I'm really excited to be featuring this new book on my blog today The Monster Junkies - An American Family Odessy: Being a Normal Family Is a State of Mind is a new offering from authors Erik Daniel Shein and Theresa A Gates. The 2013 Benjamin Franklin Awards called it a "great debut fantasy novel". 5 STAR Review from The Children's Book Review: It will keep you interested, invested in caring about these characters, through the end. Erik Daniel Shein and Theresa A Gates have created a fascinating world of otherworldly beasts, cared for by an eccentric but close and loving family. The stage is set for adventure. Very highly recommended for pre- to early teen readers and a valuable addition to fiction teaching kindness and understanding in a way young people won't find "preachy." Unique and compelling, The Monsterjunkies would make excellent summer reading. _______________ Personally, this looks like just the kind of book I would have loved to have my daughter read when she was a young teen. I've put it on my "to review list" as one I definitely want to check out.

I am super thrilled to show you the beautiful cover for my newest and upcoming novel, Entertaining Angels. Again, my cover artist was Natasha Brown, and she is super talented. She brought my disjointed vision to life, and I don't think I'll ever be able to thank her properly. I can't wait to publish it, which I'm hoping will be in May. That's what I'm estimating anyway. But, I couldn't wait any longer to show you my beautiful cover! About Entertaining Angels: Madison Andrews can’t face her reflection in the mirror. All she sees is a big, fat nobody. Yet, deep inside she longs for something more, something that’s not skin deep. Along comes Zach, the new guy in school. He’s smoking hot and totally out of her league. She somehow catches his eye, and he makes her feel beautiful for once. But just as she gets close to Zach, her nerdy best friend, Chase, won’t let Madison doubt her true beauty, no matter how many meals she skips. Even as Madison begins to realize that she is more than what she thinks, darker forces are at work, darker than the lies and mocking from her peers, stopping her from amounting to her full potential. Can Madison find true happiness in her own skin? Are you a book reviewer? If so, please sign up for an ARC (Advanced Reading Copy) of my novel here. About Emerald: Emerald Barnes graduated with a B.A. in English with an emphasis on Creative Writing at Mississippi University for Women. She resides in a small town in Mississippi and has the accent to prove it. She mainly writes suspense/thrillers in the YA genre, but she dabbles in other genres and her books are enjoyed by all ages! She's constantly working on new novels and has more ideas than she knows what to do with. She blogs which takes up more of her time than she anticipates but loves it so very much! She's also a volunteer at the World Literary Cafe which is amazing, and she is a crazy grammar nazi who proofreads novels! She's an auntie to three beautiful nieces and two handsome nephews who take up the other half of her time, but she couldn't imagine spending her time in any other way! She's a Whovian, a little bit of a nerd, a reader, a writer, and a family-oriented person. God is number One in her life, and she thanks Him continuously for His love and favor.

This post is primarily for my YA author followers. As an author who's hit the Kindle Bestseller list several times with both Finding My Escape and Finding My Way Back, I know how difficult it can be to get the word out there about your books. There are a lot of promotional opportunities, but let's face it, most of us are on a pretty tight budget, and it's hard to justify spending $100 and not get any sales. I would like to announce that I now have promotional opportunities on this page that can be purchased for $5 through fiverr.com. Services include:
While I can't promise you sales as a result of my promotions, I CAN guarantee:
