The story is a YA dystopian actioner, which follows a 16-year old girl’s struggle for survival in the wake of civilization’s collapse, and humanity’s domination by an alien race of beings.
I’m calling it “Hunger Games” with aliens.
Here's the book trailer:

I wanted to share a promotion that I'm running. I've recently combined my YA, scifi trilogy into a box set:
The Forgotten Origins

I've cut the price in half for a limited time, so that you get all three for just 3.99
Direct link to Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Forgotten-Origi...
Blurb:
The Forgotten Origins Trilogy is a fast-paced, young adult sci-fi story, centered around sixteen-year-old Alex. What starts as a rare meteor shower, ends up unleashing a viral plague that changes everything. Led into the mountains of the Pacific Northwest by cryptic clues left from her deceased father, Alex discovers that the past is not what she learned in school. When the human race balances on the brink of extinction, the fate of the world rests on the truth being exposed. To unravel the ancient secrets, Alex must rely on her friends, family and few allies. The Forgotten Origins is an epic saga, drawing the reader into a fascinating, frightening world where the unfolding drama will keep you riveted until the last page is turned.
I just released the box set a couple of weeks ago, and so it doesn't have any reviews yet, but the trilogy has a combined 4.8 average with over 50 reviews on Amazon.
Thanks!!
Hi everyone! I'm adding the authors summary here, since it was posted outside of this thread in a folder on it's own. Author is Steve White, not me so don't get confused with my picture lol
Steve White posted: I am pleased to announce that my debut book has been released Worldwide via Amazon - the first in what I hope will become "The Project Forge Series" :-)
The first book is known as 'Homegrown Terror' and as follows is a brief synopsis alongside a link to the book at Amazon:
Kendra is a soft spoken girl at school, and many of her friends would describe her as independent and shy. But beneath the surface she is a fierce warrior: Kendra is in fact a teen spy. Her "parents" are handlers for the National Security Agency, and she is sent on missions around the country. Her newest mission: a new homegrown terrorist organization has sprung up in the US, and she must tear the organization down. She will come up against more danger than she has ever faced before - will she save her country? Or will she die trying?
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TOC2BMK/
I have made the book available for free via Kindle Unlimited, or it is just a few dollars to purchase, so please check it out if you like the sound of it!
Have a great weekend,

It's available for pre-order:
http://www.amazon.com/The-Heartbeat-T...
and will be reduced to 99 cents for the first two days only.

The light goes out in seventeen year old Cassandra Rhyne’s world when her father is discovered lying face down in the bayou. A horrible accident, people say. A terrible tragedy, they say. Only, the mists of Bayou Rhyne tell her something different. The whispers speak to her of murder. When she tells her mother and the sheriff what the mists are trying to say, it lands her in weekly visits to the head doctor.
A glimmer of light returns to Cassie’s life when she meets Derrick Anderson, the new senior in school. But there remains a darkness. She has a murder to prove; the problem is her suspected murderer is also running for mayor… that, and no one believes her.
Belinda Larson, aka, Belle, a boarder at Rhyne Equestrian Center and the daughter of mayor elect, despises Cassie and makes it her sworn duty to bring her down any way she can. Taking Cassie’s best, and only friend away from her is a good start; next she sets her sights on the handsome Derrick Anderson.
The awkward love triangle results in a terrible accident that puts Belle in a coma and forces Derrick to run for his life or face jail. He turns to Cassie. Against her will, Cassie agrees to help him, unaware that in his salvation lie the dark secrets to her father’s murder.
Thanks so much! :)

I'll be releasing Easier to Run on May 4!
Right now it's a special pre-order price of 99 cents on Amazon and iBooks!
If you're a blogger and want some more information on ARCs or the blitz, I have all of the information on my blog.
Here's the Prologue if you'd like a little taste of what's coming:
Easier to Run
©Silver Rain, 2015
There are moments in life when you know you can’t go back and nothing will ever be the same. Sometimes, they replay on slow motion in your head, simultaneously reminding you of who you once were and how you came to be who you are now.
Sometimes, they eat away at you from the inside, like micro-crystals of poison growing in the back of your mind and seeping into your entire body.
Life can rob you of the things you hold dearest, and no matter how tightly you hold on, it leaves you helpless to watch as caskets are lowered, bridges are burned, and things you once held sacred, fade to ashes caught on the wind.
I keep running because there’s no way to get back the things I’ve lost. The people I’ve lost. But there’s still one person who might be worth clinging to. One boy who saved me from my own self-doubt more times than I can fathom. One man who was by my side, his support never faltering, even as life threw the worst at me.
But there’s one big problem.
I haven’t even spoken to him in six years. Life moved on, and I’m terrified to know where it took him. I’m terrified to tell him where it took me.
Now that I’m ready to go back, will there be anything left?
Will he push me away?
Will he even recognize who I am today?
It’s easier to run.
Maybe, just one more time, he’ll let me run away with him.

It's fun, not-too-angsty new adult with some seriously steamy scenes. I like writing about smart and sassy characters because brainless and/or spineless protagonists make me throw things ;)
~SCHOOLED~
Twenty-one-year-old Alexis Caine is so close to her dream she can taste it. And it tastes like validation and Häagen-Dazs.
In a few months the quick-talking redhead will graduate with a shiny new business degree and launch a fashion label with her best friend Ava. All the planning, dedication, and saying ‘no’ to every distraction will pay off.
Then Dylan Cameron, Ava’s tall, dark and broody younger brother, returns from the East coast as a sophomore at Lex’s San Diego college. Lex has hardly seen him in years and given his reputation for partying and girls, that’s just fine with her.
But Dylan’s all grown up. And a night of unplanned confessions for both of them threatens to tear Lex’s carefully constructed world off its axis…
Because one sassy control freak + one prodigal son = chemistry that refuses to be ignored.

Forgotten starlet Georgia Evans is finally back in the spotlight—when a naked romp with her ex goes viral. Not the kind of publicity she was hoping for, particularly when it brings up memories she’d rather forget. And catches the attention of someone unexpected…
Despite having his pick of projects, heartthrob Cole Anderson stuns Hollywood by turning down a new blockbuster in favor of a web serial, of all things. But only if Georgia gets the female lead. She needs the money; he needs a chance to apologize…and maybe get reacquainted with the one who got away.
But life in the limelight often reveals things best kept hidden, and Georgia has a secret that may force her to choose between the career she’s trying to rebuild—and the man she’s learning to love all over again.

Azalea Anthony is a writer, or what she claims to be.Vim Harvey is her friend, or at least what she wants to believe.Jasmine Morrish is Azalea's archenemy, or so what Jash believes Azalea makes people believe...er--There are other characters, too: like Warren, the basketball player, Beatrix, the model, Tom, the perfect excuse of a brother, Eclaire, the eccentric bff, etc.
They all hangout in one place where they can enjoy a steaming cup of debates, an aroma of gossips, a side dish of basketball, a topping of drama, and a menu of articles : The Big Coffee Shop.

Just a Few Inches, by Tara St. Pierre
All Carrie Roberts wants is to be a little bit smaller.
To fit into the perfect dress for the Valentine’s Day Dance. To look beautiful for her boyfriend, the school’s star basketball player. To keep his jealous ex-girlfriend, a rival cheerleader, away from him. And to be noticed by her classmates.
Exercising and dieting don’t work, but an advertisement for weight loss pills promises a quicker solution to her problem. As time runs out, she takes more than the recommended dose until she’s just a few inches slimmer. Heads turn when she arrives at the dance, and the wonderful night with her boyfriend is beyond what she dreamed it would be.
Days later, Carrie discovers that her body is changing in ways that should be impossible. While her doctor searches for a cure, she desperately turns to her friends and family for support. Everyone is noticing her now whether she likes it or not, and even the media is intrigued by her incredible story. Getting everything she once wanted has created new problems—problems that are growing more terrifying every day.
Because Carrie Roberts is shrinking.

Blurb for Gravity:
Ethan Fisher is kind of a badass- just ask him. The fact that he plays guitar and sings in a band only serves as fuel to the fire of his flirtatious nature. That is until he meets Courtney Ross, a sort of anxious, pixie-like cheerleader with a vocabulary much larger than his. Things would be perfect if she didn’t live eighteen hundred miles away. She shifts his perspective and steals his heart, but how long can she keep it? Find out what was behind all of those sexy smirks in What Comes of Eating Doughnuts With a Boy Who Plays Guitar, and what really went down the night of that fateful phone call.
College bound, Ethan knows he will run into Courtney eventually, and he is determined to have another chance to be the man she thought he was. If it is even possible for her to speak to him without throwing her coffee in his face. He’s willing to take his chances in hopes that the infatuation of their summer love can hold up in the real world. In a novel that is part insightful overlap, part delicious sequel, learn how this winding tale of love and heartbreak unfolds.
Due to moderate language and mature themes, this book is recommended for readers 16+.

Boys love this book! A football place kicker with a gorilla leg who kicks 70-yard field goals, but worries about turning into a gorilla. Oh, not a true story, but it speaks to greater truths! Which greater truths? Uh, well I don't have enough space in this box to go into that.
It's a funny, action-packed book with unusual plots twists.
I can tell you this: kids who don't read a lot, particularly boys, have really enjoyed this book. Know someone like that? Well, this might be the story that get him/her to sit down and read.

Prepare to fall into a love that is powerful enough to prevail over tragedy, death, and multiple lifetimes...
When eighteen-year-old Nate meets Elizabeth by chance during the height of the French Revolution he has no idea that his entire life is about to change. They quickly fall in love only to be tragically torn apart during the September Massacre of 1792.
Nate reincarnates more than two hundred years later in Brookfield, Wisconsin with the sole purpose of finding his lost love, Elizabeth. He soon realizes that finding her is the easy part, but keeping her is a whole other story. Elizabeth has no memory of their past life together until she begins being tormented by vivid dreams. Soon they both become swept up in the past and each other. Their happiness is once more threatened by Elizabeth’s mobster ex-boyfriend and Nate’s disapproving friends Darcy and Jake. They must stick together to overcome the obstacles trying to rip them apart with the help of Elizabeth’s friends Luciana, Surewood, and Belinda.
Things get messier when Elizabeth begins to remember a dark new past life she shared with Nate; as well as with her ex, Anton, who refuses to let her go without a fight. But Nate and Elizabeth must ask is there someone else pulling the strings with Anton? Someone who is more sinister and dangerous than they can even imagine? Will Nate and Elizabeth ever get their happy ending?
