Hi Ashley,

I hope you’ll consider reviewing my latest novel, and winner of the Literary Titan Golden Book Award, “Yuri & the Pig” (87,000 words [282 pages] published by Wild Wolf Publishing on September 1, 2023), a work of fiction based on the current war in Ukraine. However, the countries involved are fictitious, too.

Some excerpts from editorial reviews:
“C W Lovatt's storytelling is masterful…” ~ Readers’ Favorite
“Lovatt's novel is a literary gem …” ~ A Look Inside
“A genuinely thought-provoking novel, it beckons readers to reflect on the intricate dance of life, growth, and self-discovery.” ~ Literary Titan

The following is the blurb:

“From the best-selling author of the Charlie Smithers adventures.

A farmer and his pig set off on an extraordinary quest across war-torn Eastern Europe.

Entangled in a savage war, the country of Xoraina is fighting for its very existence; but to Yuri, a simple peasant from a remote mountain village, it seems all but certain that the invading Zlaimperians must ultimately prevail. Not that it is of any consequence to him, of course. In Yuri’s view, every form of government is equally bad, so it makes very little difference who holds the reins of power. Indeed, throughout time, the only things that have ever really mattered are that the soil be tilled, the cows milked, and the pigs shipped to market, all in a timely fashion.

But when an exorbitant new tax threatens that philosophy, he sets off with his pig across the war-ravaged land to the Capital in order to fight the injustice. In the process, their journey becomes a road to a terrible enlightenment, causing Yuri to question his deeply seated beliefs. But only when he and his pig find themselves placed squarely in destiny’s path is there any hope of those questions finding answers.”

If interested, please contact me at [email protected] and I’ll arrange for you to receive an e-copy in the format you prefer.

Thank you for your time.

A Romantasy Novel ❤️

Ariana, a 16-year-old daughter of a wealthy merchant in Edenhaven, has suffered abuse at the hands of her family since childhood, eroding her confidence, trust in herself, and belief in love and familial bonds. However, her life takes a dramatic turn one fateful night when her father expels her from their home, leaving her injured. This expulsion becomes the catalyst for her discovery of a new, magical world called Eloria, where she begins to find love with Thorne and starts to trust again. Yet, beneath the surface of her newfound happiness lies a dark secret about Thorne and his world that Ariana has yet to uncover.

Once I thought he was my new world, my refuge, my life, when he held me into his arms, gently lifted my chin and asked, "Who did this to you? Who gave you all these bruises?"
I thought he would keep me safe from the world, from my parents, who tormented me since childhood.
Little did I know, that it was all a trap. A show. He never loved me. He never really cared for me.
All he wanted me was for my powers. And I, like a fool, gave him my heart.


This is a tale of Ariana's journey to rediscover herself and her worth amidst the backdrop of a mystical and uncertain world.

Hi Ashley, I'm Ann-Elizabeth!

I've recently published The Year of Fallen Stars, a historical romance suspense with a dark twist. The blurb goes as follows:

An unsolved Victorian murder forces together the son of an English crime lord in 1881 and a Canadian woman living over a century later, in this thrilling time-travel trilogy.

It features gothic romance themes, time travel, gangs, violence, damaged anti-heroes with criminal ties, forbidden love and a bit of spice.

You can read the detailed summary here:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8DKR33H

I'm also looking for ARC readers for the sequel, Where the Moths Hide. The story gets dark as characters are left to deal with the aftermath of book 1. The professionally edited manuscript should be ready within two weeks. :)

Let me know if you're interested. Many thanks for your time!

Ann-Elizabeth

Prelude of Fire: The Gailean Quartet, Book 1

Hello there!! I'm an author of a YA epic fantasy series. Previously published, but I had to leave the publisher last year due to an unfortunate negative experience. So, like my characters, I'm on a quest! I'll be republishing later this year and am questing for early readers for my ARC for Book 1, Prelude of Fire.

Prelude of Fire has found family, a good vs. evil quest, emotional twists and turns, and elemental and musical magic. One reader says it's like "if Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings had a baby."

ARC is available in PDF, Epub, and Mobi.

If you're interested in helping me out, drop a comment or message me here directly. I appreciate any help I can get for a successful relaunch. Thanks for considering!

Here's the blurb to help you decide if you're interested:

A desperate mission. Sinister sorcery. Can she find the seven prism shards to stop the world from being destroyed?

Ashlai, a young Fyre mage who can harness powers of flame from the sun, yearns to know about her kin. Her adoptive elven father refuses to let her travel abroad with her brother, and she despairs of ever knowing who she really is. But when the new king’s vicious spell attacks her forest home, she flees toward that unknown past—and an uncertain destiny—guided only by the strange melody in her head and a piece of broken prism.

Determined to save the land from the enchanted drought burning everything in its path, Ashlai searches for six other magical fragments to overthrow the ruthless king. With the help of a shape-shifting thief, two squabbling bards, and a snarky water elf, she races toward a perilous confrontation…and a life-changing truth.

Can Ashlai fight fire with fire to defeat the devastating spell before it consumes the entire land? And can she survive the secrets she discovers without losing her new friends, her family, and even herself?

Prelude of Fire is the thrilling first book in The Gailean Quartet YA epic fantasy series. Featuring a diverse cast, high-stakes quests, and music melded with magic, you’ll love Schulze’s emotional journey.

Read Prelude of Fire to ignite destiny today!

Kezia Kos | 15 comments Hello,

would you be willling to review my book series?

Would you be willing to provide a review for my book?Please contact me if you are interested to read about gossip, family drama, betrayal and a nosy family with all types of mental diseases you can possibly imagine.

Summary in Amazon:

Corporate worker-bee Kez has finally achieved her lifelong dream of living in Europe, having put behind her at last a myriad of family problems: a narcissistic mother; a chronically ill father; a schizophrenic brother and the dark, intrusive memories of a kitten-murdering grandmother.

But life has no intention of letting her sit back and take a breath - oh, no - because, once again, her family needs her. She flies six thousand miles back to Brazil with her manager, Max, who witnessed Kez having a panic attack upon hearing the news that her father was dying.

As the vigil in the hospital stretches into the night, she tells Max her family stories leading up to the day her mother destroyed their relationship. During the deathwatch, Kez tells Max about her humble family origins in Pernambuco and her last assignment working abroad as a Tourist Consultant in the hot sands of Dubai. She exposes in great detail the intricate balance of power between her nosy-but-well-meaning relatives, her narcissistic mother, her sick father, her schizophrenic brother and how in the end she is forced to choose between her dreams of a future in Europe or the nightmare of her mother's endless online scams.

From the cotton plantations in Pernambuco and the terra roxa farms at the edge of the Paranapanema river, to the corporate offices of Sao Paulo and Frankfurt, with a brief stopover on the South Bank of London, KINTSUGI explores Kez's rich family history up until the moment her family implodes.

message 8: by George (new)

George Veck | 17 comments Hi Ashley,

I hope you are well. My newest book Belabour is a family drama set in Chester, North West England that is 47k words long. Should it pique your interest, I have it available in epub, kpf or pdf form.

A huge drive for me to write Belabour was to highlight the lifelong damage of domestic abuse; how victims often become bait for perpetual torment from multiple fronts, stuck in a miserable rut, unable to live life anywhere near to its potential.

Best regards,

George Veck

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D828GCKN

Description - Belabour follows the pitifully dysfunctional Paxton household; ruled by brutal, controlling Detective Sergeant Drake Paxton, served by his full-time domestic housewife, Amelia, and clung onto by Amelia's emotionally crippled, unemployable addict leech of a brother, Anton.

Amelia's endured this nightmare for nearly a decade, when Drake took advantage of her and Anton's destitution by taking the pair in and piling them with Valium.

Everything was fine, for all of six months before their wedding.
But when the sickening abuse began, leaving wasn't an option. As their sole Valium supplier, mental entrapment was already safely secured.

Slowly siphoned of all support, Amelia's prospects lay painfully thin on the ground. But while scared for her life, some glimmers of hope can't be touched or snatched through domestic torture.
Everyone slips, just depends if the time's worth biding.


message 9: by Uduak (new)

Uduak Smart | 21 comments Please read the Introduction of my book titled " The Favored Maid" and tell me if you would like to read the full book.

In the heart of Australia, amidst the bustling city streets and verdant countryside, there existed a tale as old as time—a story of resilience, ambition, and the unbreakable bonds of family. It was a tale that had been whispered in hushed tones for generations, passed down from parent to child like a cherished heirloom, its details embellished with each retelling until it had taken on a life of its own. And though the names and faces may have changed over the years, the essence of the story remained the same—a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit to overcome even the greatest of adversities.
At the center of this tale stood a young girl named Aliana, her story woven into the fabric of the Smith family legacy like a delicate thread in a tapestry of dreams and aspirations. Orphaned at a young age and left to fend for herself in a world that had often been cruel and unforgiving, Aliana had weathered the storms of uncertainty and hardship with a grace and dignity that belied her tender years. And though her path had been fraught with challenges and obstacles, she had faced them with a strength and determination that had earned her the admiration and respect of all who knew her.
But it was not until she crossed paths with Mr. Kelvin Smith—a wealthy and generous man with a heart of gold—that Aliana's life truly began to change. Mr. Kelvin had seen something special in the young girl, a spark of greatness that burned bright despite the darkness that threatened to engulf her. And so, he had taken her under his wing, welcoming her into his home and his heart with open arms, determined to give her the chance at a better life that she so rightfully deserved.
Yet, as fate would have it, Aliana's newfound fortune came with its own set of challenges, chief among them being the resentment and jealousy of Mrs. Cynthia Smith, Mr. Kelvin's wife. Though Mr. Kelvin had welcomed Aliana into the family with open arms, Mrs. Cynthia viewed her presence as a threat to her own status and privilege, relegating her to the role of maid and treating her with a coldness and disdain that cut deep.
But Aliana was not one to be deterred by the petty grievances of others. With a resilience born of years spent navigating the treacherous waters of adversity, she had set out to prove herself worthy of the trust and confidence that Mr. Kelvin had placed in her. And prove herself she did, rising through the ranks of the household with a grace and poise that left even her harshest critics in awe.
As the years passed, Aliana grew into a woman of remarkable talents and abilities, her intelligence and drive surpassing even that of Mr. Kelvin's own children. She proved herself to be a capable and dedicated assistant, accompanying Mr. Kelvin on his business dealings and using her extraordinary abilities to help the company thrive in ways that no one could have imagined.

But it was not until the untimely passing of Mr. Kelvin that Aliana's true mettle was put to the test. With the fate of the company hanging in the balance and Mr. Kelvin's children showing little or no interest in their father's legacy, Aliana stepped forward to take on the mantle of leadership, determined to honor Mr. Kelvin's memory and build a future for the company that he had loved so dearly.

And so, with courage and determination, Aliana forged ahead, navigating the complexities of business and marriage with a grace and poise that belied her tender years. Alongside her husband, Canny, she faced the challenges of running a company head-on, using her wit and intelligence to overcome even the greatest of obstacles.
But it was not just in the boardroom that Aliana's influence was felt. Through her philanthropic efforts and commitment to giving back to the community, she made a positive impact on the lives of countless individuals, proving herself to be not just a capable leader, but a compassionate and empathetic one as well.




As the years passed and the Smith Corporation continued to thrive under her leadership, Aliana looked back on her journey with a sense of pride and fulfillment. She had overcome every challenge that had been thrown her way, rising from the ashes of adversity to become the beacon of hope and inspiration that she was today.
And though the road ahead may still be fraught with challenges and obstacles, Aliana faced the future with a sense of optimism and determination, knowing that with her unwavering courage and the support of her loved ones by her side, there was nothing that she could not achieve.




For hers was a story of triumph and resilience—a tale of a young girl who had risen from the ashes of adversity to become the favored maid of the Smith family, and in doing so, had changed the course of her own destiny forever. And as her story continued to unfold, it served as a reminder to us all that no matter how dark the night may seem, there is always hope to be found in the light of a new day.
