  6. Hi! I would like to request a review from you please?

    Fractured Immortal is a New Adult Paranormal romance (for readers age 18+) and is due to be released on 21st December. I would be so very grateful if you would consider reviewing it please.

    I've poured my heart and soul into it, it's been ripped to pieces by Beta readers and Critique Partners and has been professionally edited. My stomach roils with the prospect of sending it out to review now, lol. However, after a year of working on it and trying to make it perfect, I need to let it go and I would be thrilled if you would review it.

    Below are some specifications and links:

    Title/Author: Fractured Immortal by E.L. Wicker
    Genre: New Adult Paranormal Romance
    Length: 444 pages - approx 80k words

    Blurb

    After a terrifying vampire attack in 1810, Ilia Rose spends the next two centuries hunting Sol, the man responsible for turning her and her friends into vampires.

    When Ilia discovers he’s run to the one place she’s running from, she’s forced to face her most painful memories back in her hometown, Bearwood.

    There, Ilia finds herself face to face with Nathaniel, an insanely hot vampire, and despite the evidence he’s working for her enemy, Ilia can’t fight her attraction to him, especially when he seems to show up whenever she needs him most.

    But Nathaniel is keeping secrets and as they begin to unravel, instead of running away from him, Ilia finds herself falling for him. When his last secret is revealed Ilia’s past comes together in a way she never imagined and she’s left with only one option: trust Nathaniel to help her kill Sol, or risk relinquishing her new found strength thus causing catastrophic and devastating consequences for her and everyone she loves.

    Ilia begins a gut-wrenching battle to save her life and the lives of her friends, a battle which not everyone will survive.

    A vampire tale like none other, love, pain, devastation and revenge, all weave together to create the first in a dark and unmissable new adult series.


    I appreciate that time is precious so if you can't review, I completely understand.

    I look forward to hearing from you, my email is emmawicker @ gmail .com

    Kind Regards

  7. Hiyas, would you be interested in reviewing my fantasy book? Here's the blurb + info:

    Warlocks before their time …

    Fourteen-year-old Augum and friends Bridget and Leera dream of becoming warlocks. But with a kingdom in total chaos, it will take courage, sacrifice, and an iron will to make that dream come true.

    The Lord of the Legion, a vicious tyrant, has overthrown the king in a relentless and murderous quest for seven mythic artifacts—and Augum’s mentor, the legendary Anna Atticus Stone, possesses one. While Augum struggles with demons from a painful childhood, a betrayal puts him, his friends, and his mentor through a harrowing ordeal that threatens to destroy them all … and change the course of history.

    Arcane, the debut novel in the fantasy adventure series The Arinthian Line, follows three friends as they navigate an ancient abandoned castle, endure grueling training, challenge old mysteries, and learn that a bond forged in tragedy might just be the only thing to save them from a ruthless enemy.

  8. I would like to submit for your consideration "A Game of Greed and Deception: A Mystery Drama" (184 pages / 70,000 words on Kindle) by John Mathews. This is a carefully crafted psychological thriller novel. The characters and setting are very realistic. It is intense, well-paced mystery, and keeps the reader guessing as to what is really going on. The twists are well-timed and unsuspected. For those that think they have it all figured out, they might want to wait until the final chapter reveals everything.

    My author bio and blurb can be found on the Amazon link below. If you would like my book sent to you in another format, please let me know. Thanks for your time. My direct email is JMathewsman@yahoo.com

    warm regards,

    John Mathews

  9. Hi - I love your site!
    I would like to request an review of my novel BOWERY GIRL, and would love to do an interview of guest post.

    BLURB:
    NEW YORK, 1883: Gamblers and thieves, immigrants and street urchins, Do-Gooders and charity houses, impossible goals and impossible odds. The Bowery is a place where you own nothing but your dreams. And dreams are the only things that come cheap for pickpocket Mollie Flynn and prostitute Annabelle Lee.

    Pleasure is fleeting - and often stolen. Nights at Lefty Malone's saloon, sneaking into the Thalia Theatre. Then it's back to their airless, windowless tenement room and the ongoing struggle to keep a roof over their heads and bread in their stomachs.

    The Brooklyn Bridge is nearing completion, and things are changing in New York City. The two women fantasize of starting a new life across the East River. Nothing but a flight of fancy, perhaps, until wealthy Do-Gooder Emmeline DuPre, who has opened the Cherry Street Settlement House, steps into their lives with her books, typewriters, and promises of a way to earn a respectable living. Despite Mollie and Annabelle's fascination with the woman and what she offers, is Emmeline helping or meddling?

    Is it really possible to be anything other than a Bowery Girl? Mollie and Annabelle will have to decide exactly who they are, and what sort of women they want to be.

    SPECS:
    Women's Historical Fiction
    190 pages
    Available in print and Kindle

    BIO:
    My mission is to write historical fiction and romance that explores women's lives and brings their struggles and triumphs out of the shadows of history and onto the canvas of our American past. I wish to share the stories of women whose lives are untold, who don't exist in textbooks: the disenfranchised, the forgotten, those with double lives and huge hearts filled with weakness and courage.

    My current novel, Under the Pale Moon, is due for release in Fall 2015. Set in post-World War II Monterey, California, it explores the relationship of a married woman breaking the bonds of conformity, and a combat nurse haunted by the ghosts of war.
    My interactive historical romances The Very Thought of You and It Don't Mean a Thing, are out now on Kindle and SilkWords.com. I am also the author of the novels Bowery Girl, (Re-release 2015) and Cissy Funk, winner of the WILLA Literary Award for Best Young Adult Fiction.

  11. Hi Emily. What are two nice, middle-aged church ladies doing at a New Age Goddess Conference? And why has the manager of the Thunder Bay Charity Casino turned up dead next door? Will Mary Carlisle, the lovelorn organist at St. Stephen the Martyr Church, ever win the heart of the church gardener?
    Find out the answers to these, and other burning questions in "The Serenity Stone Murder," a kinder, gentler murder mystery set in Thunder Bay, Ontario, home to the Sleeping Giant, the Hoito Restaurant, and the world-famous Persian pastry. For those who like their mysteries served up with a side dish of humor.
    I am a Thunder Bay writer with credits in Reader's Digest, Canadian Living, and others. You can find out more about me at http://www.mariannejones.ca.
    "The Serenity Stone Murder," published by Split Tree Publishing, is 198 pages and 50,000 words.
    I would be thrilled to send you an epub for review, if you are interested. I look forward to hearing from you.
    Sincerely,
    Marianne, jonesmarianne2@gmail.com

  13. Hi,

    My first mystery, "The Girl who went Missing," came out on April 23rd. It is set in Mumbai, India, and though it has mystery written all over it, there is a sliver of romance as well. I wrote it to entertain readers but at the same time I wanted to highlight a socially pressing topic.

    While it's never easy to convert a 245 page (89,616 words) novel into a few paragraphs, here is the synopsis:
    When June Warner arrives in India to visit her sister Thalia, a trip to take her mind off her jilted engagement, she is greeted by the bright hot chaos of Mumbai but not her sister. She goes to the YMCA where Thalia is staying, only to find that she is not there.
    Convinced that Thalia’s no-show is a sign that she is in danger, June begins a desperate search for her younger sister.
    Police Commissioner Oscar D'Costa, scarred by the tragedies of his past, swears he will never again ignore his gut instinct when it comes to a missing girl. And with more and more dead foreign women being found in his precinct, he becomes convinced a conspiracy is at play.
    Through the two worlds of American naiveté and Indian chaos, they must find the girl who went missing.

    If this interests you, I would be delighted to send you a copy that is Kindle friendly. I do have some reviews on Goodreads and Amazon, if you choose to read them. Finally, I don't have a time frame for a review; you get to it when you get to it.

  15. Hello, I am contacting you on behalf of Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra. Her book The Book of Hours is currently available every where. Currently, it has only 5 star ratings and is a romantic suspense novel. Here is the blurb:

    For artist Gabriela Martinez, psychopaths do hit twice. What did she ever do to deserve this?
    An unscrupulous arts dealer covets Gabriela’s work to the point of madness, Richard Harrison is willing to do anything to get her back in his life, and if Richard and Gabriela don't stop this new threat, their chances for a future together will go up in flames.

    A LOVE IN JEOPARDY
    In 1993, artist Gabriela Martinez almost lost her life to a sociopath’s twisted vision. If not for Richard Harrison, the operative sent to protect her, she would have ended up dead. The dramatic showdown pushed them together, but there were too many obstacles temporarily pulling them apart.

    A NEW THREAT
    After catching a glimpse of Gabriela’s new work, The Book of Hours, Arnold Wickeham has been like a man possessed. Now, he will do anything—anything—in order to claim it, and nothing, especially not Gabriela, will stand in his way.

    THE PAST IS CATCHING UP
    Richard Harrison has never given up his true love, Gabriela. Now someone new is threatening her life, and he will risk everything to protect her. But the stakes are now higher, and there is much more to lose. And, if he doesn’t stay one step ahead of the danger, her life, but especially, their future, may very well go up in flames.
    Set in California and London, The Book of Hours, the follow-up to The Coin, is a story about greed, obsession, family duty, and, especially, deserved second chances.

  16. Hi there,I've recently uploaded an Ebook onto Amazon kindle, and was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing it?
    Called 'Blackspoon,' it's a pulp crime thriller about a young RAF officer who is coerced into smuggling heroin back from the war in Afghanistan.
    It's 60,000 words long. Please find enclosed the blurb for your consideration.
    Thanks for your time,
    Best wishes,
    Dan Eagleton

    Blurb:

    If you were at the centre of a real-life conspiracy, would you even know it?

    Charlie has just smuggled five kilos of uncut heroin back from the war in Afghanistan. This much he knows for sure. He also knows that, after he made it through customs, another solider was caught doing the same as him. And that the military policemen who provided safe passage; one of them has been found dead in an apparent suicide, while the other one has gone AWOL. Is it really possible there’s some kind of cover-up going on? Because even if there is –even if Charlie knew that for sure- who’d believe him? After all, he’s a criminal now. Veteran of a war no one quite understands. Praying, hoping. Waiting for whatever’s coming next.

  17. Dear Emily,

    My name is Peter Petrack. I enjoy your blog's straightforward but sincere style, so I would like to submit my new novel, Wayfarers Highway, for a review.

    It’s a story with elements of mystery, fantasy, and adventure. Wayfarers Highway is being primarily marketed as adventure/urban fantasy. The print copy is 290 pages.

    A camper travels the back roads of America, but it is not what it seems. Pursued by powerful forces: a mastermind, a maniac, and a terrorist, its crew wonders if they'll ever reach Journey's end.

    When Eloise Corwin - a longtime patient in her desert hometown's infirmary - finds a wounded young traveler sharing her sick room; she insists that he tell her about his adventures. The young man, Orson Gregory, tells her how he found and stole a glowing gemstone, hidden for decades beneath the government-built factory beside his family farm. He tells her how he's been chased ever since - by mercenaries, by terrorists, and by other, stranger enemies. He tells her how he threw in his lot with a real adventurer, a mythology professor, an innkeeper, and a duo of hired guns on a cross-country journey to clear his name and return home - something he's currently failing to do. To reach safety, the motley travelers will first have to deal with each other, evade the foes that follow their every move, and tangle with other forces both strange and powerful, their fellow travelers on the Wayfarers Highway.

    Here are the Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Goodreads links.
