Tomorrow the prequel short story goes on sale. (Link to The Bookworm's Make Over  is to the left <- )

How much on sale can a 99 cent story go?

Free. That's how much on sale.

From July 31st until August 4th you can check out the short with no cost to you and decide if you want to invest in the rest of the story.

More prequel shorts are coming.  Next week (or two) will be Gloria and her boyfriend's meet cute. After that prequel #3 which is as of yet undecided. Could be Mark and Penny, Kyle, Grace, or Jennifer.

After that the three shorts will be bundled together (in case you want to wait).

Regardless, I doubt you'll regret this investment in the young adult story.

Book Review - The Stolen Twin - Michelle Pariza Wacek

-

There are few books that draw me in like this one did.  From the very beginning we learn that Kit had a twin sister that was kidnapped by fairies, or so she dreams. She also has an ex-boyfriend, Tommy, who is clearly still crazy about her. There's a few reasons why Kit doesn't do serious relationships, even though the reader can tell she wishes otherwise with Tommy.  Our main character has issues stemming from her missing sister and a genetic disorder - Cystic Fibrosis.  She doesn't want Tommy to end up resenting her as her disease progresses. So she flirts with David Terry, eventually agreeing to go on a date with him even though a mysterious stranger warned her against him.  Even though she initially had a bad feeling about him. On their date, she inexplicably revealed details about her life that she hadn't even shared with her roommates or Tommy.  Despite their connection, Kit feels uncomfortable when David comes on too strong.  For him, &quo

Book Review - The Girl Without Magic - Megan O'Russell

The funny thing about reading something from somebody you sorta-kinda know (I went to high school with Megan O'Russell's husband, but I have not met this fearless author, yet.) is that there are tiny moments in books where you catch reality sneaking into fiction. And it is amazing!  Like Chapters 11 through   where I can see details and dialogue inspired by real life adventures (and possibly conversations/thoughts). And yes, authors will pull inspiration from their lives from little or major conversations.  In this case, inspiration from her travels. The Girl Without Magic  (The Chronicles of Maggie Trent - Book One) released at the perfect moment.  So many books that I've put my hands on (or downloaded) lately have had fairy tale orgins.  Obvious fairy tale origins. I am so sick of obvious fairy tales reimaginings, and sadly they seem popular lately and most likely won't be leaving my TBR pile any time soon.  This piece of young adult paranormal fantasy is

Free the Words! - The Impact of #Cockygate

-
Disclaimer - This is a lengthy read.  There is a TL;DR version near the bottom. For a good chunk of the month of May I have been diligently - and at times not so diligently watching the #cockygate drama unfolding on Twitter. I've probably neglected a few things in as this battle began and continued to unfold. What is #cockygate? An author - who shall not be named - decided to trademark a word for her ebook series of ... romance novels.  Once the mark was approved she sent cease and desist letters to a handful of authors testing the waters before going after her real target, Tara Crescent, a menage MFM erotica book author. *Note* These other authors, with similar titles - NOT series titles as the trademark pertains to, Titles - either had to pull their books, retitle their books, or face the wrath of #CockyAuthor and her *ahem* lawyer. Now, while all that seems within her legal rights, #CockyAuthor forgot a few things.  Her series title (what was trademarked) was not
