rich, detailed world building, insanely realistic characters, and a kick ass fantasy plot.” Book Briefs Reviews.

“A fun read, seamlessly layered with philosophical themes adding depth to the adventure, with engaging characters and evil antagonists, a bit of humour and romance and great action sequences.” Kevin Berry, author.

Where did you say I can get it?

Lupus Awareness Month & “Empower: Fight Like A Girl”

Posted on April 30, 2014 by

jennq — No Comments ↓

So as I mentioned a few weeks ago, I have a big announcement to share!

May is Lupus Awareness Month – and if you don’t know much about this disease, I hope you’ll take a minute to do some quick research. It’s called “the cruel mystery” for a good reason. As the Lupus Foundation of America states on their blog:

“Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body (skin, joints, and/or organs inside the body). Chronic means that the signs and symptoms tend to last longer than six weeks and often for many years.

In lupus, something goes wrong with your immune system, which is the part of the body that fights off viruses, bacteria, and germs… Normally our immune system produces proteins called antibodies that protect the body from these invaders. Autoimmune means your immune system cannot tell the difference between these foreign invaders and your body’s healthy tissues… and creates autoantibodies that attack and destroy healthy tissue. These autoantibodies cause inflammation, pain, and damage in various parts of the body.”

At the present time there is no cure for lupus – but research is ongoing. This is where you can help – even if you don’t have a PhD in medical research.

In an effort to help raise awareness – and funds – Pang-Ni Landrum and I have been putting together a book of short stories written for this cause by some very talented writers from the TV world:

(Seriously, am I right?!) All of these writers generously donated their time and talents in honor of Maurissa Tancharoen Whedon, a fabulously talented actress, singer, dancer, television producer/writer and lyricist… who also happens to suffer from lupus.

Grab a copy of the book, read some fun stories, and help a great cause. The best part? All proceeds from the sale of these books go directly to the Lupus Foundation of America.

Get your copy here, and thank you! Let’s make a boatload of cash in the fight against lupus!

Last Day To Vote for “Thrall”!

Posted on March 12, 2014 by

jennq — No Comments ↓

Hello all,

So today is the LAST DAY to vote for Thrall for the Reader’s Choice Award in the YA category over at Big Al’s Books & Pals.

Here are the instructions for how to vote from their website:

First, If you see a sign-in page below, you’ll have to either sign-on using your Facebook login or by giving a name and email address by clicking the appropriate button.

No, we won’t use your email address or any information gathered to start spamming you.

The Rafflecopter application picks winners for the giveaway randomly and provides us with the email address for the winners. Otherwise we’d have no way to reach the winners to award the prizes.

It also helps to limit a person voting more than once. (If it is discovered someone voted multiple times their votes and giveaway entries will will be invalidated.)

I hope this isn’t too complicated. Again, this is the last day to vote, so if you haven’t done so – but want to support Thrall – now’s the time!

Hope you’re having a lovely Wednesday so far, and a big thank you to all who’ve voted so far!

I {Heart} Book Bloggers

One of the most challenging things about being an indie – as much as I love it – is finding your audience. With all the amazing books out there, who wants to spend their precious reading time checking out an unknown author?

Some amazing book bloggers, that’s who!

But even bloggers who don’t have room on their jam-packed nightstands for one more volume often make time to support indie authors by hosting interviews, giveaways, or cover reveals. I want to take a minute to say thank you to the incredible community of book bloggers who’ve hosted cover reveals leading up to the Sacrifice (Daughters of Lilith: Book 3) release.

Thank you!
