Giveaway! Reading Whale NEW E-book Service

A New E-book Deal Service - WIN A KINDLE PAPERWHITE

The amazing Wendy Owen and her equally amazing husband, Josh, have come up with a NEW E-book deal service that is sure to change the way you buy books and learn about authors!

What is the idea behind Reading Whale?

Reading Whale is a special newsletter for people who love books.  As a subscriber to Reading Whale’s daily email we are a point of connection for readers to find the best ebooks, at a savings, while also helping connect you on a more intimate level with the authors you love.

How did the idea begin?

We came up with the idea because as authors, we feel like something is missing. Authors have used similar tools with great results, but felt like we wanted an even deeper connection with our readers.

How will we reach the deeper connection between author and readers?

Not only is Reading Whale’s content hand curated to ensure high quality deals for our subscribers, but we will offer a new unique approach. When we feature an author they will have an author page on our site that will connect readers with other books; if a reader enjoys one author’s books there is a good chance they will enjoy others. We will feature author interviews, giveaways, and even the occasional video that will give us a peek into an authors personality.  We believe that books should a rich and vibrant experience for readers, that is our dream.

When will your website be live?

We are not a corporation with deep pockets. We do not have investors funding us. What we are are a group of authors and readers who believe in this idea and are working hard to invest our own time an money into making the site a success. In order to ensure the world will want this option as much as we think they will, we are in the process of validating the idea. Once we have 2000 subscribers the deal emails will start arriving to your inbox and then we will start construction on the website. At 20,000 subscribers we will launch the website!

Why should you sign up?

Because you love to read great books
Because you love amazing deals
Because we are awesome people and you love supporting awesome people.
Oh yeah, and IT’S FREE to subscribe!

What if you’re an author who wants to submit a book?

We’re not quite there yet. We’re glad you’re excited about our service and hope you keep an eye out on our website, http://readingwhale.com/

Candace Bristol has always been obsessed with comic books, but in a world where the nightly news often mirrors these inked stories, her dreams of becoming a real superhero could actually come true. After being rescued by members of the government’s AdvaNced Genetic EvoLution (ANGEL) Project four years ago, getting recruited for this elite team is all she's wanted. 

Now 18, she's finally reached her goal after years of study and physical training, but little could have prepared her for life as a genetic experiment. As though coming to terms with her new ability to manipulate water isn't tough enough, she never expected to be swept off her feet by one of her fellow recruits. 

With genetic alteration, the threat of physical and mental instability hangs over every superhero like a shadow. When one of their own tumbles over the edge of madness, Candace will have to choose between protecting the world, and saving the one who holds her heart.

SPOTLIGHT & GIVEAWAY : Growing Pains Series Box Set $.99 by K.F. Breene

Title: Growing Pains (series)

Author: K.F. Breene

Genre: New Adult contemporary romance

On the tail-end of her ex-boyfriend crashing through a restraining order and
putting her in the hospital, Krista realizes that the only way to effectively
escape her past is to put distance between it. She gets her life back on track
in San Francisco with a job that has limitless potential.



Unfortunately, to achieve her dreams, she must brave the star of the company;
a charming and handsome salesman that isn’t used to the word no. Krista tries to
run from him at every turn, but his pull continually sucks her back in; her hesitancy
to trust the only thing saving her from being another notch on a bedpost.



Sean never has to try with women. He's the type of guy to jump in with both
feet, get bored, and sprint right back out. But when a geeky new hire stumbles
through the company, befuddling him with a keen intellect he doesn’t expect, he
starts to lose his way. Before he knows it, all his efforts are concentrated
around trying to capture the interest of the only woman to run when he tries to
deliver a line. As she opens up, so does he, landing him in a terrain as
disconcerting as it is invigorating.

The growing pains box set is currently on sale for 99 cents on Amazon, for a limited time! That's three books for under a buck! 

A wine country native, K.F. Breene moved to San Francisco for college just shy of a decade ago to pursue a lifelong interest in film. As she settled into the vibrant city, it quickly became apparent that, while she thought making and editing films was great fun, she lacked cinematic genius. For that reason, her career path quickly changed direction. Her next goal was a strange childhood interest, conjured at the dining room table while filling out a form. For some reason, her young self wanted to be an accountant. Thinking on it now, she often wonders how she had any friends. Regardless, it was the direction she finally took.



While she could wrangle numbers with the best of 'em, and even though she wore the crown as the most outspoken, belligerent accountant in the world, her mind got as stuffy as her daily routine. It was here that she dusted off her creative hat and began writing. Now she makes movies in her head, not worried about lighting, shutter speed or editing equipment. Turns out, a computer is much easier to manage than a crowd of actors. She should know, she was an actor at one time.
