Author: Mary Ting
Genre: Young Adult
Release Date: September 4, 2018
Hand Drawn Cover Artist: Sam Shearon
Publisher: Vesuvian Books



What Fate Awaits A Girl Who Hears Monsters At Night…

Sixteen-year-old Jaclyn looks up to her father. An honest man who once fought for the king, he now teaches Jaclyn how to use her wits—and her sword.

But he has a secret. And his secret may have a connection to the one thing Jaclyn is hiding from him.

Upon hearing “monsters” are terrorizing the small villages around Black Mountain, Jaclyn’s father and his friends head out to hunt them … but they don’t return.

Armed only with her sword and three magic beans—a gift from a mysterious old woman—Jaclyn sets out for Black Mountain to save her father.

On her climb, one bean drops and grows into a beanstalk, catching her when she falls.

She isn’t the only one that takes the ride. Jack, her childhood friend and secret crush, is following her.

Together, Jaclyn and Jack must battle to save not only their fathers, but the townspeople the beasts plan to lay waste to before it’s too late.





International Bestselling/Award Winning Author Mary Ting/M. Clarke resides in Southern California with her husband and two children. She enjoys oil painting and making jewelry. Writing her first novel, Crossroads Saga, happened by chance. It was a way to grieve the death of her beloved grandmother, and inspired by a dream she once had as a young girl. When she started reading new adult novels, she fell in love with the genre. It was the reason she had to write one-Something Great. She also toured with Magic Johnson Foundation to promote literacy and her children's chapter book-No Bullies Allowed.

Release Blitz ~ Secrets of Spring, Seasons of Jefferson #3, by Julie Solano & Tracy Justice


Secrets of Spring
Series: Seasons of Jefferson Trilogy #3
Authors: Julie Solano & Tracy Justice
JT Authors
Genre: Young Adult
Release Date: March 26, 2018


Blurb

Secrets!  They’re all I’ve ever known.  Since the night I witnessed the unthinkable, I’ve been forced to live with a hidden identity.  For our safety, we were tucked away in a rural mountain community in Northern California.  For me, the tradeoff was bitter.  Friendships were torn apart.  One young playmate would never be seen again and the other would become a forbidden acquaintance.

As the years passed, our new lives were rebuilt from the ashes of destruction we’d left behind.  For most of my adolescence, my only safe outlets were school and sports.  I became a scholar student and an all-around athlete who surrounded myself only with a tiny circle of my most trusted friends.  Friends that would make living in Jefferson County adventurous, exciting, and unforgettable.

As time passed, my attention shifted beyond my small circle.  My guard dropped, and the All-American star baseball player, Ty Connelly, became my new focus.  He caught my eye and made me forget who I used to be. I became careless, defying the rules set in place for my family’s safety.  To me, he was worth the risk.  He was the one person who had the power to turn my nightmares into dreams.  Dreams of a future where living was possible again and secrets could be forgotten.  Or could they?

Find out in the exciting conclusion of the Seasons of Jefferson trilogy, Secrets of Spring.

Release Blitz ~ The Consort, Ascension #3, by K.A. Linde


The Consort
Ascension Book 3
By K.A. Linde
Genre: YA Fantasy


After the loss of a friend and false imprisonment in an Eleysian dungeon, Cyrene has no interest in destiny. Her heart was shattered, friends scattered, and her home is nothing but a pretty illusion. Even her magic won’t cooperate.

When all seems lost, she turns to the one person she never thought that she would trust:

Prince Kael.

His darkness mirrors a growing force lurking within her. A struggle she never imagined threatens to consume her. And as friends and foes begin to show their true colors, she starts questioning whether anyone is who they seem. Even herself.



Amazon US | UK


Excerpt

“What do you want from me?” she asked softly, staring down at her hands clasped together. It was the first time in a long time that she felt helpless, and she didn’t like it. It made her want to fight harder.

“Why do I have to want something from you?”

“Because you’re Kael Dremylon.”

“Believe it or not, Cyrene,” he said, his voice drawing nearer, “I have always wanted what is best for you.”

“You’re right. I don’t believe it.”

His hand went to the tie at the end of her plait. He slowly removed it and then trailed his fingers through the braid until her hair was loose once more. It fanned around her face and down her back. She could feel the way he practically breathed her in. And she had to remain ramrod straight and still the whole time. She didn’t trust whatever passed between them when he touched her. And she couldn’t trust him.

“You should,” he whispered into her ear before disappearing completely.

Determined to discover what this means and how to use her newfound abilities, Cyrene sets off for the distant land of Eleysia. An island nation where Affiliates are strictly forbidden from entering.

But the journey is perilous, and the destination may mean utter ruin, as Cyrene comes to learn that everything she’s been told her whole life – about her court, her homeland, and even herself—are bound in a beautiful lie.
