Hi Lilli

So I don't know if my book is the sort of thing you are looking for, but I thought I would contact you anyway. My book, Little Words of Wisdom, is a cosy mystery with some light supernatural elements. If that sounds interesting to you please let me know and I would be more than happy to send you an eBook version, or alternatively it is available on Kindle Unlimited.

A Few Simple Words Can Change A Life Forever

For years, widower Steve Lander has attempted to cope with his profound grief by throwing himself into his unusual hobby, making fortune cookies and filling them with the ideas and advice that pop into his head. But when a detective from the Metropolitan police turns up at his door, demanding to know why his fortune cookies keep turning up at crime scenes, Steve is forced to re-evaluate everything he knows about life, death, love, and family.

Pulled from his quiet country life to the bustle and hubbub of London, Steve finds himself embroiled in a peculiar treasure hunt, one that will bring him into contact with friends old and new, put the lives of loved ones and strangers in his hands, and draw him ever closer to the unseen presence that guides his steps.

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you

I see by your Goodreads page that you are a cat lover. You really must check out my latest book, The Dreams of Gerontius.
Ever since Michael brought home a cat, whom he named Gerontius, he has been having very vivid dreams, and each dream has featured a cat, and each seems to be telling Michael something he needs to hear, if only he’ll listen. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1734433914
Thanks for your consideration.

Middle grade ( or middle school) realistic fiction.
It’s tough being the new kid in school, especially when you’re also the smallest and the smartest. The combination is like a sign on your back saying kick me. That’s why Milton Mickelsen escapes into the stories he writes about Ramblin Red, his hard riding, straight shooting cowboy hero. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1734433906
Thanks for your consideration.

From your descriptions, I thought you might be interested in The Water at the End of the World.
A realistic reimagining of an Andean folktale, the story follows a young woman’s journey through the Andes on her quest in search of the magical water that will cure the young heir to the throne of the Inca Empire. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0692853030
Thanks again for your consideration.

I have an urban fantasy that is in need of reviews. Available on kindle unlimited but I am also willing to send a copy in exchange for an honest review. Must be a fan of the genre.

It's about an earth witch who helps to solve a magical murder, and there's a little (very clean) romance in there as well :)
Luminous by Kate Sullivan

This book is in need of readers/reviewers and love.

PNR with a new take on gothic. It's not just a romance/sapphic book. It's a character driven thriller that also touches mental health, humanity and digs deep into each characters' pain. It's FREE on Kindle Unlimited and now available on paperback.

I included two quotes and an excerpt from the w/w relationship:

AMBER: ...Pain like this should never be appeased.
If touching her is a sin, I’ll kneel on rock salt every single day and scratch the wounds until they bleed, just to spend eternity soaring against her skin.

NATALIE: Caterpillars don’t have a single bone in their bodies, but I guess a new species evolved in me, capable of crawling fast and up against the deepest walls in my body. Squeezing their muscles inside me every single time her lips get in touch with my skin.

Excerpt:
AMBER: With a lack of direction, I step out of the bathroom and, with hunger, press her against the wall. There’s a strong smell of lavender in the air, which never soothes me when I’m with her.
“Don’t let go,” I tell her, not wanting her legs to part my waist. She looks at me, but I’m too intoxicated by the way she smells to be able to read what’s written in her eyes. I kiss her hard on the lips. She kisses me back, tightening her grip on me. It’s all the direction I need. I press my body against hers. My hands are on her waist, keeping her in place. She closes her eyes.
I nibble her chin and kiss the length of her neck. She tastes like vanilla, so I savor the sweetness of it. As I kiss my way down, I discover the freshness she brings to something so familiar to me but entirely new for her. I let my palate indulge with her rawness since I’m the first to kiss her like this. She wears her emotions raw over her skin, like open wounds, since hate and pain are all she knows. Rawness can be dangerous if it’s served cold. So I go slow, providing her with the time and heat she needs to figure out the way my mouth makes her feel. I want her to be comfortable, to help her process these new feelings coming at her at full blast. I wanna experience it all with her like it was my first time. What I’m feeling, having her like this, is also new to me. I guess that’s the difference between having sex and making love. One is served cold and feeds from our desires, while the other fuels with the oxygen it steals from us. It builds up our heat until it becomes an eternal flame. It burns.

****
This book has a w/w relationship. It's a hate to lovers arc, slow burn, Takes off on chapter 35/and doesn't slow down. There are 2 other love arcs. It's a Hope this helps!

Hi Kate - I'm searching for reviews as well for my book Close Your Eyes. Close Your Eyes

We could possibly do a book review trade?
I'm at christomasini@gmail.com if you're interested.
Best wishes!

Hi Lilli

My speculative fiction novel Vividwater might be one for you:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

It's a dystopian office thriller set in a future world that is running out of clean water, and where water is the new status and wealth.

Happy to send epubs, or paper copy.

Thanks Jacqueline

Hey Jacqueline,

Vividwater sounds super intriguing dystopian and an office thriller? I'm in

I just published a non-fiction guide for first-time dads — very different genre, but if you're open to a review swap, I’d love to exchange reads! I can send you a PDF or link, whatever works best.

Let me know if you're up for it happy to leave a thoughtful review in return

– Jacob

Dear Lili,
Hi! I'm contacting you to see if you would be interested in reading and reviewing a copy of my YA fantasy novel, Arising. It's character-driven and has a compelling message about today's society, even as it takes place in another world!
On Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3LKR7M5

A brief review follows:

In a peaceful treetop realm threatened by a powerful enemy, a daring young woman risks everything to save her people and unite divided clans. Laela, a spirited Treedle from the treetop realm of Aerizon, crosses forbidden borders into Mergonland enemy territory ruled by a brutal king.
There, she meets Prince Mateo, whose unexpected kindness sparks a powerful bond that defies generations of hatred.But unity comes at a cost. Captured, judged, and forced into palace servitude, Laela must draw on ancient prophecies, interplanetary allies, and her own rising spirit to become a leader of change.
Together with Mateo and a brave alliance of youth from both worlds, Laela fights to heal centuries of division and build a future rooted in justice and peace. Arising is an epic fantasy of resistance, renewal, and love that dares to ask: Can compassion rewrite destiny?
