Heather Lawson (teevee) Hello!

My name is Heather and I recently started a new section on my blog to review a book every Sunday. I've been neglecting my blog lately and I thought this would be the perfect way to get into a routine of posting regularly. I posted my first review last week and I'm working on my next review now, however I have nothing to review in the coming weeks.

If you would like me to review your book then feel free to leave me a link. I will read anything but erotica, and it can any length.

I'll post the review on my blog, here on Goodreads, and anywhere else you would like.

I look forward to reading your books :)

Amanda M. Lyons (amandamlyons) Hello Heather,

I'm the author of the Gothic Horror novel Eyes Like Blue Fire Eyes Like Blue Fire by Amanda M. Lyons and I would be interested in having you review it if you're interested. If you'll PM me an email address I can offer you a mobi or PDF copy for review. Thanks for this great offer!

S.R. Mallery | 11 comments Dear Heather,
I dont know if you are interested in my book Unexpected Gifts or not. It's a combo of a modern day story intermingled with a LOT of 20th century United States history. Very different than Scotland's I'm sure....
Anyway, here's the Amazon link:

Much thanks for doing this! S. R. Mallery

Scott Bury (scottbury) | 38 comments I knew I should have responded this morning! Work gets in the way, though.

If you still have room in your schedule, my book is a historical fantasy with a difference. It's called The Bones of the Earth, http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...

I'll send you an email, as well.

I would love for you to review my upcoming book. It is planned for release September 29, and I am looking for reviews, guest blog posts, etc. during the month of October. Would that be too far away for you to consider?

message 15: by Clare (new)

Clare Dargin | 3 comments Hi heather,

I know you stated that you dont read erotica. But will you read erotic romance?

Here is a blurb..

Left in cryogenic stasis for nearly a century, Caitlin Driskoll is awakened and drafted into a war she knows nothing about. Expected to defend a world where her kind is despised and expendable, she discovers love and respect from the one man who can’t be associated with her.

Lieutenant Colonel Medoro Keegan has spent a lifetime in the Marines. With no family to speak of, the Corps and his ship, the USS Blanchard, are all the loved ones he needs…until Caitlin sparks a fire within, that threatens to consume him if he doesn’t walk away.

Will he choose a life of certainty in the only world he knows or give it all to Caitlin and run the risk of losing someone, yet again?

Lemme know if you are interested. Thanks!

Lance Erlick (lanceerlick) | 6 comments Hi, Heather,

Wondering if you would have any interest in young adult science fiction (light on the science)?

The Rebel Within in Kindle is free today (June 16) and again on June 19-20 (2013), so you could download a copy for free. Thanks. Lance Erlick

The Rebel Within by Lance Erlick

Kirkus Reviews referred to The Rebel Within as “A stimulating, worthwhile story of a dystopian future.”

After the Second American Civil War, the Federal Union pursues a world without men by rounding up the remaining males.

Annabelle is a tomboy who lost her parents at age three. Despite her rebellious acts against a conformist society, the state pushes her to become a cop intern at age 16 to catch escaped boys. Then she’s forced to choose between joining the elite military unit that took her parents or being torn from her beloved sister and adoptive mom. Meanwhile, she meets a handsome boy who escaped prison, and helps him get away.

While facing a cop intern boss who hates her, a military commander who demands too much, and an amazon bully who won’t leave her alone, Annabelle struggles with conscience. Will she risk everything by hunting for her imprisoned birth mother and helping escaped boys avoid the federal roundup? Can she stand up to the amazon? Will she survive the rigorous military qualifying program so she won’t be sent away, while remaining true to herself and protecting her family?

Will she cross paths with that handsome boy again?

Clay Held | 7 comments Hi Heather! Thanks for the open call for books to review. It's always nice to find people who are hungry to read!

I'm currently offering two of my ebooks for free on Amazon right now, thought June 23rd. Even if you don't have time to review them, feel free to enjoy a copy anyway with my compliments.

Or, if you prefer a .epub file (as opposed to Kindle native) feel free to let me know and I can provide them via email.

Thanks again, and enjoy all the great fiction I'm sure you're going to receive!

Hi Heather,


I've recently written a YA book called "Caught in a Moment" which I would say is intended for the older end of that range and should be enjoyable by adults too. If you're still looking for new things to read I'd be glad if you'd have a look at it for me and see what you think. Here's an outline of the story, which I think is a pretty original premise:


Whilst all the world stands still, Alex Trueman wanders alone in the silent streets of the city. All around are the motionless figures of his fellow citizens, solid as marble. Caught in a Moment (78,000 words) describes Alex’s adventures in the unique world of Intersticia. “He’s a Daydreamer,” states his school report and no one who knows Alex would disagree. But this mental state, this condition of temporary disassociation from reality is one that Alex has immersed himself in once too many times. He has daydreamed himself unwittingly into a world outside of ordinary time, that exists in the slender intervals between instants. From Alex’s point of view the world around has frozen into immobility. There are delightful possibilities in the hushed streets with their motionless cars and people, but as the hours pass exhilaration is succeeded by anxiety. And he is not alone. Alex soon discovers that he shares this world with others. There are a few dozen fellow dreamers who share his fate. There is plump, bespectacled Will, pretty brunette, Kelly and the lonely outcast Paulo. Presiding over them all is the enigmatic Ganymede, an irascible vagrant who distributes food to his dependents and sets them perverse tasks to perform in return. Alex soon finds that he has rare skills in Intersticia, skills that set him on a collision course with Ganymede in which the very existence of Intersticia is put at risk. Nor are all the inhabitants of Intersticia dreamers. Some of them are dead; spirits lingering on after the instant that was their last on earth. The terrifying Cactus Jack, Death’s delegate in Intersticia, stalks the streets in search of these loose ends. Alex is soon engaged in a desperate struggle to cheat Death of at least one of his victims.

I don't know if the brief synopsis appeals to you but if it does you can download the book for free at present from Smashwords.com. This is the first of a trilogy, incidentally. The second and third volumes are called "Worm Winds of Zanzibar" and "Angelic Upstart". "Worm winds" is already written and is out there too. "Angelic Upstart" is in the process of gestation (about 45,000 words in).

Here is a link to its Amazon page http://www.amazon.com/Caught-in-a-Mom...

And here it is in Goodreads http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...

I'd be very happy to send you a pdf too, if that's easier for you.

Many thanks

Martin

Donna (donnamgeorge) | 1 comments Hi Heather, I don't know if you review memoirs, but my book is Starfish: A Mother's Recovery From Addiction. It's about my 17 months in a hard-core, old-school drug rehab in 1980s California. If you're up for it, I could gift the kindle book to you, or send you a .mobi file or a review copy (or whatever works). Thanks.

I have a handful of fantasy/SF flavored fiction out there, most notably my coming of age fantasy novel *Tarnish* (I'd classify it as "mature YA" to adult). You can see it and any others on my GR author's page:
