COGLING Cover Reveal and Giveaway!

A Steampunk Fairy Tale for Young Adults who love a little Romance in their Adventures

When fifteen-year-old Edna Mather tears an expensive and unfamiliar pocket watch off her little brother's neck, he crumbles into a pile of cogs right before her eyes. Horrified, Edna flees for help, but encounters Ike, a thief who attempts to steal the watch before he realizes what it is: a device to power Coglings—clockwork changelings left in place of stolen children who have been forced to work in factories.

Desperate to rescue her brother, Edna sets off across the kingdom to the hags' swamp, with Ike in tow. There, they learn Coglings are also replacing nobility so the hags can stage a rebellion and rule over humanity. Edna and Ike must stop the revolt, but the populace believes hags are helpful godmothers and healers. No one wants to believe a lowly servant and a thief, especially when Ike has secrets that label them both as traitors. 

Together, Edna and Ike must make the kingdom trust them or stop the hags themselves, even if Ike is forced to embrace his dark heritage and Edna must surrender her family.

COGLING has already gained advanced praise from NY Times Bestselling author Maria V. Snyder!

“This is a fun YA Steampunk novel. It's very different than many other Steampunk stories I've read. Basic plot is Edna's brother is kidnapped by hags and replaced with a "cogling" and she's on a mission to find and rescue her brother. The world is a Victorian-era with a strict class system for the humans and for those with magic. The woman with magic are called hags and the men with magic are orges and they're not nice and are planning to change the system. I really enjoyed learning about the world and the characters are well drawn and engaging.”

Parables of Virginia Bean

Conquering your Goliaths: A Parable of the Five Stones

David gathered 5 smooth stones to meet and defeat Goliath. What did these stones represent and how can you use them to conquer your Goliaths in your own personal quests? Ms. Virginia Bean will show you how.

Travel with her on her own personal journey. See what she does. Learn how she grows. Discover what she becomes.

"Conquering your Goliaths - A Parable of the Five Stones" is for anyone desiring to travel beyond mediocrity, pain and fear. Learn of the great power within you, a power given to you from God, a power that must ultimately be unleashed to conquer the Goliaths in your own life. Come to an even deeper understanding of God and what he wants for you. Come . . .

The Feast: A Parable of the Ring

Virginia had experienced the power and direction of the five stones; now, she would need to use them again. 

For entirely different reasons. 

Keeping her marriage together was not the only thing on her mind. Having a child wasn't going to happen in the usual way, and Virginia was determined that adoption was the answer. If she did all of the right things, said all of the right words; if she remembered the five stones in her journey to get her child, God would surely have to answer her. 

It wouldn't be too difficult.

The Gift: A Parable of the Key

After the death of their only child, it was time for Virginia and Richard to truly act on the power held within the five stones.

But their healing was taking a long time, and, quite frankly, proving to be an empty vessel needing to be filled.

Would they ever have a child of their own?

Would the old key help in their search for the truth? Joy was in their lives once again, a homeless teen with an alcoholic mother, still managing the journey to Just Desserts for another pink cupcake.

Was Joy the answer? And if so, what was the truth locked within her heart?

e-ARC Give away: Escape from Witchwood Hollow by Jordan Elizabeth

How far into the hollow would you go?

“After losing her parents in a terrorist attack on the Twin Towers, fifteen-year-old Honoria escapes New York City to Arnn—a farming town with more legends than residents, and a history of witchcraft and secrets best left buried.

Everyone in Arnn knows the story of Witchwood Hollow: if you venture into the whispering forest, the witch will trap your soul among the shadowed trees. In the lure of that perpetual darkness, Honoria finds hope when she should be afraid, and a past of missing children and broken promises.  To save the citizens of Arnn from becoming the witch’s next victims, she must find the truth behind the woman’s madness. How deep into Witchwood Hollow does Honoria dare venture?”

ESCAPE FROM WITCHWOOD HOLLOW is Jordan Elizabeth’s first novel.  This young adult fantasy will be published through Curiosity Quills Press on October 29, 2014.

Jordan Elizabeth, formally Jordan Elizabeth Mierek, can’t get enough of the woods, be it splashing through a stream, sitting beneath an ancient oak, or following a path up a hill.  Some of those adventures have led to abandoned foundations.  Exploring the rocks and crumbling bricks sparked Jordan to imagine who might have lived there before, and that train of thought carried her to a wicked legend and an enchanted hollow.  You can contact Jordan via her website, JordanElizabethMierek.com.

You don’t have to wait for October 29th to explore Witchwood Hollow.  Jordan Elizabeth is offering up a free eArc.  To enter for your chance to win a copy of ESCAPE FROM WITCHWOOD HOLLOW, you will need to share the cover.  This can be on your blog, Facebook, Twitter… Each time you share the cover image, log it into Rafflecoper to record it.  It will give you more chances to win.  The drawing for the winner will be held on October 20th.

Paperback Book Giveaway: Chupacabra Series (Books 1-3) by Michael Hebler

NIGHT OF THE CHUPACABRA 

BOOK #1 (book review 5- star)

Post Civil War. Families move west to begin rich new lives, only some never make it. There is a creature that lurks in the vast open deserts of the west. It can only survive on blood and, although it prefers to prey on the weak and young, it will slaughter anyone or anything, once provoked. It is unnatural, deceptive, and difficult to kill. Word about the existence of this elusive beast has not spread since anyone who has crossed paths with it did not live long enough to tell of their account. 

Night of the Chupacabra is one man’s journey to reunite with his missing family, while the lethal creature that separated them, the mysterious and ravenous chupacabra, is never far behind. Night of the Chupacabra is not only a gruesome regale of carnage, but a unique combination of science fiction bloodshed with a more poignant tale of lost love set against a Western backdrop. Night of the Chupacabra is an unflinching look at the impossible choices made for family, while knowing the consequences will ultimately lead to a fate worse than death.

CURSE OF THE CHUPACABRA 

BOOK #2 (book review 5- star)

They never thought their luck would be their curse. In the months following the onslaught, the extraordinary survivors continue to know no peace, as they are haunted by signs that the relentless creature remains on their trail. However, this fight will be better matched, now that they’ve discovered an advantage that will help protect them from the monster’s bloodthirsty lust. But once faced with the decision to kill the beast, the choice will not come lightly since it is still unclear which loved one the chupacabra possesses.

LEGEND OF THE CHUPACABRA 

BOOK #3 (book review 5- star)

Inside a small village within the Great Plains of Montana, a ritual initiated in blood will be performed. This ceremony has been executed only once before and will mark a rite of honor and justice. Commonly, the Assiniboine are a harmonious people with strong pride and passions, but turn to the spirits for vengeance when wronged. The tribe’s chief will summon the Great Spirit on behalf of his people, for no earthly man can make evil suffer like a greater evil.

Legend of the Chupacabra finds Jessie and Suzanne living peacefully in Portland, Oregon, six years after they believed to have put an end to the curse of the chupacabra. But the women come to learn of their failure and the futility of their sacrifices when a remarkable reunion brings horror back into their lives; only this time, what they face will be unlike any creature they've encountered. Legend of the Chupacabra marks the end of a trilogy but the continuation of a saga that will leave this moment of history drenched in blood.

Hardbound Giveaway: Captive by A.D. Robertson

For twenty-five years, Tristan Doran has enjoyed a life of power and privilege, but his days at Castle Tierney are lonely and tedious, surrounded by servants and wolf Guardians enlisted to protect him. As a direct descendent of the Keepers—witches who have embraced dark magic—Tristan’s bloodline is too valuable to risk, so his overlord Bosque Mar has kept him safe, and therefore forced him to observe the centuries-old Witches War from the sidelines.

Sarah is a beautiful and young Searcher, fighting for the other side. When she is captured and made prisoner in Tristan’s castle, he is instantly infatuated with her. Each a captive in their own right, Tristan and Sarah are unable to contain their desires and the pair flings themselves into a passionate and forbidden romance—only to discover that their love is at the heart of a prophecy predicting the downfall of the only world Tristan has ever known. 

CAPTIVE is hot, sexy, and completely addictive. Tristan and Sarah are tangible and alluring characters, and Robertson’s coy and witty voice shines in the role of romantic narrator.

International Paperback Giveaway: The Blood She Betrayed by Cheryse Durant

TO SAVE HER KINGDOM, SHE MUST BETRAY HER BLOOD…

Thrust into the technology-driven Earthlands via magical mists, Shahkara is forced to rely on Max McCalden to help find the ancient Elnara death lantern, her homeworld’s last chance of survival against the heart-devouring Taloners.

Max has his own problems – a manipulative billionaire father, a murdered brother – but nothing prepares him for this fugitive warrior’s razor-sharp talons and magical abilities.

Shahkara’s half-Taloner blood demands what she knows she can’t have – a human heart. She longs for love, but as deadly enemies attack at every turn, will her lust for Max destroy them both? Or will she find the strength to free both worlds from a threat more horrific than the demons that share her blood?

Guest Author: Cheryse Durrant / Free Download (12 chapters) / Giveaway for The Blood She Betrayed

As a child I was shy and awkward, but I found my niche in reading and writing. I even remember hand-publishing my own stories in single-edition “Cheryse” magazines, made from large sheets of butcher’s paper and illustrated with magazine cut-outs.

My sister Tammy was my ever-willing accomplice as we played fantasy and outerspace games. We loved superhero adventures so much that we wore out our original Superman video tape – right at the point where Christopher Reeve’s clean-cut crusader rescues Margot Kidder’s Lois from that out-of-control helicopter (and let’s not even get started on the ewoks in Return of the Jedi).

So when I started writing full-length manuscripts at the age of 14, it was only natural that my stories mirrored the adventures I liked reading about – but with females not males playing centre-stage.

Even as a teenager, the heroines I created were always strong women facing close-to-impossible goals. They were often young girls who struggled with a disease or handicap (or what they perceived as a weakness) that eventually became key to their happiness or success. After all, the greatest demon or challenge that most of us will ever face is ourselves.

In The Blood She Betrayed, my kick-butt heroine Shahkara hates her half-demon self, but it’s her talons, healing abilities and super strength that enables her to save her world and people.

Here’s a tiny snippet from my novel:

‘What about you?’ Max’s tawny eyes gazed at her.

Dread gripped Shahkara’s heart like a fistful of nails. Her mission depended on activating the death lantern and destroying all Taloners at the same time. Even as a half-blood, she would not survive the blast. She had to die to ensure no Taloners remained. She turned away. ‘You ask too many questions.’

Shahkara arrives on Earth to find the ancient Elnara death lantern, her homeworld’s last chance of survival against the heart-devouring Taloners, but once in Australia, she is forced to rely on billionaire heir Max McCalden but he has his own problems, including a manipulative father and a murdered brother. Still, nothing prepares him for her razor-sharp talons and half-Taloner blood, a blood that demands what she knows she can’t have – a human heart. As deadly enemies attack at every turn, Shahkara fears her lust for Max will destroy them both, but she is determined to save their worlds from a threat more horrific than the demons that share her blood.

I loved writing The Blood She Betrayed because it captures all the action, romance, magic and suspense (and twists and turns) of those superhero movies that I’ve loved since I was a child. Modern-day releases such as X-Men (Hugh Jackman *sigh*) and The Avengers (Chris Hemsworth *sigh*) have just continued to fuel my passion.

But as a girl, I’ll always want to write from a female’s perspective and a female’s strengths and vulnerabilities. After all, I’m female. And proud of it.

Cheryse Durrant short bio:

Dead fingers curled around an ancient crypt and a love of Celtic mythology were the two inspirations behind Cheryse Durrant's The Blood She Betrayed, the first novel in her young adult/new adult Heart Hunters series. Durrant was born within days of Tolkien’s death and grew up on an Australian cattle farm where she chatted to scrub faeries and an imaginary superhero. She wrote her first story on her aunt's bedroom wall but it did not attract the literary acclaim she deserved. She worked as a journalist for 15 years before trading her soul for fiction. The coffee/chocolate/strawberry addict now lives on the central Queensland coast where she teaches writing through Creative Dragons (www.creativedragons.com.au) and is an avid WriteFest (www.bundywriters.com) fan.

Paperback Giveaway: The Age of Desire by Jennie Fields

THE AGE OF DESIRE 

by Jennie Fields

For fans of The Paris Wife, a sparkling glimpse into the life of Edith Wharton and the scandalous love affair that threatened her closest friendship.

They say behind every great man is a woman. Behind Edith Wharton, there was Anna Bahlmann—her governess turned literary secretary, and her mothering, nurturing friend.

When at the age of forty-five, Edith falls passionately in love with a dashing younger journalist, Morton Fullerton, and is at last opened to the world of the sensual, it threatens everything certain in her life but especially her abiding friendship with Anna. As Edith’s marriage crumbles and Anna’s disapproval threatens to shatter their lifelong bond, the women must face the fragility at the heart of all friendships.

Told through the points of view of both women, The Age of Desire takes us on a vivid journey through Wharton’s early Gilded Age world: Paris with its glamorous literary salons and dark secret cafés, the Whartons’ elegant house in Lenox, Massachusetts, and Henry James’s manse in Rye, England.

Edith’s real letters and intimate diary entries are woven throughout the book. The Age of Desire brings to life one of literature’s most beloved writers, whose own story was as complex and nuanced as that of any of the heroines she created.

GIVEAWAY GIVEAWAY GIVEAWAY

Penguin is giving away two paperback copies of THE AGE OF DESIRE. This is open to readers and bloggers from the US and must be 18 years old and above.
