Book Description:

Called, “both intimate and epic,” by Kirkus Reviews in a starred review, Two Like Me and You by Chad Alan Gibbs is a coming of age teen adventure full of romance and laugh out loud humor. Fans of John Green’s Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska and Robyn Schneider’s The Beginning of Everything will find what they’re looking for in this debut young adult novel.

Edwin Green’s ex-girlfriend is famous. We’re talking cover-of-every-tabloid-in-the-grocery-store-line famous. She dumped Edwin one year ago on what he refers to as Black Saturday, and in hopes of winning her back, he’s spent the last twelve months trying to become famous himself. It hasn’t gone well.

But when a history class assignment pairs Edwin with Parker Haddaway, the mysterious new girl at school, she introduces him to Garland Lenox, the nursing-home-bound World War II veteran who will change Edwin’s life forever.

The three escape to France, in search of the old man’s long-lost love, and as word of their hilarious adventure spreads, they become media darlings. But when things fall apart, they also become the focus of French authorities. In a race against time, who will find love, and who will only find more heartache?

Book Description:

For almost fifteen years, an unexpected evil loomed over the lives of some Vitrian children. These children are known to be gifted; a prophecy of The Chosen child had been given some time ago about them. The Chosen is a child with special gift of ‘fire’ that was prophesied to be born among the Vitrian and was to change things. Some Vitrian children have shown deep traits and are identified as children who are connected to The Chosen child. Hence this has brought the wrath of an evil force that is determined to wipe the prophecy away.

The Healing Méndez explains the saga around the children’s lives and the life of Wanda Troms who is proposed to be The Chosen child due to her gift that has started manifesting. Wanda’s gifts put her, her mother, her brother, and every child connected to The Chosen in grave danger. She would need not only special abilities to fight supernatural creatures but also the unique healing mantel of the Vitrians called The Healing Méndez, which is used to heal people who have been bitten or wounded by a demon.

Would Wanda or her brother survive the perilous situation they are in, and would she be able to find The Healing Méndez? Without The Healing Mendez, Wanda can’t save or heal her brother or those on the verge of dying. Confusion is only part of Wanda’s problem; she is also challenged with who to trust, as past secrets torment the entire Vitrian people.

The Vitrian Secrets is filled with suspense, secrets, mystery and unexpected twist. It is a teen, young adult and paranormal fictional novel that any age from twelve and upwards would enjoy. The suspense in the story will keep you reading all night.

About the Author:

My name is Dele Andersen, and I am also known as D.A. I am a young adult short story and novel writer. My stories and writing style combine the supernatural or the fallen with love, paranormal, faith, belief, and courage. My stories are extremely captivating; the stories make readers turn each page of their book without the knowledge of time passing or the desire to end the story. The stories create so much suspense that make readers perplexed as they read on, trying to untangle the plot until the last page.

Outside reading and when I am not writing, I enjoy family time with my spouse and four boys who keep me busy and the house very occupied. As you’ll probably guess; boys are into their games so you can imagine what it is like when they are locked in a video game on the weekend; the screams, the cries, and the frustration they display…I am already smiling. Except for my deep family time, I also enjoy watching a Lawn Tennis match and playing chess. I like soccer, but I would not call myself a die-hard fan.

As captivating as my stories are, my writing style is clean and modest. I avoid the use of foul language and/or unaccepted forms or use of verbiage. The stories and novels are readable by a wide range of age groups from 12 to 70 or even older.

The Rules for Lying

Author: L.A. Kelley

Genre: Young Adult

Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars
Free via Kindle Unlimited: Yes

Regular Price: $2.99
Today’s Price: FREE!

Click Here for Your Free Copy!

Book Description:

Magic isn’t for sissies.

No good comes from this book. The story has magic, mayhem, theft, murder, sass talk, demons, animals committing felonies, gleeful revenge, and bad things happening to good people for no particular reason. It won’t encourage good habits and probably fine tune bad ones. The only lesson learned is don’t lie unless you know the rules.

Teenager Peter Whistler lives at the Little Angels Home for Orphan Boys. Life in New Jersey is harsh in the Great Depression, but Peter has an exceptional ability to lie. He hones his talent, convinced it’s the ticket to easy fortune. He certainly doesn’t foresee the arrival of a murderous conjurer with mysterious designs on a little blind girl named Esther. Drawn into a nefarious plot to unleash a demon, Peter leads Esther and an enchanted terrier on a desperate escape to New Orleans and meets Amelie Marchand. Like all well-bred southern girls she’s trained in deadly martial arts, but with a murderous stepmother, Amelie has troubles of her own. Peter and Amelie’s one chance for survival is to head deep into the bayou and seek help from a mad shaman known as the Frog King.

Welcome to an alternate 1930s where both jazz and magic fill New Orleans’ air. Can a little luck, mystical lies, and a dash of Cajun crazy help Peter harness the power to kill an immortal demon? If not, the Depression will be a picnic by comparison when hell arrives on Earth.

About the Author:

I live in the south where the heat and humidity have driven us all slightly mad. I’m easy to spot as I’m the palest person around. I avoid the sun and love air conditioned comfort. On the plus side, my skin will never look like badly laid roofing shingles.

My favorite writing genres are fantasy and science fiction, but I’ll read just about anything except technical instruction manuals. All my stories have fantasy, humor, romance, and a touch of sass. In my spare time I enjoy phoning in Bigfoot sightings to the Department of Fish and Wildlife. They are heartily sick of hearing from me.

Secrets come to light in this supernatural mystery, sending one teen on a journey that will change his life – forever.

One boy, Mark Parker, swears to avenge the death of the girl found murdered beneath the cliff. Mark recruits the help of some friends and begin to unravel the mysteries of Rockport.
