I have a YouTube Channel!

Ok, I know the past two posts have not been much or at all bout writing but in my defense the one on my premade covers is kind of related to writing. 🙂 I always create my own book covers for my stories and have created many for other awesome authors. But this post isn’t about covers but it is artistic so maybe you all will forgive me.

I am not sure if I have every told you all, but I have a YouTube Channel. Yup! I had at one point even tried to post about how to make covers on there but it is more of an art channel and it didn’t do so well. I do have another channel that I might use for writing and for covers but for now that is on pause.

I had taken a break from it and from all social media channels even this blog due to a family matter. But I am super happy to return and plan to update this blog more often and about writing, I promise. 🙂 In the meantime it would mean so much to me if you all checked out my art channel and if you like what you see please subscribe and share it with your family and friends. I tend to do giveaways on there from time to time and have so much planned for all areas of my creative journey.

Here are a few more previews of the types of videos I post there.

A Look at a Past Recommended Author

For today’s FREE ebook I thought we take a look at a past author already listed on this blog, Robyn Peterman. I have reviewed one of her other books, Fashionably Dead. Want to see the review and the score I gave that book check it out here.

But for today we are talking about a different book, Switching Hour: Magic and Mayhem Book One.

Released from the magic pokey and paroled with limited power is enough to make any witch grumpy. However, if you throw in a recently resurrected cat, a lime-green Kia and a sexy egotistical werewolf, it’s enough to make a gal fly off the edge. 

Not to mention a mission…with no freaking directions.

So here I sit in Asscrack, West Virginia trying to figure out how to complete my mysterious mission before All Hallows Eve when I’ll get turned into a mortal. The animals in the area are convinced I’m the Shifter Whisperer (whatever the hell that is) and the hotter-than- asphalt-in-August werewolf thinks I’m his mate. Now apparently I’m slated to save a bunch of hairy freaks of nature?

If they think I’m the right witch for the job, they’ve swallowed some bad brew. 

Want to give this book a read? Check it’s Amazon listing.

Have your own free eBook that you would like to see showcased here, just let me know in the comments. And if you would like to support me, a local self-published author, check out my A Prince From Another World, a gay fantasy/romance, series.

Free eBooks and Discovering a New Author

Free eBooks are a great way to try out a new author and get a taste of their writing style. Patty Jansen is an author I just discovered and she has written countless books. She currently has two books for free and various collections also for free. But in this post I will be sharing only one, her Ambassador 1: Seeing Red.

A Matt Damon political thriller meets Total Recall action with Avatar otherwordliness. —-Ditmar Award winning author Zena Shapter

It is the sign of a great story teller when an intricate political landscape can be seamlessly woven into your brain without you ever noticing. I was well and truly hooked. The hierarchies and customs of various alien races are understandably complex but not too much to lose the reader. The story is fast-paced and twisting as Cory tries to unravel who can perpetrate the attack on the President and why they would do so, while enduring stonewalling and spying from all sides of politics, including his own. —Reviewer at SQ Magazine (sqmag.com/)

Ambassador 1: Seeing Red

Ambassador 1

24 October 2114: the day that shocked the world.

Young diplomat Cory Wilson narrowly escapes death in the assassination of President Sirkonen. No one claims responsibility but there is no doubt that the attack is extraterrestrial.

Cory was meant to start work as a representative to Gamra, the alien organisation that governs the FTL transport network, but now his new job may well be scrapped in anger.

Worse, as Earth uses military force to stop any extraterrestrials coming or leaving, as 200,000 extraterrestrial humans are trapped on Earth, as the largest army in the galaxy prepares to free them by force, only Cory has the experience, language skills and contacts to solve the crime.

But he’s broke, out of a job and a long way from Earth.
