 Wonderland Academy re-imagines the fantastical world of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland for a fresh, new adventure.

Book Details: Wonderland Academy: Book One by Melanie Karsak Publication date: August 27th 2019 Genres: Fairy Tales, Fantasy, Retelling, Young Adult Synopsis: Welcome to Wonderland Academy. Don't lose your head. Getting into Wonderland Academy is easy: You must be a little mad. You must follow the white rabbit. You must find the key to enter Wonderland. You must not be named Alice or risk being beheaded by order of the Queen of Hearts. We might have an issue with that last one. My name may be Alice, but Wonderland Academy is everything my real life isn't. Who wouldn't want to learn how to ride a jabberwocky, train with a vorpal sword, cast spells using a teacup, or shapeshift into a fairy? As long as no one figures out my real name, I should be fine. The only problem? Aden, the Queen of Hearts' son, is quickly becoming my best friend. And then there's Corbin. Brooding, surly, tattooed, and definitely not my type, I can't stop thinking about him. But Corbin has secrets of his own, and Wonderland and secrets don't mix. How I'm going to pass my classes and protect my secret like my life depends on it is beyond me. But I better find a way. Because in Wonderland, no Alice is safe.

RAFFLECOPTER GIVEAWAY!    WILD HORSE (a novelette) by Kyle Richardson EBOOK RELEASE DATE: 7/30/19 | GENRE: Dystopian, Superhero, YA, Novelette SUMMARY: Grady has found a crack in the wall—a crack to the outside world. But all he knows about life outside the compound comes from books, magazines, and a photograph of a creature that no longer exists. Things change when he meets a girl with raspberry-yellow hair, and a secret that could lead them to a world beyond the walls. A world where their abilities could change everything … or lead them both to ruin. BUY LINKS: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo | Goodreads  GUEST POST: The Grand, Mysterious Void Sometimes it’s strange being a writer, someone who scribbles words on a page (or types them on a device), with the goal of creating an experience for a reader—a reader that the writer rarely sees. First, there’s the matter of trying to get the words “right”—a subjective target that seems to constantly be moving. What’s beautiful and charming to the author might very well look like the opposite to someone else. Then there’s difficulties of day-to-day life, which always seems so intent on intruding whenever the creative process gets rolling. (For example: try wrestling with an emotional scene while a toddler clambers all over you, demanding your undivided attention.) If the writer makes it past those first two hurdles, then they’re faced with the most amorphous challenge of all: the grand, mysterious void—a chasm with no apparent bottom into which the author is expected to hurl their hard-toiled words, with the hope that, somewhere in that vast emptiness, a reader will stumble across the pages, glance at them for a moment, and feel something profound. Some time ago, I wrote Wild Horse. I tried to get the words right. Life did its best to get in the way. And now I’ve let the pages flutter away, deep into that mysterious void, like a nervous parent wringing their hands over their child’s first day at school. What happens next is, from my perspective, a mystery. Sure, sometimes a message crosses the ether—an email from a stranger here, a comment from a reviewer there—but for the most part, the void remains ink-dark and gaping, like the mouth of an insatiable, word-hungry giant, one that demands to be fed more words. Like I said … sometimes it’s strange being a writer.   ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Kyle lives in the suburban wilds of Canada with his adorable wife, their rambunctious son, and their adventurous daughter. He writes about shapeshifters, superheroes, and the occasional clockwork beast, moonlights as an editor at Meerkat Press, and has a terrible habit of saying the wrong thing at the most inopportune moments. His short fiction has appeared in places such as Love Hurts: A Speculative Fiction Anthology and Daily Science Fiction. AUTHOR LINKS: Website | Twitter | Goodreads  Presented by Meerkat Press Tours
  Demon in the Whitelands by Nikki Richard Publication Date: September 24, 2019 | Publisher: Month9Books SYNOPSIS: Sixteen-year-old Samuel, son of a devout cleric, has endured shame and prejudice his entire life. Though he is destined to follow in his father’s footsteps, he longs for an ordinary life in the whitelands away from talk of demons and holy roots. When the mayor claims to have captured a mute demon-girl, Samuel is forced to become her caretaker. But as Samuel gets to know the prisoner, he finds her not to be very demonlike. Instead, she is intelligent, meek, and an exceptional artist. Despite her seeming goodness, some more concerning things cannot be ignored. Samuel is hard-pressed to reconcile her uncanny strength and speed, one missing arm, ambiguous gender, and the mysterious scars covering most of her body. Samuel forms a deep attachment to the girl with predator eyes and violent outbursts, against his father’s advice. As their friendship threatens to become something more, Samuel discovers the mayor’s dark intentions. Now, he must decide whether to risk his own execution by setting her free, or watch as the girl is used as a pawn in a dangerous game of oppression, fear, and murder.

RAFFLECOPTER GIVEAWAY!    Book details: Zinnia (Angelbound Offspring #3) by Christina Bauer Published by: Monster House Books | Publication date: July 30th 2019 Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult Synopsis: As the last dragon shifter, I live alone, hiding in one of Earth’s sacred deserts. My human handlers tell me that I have no parents, no name, and no purpose other than to train for battle and one day become a vessel for the reincarnation of Chimera, the greatest dragon shifter of all. Sadly, Chimera’s rebirth will mean my own death. But my handlers say this sacrifice is a noble fate that will rebuild the dragon shifter world. I shall die on my seventeenth birthday. That’s five days from now. Then I hear music thumping across the desert. I take my mortal form, follow the sound, and find humans dancing in what they call a rave. There is a stage and a rock band. One thing quickly becomes clear: Unlike the audience, the musicians are dragon shifters, just like me. And one of them, the guitar player Rhodes, makes my knees turn watery. The lead singer, Kaps, has something strangely familiar about her. It all adds up to one conclusion: My handlers lied to me. I’m not the last of my kind. Memories reappear. I had parents once. Portia and Tempest. I even had a name. Zinnia. Perhaps I have a reason to live as well. I step past the dancing humans to confront the players. I will find out the full truth, no matter what.

What are some Tips, Tricks and Tools you use to keep your life organized so you can accomplish all you have to do? A. My Favourite Tips, Tricks and Tools for Writing By Christina Bauer, Author As part of the launch tour for my new release, ZINNIA, the lovely folks at Rockin’ Book Reviews have asked me to write a post on my fav tips and tricks for writing. Happy to share! Tip #1... Make Pinterest boards for key characters and places It's also important to have a Pinterest board of cool stuff that you find inspiring in general. For me, that board is hidden. My public boards are here. Sarah J Maas has some cool boards that you may want to check out as well. PRO TIP: Visit Pinterest if you haven't already. Tip #2... Pick a language base for the groups of people in your world I write fantasy and so this is a huge one for me! I learned this particular trick from Tolkien. Language drives so much of a world, it isn't even funny. How a character speaks gives you a structure for their name and the places around them. Plus, it can also help inspire their history as well. In Angelbound, the Thrax were partially based on ancient Roman gladiators, so their language was Latin. In Maxon, the Elementals were based on the Finnish language. There were also elements of the Kalevala myth in there too, which is a Finnish classic. PRO TIP: Google Translate is awesome here. There are also about a million web sites for baby names by culture. Tip #3... Use a writing tool like Scrivener This allows you to organize research, move chapters around easily, and in general be a badass. You won't realize how much you've been craving it until you give it a try. I put all my 'world bibles' (lists of names, places and descriptions) in here, too. PRO TIP: Check out Scrivener here. So that's it...my favorite tools and tricks. Hope you found them helpful! Thanks for having me stop by and I hope to visit on a future book tour!

Ian has only been a dragon shifter for a few days. He struggles to control the dragon spirit locked inside his human form, doesn’t know what magical powers he may or may not have, and has never been to a magical world.

She is brave, powerful, and can wield a sword like a medieval knight. With growing feelings toward Layla, he couldn’t refuse to help her get the fairies back to the magic realm if he wanted to.

Goodreads | ~ Purchase: Amazon |  Lost Horizon Except 2 The sky is midnight blue with no stars or any moons in sight. I feel so strange, staring at the alien canvas. It’s almost like there’s something wrong with it. There’s no sign of Mirus, which makes me worried the celestial being has left the orbit of Oz. The last time it appeared in our solar system, it only stayed for a few weeks. Toto becomes restless in my arms, as if he’s picking up on my somber mood. His movements remind me that my wrists are still bound. “Hey, Metal Pants. Can we stop now?” The cyborg whirls around. The shadows across the planes of his face make the sharp edges even more pronounced. His robotic eye shines blue for a moment before the light dims. " Do you need to pee?” Heat rushes to my cheeks. I’m glad it’s dark and he can’t see how his simple question made me mortified for no reason. “Why are you getting all flustered? Are you one of those girls who gets embarrassed about everything?” My jaw drops. “How did you know … ugh, never mind. That special eye of yours has an infrared sensor, doesn’t it?” Even in the gloom, I catch the slight upturn of his lips. “Among other things.” “Dorothy’s wrists are still bound. Do you have anything that can cut through the bindings?” the sorcerer pipes in. “Right.” The cyborg approaches, stopping only one step away from invading my personal space. Involuntarily, tension spreads through my body, and I clutch Toto tighter. “Relax,” he continues. “I’m not going to hurt you.” “Are you implying I’m afraid of you?” He cocks his head to the side, his long bangs covering a portion of his face. “Your heartbeat says so.” “Stop reading my vitals with your freakish eye,” I snap. The cyborg’s chest expands right before he releases a loud gale of air through his mouth. “Put your robo-dog down if you don’t want his body damaged.” Still glaring at him, I set Toto on the ground. The poor dog runs to the sorcerer, hiding between his legs with a whine. To show I’m not scared of the cyborg like Toto is, I lift my chin and raise my bound hands. “All right. Do your thing.” When the cyborg arches one eyebrow, I amend. “Please?” He lifts his mechanical hand. From his index finger, a small knife slides out. In one swift move, he cuts the leather bindings from my wrists as if they were made out of butter. “That’s a sharp blade you have there. Planning on scalping anyone?” I rub my wrists.

Clayton Publication date: April 18th 2017 | Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult Synopsis: Monsters come in many forms, and not everyone knows a monster when they see one. After three hundred years of monstrous, feral elves plaguing the island nation of Selkirk, everyone believes they know what a monster is. Humans have learned to live with their savage neighbors, enacting a Clearing every four years to push the elves back from their borders. The system has worked for centuries, until after one such purge, a babe was found in the forest. As Tallis grows, she discovers she isn’t like everyone else. There is something a little different that makes people leery in her presence, and she only ever makes a handful of friends. But when the elves gather their forces and emerge from the forests literally hissing Tallis’s name like a battle mantra, making friends is the least of her troubles. Tallis and her companions find themselves on an unwilling journey to not only clear her name, but to stop the elves from ravaging her homeland.

This story is fast to get your attention and hold it. I can't wait to read the next book of the series. The fantasy world they live in has wonderful creatures and awesome tales of the forests. The characters are so well-developed and easy to like. Their emotions are strong and easy to feel. I love Tallis, she is an awesome character. Her cousin Donovan is also a great guy. I love the way he looks out for her and takes good care of her. Tomas is also one of my favorite characters. He always works hard to please his friends and to help with everything. The story flows really well from chapter to chapter and is easy to follow along. I highly recommend this story to others. I give it a literary rating of 5/5 written by vickie  The Heart of the Forest (The Monster of Selkirk, #2) by C.E.

Not to mention why they keep hissing her name. But the further into the forests they go, Tallis is finding that the elves’ depravity can still surprise her, and thoroughly test the bonds of friendship, family, and love. Tallis’s journey eventually leads to answers they’re not prepared for. Now Tallis begins to wonder just who she really is, and if she’s the evil that will end up destroying Selkirk. But she cannot stop to process these revelations, as an unforeseen betrayal lands those she loves at the feet of the very monster responsible for all the hurt, and heartbreak. Coming face to face with her foe, Tallis discovers all too late she has no idea how to deal with this level of pain, and death. One way or another, the monster’s path ends here, and all Tallis can hope to do is bring those she loves safely out of the heart of the forest.
