She's frolicking in the woods somewhere and will return for tacos eventually.

Deep in the Hollow (A Chindi Novel, Book 1)

Blurb:

Let me share some wisdom with you. There is evil in this world we cannot see. Not because it is hidden from us, but because our minds refuse to accept its existence. Once we are able to get past what everyone says should not be, it becomes our responsibility to stop the evil we now see.

This insight wasn’t given to me until a year after I lost the most important person in my life: Bryce Rowan. Now, after another death at the same spot where he died—the overlook, where the mysterious lights dance amongst the trees—I begin to wonder if they were accidents after all. Lucky for me, I’m not the only curious one in town. Cooper, a ghost hunter (aka chaser), and his sister Jada have moved to town and are starting to ask questions.

The more we uncover about my town, its history, and some of its current residents - people I have known my whole life - the more I begin to think there are those who would rather keep the evil lurking around town a secret. Even if it means more will die.

 GUESS WHAT???

I have another awesome author to introduce you to, and she is also one of the ten behind the upcoming giveaway. You do NOT want to miss the giveaway, so keep checking this blog for more details. So, the author I want to introduce you to today has more than a dozen novels in various genres for you to peruse. You do NOT want to miss her best-selling Stolen Empire series.

Sherry D. Ficklin

Sherry is the author of over a dozen novels for teens and young adults including the best-selling Stolen Empire series. She can often be found browsing her local bookstore with a large white hot chocolate in one hand and a towering stack of books in the other. That is, unless she's on deadline at which time she, like the Loch Ness monster, is only seen in blurry photographs.

The book she is giving away for our Christmas in July promo is Kingdoms of Shadow and Dust. 

Blurb: As the king's only daughter, Ava was supposed to be many things; meek, submissive, and above all, silent. While she dreams of fighting alongside the armies of Ankara, she's forced to hide her identity behind a veil.

It seems her prayers are answered when fate intervenes, allowing Ava to sneak away and join the battle. Yet, the tides of war turn on her, leaving the young beauty defeated... her hopes shattered. Her only chance at salvation is Callen, a mysterious black wolf willing to risk everything by hiding her away among his kind.

But there are some dangers far more ominous than the snapping jaws of a wolf. Ripped away from the brave Turnskins, Ava is imprisoned by the beguiling Shadow King who fills her head with promises of peace and a haze of passion. Forced to choose between her family, the bond she shares with Callen, and the handsome king's striking proposal, Ava finds herself torn between duty and desire. 

When an unthinkable sacrifice is required to save all she holds dear, will Ava accept the crushing demands of taking the crown?  Or follow her heart to the forbidden touch she desperately craves?

 I have BIG NEWS!!!

A huge giveaway is coming your way soon with lots of free books and an Amazon gift card. Stick with me over the next few weeks and I will give you all the details. But first, I want to introduce you to one of the authors behind the giveaway. If you haven't read any of her books, you should give them a try. 

Meet Tamara Grantham...

 Tamara Grantham is the successful author of more than a dozen books. She’s won numerous awards, such as a first place Rone award, and first place in Foreword Review’s Book of the Year awards. Many of her books are #1 bestsellers on both Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and they have obtained more than three-hundred five-star reviews. She has a BA in English, and she’s been a featured speaker at numerous writing conferences and comic cons.

Born and raised in Texas, Tamara now lives with her husband and five children in Wichita, Kansas. She rarely has any free time, but when the stars align and she gets a moment to relax, she enjoys reading fantasy novels and watching every Star Wars or Star Trek movie ever made.

Personally, I really like her imaginative fairy tale retellings starting with The Witch's Tower (which is free right now, by the way). 

Blurb: 

Gothel is a witch. Punished for the actions of her mother, her choice is simple: either she stands guard over Princess Rapunzel—or she dies. But just because a choice is easy doesn’t mean it’s pleasant. Protecting Rapunzel means watching as the princess lays trapped in a tower, bedridden by hair that is so long and heavy it’s slowly driving her insane. Gothel’s life has become one of imprisonment and solitude as well—until a prince and his handsome squire appear at the tower.

Only one object can cut Rapunzel’s hair and end the curse: a pair of magical shears. But the shears are guarded by the most terrifying witches in the land, who also happen to be Gothel’s aunts. As Gothel and the prince’s squire, Raj Talmund, work to form a plan, she finds herself more and more drawn to the mysterious young man from the Outerlands. Unfortunately, his destiny is far more dangerous than she wants to admit: to save a princess, he must kill the witch who's been forced to guard her.

Grab your free copy here at Amazon.

As part of the giveaway, Tamara will be giving a digital copy of her book The 7^th Lie to our lucky winner.

Blurb: 

Agent Sabine Harper is thrilled to receive her first mission—until she learns what it is. Turns out, all she has to do is save the world from certain destruction. And she has two weeks to do it.

Sabine survives her grueling training by the Vortech Agency, but for her first mission, she must protect the world from a devastating solar flare by finding seven energy stones called cerecite. If she refuses, they’ll terminate her father’s life-sustaining cancer treatments.

Sabine is transported to an isolated, advanced civilization hidden beneath a dome in the Bering Sea. While she searches for the cerecite, she assumes the identity of the invalid prince’s caretaker. In time, she finds herself attracted to the prince. But she is perplexed by this strange island’s many mysteries. The air smells mechanical. Every blade of grass is identical. And the island’s dimensions are bigger than they should be. Sabine realizes what Vortech told her may not be true. She may not even know where she really is…

Sabine soon realizes that someone doesn’t want her to leave—and it’s possible they know her true identity. Unless she finds a way home with the cerecite, her father will perish, the world will die—and she’ll die with it.

With her job on the line, will she also be willing to risk her heart?

Excerpt:

The door shut before she could get her bearings, and the elevator began to descend. That was when she noticed the other occupant, the last person she wanted to be trapped in an elevator with: Griffin’s son.

Skylar gave her the expected customary nod to acknowledge her existence.

Pursing her lips together, she returned the gesture. She didn’t see any reason to pretend they liked each other. Three years ago when she’d joined the firm he had almost destroyed her career within a week. Stubborn and bad-tempered, Skylar had treated her like his personal gopher rather than a colleague with a law degree. Things only got worse when his father put them on the same trial. She’d been second chair, of course, but Skylar wouldn’t listen to a word she said. Every time she opened her mouth he cut her off. Then while she was considering going to his father about the situation, Skylar complained to the man about her. He had almost gotten her fired. She’d been pulled off the trial and put on a case that a monkey could have won.

Since then she’d avoided him like her life depended on it.

She had a second reason to steer clear of him as well, an embarrassing reason. She hated to admit it even to herself, but Skylar Griffin oozed sex appeal. Her skin heated and her lower region pulsated every time she looked at him. Stylishly cropped hair the color of warm sand and eyes crystal blue like the Caribbean Sea reminded her of a much-needed tropical vacation. He worked as hard as she did and always seemed to be in his office. Yet, the deceitful golden brown skin would convince anyone he spent his days on the beach instead of sitting behind a desk. Not to mention, he had a surfer’s body with lean muscle and natural agility.
