B.C. Johnson (bcjohnson) | 1 comments Thanks for the opportunity! My Y.A. supernatural thriller Deadgirl is only $0.99 for the next two days (Jan 1-3), which is like the same price as a chicken soft taco. But there's less lettuce.

It's about Lucy Day, the girl who doesn't let a little thing like her own tragic death ruin her sophomore year. The feel is one-part ghost story, one-part superhero story, and more than a little Buffy the Vampire Slayer.



Thanks!

Lauren Eckhardt I would love to offer a free Kindle version of my book, The Remedy Files: Illusion for anyone who is interested in providing a review here and on Amazon in return! The synopsis is below:

The Remedy Files: Illusion
A life without feelings, a life without decisions; that’s the only life Evangeline knows. Due to the manufacturing of Remedy, her community of Impetus has discovered a way to survive and prevent the self-destructing mistakes of The Before by inhibiting feelings, creating a society that relies wholly on logic and entrusts Impetus to make all the decisions for its people. A chance encounter results in a friendship between Evangeline and Gavin that challenges Evangeline to reassess her conviction in the world she has always known and introduces her to a choice she never thought she had. By defying Impetus on her 18th birthday, Evangeline is taken on an intense journey through divided populations, power struggles, love triangles and the vitality of physical and emotional feelings. Every single part of her being is tested and challenged to make decisions like she’s never before been forced to do. She must determine who she trusts, who she loves, and who she’s willing to sacrifice in pursuit of what’s right and to fight what she believes is wrong.


Thank you! :)

Dustin Bilyk | 2 comments Hello everyone!

My name is Dustin Bilyk, and I'm a YA "high" fantasy writer out of Edmonton, Alberta. If you like Tolkien, Hunger Games and the like, you might just like what I have to offer :)

First, I would love to be able to hook up with some YA authors out here in lonely Western Canada, especially if you're from the Edmonton area. My favourite part of this experience so far is meeting other writers. It's like a little family of introverts trying to get their stuff out there to the public (kind of ironic isn't it?), and I'm LOVING it.

Second, and the reason I am posting in this thread, is that I am giving away five copies of my YA fantasy novel Tournament of Hearts (The Librarian Gladiator, #1) by Dustin Bilyk which was released just before Christmas of last year:

Hamelin, a town separated from the rest of the world, has a deadly problem. Fierce, flying beasts ravage the countryside and cull the sparse human population, forcing the majority of Hamelin’s citizens to live within the safety of her boundaries for fear of being snatched away and torn into pieces. With no help in sight, the Town Council look to their gods for salvation and unearth a chilling answer to their problems.

The Tournament of Hearts � a much-celebrated, barbaric event that pits four gladiators against each other in deadly combat. Winning The Tournament brings rich rewards, fame and glory for one’s bloodline. Losing, however, results in a deadly trip to the Sacrificial Altar for you and all of those who share your blood: man, woman and child. The sacrifice is said to be a blood offering to the gods in payment for reprieve � a necessary evil for the greater good of all.

Neven Fairchild, adolescent town historian and librarian, is chosen by random draw to fight for the survival of his bloodline. Utterly inept at doing much other than reading and writing his histories, Neven must find the courage deep within himself to defeat his stronger opponents, for he discovers that much more than the lives of those he loves hangs in the balance. An evil lurks, waiting for its moment to deliver the death blow, and Neven is all that stands in its way, whether he likes it or not.

M.V. Noerrac | 3 comments Hello YA and Beyond Group,

Like you I'm an avid reader, and YA (and middle grade) is one of my favourite genres. I like it so much that I even started writing, and since I'm a Torontonian :-) it won't come as a surprise that my first novel setting is in Toronto. I read from another thread that one of the newer members of this Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ group is from Muskoka. A good part of my novel is also set in Muskoka (please feel free to check out the Facebook page link below for some of the lovely pictures taken on Labour Day Weekend at our Muskoka cottage).

Please feel free to check out The Soul Shepherd and the Threshold:

YouTube Links for the Book Trailers -

Synopsis: A story about overcoming a most horrific tragedy, of free will versus destiny, and of the search for forgiveness and redemption.

The Soul Shepherd Michael, with young man's eyes the colour of Crab Nebula, guides the dead to cross the threshold. For over a century, he has discharged this duty with blind obedience. Until he met thirteen-year old Noah. Struck by Noah's horrific fate, Michael makes a choice that sets him on a collision course with the very nature of a soul shepherd. Worse, it has awakened demons from his own past, and has forced him to confront a bitter irony - as a soul shepherd he is forbidden to cross the threshold.

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 14 comments Not one, but two books on a countdown deal.
If you ever wanted to try my fantasy titles, now may be a good time.



Due to Amazon restrictions, the reduced price is only effective in the UK & US, but here are the world wide links anyway:





Alloria (Labyrinth of labyrinths, #1) by David M. Staniforth
On her tenth Birthday Alloria discovers her true identity is a mystery.

Her adoptive parents return to her an amulet they took from her after finding her in their cellar,
bare-footed and clutching a rag doll.

Exploring the cellar and discovering that the amulet opens a mysterious labyrinth,
Alloria embarks on a quest in search of answers, a quest that flings
her into an adventure brimming with danger, pain, love, magic, and brutal honesty.

Eye of Dominion (Labyrinth of Labyrinths, #2) by David M. Staniforth
Alloria returns to the planet of her birth, triggering dark forces that begin to influence her brother, Yrion. His fears nettled, Yrion is driven onto a path for dominion that involves those beyond the realm of the living and a pursuit across the far reaches of the universe in a fight for survival.

What would you do if you were a reincarnated, demon fighting warrior, and then came face to face with the demon you had loved, betrayed, and been killed by through the centuries?

Every night in her dreams, she relives her past learning that it’s kill or be killed. Now a bishop at the Vatican whom she saved in another life calls on her once more. She is needed to help defeat evil within the catacombs of Rome. But when she arrives in Rome, she meets Alexander � the man of her dreams! Through the centuries she has loved him, betrayed him, and been killed by him. Will she give him another chance or this time will she strike first?

J. Marie (tabby8) Hello, everyone! My name is Jennifer and I am a debut author of the recently-released YA novel, Calmer Girls.

Calmer Girls by Jennifer Kelland Perry
Calmer Girls

Here's the pitch I submitted that led to a publishing contract:

"How is a young girl to know that getting what she desperately wants will result in a secret revealed and consequences she never imagined?

It is the summer of 1993 in Newfoundland and Labrador and one year into the cod moratorium. Samantha, a sensitive sixteen-year-old devastated by recent losses, discovers first love and a possible escape from her despair when she meets magnetic Ben Swift.

However, there are problems. He happens to be the new boyfriend of her biggest adversary and life-long irritation, her sexy sister, Veronica. Then she finds out the boy driving the vintage Thunderbird has some complex and mysterious issues of his own.

In this fresh coming-of-age debut, CALMER GIRLS, Samantha Cross and her fractured family move from quiet Calmer Cove into the jarring urban culture of St. John's. Our heroine forms a friendship with Ben in spite of her sister's objections. Tensions between the siblings escalate, and Sam is torn between doing what she thinks is right and acting on her heart's desire.

This realistic Young Adult novel allows an honest and introspective glimpse inside a teenage girl's self-deprecating, sometimes humorous angst. Navigating the obstacles of individuality, sibling rivalry, and their parents� divorce, Samantha ultimately learns poignant lessons about love, betrayal and sacrifice."

I will be hosting a giveaway in the days to come. I am currently putting the finishing touches on the sequel to Calmer Girls.
Any feedback or questions are welcome. :)

‘Destiny� bk1
Danielle Kennedy is not one to believe in fairy tale love or destiny holding a plan for the future, nor does she believe in mythical legends, vampires, or spirits...

At sixteen, athletic, honor student Danielle has her life planned out: study hard, play soccer even harder, and slide through high school under the radar. It was a good plan, a solid plan, one that’s worked so far; until Cayden Bridwell—the longtime shy and brainy classmate she has ignored—rides in on his motorcycle and obliterates her plans. Now, life as Danielle knows it, will never be the same.

Wealthy Cayden—only recently coming into his own and learning the shocking truth, that as the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, he is the chosen one, gifted with powers—has shyly stood back and watched unassuming and unsuspecting Danielle, grow into the beautiful girl she is, knowing all along of their destiny to be together, and waiting for the time to be right. After his rapid growth spurt and realizing his full powers and strength, that time is now! Cayden is intent on winning her heart.

But the euphoria of their intoxicating attraction is soon shadowed by despair; neither are prepared for the danger that will ensue, the lives that will be at risk, or the secrets they will be forced to keep, when they discover that destiny’s gifts come with a curse, opening their world to nightmares that become reality and mythical legends that become real, with immortal beings seeking to sway Cayden to the dark side to steal his eternal soul and powers—including Danielle, as his destined soul mate�

Destiny is a sweet and intoxicating fairy tale romance with a paranormal twist, and the first book in the Destiny series.

Come fall in love with Danielle and Cayden, as they discover the power and passion of an all-consuming first love and fight to protect each other and the life they were destined for...

‘Fate’s Path� bk2

When fate’s curse sweeps upon Danielle and Cayden, the secrets behind their destiny begin to be revealed�

Will they be able to fight the darkness seeping in and swaying them, or give in to the power and passion of their all-consuming love, risking Cayden’s pure soul and crossing them to the dark side�?

Come share their journey, as Danielle and Cayden continue to discover the power of their love, and fight to protect each other and the life they were destined for�

Kristin  Richards | 3 comments CREPUSCULAR LIGHT IN THE NIGHT. Is a page-turning YA fantasy book and the first one in the trilogy. It takes you into a world were you'll get to know the Dragon Vampires for the first time.
Dragon Vampires have been with us longer than Vampires have. The werewolfs and the Vikings have known about their secret for a long time. Now it's time to hear their story. Ones you start reading you will be hooked. Love, adventure, family, friendship and betrayal will leave you wanting more for the world has a lot of secrets it has never been ready to share with us, until now.
Not all Vampires can survive on human blood. Not all Vikings fight to save the Vampires and only the toughest Werewolf will go beyond his limits to protect the love of his life that is born a dangerous animal killer with no control over her thirst for animal blood. Get a copy and get to know one of the most exciting world this year Crepuscular Light In The Night.
Crepuscular The Magic Of The Sun's Rays volume 2 will be released soon December 2016.
