Without a heart, death and love are equally impossible.

James's heart has been stolen. He knows because he got stabbed in the chest and didn't even bleed. On the plus side, he isn't dead! On the minus side, whoever has his heart can control him, and until he gets the heart back, he is incapable of feeling love for anyone but the thief. Whoever that may be.

He has to get the heart back, and quickly. But with an assassin in the mix, and a vengeful ex-lover, and a suspicious fiancée, and no idea who to trust or where to look, the task won't be easy. Especially when, with a stolen heart, he can't even really trust himself.

#BookTour: Amansun (The Dragon Prince) by Vincent Robinson @RABTBookTours

Amansun the Dragon Prince - Vol. 1

 

Young Adult Fantasy / Mythical

Date Published: ‎February 17, 2023

Publisher: Gatekeeper Press

High up in the Smoky Black Mountains, Amansun and his family live among the great colony of dragons who call the steep and jagged mountain range home. Though Amansun is the eldest of his dragon clutch, he often feels like an outcast, and he spends most of his time venturing to the Great Forest up North, where he finds peace and solitude. His life is one dreary day after another—until one day when he sets into motion something that impacts the entire colony, putting him and his family at odds with the rest of the dragons.

The elders of the colony decide to send Amansun on a perilous quest to remedy his mistake, but there is little hope he will succeed. Along the way, he encounters elves, dwarves, stone trolls, and centaurs, all of whom choose to either help or hinder in his quest; he travels farther than he thought possible, across the Barren Plains, past the Old Great Forest, and to a mysterious and dark final destination; and he faces questions about his morals and his place in the world.

All mysteries will be answered along the way, and a prophecy of old may even prove to be true. Only time will tell.

#BookTour: "America" Oh, Say Can You See by John E. Suraj Persad @RABTBookTours

 

OH, AMERICA, CAN YOU REALLY SEE? “TROUBLE AHEAD FOR AMERICA”

 

Political Nonfiction

Date Published: August 30, 2023

Publisher: ‎ Bookmarketeers.com

This book places the reader in the correct frame of mind to grasp the gravity of the situation facing America and comprehend the downward spiral we have entered collectively as a nation. The United States' hegemony, competitive advantage, economic interests, national security, social construct, morality, and military capability are being threatened and contested on multiple levels, internally and externally. The global situation has escalated to a point where our past global retreats and inactions are forcing us to face significantly more risk. It is imperative that we adopt a more deliberate and strategic foreign policy posture, spend substantially more on targeted foreign investments, reengage partners, fix our sociocultural crisis, and develop new alliances to not fade away into irrelevance as so many great empires did throughout history.

Oh, say, can you see "America" is written with the intention of giving busy readers and the electorate a summary perspective on several different issues that affect us singularly as a nation, regionally as a country, and globally as a competing power. In the context of writing styles, this book has an aura of simplification and reiterating points throughout the book that I wanted to drive home. It is purposefully done to give the reader a "common sense" perspective rather than a scholastic paper filled with dry facts and data. Hopefully, this book will create more questions than answers and spark lively debates among families, friends, and colleagues. Please ask the tough questions, debate with an open mind, do not follow talking points, get information from different sources on both sides, and then use your common sense to see the truth of actions. You may not agree with some points, but it is always beneficial to look at varying perspectives, especially with so much on the line. To help the reader connect the dots on America's domestic spiral, the book will look through a political, cultural, and social lens to tease out socio-political issues impacting society and how the ramifications of these actions have created the downward spiral our great nation is in today.

To reiterate, this book is purposed to not only wet the reader's appetite but to make you think, ask the hard questions, and become knowledgeable and engaged in the democratic process of our nation, regardless of political persuasion. Might I remind the readers that politics is there to serve us in the governance of the country, not live in our "head space," and it must be returned to its rightful place in society so we as a people can come together as "One Nation Under God" and most importantly, "Under One Flag."

#ReleaseBlitz for The Space Between Your Heart & Mine by @MToppenAuthor and @GiveMeBooksPR

Title: The Space Between Your Heart & Mine

Author: Melissa Toppen

Genre: Adult Romance

Trope: Second Chance at Love

Release Date: December 8, 2023

BLURB

From USA Today Bestselling Author Melissa Toppen, comes a brand-new, contemporary romance that explores the complexities of loss and the captivating journey of embracing a second chance at love.

At twenty-six, I thought I knew exactly what my life would look like. Marry my fiancé, Blake. Buy a big house on the California coast and have a couple of kids. Everything was so clear, until my mom got sick, and then suddenly it wasn’t anymore.

In the span of one year, my entire life was different. My mom was gone. I had abruptly ended my engagement. And I found myself three thousand miles away from home, trying to reassemble the pieces of my life when none of them seemed to fit together anymore.

That’s when Remi came into the picture…

Gorgeous as they come, he blew in like a hurricane, shaking the very foundation beneath my feet. I had never met someone so unapologetically themselves. He was crass and witty. Sexy and fun. And boy could that man charm the robe off a nun.

His very presence warned me to stay away and yet drew me in all in the same breath. He was everything I wanted but shouldn’t—danger and desire wrapped up in one beautiful package. Trying to resist him was about as futile as trying to hold my breath for longer than a few seconds. Simply put, it wasn’t going to happen.

Giving in to a man like Remi is as effortless as breathing.

Falling in love with a man like Remi, on the other hand, is not quite so simple.

I guess matters of the heart never are…

The Space Between Your Heart & Mine is a standalone spinoff novel.

It can be read completely on its own or following The Space Between Duet—The Space Between Love & Hate and The Space Between Now & Forever.

#BookReview: We Have Always Been Who We Are by @sofiatromero

Synopsis: From Pushcart Prize–nominated author Sofia T. Romero comes a breathtaking debut collection of interrelated stories suffused with magical realism.

In stories that evoke the haunting beauty of New England beaches and resonate with a bittersweet loneliness, Romero blurs the lines between life and death, reality and fantasy. A deceased woman counsels her son’s fiancée on how to be a good wife to him, with disastrous consequences. A mysterious, commanding cat appears in a young woman’s home, as inexplicable as the demise of her years-long relationship with her boyfriend. At turns humorous, sorrowful, and whimsical, this collection spans the familiar setting of a college town supermarket to eerie dystopias that are not just post-pandemic, but post-art. Romero masterfully conveys the follies of youth and the regrets of life, and a sense of loss—of a relationship, a child, a time before—pervades each page.

With this remarkable debut, Romero joins the ranks of writers such as Brenda Peynado and Marytza K. Rubio, offering a superb collection of speculative fiction with a distinctly Latina perspective. We Have Always Been Who We Are is at its heart a testament to the power of storytelling, and an invitation to develop our inner strength through the imagination.
