Book Blurb:
At first it was all freedom, fun, and games for Lilly Fairfield. Being a freshman in college was supposed to create some of the best memories of her life, especially with her best friend, Lauren, and longtime boyfriend, Sander, by her side.

But the excitement begins to slip away when the people closest to her start to change. They begin moving in a direction Lilly doesn’t want to go, forcing Lilly to be faced with a decision. Should she fight for her relationships with both Sander and Lauren or move on to something different? Something unknown. Someone like…

Colton Davenport. Colton isn’t Lilly’s typical type. He's shockingly sexy with his colorful tattoos, shiny silver lip ring, and ear gauges. His smile alone leaves her breathless. Then again, she hasn’t had a specific type other than Sander. When she meets Colton she feels an automatic attraction that stuns her into utter stillness. She can’t look away, doesn’t want to look away.

Lilly must decide between a life with Sander, a life she always thought she wanted, and an unknown path with Colton.

Will Lilly make the right choices for her future, Becoming More?

Tour Stop & Giveaway: The Secret Side of Empty - Maria Andreu

The Secret Side of Empty, in bookstores Spring, 2014, is the story of a high school senior, M.T., who is hiding a big secret: she’s “illegal.” Her parents brought her over as a baby and overstayed their visas. She’s American in every way except one: on paper. No one knows, not even her best friend Chelsea and her sweet boyfriend, Nate. With senior year coming to a close, she has to figure out how she’ll build a life with no social security number, no college, no driver’s license and no way to get a real job. But first she’s got to make it through senior year.

Five things about my book that might surprise you:

1. There is a car chase. It doesn’t involve any cops, but it’s how the main character meets her boyfriend. It’s kind of fun. And loosely based on how I met my high school boyfriend.

2. The New York Daily News has already done a story on it! It’s pretty exciting to see the book getting such good buzz. 

3. It’s based on real life. I was an undocumented immigrant as a teenager (I got my citizenship through an amnesty when I was 18). 

4. I was an “overnight success” (that was 15 years in the making). I got writing rejection after rejection, the proverbial full wall of them. Then I was accepted by the first agency I pitched The Secret Side of Empty (they picked me out of the slush pile). And they sold the book to Running Press in the first round of submissions. It taught me a lot about perseverance.

5. I picked what agency to pitch by looking in the acknowledgement pages of the biggest YA novels I could find, like Twilight and Sarah Dessen’s books. I figured that when “the top” rejected me I could work my way down. But they took me! The email they sent is framed in my house.

Book Description:

‘With all my heart, 

With every inch of my Soul, 

With every breath I take, 

I promise to love you forever’ 

Cassie can’t remember being loved, being wanted. At a young age she was placed in Foster care that moved her around from one place to the other. Finally being freed at 18, she was left with no money and nowhere to go until she finds a small town in Kansas where she can start over.

Little did she know her life was going to be uprooted again when she is kidnapped and brutally raped.

Jesse is considered HOT in most women’s eyes, but has little time for Romance. While searching for his Mother’s killers, he witnesses a young girl being kidnapped. He now faces decisions that he must make quickly. 

Will Jesse rescue Cassie? Will Cassie ever find the happiness she longs for? 

*Due to a graphic rape scene, strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

Author Interview & Giveaway: Michele G Miller

1. Tell us a bit about yourself. 

Hi! *waves* I'm Michele and I'm a writer.  I'm also a mother of 3, a wife to a totally amazing man, a dog owner, sports fanatic, book devourer, chocoholic and Mexican food eater.  I am beyond blessed to get to spend my days playing around on my PC and occasionally creating stories for you to read.  Mostly I'm messing around with my peeps on FB & Twitter and listening to Spotify ;)

2. What inspired you to write your first book?

I have been writing since the 7th grade on and off.  It was a coping skill when my family moved from Maine to Alabama (yea, talk about culture shock!)

            After getting all 3 kids into school last year I started debating on what to do now.  I knew I wanted to stay at home for my kids but I also debated on going back to school to get a degree in something I loved 'just in case' I ever needed it.  I should tell you that I married my high school sweetheart at 19 and worked while he went to school then got pregnant at 22 so I set aside my school and thoughts of writing and working in journalism for my family.  Not that I'm complaining it's been the best (and hardest) job of my life!  I should also tell you that my husband has been begging me to write for years and years.  He is ridiculously supportive of me!

            So in November 2012 I had the chance to spend the weekend with another Indie author, Nancy Straight, and hang out at YA'll Fest in Charleston SC.  That weekend proved to be my changing point.  I quizzed Nancy on the ins and outs of her writing and how things worked when you self pubbed.  Her answers and support were the kick that I needed to come home sit down and write.  The rest, as they say, is history.

3. How did you come up with the title, Never Let You Fall, for book one in you’re The Prophecy of Tyalbrook series?

The title actually comes from song inspiration.  'Your Guardian Angel' by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.  It has been a favourite song of mine for years and it is the epitome of Xander.  It just fit perfectly.

Review: Price of Justice - Alan Brenham

Reviewer: Charlee
Rating: 5 out of 5 Fairies

I honestly couldn't wait to start reading Price of Justice. I love a good crime thriller; however, I often find myself disappointed by boring storylines and nothing to grip me. BUT, I have to say, this book was awesome! It's well written with plenty going on to keep my brain busy. 

Following the story of a cop, Jason Scarsdale is trying to adjust to life following the death of his beloved wife, while struggling to be everything his little girl needs him to be, and still catch the sickos on the street, of which there are many! Scarsdale finds a friend in the form of Dani, who also works at the precinct, and together, with his daughter, Shannon, they get on like a house on fire. 

But Dani has secrets of her own and could unwittingly bring a whole world of trouble to Scarsdale and Shannon. Scarsdale must do what is best for Shannon despite breaking his own, and Shannon's heart by doing it.

Fighting custody battles with his mother-in-law, Scarsdale's world is ripped apart once again when the ring of paedophiles he is chasing threaten his precious daughter. Shannon is all Scarsdale has left, but can he protect his little girl? A very well deserved 5 stars!

Synopsis
Corruption, deception, revenge and murder abound when a high profile murder investigation in Austin, Texas, begins to spin out of control. For Detective Jason Scarsdale and police crime analyst Dani Mueller, the consequences of failure are unimaginable. When his beloved daughter, Shannon, is abducted by the killer and Mueller is taken hostage, will Scarsdale continue to play by the rules?
