Hi Erika! Quick question for you... Do I promote in this thread, or should I start a whole new topic? I didn't want to clutter up that nice clean board if that wasn't the intent. ;) Thanks!

I was thinking you could start a new topic in this folder with your name as the topic title

Hi, my name is Lucille LaBossiere. I live in Terrace, British Columbia, which is about half way up the province. I recently published my first book, "The Switch ~ hctiwS ehT". It took me about seven years to finally complete this. I built it around an idea and a visual picture that I had since I was a young girl. The genre of this book is quite mixed, but it most closely fits into young adult, drama - romance. My grandson's grade five class has just invited me to talk to them about the experience of writing and publishing a book. I'll keep you posted about how that goes.

Welcome Lucille, I'm in Nova Scotia on the other side of the country from you!

Thanks for the opportunity to share my vampire adventure novel, What Kills Me, with the Addicted gang!

"An ancient prophecy warns of a girl destined to cause the extinction of the vampire race.

So when 17-year-old Axelia falls into a sacred well filled with blood and emerges a vampire, the immortal empire believes she is this legendary destroyer. Hunted by soldiers and mercenaries, Axelia and her reluctant ally, the vampire bladesmith Lucas, must battle to survive.

How will she convince the empire that she is just an innocent teenager-turned bloodsucker and not a creature of destruction? And if she cannot, can a vampire who is afraid of bugs summon the courage to fight a nation of immortals?"

Vampire High School Book 1: Gregor Academy


Welcome to the world of Vampire High School.
A dual voice vampire adventure.
An exciting NEW format by the new collaboration of Ian Hall and Lachelle Miller. Not only a new Vampire series, but a whole new way to write!

The critics may have thought there was nothing new in the “Vampire genre”, but this book proves them totally wrong.

Gregor Academy in Northern Arizona, has one main problem; it’s got a small population of vampires, hiding in its academic ranks.
Page one of this fast-moving vampire adventure, has Gregor Academy senior, Alan McCartney, being murdered by a local visiting cheerleader.
This is big enough news at the best of times...
But when they both turn out to be vampires...
And the act happens on the steps of the school at the Friday-night ball game...
AND it happens in the middle of the marching band, it’s hardly a private matter.

As the students and musicians flee the scene, the only person running to Alan’s aid, is his friend, geek Lyman Bracks.

So begins a brand new two-voice, super-fast paced vampire adventure. Brand new; ready for you to devour.

Ian Hall writes from the perspective of Lyman Bracks, Alan’s best friend as he is dragged kicking and screaming into the world of Vampires and Helsings.

Lachelle Miller writes from the perspective of Mandy Cross, the cheerleading vampire who has Alan’s blood on her hands, down her chest, and smeared all over her pretty smiling face.
Also available...
Vampire High School Book 2: The Helsing Diaries
Vampire High School Book 3: The Rage Wars
I hope you give these books a chance. Nice to feel at home in the group.
Ian

Hello Everyone!

This month I'm promoting my new young adult novel SKID!



Can a small-town girl with a big attitude balance a boy and a demanding racing career in Formula 1, the biggest racing circus in the world?

Samantha Sutton drove the car that killed her dad. Now the seventeen-year-old can’t rest until she becomes the racing champion her dad molded her to be. Samantha exploits the system and earns a spot on a German racing team struggling to be relevant against the elite teams of Formula 1.

Samantha pushes herself, pushes her car, pushes her luck at 200 miles per hour. She battles Emilio Ronaldo, seven time world champion and Ferrari racing god. A hero to young girl, but now a rival to a young woman.

To keep herself sane, Samantha relies on her best friend Manny. But she doesn’t know quite what to do about his deep feelings for her. She would love to ask her sisters for advice, but they won’t talk to her. Not since Samantha told them the truth about Dad’s accident. The truth about that dark and rainy night.

SKID is available in Paperback and eBook (Kindle, Nook, and Kobo) Go to this link for more information:

Hi everyone...I wasn't sure where to post this so I thought I'd bring it here. I recently 'finished' my novel (I still have a ton of redrafting to do, no doubt) and decided to create a new tumblr. The idea is to update it with my progress and information on the process that I go through when writing. I also plan on uploading snippets of various pieces of writing that I've done so that people can get a taste of my style.

I'd really appreciate anybody that takes a look and takes a chance on me. I realise that I'm not as far along the process as alot of people here but I promise you that this is real to me and I am determined.

http://nataliecrown.tumblr.com/

EDIT: I'm also new to this site and to this process in general so I'd appreciate any advice that may be flying around! Thanks.

Hi, I just published my second book.
Hope you can check it out.
Three Twigs for the Campfire

Billy is more than a little nervous. Even with all the excitement of his first kid only camp out, there is something truly bothering him. Listen to the fire crackle as the Miller children, in their campfire tradition, each tell a story. Will the fire last till Billy can fall asleep? Worse yet, what will happen when it is his turn to tell a story? Lastly, why won’t the fly and mosquito buzzing around the campfire leave him alone?

Hi, I have just released my debut novel "Faded", the first book in The Faded Trilogy. I would love to hear what people think :)



Faded

"Savannah wanted to kiss him, but she had never even kissed a human guy before, let alone a ghost. How was she supposed to kiss him if he wasn't really there?"

Savannah has never been in love before, but she's in love with Hunter Emmerton. He's cute, funny, charming...and a ghost. How can you date someone if nobody else can see them?

After seventeen-year-old Savannah Fraser and her three friends are killed in a car accident, they are given a second chance at life by a group of hundred-year-old teenage earthbound spirits who need their help.

Savannah and her friends learn that they are The Chosen Ones, which means they can switch between human and spirit form, heal people and control the weather. And they are also now invincible.

The Chosen Ones are the only ones who can defeat The Forces - a group of evil spirits who are slowly destroying the perfect little town of Fort Everwick with violent storms and not-so-natural disasters - and stop them from harming everyone they care about.

The Forces are set on destroying everything Savannah knows and loves, but they also have another plan - they want a new member to join them. They aren't willing to give up until they get the one they want...and they have Savannah firmly in their sights.

Savannah had never been confident in herself before, but with her new-found powers, she discovers just how strong herself and her friends really are. But what Savannah didn't count on was falling in love with Hunter. She's never loved anyone the way she loves Hunter and she knows he loves her too. But how can they be together forever if he no longer exists and she's the only one who can see him?

Will Savannah have enough belief in herself to defeat The Forces, or will they be able to lure her to the dark side and turn her against her loved ones...and tear her and Hunter apart?

Just had another 5 Star Review from a Goodreads reviewer for The Morrow Secrets.

Its coming up to Halloween why don't you try the first two chapters for yourself..it's spooky, creepy, with strong female characters in a dark house called Winderling Spires... go to my website at:

Thanks for this thread!

I recently published In Your Dreams , which is the first book of a proposed three-book series.

Sixteen-year-old Zara "Zip" McKee lives for three things: basketball, books, and bailing out of tiny Titusville, Illinois, where the junior high and high school are in the same building and everyone's known everyone else since birth. But when Kieran Lanier moves to town and passes out on her desk on his first day at school, Zip's life gets complicated in a way she never dreamed.

Kieran has narcolepsy, and although he sometimes struggles to stay awake, he has no trouble capturing Zip's heart and trusting her with his most guarded secret--he sees bits and pieces of the future in his dreams.

But just when Zip thinks that maybe she can handle having a boyfriend who sees things before they happen, her budding relationship with Kieran gets a jolt when Kieran's parents reveal that his sleeping disorder is not what it seems and may be putting them in harm's way. And when Zip begins to have unsettling dreams, she must decide if she can live with knowing the future in advance when she's afraid of what might happen.

I'm currently running a discount promotion for e-copies of the book on Smashwords--anyone interested can message me and I'll send the code along.

My New Novella is free for everyone! Click the link below to check it out!

Hello all.

I am new here but would like to throw my new book into the ring for consideration.

http://www.amazon.com/Age-Heroes-Hunt...

Not every hero is lucky enough to be born a mutant, wizard, or demi-god.

Five years ago Samantha Hathaway’s archaeologist parents died while saving the world and she left her life in the secret world of magic, monsters, and mad scientists behind for the quiet simplicity of suburbia. But now, at age fourteen, the world class couch potato finds out she has inherited a spot at the brand new Miller's Grove Academy, a school designed to train a wide range of the best and brightest teens into the leaders of the 21st Century.

Instead of the usual cliques of geeks, nerds, jocks, and cheerleaders she was prepared to deal with in high school, Sam finds herself the least talented student in a school full of video game champions, eccentric inventors, monster hunters, pop stars, and wannabe world emperors.

As if things weren't bad enough she is framed for the theft of a powerful magical artifact that could spark a war between the forces of science and magic. With both sides gearing up for battle it is up to Sam and her new friends to find the real thief, prevent a war, and confront the most powerful sorcerer in history.

Worst. Freshman Year. Ever.

I particular recommend this book for fans of Percy Jackson, HP, or Buffy, the Vampire Slayer.

Hello everyone. My name is James Williamson and I'm a MASSIVE Manga and Anime fan. The list of what I haven't consumed would be shorter! However, some favourites are Naruto, One Piece, InuYusha and Full Metal Alchemist.
I joined Goodreads tonight when I finally took a hint from one of the many invites I received about it from Facebook friends. And I'm glad I did. I'm also a novelist as of a few weeks ago, releasing my first illustrated serial book, "Senpai: The Tale of the Gallant Dandelion" on Amazon.
I hope to really get stuck into the community on here and thank you for setting up this group!
