Date Published: 10-20-2018

 

 

Sent to live with her strict, aloof, and uncaring uncle after her parents are killed in a car accident, twelve-year-old orphan Alyssa McCarthy longs for the life she used to have—one filled with fun and love. Then one stormy night, a message appears in the raindrops on the window that will change everything.

"Your life will never be the same again, as magic will interfere."

Before long, Alyssa is kidnapped by Master Beau, a banished sorcerer with a mysterious connection to her who can only regain his power by weakening hers. Suddenly hurled into a world of wizardry filled with fantastical beasts and marvelous technology beyond her wildest imagination, Alyssa must defeat Master Beau if she ever wants to get home again. But Master Beau will stop at nothing, including using Alyssa’s friends, to ensure he is triumphant.

 

INTERVIEW

Is There a Message in Your Novel That You Want Readers to Grasp?

 

 When times are rough, don’t stop believing in yourself, whether you are living with an abusive person or having to fight danger.

 

Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?

 

 In the beginning, it’s getting my plot ideas. I also get writer’s block and can be slow with my progress.

 

How many books have you written and which is your favorite?

 

 

There are currently 3 books in my series. My favorite is the third one.

 

If You had the chance to cast your main character from Hollywood today, who would you pick and why?

 

 I don’t know. But I am super-protective and controlling of my ideas. So, I would be extremely picky on whom to cast.

 

When did you begin writing?

 

 When I was only 6. I stopped at age 10, and then returned to it when I was almost 16.

 

How long did it take to complete your first book?

 

 The original edition was published in 2013. It took almost 2 years to write. Then I updated it in 2018 and republished it as a new edition and title.

 

Did you have an author who inspired you to become a writer?

 

No. But I do get a lot of my ideas from J.K. Rowling. People have constantly compared my books to “Harry Potter.”

 

What is your favorite part of the writing process?

 

 Worldbuilding and writing heartwarming moments between different characters.

 

Describe your latest book in 4 words.

 

Currently in the works.

 

 

 

Can you share a little bit about your current work or what is in the future for your writing?

 

The 4^th installment, as of now, is about chaos and my main character possibly going insane against her will.

PROMO Blitz: Distant Secrets by Richard L. Cole #promo #autobiography #nonfiction #distantsecrets #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours

 

Autobiography

Date Published: February 14, 2023

Publisher: ‎MindStir Media

 

Do you ever wonder who you really are? Richard Cole was front page news a few weeks after his birth in 1944, but this was something he never knew. He did know he was adopted and he did wonder who he really was. But, as a young adult, he wondered much more about finding success, a simple goal that seemed so elusive.

He was 19 when he married his high school sweetheart and took off, full speed, into the adult world. Harsh reality and his failure to focus on long-term goals made his desire to succeed just an unlikely dream.

He finally took control of his life and made the climb up to a nice middle-class life. Along with his wife, two really cute kids, and a new suburban home, they were the picture of a perfect little family. Then the dream evaporated and Richard's life began a downward spiral that ended with him alone and subsisting on food stamps and unemployment checks. But Richard had met someone on his way down, someone who stuck with him during the bad times. She gave him a reason to keep trying, and hope that things would get better.

This lighthearted autobiography takes you along on Richard's quest to find success in life and shares his discovery of the distant secrets that surrounded who he really was.

 

"Find yourself getting stuck in a zigzag of life's twists and turns, unsure of where you'll land? Richard Cole certainly has and Distant Secrets maps out his journey through hardships and gains and everything in between. He opens up to share his intimate world of experiences and the "moments of stunning mental clarity" that have guided him along the way."

-J.J. Hebert, USA Today best-selling author

When one finds a bleeding, half-naked, indescribably handsome man in one’s bed, does one…

 

• Scream

• Faint

• Push him back out the window he climbed in

• Bandage his wounds like a sensible bluestocking-in-the-making

Marigold Spencer was never supposed to have a London Season. For heaven’s sake, she was never even supposed to become a lady! The former housemaid of a duke, Marigold is thrust into the limelight when her siblings marry far above their stations. Suddenly faced with the marriage mart, her escort and chaperone is not only one of ton’s most notorious scoundrels**,** but the utterly infuriating man still won’t tell her where he got the knife wound that led him to her bed that night.

Lord Leigh Blakeley's path took a sharp turn from seductive rake to vengeful assassin long ago. Yet when he finally returns home for a visit, he nearly ruins his new sister-in-law’s reputation for good by falling into her bed after a misadventure. Now Leigh finds himself forced to play chaperone to a debutante... one who unexpectedly enchants his cynical heart. And when Leigh foolishly proposes to teach the innocent young Miss Spencer something of the ways of pleasure, he ignites an inferno of passion that quickly turns unquenchable.

When another man presents Miss Spencer with an irresistible proposition, Leigh realizes the desire of his heart is quickly slipping away. Though he's never intended to wed, Leigh finds himself making an offer Miss Spencer can't possibly refuse... or can she?

Getting To My Enough reveals how a broken and damaged girl gained inner peace, affirmed the positive aspects of her life, and embarked on a mission to mentor and motivate women dealing with similar issues.

Welcome to Aetrelys, home of the Seri.

Enpirion, a gifted soldier of his ancient, energy-wielding race, awakens, alone and friendless, in a new home after a terrible ordeal that has left him with both physical and mental scars. Placed back into active service, he finds himself struggling to overcome what he's been through and the problems it has left him with.

With a threat arising from a vastly different domain governed by a unique, chaotic and conflicting energy source, the situation begins to quickly spiral out of control and Piri finds himself having to confront issues with his culture and loyalties, as well as fighting an internal battle with a newly arising realization of who and what he is as he struggles to save everything that he knows from destruction.

About the Author

I was formerly a fashion designer and graphic designer, creating everything from footwear and apparel to tradeshow booths and marketing materials. From the time I've been young, I've held an intimate love for both art and writing. I've spent years working on The Enpirion Project, a fully illustrated fantasy trilogy that has allowed me to merge those together and create something special. There are currently over 700 art pieces and counting with The Piri Project, including everything from concept work and storyboards to illustrations and full digital paintings.

While I work in pencils, acrylics and oils, my true love and the medium I most commonly work with is digital. I spend most of my time in Photoshop CS6 on my trusty 13" Cintiq.

I have 10 years of experience in the fashion industry and over 15 in art and graphic design. Trained for the game industry at DigiPen Institute of Technology, I currently freelance to the industry as well as doing private commissions and contract graphic design work.
