At age 68, I recently retired and released my first novel, The Cinnabar Medallion. It is #7 on the Free Kindle Best Sellers in Women's Historical Fiction today. I would sincerely appreciate it if you read it you posted the review.

While searching for the elixir of life through ancient cities and eerie caves in Spain, a 1600s Gypsy witch and healer faces many challenges that still hunt us today. Created with a genre-blending style in mind, its tone intertwines from adventurous, suspenseful, and humorous to compassionate and romantic. It addresses social injustice and historical facts in a fantasy about a gypsy witch and healer who questions her attraction to two very different men and her female best friend.

Question: What would you do if you were in Heaven but found out you aren't dead?

This happens to my hero Bowen in "BREAKOUT OF HEAVEN"- a realistic fantasy (no vampires, aliens, or dragons) that could also fall under categories of science fiction, religion, philosophy, young adult, and humor. People have compared it to Wizard of Oz and What Dreams May Come. By people, I mean me.

I am looking for reviews for my novel, and I will provide free Kindle copies or PDF for anyone interested. I will reimburse anyone who buys the book with a Amazon gift code once they post a review.

Chantilly by Savior Sullivan

Dear fellow readers and thinkers,
I am Savior Sullivan, and it's my pleasure to introduce you to my novel 'Chantilly'. Inspired by the ingenious minds of Boris Vian and Kurt Vonnegut, this book is an invitation to a world where the surreal meets the meaningful.


About 'Chantilly':
'Chantilly' is more than a story; it's a reflection of life's absurdities and wonders. If you're drawn to the thoughtful whimsy of Vian and the sharp, satirical insights of Vonnegut, then 'Chantilly' may just be your next favorite read.


Why This Book?
This novel is for those who seek depth in the surreal, who appreciate a narrative that intertwines the comical with the profound. 'Chantilly' aims to entertain, but also to provoke thought and discussion.


A Reciprocal Offer:
In the spirit of understanding and mutual growth in our literary journeys, I propose an exchange. If you take the time to read and review 'Chantilly' on Goodreads and Amazon, I will be honored to read and review your published work. Let's nurture each other's creative expression.


Joining Hands:
If this literary exchange resonates with you, please reach out to me privately after your review. I am eager not only to hear your thoughts on 'Chantilly' but also to immerse myself in the worlds you have created.


Thank you for your time and thoughtfulness. I look forward to our shared journey through the realms of imagination and intellect.

With warm regards,

Savior Sullivan

Would appreciate your review/feedback greatly.

I would be honored if you would read and post a review for my new novel.

Katie is an incredibly strong individual who strives to keep her increasingly smaller family together through untold tragedies and losses. Heartrending and absorbing, reading more like a memoir than a novel. Intriguing descriptions … bring the time period to life. — The BookLife Prize.

An unforgettable coming-of-age saga inspired by true events. — California Writers Circle

In Golden Boxty in the Frypan, Pat Spencer captivates readers with a heartrending and absorbing coming-of-age saga inspired by true events. Her poignant story captures the hearts of readers as they follow Katie's journey through poverty, illness, and discrimination in Philadelphia to a glorious train trip out west in search of the American dream. But just as she thinks the worst is behind her, a twist of fate reverses her good fortune. Katie must wrestle with her fears, face her insecurities, and assume the role of mother for her three youngest brothers.

Golden Boxty in the Frypan is an unforgettable novel that brings to life the hardships and joys of a multigenerational Irish family struggling to stay together during the Great Depression. Fans of books like This Tender Land and Angela’s Ashes will appreciate the complex characters and themes of love, friendship, and family that make this book an emotional roller coaster. In the end, Katie must overcome the toughest of circumstances and orchestrate an escape from a sinister orphanage to secure a safe life for herself and her siblings. Don’t miss this powerful story of resilience and hope.

Hi Everyone, This is a new book I have read and it really has a true original story, if you're into YA fantasy with a female lead and hint of mystery try it out. Laura of Nix on Amazon by Valentina A Lamonaca. BTW Cool cover too Laura Of Nix

Hello everyone :o)

I am a new writer but an ambitious and hard working one.. have embarked on writing 11 volumes - Human Condition series. Volume one- Love, demystified- is now available on amazon. If you would like to read/review it, pls contact me via direct message or this email: info@makesenseofyourwolrd.com

Thank you very much for your time,

Dr Jasmine

Love Demystified by Dr Jasmine (who writes under a pseudonym) astounds readers as she sets out her intriguing beliefs around
the seamless continuity between sex, love, God and the energy pool of the universe, which she demonstrates with clarity and simplicity, using school level physics.

Using the rainbow as a metaphor, this unique book shares that the only way to foster a lifelong love relationship requires that romantic love should be tasted in all its multitude of colours and hues. Not only the red colour of passion and the yellow of joy, but also the greens of envy and jealousy, the blues of depression, and the purples of betrayal.

And if you are pulled apart between wanting to keep a stable family for your children, and craving the tearing excitement of sexual chemistry that you seem to have lost, read on! You will discover the ‘formula of passion’, and become irresistible to your lover, all over again.

Reviewers please if into SF that can be checked out at my website:
https://www.novacoma.au for their synopsis. This will lead whoever to the epub platforms for a greater in depth summation.
The original story began on Earth, then my brain kept on going but it had to end. So the second novel is set at a galactic level but not ours. Third I am currently tapping away at is inter galactic and the fourth will end it unless it doesn't finish me first ha ha.
If interested I shall deliver an epub file or PDF to your nominated email address. Then you have 100 days or more to rip into it. Shred it perhaps. It will get posted at the site. Become famous or even better infamous. Currently reading essays by Mr Oscar Wilde who certainly knows what's what and what's not.
I shall look in twice a week perhaps but once definitely.

Hello! My debut novel is now available on Amazon in ebook and paperback formats. It's an urban fantasy about witches and their struggle to gain freedom from government control. The Tame Ones is book 1 in a five-book series.
Book blurb below.


For millennia, magic was sleight-of-hand, imagination, or devil’s work.

Then it was documented, researched, categorized. Yet science still didn’t understand it—because only witches could use it.

And witches were feared.

—

Witch Agent Oliver has a secret, and the life he’s carved out for himself depends on keeping it.

With a scarring childhood behind, and an uncertain future ahead, Oliver focuses on the few things in his life that he can control. His goal? To end the criminal activities of Braden Kipling, the man that scarred Oliver in more ways than one.

When another witch—unregistered and out-of-control—forces him to use every magic at his disposal, his secret is exposed to the last two people he wants to know about it.

The one person he cares about most.

And a Wild witch he doesn’t know or trust.

On top of that, his magical awakening comes roaring from his past to ruin his chance at justice.

But worse, despite years of caution, he’s somehow drawn the attention of someone in the shadows of government and magic—who might just steal his future, too.

Tales of Habib the Hoaxter: Sometimes Hoaxed, Always Good for a Laugh
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CV9VZH1Z
Hello! Here is a collection of 30 witty stories about Habib, an Arab folk hero who has appeared under many names for hundreds of years. Each tale contains a twist, written to make you smile or laugh aloud with delight.

A light touch, a flexible mind, and a bit of a perverse sense of humor are your tickets into this exotic, timeless world. It's a world of fun for the moment and giving better than you got, not of heavy psychology and serious moralizing. In this world of marvels and belief in marvels, whether the little guy wins or loses depends on how well he uses his wits.

Sometimes cunning, sometimes credulous, Habib has a unique way of thinking that will enable you to see life in a new, wonder-filled way. Many of the stories convey moral lessons, while others offer pure amusement, bringing laughter either at Habib's cleverness or at his lack thereof.

Be prepared for an entrancing journey into "one day," an adventure that will transport you far from your everyday life and sensibility, returning you to them with refreshed eyes and a lighter step.

Hello!!!! I'm Hope Redgrave. Looking for Reviews for my Debut Novel, "Obsession".

Blurb:
What happens when Life and Death collide?

As the Embodiment of Life, Aveoth must preserve the living and continue his legacy. His existence is governed by these two purposes. But questions of morality began to creep into his mind and his once clear path becomes increasingly blurred. Everything he once knew changes when he finally meets her—Raizel, the Embodiment of Death.

Trained from childhood, Raizel moves through existence detached from most emotions and living in silent obedience. Love, hate, sorrow, despair and most other emotions are foreign to her. But someone breaks through her cold existence—a man who claims to love her. Yet his twisted devotion is marked by merciless and ritualistic murders.

The more Aveoth and Raizel work together to unveil the mystery, the more they are haunted by the corpses that are left behind. Each death began to pull them closer to the truth—and to each other. The killings are personal and the killer’s obsession with Raizel is unmistakable. Yet, beneath the surface of their search, something far darker prevails—a growing tension which suggests the killer may be closer than either of them realizes.

Is it affection or madness?

As the line between love and obsession blurs, Aveoth and Raizel begin to wonder: What if the killer isn’t an outsider, but someone close to them—much closer. And if that’s true, how long until their identity comes to light?

In a universe where Life and Death are bound by their own destiny, can they uncover the real murderer before the next victim falls? Or is the answer one neither of them is prepared to face?

It's available on KU!!!!
