Hi Brady,

Might be interested in reading and reviewing my book The Ghost Moth? It has multiple 5 star reviews from reviewers such as Readers Favorite, Luminosity Media Group, etc., has a 4.12 average on Goodreads, and was a Book Excellence Award Finalist. It also has a degree of mystery and an unromantic romance!

The blurb:-
The Ghost Moth; a tragic tale of the Spirit versus the Flesh.

So was it Eve who tempted Adam, or Adam who was tempted by Eve? A story of a doomed love affair.

Is it possible that a five hundred year old story of a young monk and his lover could impact on a family in the present day? As Joe reads an old folk tale and is drawn into a world of religious fanatics, witches, angels and she-devils, this unlikely possibility gradually becomes increasingly probable.

A story about the desires of the sexes and the doctrines of religion, with hints at the supernatural and beautiful and atmospheric imagery, this controversial, adult, speculative, spiritual and philosophical tale will intrigue, entertain and keep you guessing in equal measure up until the last page.

(Warning to sensitive readers; the story is an adult one and so deals with adult themes. It contains what some might find to be controversial views on both religion and sex, as well as mild sex scenes.)

Kind regards,

Hi Brandy,

My debut horror novel released back in May, and I'm still looking to add some more reviews to it!

It's about a widower traveling across Michigan during the last week of the world to bury the ashes of his late wife in her home town of Escanaba.

Here's the blurb from Amazon:

In bright, bold, red letters the words "TOTAL CONVERGENCE" flash on Jay's TV reminding him that the end of the world is only a week away.

Seven years ago, The Anomaly appeared high in the sky and marked the beginning of the world's end. The great black diamond continues to tear the earth asunder and twist the very fabric of reality as it devours what remains. With only a week remaining before the end of the world, Jay must travel from Detroit to Michigan's Upper Peninsula to fulfill the promise he made to his late wife: to bury her ashes in her childhood home of Escanaba. Using his ability to manifest and control fire and flame, he will face monstrous demons wrought by The Anomaly as well as the ones that lurk within his mind.

Convergence tells an exciting, action-filled tale of survival in a dangerous and horror-infested world. Jay's journey across Michigan is one full of struggle, learning, and comradery that all culminates in him discovering what it truly means to mourn and find closure within himself.

If you're interested please just shoot me a message or add me as a friend and we can talk some more!

I can provide an ebook or physical copy.

Thank you,
-Jesse

Hi,

I’m looking for reviews for my latest book, “Yuri & the Pig” (87,000 words published by Wild Wolf Publishing), a work of fiction based on the current war in Ukraine. However, the countries involved are fictitious, too.

Amazon link: https://mybook.to/ynp

The following is the blurb:

“From the best-selling author of the Charlie Smithers adventures.

A farmer and his pig set off on an extraordinary quest across war-torn Eastern Europe.

Entangled in a savage war, the country of Xoraina is fighting for its very existence; but to Yuri, a simple peasant from a remote mountain village, it seems all but certain that the invading Zlaimperians must ultimately prevail. Not that it is of any consequence to him, of course. In Yuri’s view, every form of government is equally bad, so it makes very little difference who holds the reins of power. Indeed, throughout time, the only things that have ever really mattered are that the soil be tilled, the cows milked, and the pigs shipped to market, all in a timely fashion.

But when an exorbitant new tax threatens that philosophy, he sets off with his pig across the war-ravaged land to the Capital in order to fight the injustice. In the process, their journey becomes a road to a terrible enlightenment, causing Yuri to question his deeply seated beliefs. But only when he and his pig find themselves placed squarely in destiny’s path is there any hope of those questions finding answers.”

If interested, please contact me at clovatt@xplornet.ca and I’ll arrange for you to receive an e-copy in the format you prefer.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Brandy,

My first book, a travel memoir, is releasing in a week, and I'd love a review. These are honest and humorous travel essays through which I have understood what those journeys meant to me.

Here's the book blurb:
At 29, Priyanka Gupta is heartbroken, jobless, and to her parents’ agony, unmarried. That she is a computer engineer from IIT Delhi, India’s best university, or earned in seven figures doesn’t matter.
To begin afresh, Priyanka travels to Southeast Asia and South America. With nothing to lose, she goes alone, on a one-way ticket, her chest exploding with the question “Could I do it?” What follows is a year-long exhilarating, maddening, and breathtaking trip.
Priyanka returns to India hungrier for adventure. She picks up pen and paper and quits corporate life to pursue a career of passion. She also has her bag packed and feet itching to move – all the while being told to behave like a girl.
Journeys Beyond and Within… is a travel memoir of a small-city girl who never dreamt of travelling. Witty, introspective, and embarrassingly honest, the book will entertain you and inspire you to travel, to rediscover home, and to leap over the boundaries. How far would you go?
***
Do let me know – would be happy to send you a pdf or epub. You can either message me or write to me at hello@onmycanvas.com.

I’ll really appreciate it, and you’d be an immense help 😊
