Congratulations to Marissa Campbell! Your book has been tweeted, shared on Pinterest, added to my Goodreads TBR for the event, and shared on Facebook.

PITCH your book in the comments. Put your LINK in the Rafflecopter entry form. Tell me why you think I'll like it, why I should check it out, and a little about the story. DO NOT give me a synopsis. I can get that from Amazon. Make it personal or make it funny. I care not. I'll be grabbing a sample of every book pitched and go from there.

Please specify if you're entering as an author, a reader, or both. Author only entries will be removed before a winner is chosen.

IF you have a pre-order, please upload a SAMPLE to Google Drive and give people with the link permission to view. Put that link in the Rafflecopter form.

I strongly encourage you to check out the works of your fellow Indie authors. Chat in the comments, talk each other up, make friends!

Book reviewers! You're welcome to play along, too! Meet and greet authors. Get new books to read and review. It only works if we all work together.

**Kindly remember, there's no guarantee your book will be reviewed by me. You will get a purchase if your sample interests me, and I'll try my best to read it. But if I find I can't give it more than 2 stars, I won't write the review. I've had a few I couldn't finish and it led to me not giving a review.**

Now it's time to announce the winners from Friday's giveaway!

  2. Hi Jo. Today, I will pitch The Archer: Arrow’s Flight 2

     

    Book 2 is a journey—a bridge between Kate’s primitive village and Ian’s world. Due to a horrifying accident that forces her to leave her village, Kate, along with her friend Diana, find themselves at the disposal of Ian and his friends—the boys of Eden. Kate has no idea if life outside the Village even exists, but Ian promises her she will have a future in Eden if she will trust him. The journey is harsh, full of relentless rainstorms, illness, clandestine troublemakers . . . and death, and Kate begins to doubt her choice in leaving the village. When Diana’s daughter, Tabitha, is struck with a sickness that forces Ian to leave them behind and go for help, Kate’s hopelessness soars. But quiet and confident Justin takes the reins in Ian’s absence, moving in to watch over Kate. Only then do secrets surface, leaving Kate in a miserable state of shock. Still, Justin makes her feel safe—even moreso than Ian did.

     

    Meanwhile, inside the modernized walls of Eden, Ian must face horrific truths about his village and the lies he’s been fed his entire life. Lies that could change things forever, including whether Kate will ever trust him again.

     

    The Archer is the beginning of the end of Kate’s enslavement to Fate and to her society and its morays. Every step away from the Village is one step closer to Truth.

    1. Hiya, Casey! Welcome back! This sounds like an awesome part two. It's like the incredible journey of the girl who could. :) I can't wait to dive in! Thank you for the pitch, and good luck! :)

  3. Hi Jo, today I'm going to do a cheeky wee re-pitch of The Gisburn Witch. My debut novel has it all - forbidden love, loss, tragedy and betrayal, complete with wonderfully flawed characters and the enticing backdrop of one of the most notorious witch hunts in English History.

    And as if that wasn't enough...I'm currently at 99 sales. So, as well as getting to read my fabulous novel, you could also be my 100th sale! I like round numbers, so this would make me happy :-)

  7. Hey Jo,

    Get ready for a different kind of Grinch. Heuer the lawyer is out of control, operating without filters in a gonzo world that allows characters to say, do and get away with things we cannot do ourselves in a civilized society. He is also dead, decomposing and trapped in the ether. Can Enid, his boozy mortician, help him get to the other side, or will his foul-mouthed spirit guide leave him to rot on earth?

    Why should you read this? It's gonzo, fast, and loose. Without rules of civility, chaos ensues. People die.
