The Fabric Over The Moon: 28 short stories from unlikely heroes

Author: Ferran Plana
Publication date: 2nd October 2021
Pages: 158
Word counts: 40000
Target: adult/NA
Mild explicit content

Book blurb:
Stories come alive at night.

They are whispered around dying campfires, by quiet bedsides, under deformed old trees.

They might get interrupted by the howling wind, inaudible gasps, or nervous comments, only to be continued fervently once the dust settles again.

Why did the girl visit the eerie village? What did the gypsy’s words mean? Can the discovery of a new flower change the world?

Stories are supposed to end but they never do.

They leave you wondering and longing for more. They live on in your mind, in corners with cobwebs and memories you’ve been suppressing, in recurring daydreams you have while waiting in long lines. They fester and thrive there. They spiral and soar. You wish they would die but they cannot anymore.

Once you blow breath into a story, it instantly becomes yours...

Thank you Bridget!

Dear Bridget,
I am the author of Prayed Upon: Breaking Free from Therapist Abuse. Here is a blurb: Prayed Upon is the story of one woman’s escape from the abuse of a respected, church-going psychiatrist. Amy reaches out to Dr. Dolion for help with depression, but instead of providing healing, he leads her down a path of deception and betrayal. His office, which initially feels like a sanctuary, becomes a psychological prison, one from which Amy will have to fight to free herself.

Prayed Upon, a true story depicts Amy’s journey from victim to thriving child of God. Her brutal honesty provides an inside look at the warped beliefs that early abuse instills, beliefs that make adult victims vulnerable to sexual predators. Her story shines a light on the under-reported sexual abuse of adults and ultimately the way victims can gain freedom from the bondage of shame that abuse leaves behind.

I would be happy to send you a digital copy to read and possibly review! Thank you! Amy :)

Hi Bridgett, I would love for you to read and review my new book, A New Day Dawns. This is my second travel book sharing my experiences in West Africa, most of the time way off the travel gird! My book shares culture customs history and best of all, it is so much fun!

Dear bridget, my book Tales of Modern madness and other books on my amazon page will be free for the next few days on kindle. Here is a link to my author page to see the books:

Here is a Kirkus review to Tales of Modern Madness. Review any of my books!

https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-re...

"Everyday people endure discrimination, hypocrisy, and occasional bouts of psychosis in Bacopa’s (Eating Ice Cream in Armageddon, 2017) short story collection.

In “A Day with the Professor,” an apparent substitute teacher walks into a philosophy class at Yale University. In response to his seemingly deranged ramblings (“The Mush has a ghost, even though the ghost is dead”), the students employ their knowledge of philosophy to explain what the man is presumably teaching them. They’re not the only characters in this collection to face seemingly insane behavior from others. For example, British anthropologists visit a village in “The Drummers,” in which the residents’ endless drumming takes precedence over caring for sickly villagers—or mourning their inevitable deaths. In the darkly humorous “Letters from the Fourth Reich,” an author (also named Gabriel Bacopa) corresponds via email in Los Angeles with a woman, Labeeba, in Germany. He laments the escalating discrimination against people of color in the United States (stoked by its leader, Ronald Pump). However, his statements later become confusing, as he claims that he escaped from prison after being there a year, and Labeeba responds that he was only there for 45 minutes. In other tales, characters experience possibly psychotic episodes. John, a forensic pathologist in “Introspection,” believes that a body on a slab is identical to his, and he’s soon convinced the corpse is him. In the concluding story, “Fainting Girls,” John (apparently a different person) is so “devastatingly handsome” that women pass out in his mere presence. A doctor tries to decipher what’s triggering these reactions, considering the possibility of psycho-emotional conflicts or something paranormal. Bacopa’s straightforward prose, which includes bare-bones descriptions, perfectly suits these seven stories, as most events are transparently metaphorical. Readers may even interpret them as allegories. John of “Introspection,” for example, is quite understandably comfortable with the notion of death and only reflects upon it—and fears it—when it’s literally staring him in the face. One of the strongest stories here is “The Hypocrisy Foundation,” in which Dr. Harris, a sociologist, develops a scale to measure people’s “fakeness,” which he later upgrades to “hypocrisy.” He essentially determines that the richer a person is, the more hypocritical they are; however, a subsequent push for an egalitarian society may, in fact, be the work of wealthy hypocrites. Bacopa deftly examines class discrimination in various tales, most frequently portraying rich people taking advantage of those in poverty. In “StarInsured,” for instance, the titular insurance company rakes in profits from a prediction of a meteor wiping out civilization. An alien, who knows full well that there is no such meteor, arrives on Earth in human form to try to persuade people of the truth—but persistent fear keeps citizens paying the annual premium and making the company richer. Sometimes odd phrasing detracts from otherwise enjoyable stories, though, as in this passage from “The Hypocrisy Foundation”: “The musician signaled for the camera to take its gaze off him and mute for a moment.”

Bizarre but often compelling tales with discernible morals."

Tales of Modern Madness


-Gabriel Bacopa

Hi Bridget,
I've just released as steamy short romance novel on KU. If you're interested, I can send you a copy.
Fake Hearts and Kisses: A Fake Boyfriend Romance
Thanks!

Does anybody want to read my book, and I will read your book? For free and just to give some feedback, doesn't have to be a review to post.
I have several in different genres, mostly YA though.

Hi Bridget, I've just released a new YA dystopian crime thriller book called Ruffian. This is the synopsis:
Astra Hal is a Ruffian, a member of a secret organization created by the artificial intelligence Sigma, designed to be humanity’s last hope in case all else fails.
Hendric Sanjor is the son of a representative in the United Republic of Global Welfare, the ruling body of the world.
When a virus of unknown origins starts spreading across the planet and Hendric’s family is accused of starting it to gain political advantage, Astra is sent to investigate the issue. When it becomes clear that the accusation is false, the two form an uneasy alliance to hunt down the real perpetrator behind the pandemic. But the puzzles, criminals, and politics they weave through can in no way prepare them for the dark secrets they are about to uncover.

Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi Bridget, Do you beta M/M 59K contemporary fiction/ self-discovery/ YA stories?

With flavors of the Old South, Remember Me is set in Ashville, NC. It is about an orphan who grows up in a very un-gay, un-big-urban setting. He has difficulties and challenges as he matures and learns more about himself through his relationships with others. In his struggle, he finds an unexpected, brilliant romance.
Let me know if you are interested. Thanks!

If you'd be willing, we would love for you to take a look at Mirrorfall (Book #1 of Ash & Blue ). I've included details below, including a synopsis, but I'd invite you to take a look at our Reviewer Page (https://ashandblue.com/welcome-reviewers), which gives a little more detail on the series, and highlights some of the key themes (including mental health and queer representation), along with linking to other media (like series art) and our podcast adaptation.

By default, we supply Kindle/mobi as well as ePub copies of Mirrorfall, but if you need another format (such as PDF), we're happy to oblige.

Without further ado, here are the details.

 

Title: Mirrorfall

Series: Ash & Blue

Genre/s: Urban fantasy, contemporary fantasy, new adult

Synopsis/Blurb: 

Stef Mimosa doesn't remember dying as a child, it's always just been a strange dream of drowning and darkness. What she does remember is the angel who saved her.

Agent Ryan never thought Stef would remember him. Agents are designed to fade into the background, to do their duty and move on without making too many ripples.

Stef's a messy little ripple he never expected. A recruit who can't keep her shoes clean for half an hour, but attentive to every detail and fact about magic that he can impart.

In a world where magic and tech play in harmony, an angel and a loner might be the family each other needed.

Review Required By: There's no required date for this one, as it's already been released. If you enjoy Mirrorfall, we'll be more than happy to send along Book #2 (Mirrorheart), which was released earlier this year, and Book #3 (Mirrorshades) on publication, as it is currently being serialised. 

If you've got any questions, please feel free to PM me.

Hi Bridget!
I'm a first time author who has published a romance novel on Amazon this week. It's free if you're on Kindle Unlimited (eBook and paperback versions are available as well). I've attached a blurb of my book below:

Aliya Mirza and Jai Singh were destined as neighbors.
They weren't supposed to become friends.
They certainly weren't allowed to fall in love.

Because once they do, they find themselves embroiled in a tangled web of deceit and betrayal amidst a tumultuous nationwide divide.

Memories blur. Words lose their meaning. Love no longer has a place to stay.

Surviving is the only option. Tormenting the other to death is a decision they make.

After all, with differences this turbulent and hurdles so many, their story is doomed to end in a way they would've never wished for.

An end they inevitably saw coming.

.........................................................
Let me know if this interests you.
I'd love to hear your views on it. :)

Good day, Bridget!

My name is Igor Shnayder and I am delighted to present to you my first book Mur, the Kitty-Knight Adventures in the Fairy-Tale Animal World, a compilation of short stories with illustrations. It's a children's book about a kitten-knight named Mur who grows up and learns about kindness, courage, wisdom, friendship, empathy, as well as how to protect and assist those who are weaker.

I handled the book's design myself, so the quality might not match the lofty standards of professional printing houses. Nonetheless, I hope the book can gift children and parents alike with delightful emotions from reading the short stories and viewing the illustrations. And to convey the kind messages that underpin these narratives.

I would greatly appreciate your thoughts and reviews.

Thank you for your attention!

Hi!
I'm looking for some ARC readers for my dark mafia romance, Idle Hands and the Devil's Dominion! I have been getting some great feedback, and would love for you to be part of the team!

If you're interested, all you have to do is go to my BookSprout and claim a copy!: https://booksprout.co/reviewer/review...

OR you can fill out my Google form if you would rather that, and I will send it over myself (it just might take a bit longer): https://forms.gle/u9SCYuNDFPUgPDmh7ht...

Here's the blurb!

Cas: She killed my brother. At least, that is what I have believed for the months I followed her, learning her habits, likes, and dislikes. The moment I’m about to pull the trigger is not the time to second-guess myself. In my line of work, I don’t have the luxury to wonder about guilt or innocence. The fact is, I’ve been paid to do a job. Mercenaries don’t get to pick and choose who they put down. I’m one of the best, and my reputation is on the line. She may or may not have killed my brother, but she’s certainly not innocent, with the things she’s done.
There’s just one problem… she’s so different behind the scenes than the person she plays in public. I’m curious about a target for the first time. As much as I hate everything she stands for, I hate the idea of letting her go without getting what I want from her even more.
Mara: Rich, powerful, beautiful – part of the elite. Everyone thinks I love this life - the role I’m forced to play. But they’re wrong. I don’t want much – freedom? A sense of purpose? I’m not even sure I know. But I’m certain of one thing: I’m tired of playing this role. I’m tired of this game.
Unfortunately, the game doesn’t want to let me go. There’s a lot of danger out there, and I’m in no position to refuse protection. I’m forced to comply with a hulking, cranky stranger. I suppose when he isn’t being so hateful, it isn’t the worst way to spend my time. I can’t pretend he isn’t gorgeous, or that I don’t find some strange thrill in his acrimonious demeanor. But there’s so much more that I want, as well. I want to break out of this life. I want to save myself and be free.

Would a thriller/horror novel interest you?

Here's a little about my book, Stay Away:
Twenty-five years ago, Kevin’s parents were brutally murdered. Two decades later, Kevin is forced to watch helplessly as his fiancée suffers torture at the hands of the same murderer.

Never fully recovering from the trauma, he moves to a new city, hoping to start his life anew, leaving his devastating past behind. But things don’t go as planned when he meets Natasha—the daughter of an officer hunting for his kind.

They soon discover the battered corpse of a missing detective assigned to investigate the murder of his fiancée, which signals a new danger. However, when the horror from his past returns, Kevin is forced to stay away from Natasha—or watch her fall victim to a ghoul who takes pleasure in tormenting him.
