Title: The Dimension Thieves Episode #1
Author: Misty Provencher
Genre: Young Adult Sci-Fi
Buy Links: Amazon ~ B&N ~ iBooks ~ Kobo
Blurb:
Nominated for Serial Series of the Year at UtopYA Conference, 2015.
EPISODE 1 in The Dimension Series. Clean action/adventure read, suitable for ages 13 and up.
The Dimension Series is a series of serial shorts, releasing once a
month from January to December 2015. It is a clean, New Adult series
also suitable for some Young Adult readers, due to mild language, mild
violence. However, readers who do not enjoy exciting cliffhangers, or
look forward to the mouth-watering anticipation of month-to-month
episodes should be warned...if you lay eyes on this story...THERE IS NO
GOING BACK.
Antythera is the new Earth.
Why?
Because that’s what President Baro, ruler of the planet, wants to call it.
And if you don’t agree, the President will have you Droned.
The world has become a much smaller place since the lower and middle
classes have been converted to mindless servants. Free will, granted
only to the elite, is in jeopardy of complete extinction.
But Force Steele, son to one of the President’s highest ranking
advisors, can’t live under the thumb of his controlling father, or the
President, any longer. Force has dedicated himself to eradicating
Droning, but when the President orders the Antidote Gear destroyed—the
part of the machine that could free the drones by reversing the program
that controls them—all is lost. Lacking necessary materials, there is
literally no way in Force’s world to replace the one-of-a-kind gear.
Force’s only choice is to partner with shifty mechanic, Calerbius
Brown, and embark on a risky mission that will take Force and his
rag-tag crew across the lateral dimensions, where they must often steal
materials—even from themselves—in order to fix their own dwindling
world.
Title: Haunted
Author: Willow Cross
Genre: Supernatural Ghosts & Hauntings
Buy Links: Amazon
Blurb:
Have you ever heard something go bump in the night and wondered if
someone was there? Only to go looking for the cause of the noise and
find nothing at all. Or how about unexplainably feeling like you’re
being watched when you’re completely alone? Things disappearing for no
reason or strange ghostly footsteps in the hall?
This book is a collage of short stories about a few of the
otherworldly experiences I’ve had. Although they are not movie worthy,
you may find them interesting. All the stories are %100 true. Nothing
has been added for dramatic effect.
Title: Ta Ta for Now (Stories About Melissa Book 1)
Author: Bethany Lopez
Genre: Young Adult Contemporary Romance
Buy Links: Amazon
Blurb:

Jackson to be her boyfriend. She will soon learn that things don't

friendship, and the importance of family.
The Stories about Melissa series is a coming of age series that
follows Melissa, her family, and her friends. Similar to Sweet Valley
High, each book is novella length. There will be eight books in the
series.

Book 6 ~ Coming Soon!
Title: Patriotic Duty (Duty and Desire Book 1)
Author: C. J. Pinard
Genre: New Adult Contemporary Military Romance
Buy Links: Amazon U. S. ~ Amazon U. K. ~ iBooks ~ B&N ~ Google Play Books
Blurb:
Newly divorced party girl Cara Reid just wants to have fun. Much too
young to even be a divorcee, she and her bestie, Miranda, set off to
have fun and maybe a few casual hookups and live life. One night at a
military bar, Cara meets Riley Forrester, a hot Army soldier who makes
her melt with one look of his deep ocean blue eyes. But Riley is only
staying the summer in California and then has to go back to Colorado
when it's over. Cara tells herself he’s just a summer fling and is
determined to enjoy herself and let him go once the summer is over. But
when Riley receives orders he wasn’t expecting, she’s forced to make a
decision on whether she’s going to be there for him when he gets back,
or move on with her life. What she wasn't expecting was to fall so hard
for the beautiful soldier boy, and now she's faced with accepting her
feelings or letting him go.
Contains adult content. For readers 18 and up.
Patriotic Duty is book 1 in the Duty & Desire series, and while it's recommended to read them in order, it's not necessary.
Title: The Conduit (The Gryphon Series Book 1)
Author: Stacey Rourke
Genre: Sci-Fi and Fantasy
Buy Links: Amazon
Blurb:
All 18-year-old Celeste Garrett wants is to head off to college and make
those fun, yet ill-advised, choices college kids are known for. And
maybe to spend some time with the hot cameraman she just met. Instead,
because of a pact her ancestors made in the 17th century with a mythical
creature, she has to save the world.
While normal kids are slamming energy drinks and cramming for exams,
Celeste will get her adrenaline rush fighting a fire breathing dragon.
She wants to meet friends in the quad to exchange lecture notes, but
first she must exchange blows with a shapeshifting demon on the rooftop.
Life isn’t always fair for a superhero, but at least she doesn’t have
to do it alone. With her brother and sister as sidekicks, they
alternate between saving lives and getting on each others’ nerves.
Together the trio encounters unspeakable odds, mystical forces and comes
face-to-face with an image that will haunt them forever—their
grandmother in a leopard print bikini.
Title: Prophecy: An Isle of Myst Novella
Author: Stacie Wilson
Genre: Young Adult Paranormal
Buy Links: Amazon
Blurb:
Discovering their young daughter, Brianna, is now at the center of an
ancient war between Light and Dark and hunted by the evil Shadow Master,
the King and Queen of Myst are forced to make an unthinkable sacrifice
to not only save their child but their magical realm.
Prophecy, the first novella in the Isle of Myst series, tells the
story of the tragic events that set Brianna’s destiny to try and save
two worlds in motion, and forge an unbreakable bond between young
hearts.
Did you snag any of them? Which ones?
Well, that's all for today, folks! Until next time, WRITE ON!

World of Ink - Radio Show Sponsorship
Happy Monday, everyone! Sorry you aren't getting an author interview today; I had some things fall through. Fingers crossed it'll be here tomorrow! So, for today, I'm gonna talk about something I did last year that I had a blast with. I also got to meet a couple of really amazing ladies that I'll tell you about later in this post. Ready? Grab your pens and notebooks and let's get going!
That's from their website. You can find them here.
Now, on to my notes from my experience with their radio segment. You can go listen to past interviews and stuff here, and you can check out my interview here.
I saw where one of the hosts posted on Facebook to indicate they were looking for author sponsorships for their WOI radio show. Since I've been a guest with Sandi Tuttle a couple of times, I was familiar with how it worked, and I asked for more information on WOI's sponsorship levels/costs. Their response time was wicked fast, and I was never left out of the loop on anything that was going on.
I was thrilled when I received their package. It wasn't super expensive, and they guaranteed to run my book covers and information about my blog for the whole month of October. Plus, I was getting to spend time talking with women who are successful and strong in their own right.
Everything was well coordinated, and my phone rang right when it was supposed to on the day of the interview.
What took place after that ring was nothing short of awesome. We chatted about books, editors, utopYA Con, writing, strong women in fiction novels, and so much more.
Who did I get to talk with?
Marsha Casper Cook and Willow Cross. Both are super fun to chat with, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Marsha was pleasant and easy to talk to, and Willow is a fellow writer who also features strong women in her novels. We had a lot in common.
It was awesome.
Now for other information (like sales during my sponsorship).
I sold 85 books that month, and had 582 downloads of my free books on Kindle.
So, yeah, I recouped my costs. Both monetarily and in new potential fans of my work.
I don't pay for blog tours, so this sponsorship was something I could really sink my teeth into.
As you all know, I don't get kickbacks for anything I recommend on the blog, and I only suggest things I've tried myself and had success with.
WOI is totally worth every penny I spent.
Now, I wanna hear from you! Have you ever sponsored a radio show? Ever done an interview? Gimmie your links!
Well, that's all for today, folks! Until next time, WRITE ON!
