Looking for a few people to read a Bram Stoker-ish novel. I will send a free Kindle copy of my book Vivienne: The Lost and Found to anyone interested in exchange for an honest Amazon review. Vivienne is an epic two-part historical fiction/romance novel with a bit of a supernatural twist. Part...

I am an independent writer and just like any other author I struggle to get noticed - and I'm sure I don't need to list all the ways to approach this. Well, I'm in between projects right now and figured I'd tackle some of the books I've been meaning to read. The very first book I chose was a...

Free after midnight and all day Sunday. This is a new release and I could really use some read and reviews. If you download a copy please consider taking a few minutes to post a review when you are finished with the book. Here is a link to pick-up a copy...

I know everyone is probably very busy, but here is my first revision after taking in some of the suggestions. A couple of "scenes" if you will, I thought were worth keeping but I am still open to suggestion.

To Meadow: Yes, this is self-published work. I am looking for unbiased and honest opinions, so anything goes, I assure you. To Sparhawk: In the first chapter, Elayna is 7 years old, but the book itself follows her life and the relationship that develops between the two main characters from...

Thanks for reaching out! I wrote this book for my daughter - she will be 13 soon, and that age group is the target audience.

This e-book will be available for a free download on Monday, March 25th through Amazon. It is a great book for tweens and young adults. There is some violence, some adult situations, but they are only implied and not graphic. Please consider giving it a read!!
