Comment by Frugal Plus Jill on May 23, 2013 at 12:18pm: Newest Read - Status Quo by Mark Rosendorf #Sci-Fi #Giveaway!

It’s a conspiracy that leaves these lost souls stranded in a strange galaxy with a damaged ship surrounded by threats both human and alien. Even if this group worked together and managed to survive, could they – would they – return to the uncaring world that sent them to space to die? With the alternative looking exceedingly grim, the journey of Status Quo seems doomed. Or is it?

Blogger Comment by Rachel Marks on April 19, 2013 at 2:54pm: I am organziing a release day blitz on April 22nd for The Hypothesis of Giants Book One: The Assumption. If you are interested in participating please fill out this form.

Book Description:

For the past fifteen years no one questioned the Sacred Hour in the town of Candlewick. Until one night a mysterious conch shell sounds throughout the Sacred Hour, only to be heard by two young teenagers. Aurora Alvarez is a misfit amongst her peers, desperately trying to fit in but failing to live up to the expectations of her parents and society.

She unexpectedly discovers she is fated to ally herself with none other than rebellious Boreas Stockington, who allegedly escaped from the impenetrable Candlewick Prison. These two young teenagers must embark on a perilous adventure where they need to help Otus, a thirty-foot giant, prevent a cataclysmic event from occurring—the Geometric Storm.

The journey will take them far from the safety of Wishbone Avenue and into the depths of the unknown and the secrets of the past. However, nothing could prepare these unlikely heroes for facing their own inner demons and the realization that Aurora and Boreas are on this quest together, whether they want to be or not.

Author Comment by Valerie Estelle Frankel on March 24, 2013 at 2:49pm: An Unexpected Parody: The Unauthorized Spoof of The Hobbit Movie—free this week!

From now through March 31, this new parody ebook will be available absolutely free in the format of your choice at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/283755 Reviews are highly appreciated. There’s also a paperback giveaway at http://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/47755-an-unexpected-parody-t...

Return to the film with mayhem, mirth, and magic missiles—or at least, crumpled newspaper missiles. Torn Teepeeshield, the Hot Prince of the Dwarves, puts aside his developing stardom in dwarf cabaret to quest to the Lame Old Mountain and destroy the dragon Erpolushun, or in the common tongue, Smog. It's up to Bumble Baglunch to save the day with his knowledge of pop culture. Together with Bobbin, Noggin, Rover, Clover, Sloppy, Ploppy, Frappe, Hottie, Spottie, Quaff, Sloth, and Ezekiel the dwarves, they journey across Renfair Earth to revive their franchise. Destiny may be a word writers use to pave over plotholes, but Bumble is determined to triumph nonetheless and play as good a game of goblin golf as his ancestors. http://www.vefrankel.com for more info.

Comment by Stacey Donaldson on March 23, 2013 at 8:28pm: When I connect with a book on an emotional level, that's when I know that it's good. When I have to close it up just so that I can contemplate the characters thoughts and ideas and how they relate to mine, that's when you know it's more than good. The Unfinished Life of Elizabeth D. is more than good! Read my full review here:

Comment by Frugal Plus Jill on March 12, 2013 at 1:16pm: For as long as Halley Steen has known her husband Nathan, he has carried a handful of stones in his pocket. Each day he uses those stones to remind him to follow the Golden Rule, moving a stone from one pocket to the other with each act of kindness. So it's not unusual that Nathan stops to help a stranger on the side of the highway while on his way to his son's football game one Friday evening. But that one act will change all of their lives forever, when a car hydroplanes off the road, killing Nathan instantly.
