Creative Reviews discussion

Hey Canary, I'm cecking out The Canary now and it looks interesting! I write YA, and I just had my second book come out this past year, Family Ties. If you are interested I could send you an ebook format to review.

Good evening Canary,

My new book, Jane Was Here, just came out last week.

I would be happy to send you a review copy. Let me know what format - physical or digital.

Regards,
Sarah



A little bit about Jane Was Here:
A mysterious young woman calling herself Jane turns up in a small New England town. She claims a fragmentary memory of growing up in this place, yet she has never been here before in her life. Upon her arrival, strange and alarming things begin happening to some of the town's inhabitants. As Jane's memories reawaken piece by piece, they carry her back to a long-buried secret, while the townspeople hurtle forward to a horrific event when past and present fatally collide.

I would be more than interested to have you take a look at Paradox - The Angels Are Here.

Here is the book trailer - http://theangelsarehere.wordpress.com...

Looking forward to hearing from you. Cheers, Patti

Thank you Canary! :)

Hi Canary,

I'd love for you to review my sci-fi book, Die Laughing, which is being released in July by IFWG Publishing. Below is a brief synopsis.

If you’re a comedian and the world’s fate is in your hands, it’s no laughing matter.

Die Laughing, a humorously dark science-fiction novel, is set in the 1950s of flying saucers, communist paranoia, and live television.

Beamed aboard an alien spaceship, Las Vegas funny man Sam E. Lakeside is forced to participate in a plan to rob the earth of its oil.

When the shape-shifting aliens – who take on the form of Trixie Norton, Nat King Cole and others they’ve seen on TV – and their leader, a power-hungry mobster, murder Sam’s best friend and manager, Sam vows revenge.

He recruits a blacklisted comic book writer and the mobster’s girlfriend, and drags them cross-country to thwart the aliens. Their journey takes them to New York City and the Steve Allen Show, where the key to the alien’s conquest lies.

Sam, embroiled in an escalating tangle of violence, love, and lies, is forced to choose between what he wants most in the world – to be a star – or the planet’s survival.

Here's the link to the book trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTmjUr...

Hi Canary...a YA fantasy, if you have peeps interested in reviewing.



Global warming is playing havoc on Earth, and when 17 year-old Haley tumbles to a parallel world, she discovers that Earth's issues stem from a war between the Eyids, the gods of nature. Because her necklace is a stone that holds the power of the Air Eyid, Haley's the key to stopping the war.

Haley's first instinct is to jet that insane world and head back to Earth, but she's taken hostage by Tuggin, a snarky Eyidoran who kidnaps her by knife point. Despite the kidnapee-kidnapper relationship, Tuggin insists he's trying to protect her, and Haley kind of forgets her plans to escape as she's sucked in by Tuggin's hall-god looks.

It turns out that Tuggin belongs to a coven of witches who has plans to control Eyidora. After eavesdropping and hearing him receive an order to neutralize� her, she decides to take action. She's not sure exactly what it means to be neutralized, but she figures it might have something to do with torture or death. She jets, planning to go home to Earth; unfortunately she jets into the desert where she almost dies.

She's saved by Ian, a crazy-hot guy from Earth that she used to crush on, but who is also a fellow Eyidoran. But hall-god looks, again, blinds Haley to the danger surrounding her, and she's lulled into a sense of security.

Haley winds up sandwiched between Tuggin and Ian, constantly guessing at their ulterior motives, and whether they want to kiss her or kill her. With her stone of power, Haley's forced to make a choice that will decide the fate of all the worlds. But who should she trust, who should she fight, and who is the one with fire in his blood bent on betraying them all?

Hi, Canary,
If you're interested in reading urban fantasy with a literary bent, I could use a couple more reviews. The book is very character-driven, not the plot/action heavy of usual urban fantasy. if you're still interested, check out the link and let me know what format you'd like me to send!

The Superiors

Hi Canary

Hi Canary,

Canary,

I would love to have you review my book(s), if you're interested. The series is gay paranormal romance/contemporary fantasy with scifi elements, which I suppose is kind of a niche audience. It is predicated on the questions: What if vampires and vampire slayers were exposed on national television? Would they be able to coexist with humanity, or would war be inevitable?

I can give you coupons for free download of all or any of them through Smashwords, or I can provide you with print copies, whichever you prefer.

I'd love to review your books. Can you send me copies?

@Canary--you won't be sorry, it's a good read!

Hi Canary!

Wow, looks like you have your hands full. Anyway, if you still have any time on your hands I would love to put up my short story for consideration. It's being published by Books to Go Now and just went up today...woohoo!!

It's my first and I have another coming up from Twenty or Less Press called "A Little Push".

Anyway, here's the synopsis for "Rain Plays Barefoot". http://www.bookstogonow.com/rainplays...

Rain Plays Barefoot

It's seventh grade. Uncomfortable at thirteen, Rain watches as her friends morph into 'hair-flinging gossip mines' and the pressure mounts to get 'girlie' using curling irons and make-up. Utterly sick of the table talk revolving around 'boys, boys...freaking boys everywhere...', she privately wishes that men didn't make up half of the population, so maybe her friends would talk about something else. The only girl percussionist in her Middle School's history, she finds she's surprisingly good at something she shouldn't be, and overwhelmingly flawed at everything else. Then she's cornered with a crush, that threatens to turn her into a 'boy-crazy priss' and chip her status as 'one of the guys'.

I can get you a free copy if you'd like to review it and rate it on Amazon. Also, I have a website and would love to post your review on it. Yours would be one of the first!

Thanks a lot!
