Unstoppable by S.R. Johannes *Blog Tour* Grace' Favorite Things

After everything that has happened, Grace moves to the Everglades to live with her grandmother, Birdee, and hang out with old man Rex, Birdee's "friend with benefits". Grace quickly befriends Dylan, Rex's nephew, and Dylan's girlfriend, Sadie, who is a die-hard teen activist. Sadie spends her time leading protests against the roadside zoos that run rampant in Florida with a total disregard for animals or the flimsy law.

One day while out in the marshes of the Everglades, Grace and her friends rescue an abused—and endangered—Florida panther. She and Birdee spend time rehabilitating the animal. But when the panther runs off, Grace follows it to Uncle Bob's, a large roadside zoo they all have been protesting. One that is illegally filled with a variety of endangered and exotic animals. Before she can rescue the panther, she and her friends are kidnapped by the ruthless owner and dragged deep into the Everglades for a hunting challenge. 

Only this time, Grace is the prey. 

During a sick game of cat and mouse, Grace and her friends are offered one chance at survival, but only if they reach civilization before being caught. With a small head start and very little supplies, only time and skill stand between the hunter and the hunted. But out in the Everglades, there may be more dangers than Grace realizes.

Against all odds, Grace must make it out alive and win, or everything she holds dear could be lost.

If you don't know I adore these books! Grace is an amazing character and I heart her so... today I have for you her favorite things... so sit back and delve a little more into Grace from Unstoppable!

My (Grace Wells) Favorite Things! 

1. Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen.

So my dad read to me from this book a lot, and it was his favorite. I started reading it to be closer to him, and realized the main character was a lot like me :) Wilderness survival junkie and all! 

2. Cinn-o-buns

There's nothing better than a hot one of these babies! The ones at my mom's diner aren't bad, especially with all that cream cheese :)

3. Spicy Cheetos!

This one's pretty self-explanatory. Spicy. Cheetos. If it weren't for these bad boys, I wouldn't have the energy necessary to fight half the bear poaching, ebuilding bad guys I do ;)

4. My dad's famous homemade chocolate mousse

My dad came up with this recipe for dessert one night when I was little, and he made it for me whenever I had a bad day :) There's even caramel swirls in it! 

5. Monty Python 

The kings of all comedy! Dad and I would watch their movies all the time, especially "The Holy Grail." There isn't a moment where "tis but a flesh wound" isn't appropriate ;)

And last but certainly not least…..

6. Moon-pies!!! 

These are heavenly pastries of marshmallow madness! The cornerstone of my diet and one of my true loves in life (other than Mo, of course), Moon-pies are just plainly fantastic. Birdee prefers the chocolate mint crunchies, but I love the double decker chocolates.

Make sure you pick up your copy today and if you haven't started the series yet well... get on it you won't be disappointed :)

Under Different Stars (Kricket #1)

Book Blurb:
All she wants is a home, but can she find one...UNDER DIFFERENT STARS

Kricket Hollowell is normally not one to wish upon stars; she believes they’re rarely in her favor. Well versed at dodging caseworkers from Chicago’s foster care system, the past few years on her own have made Kricket an expert at the art of survival and blending in. With her 18th birthday fast approaching, she dreams of the day when she can stop running and find what her heart needs most: a home.

Trey Allairis hates Earth and doubts that anyone from his world can thrive here. What he’s learning of Kricket and her existence away from her true home only confirms his theory. But, when he and Kricket lie together under the stars of Ethar, counting them all may be easier than letting her go.

Kyon Ensin’s secrets number the stars; he knows more about Kricket's gifts than anyone and plans to possess her because of them. He also knows she’s more valuable than any fire in the night sky. He’ll move the heavens and align them all in order to make her his own.

When everything in their world can be broken, will Kricket rely upon love to save her under different stars?

Excerpt:
Water swirls around me as I open my eyes. I shiver, realizing I’m in Trey’s arms. He’s standing chest deep in crystal blue water with Wayra pacing on the bank only steps away. Clutching Trey closer to me, my cheek remains on his shoulder. Watching a bead of water slip down his powerful neck, I hear Jax say, “She’s waking up.”
Trey, cupping his hand in the water, pours some of it over my hair. It drips down the sides of my face, cooling me. “Let’s get her out. I’ll get the visor and we can check her vitals.”
As Trey wades out of the pond with me in his arms, I try to lift my head from his shoulder. It makes me dizzy so I lay it back. It’s then I notice that I’m only in my bra and underwear. A blush creeps into my cheeks as I hug Trey tighter to me. Wayra meets us on the bank, draping a blanket over us. Trey sits down with me on his lap. He leans against a tree trunk holding me securely to his chest. Peeking at his face, he seems angry as he smoothes my hair back from my face.
Hurrying over with the visor that looks like grandma goggles, Trey sets them on my eyes. Everything is green as I gaze around at the water in front of us. Flashing green lights and readouts occupy the peripherals of the glasses, but the information is running faster than I can possibly read it.
“Ho!” Jax exclaims next to me.
Immediately, Trey’s arms tighten on me as he barks out, “What? How bad is it?”
“Naw, it’s not bad…it’s just…Kricket…” Jax breathes, like he’s in awe. “Look at this brain activity…it’s massive.”
“What do you mean?” Trey asks with relief in his tone.
Jax grins. “She’s lighting everything up. Look at her frontal lobe…it’s off the charts.”
“What does that mean? Is she healthy?” Trey growls.
Jax nods enthusiastically. “She’s healthy! We didn’t fry her with heat stroke, that’s for sure. Or, if we did, she’s got more brain activity than anyone I’ve ever seen to compensate for it,” he replies, sounding seriously geeked about it.
“Those things aren’t broken, are they?” Trey asks speculatively.
“No…here.” Jax pulls them off my face. “Wayra, come here.”
Wayra walks over and Jax puts the glasses on his eyes. “See! He’s normal, well, normal for him. See how it doesn’t light up in these areas?” he points out to Trey.
“Yes.”
“Now watch this,” he says, taking the glasses off of Wayra, he places them back on my face. “See? It’s like Christmas in Chicago with all those lights,” Jax says proudly.
“So that means she’s smart?”
Jax beams. “Yeah, she’s smart! She’s brilliant! There’s no telling what she can do.”
“If she’s so smart, why did she run until she almost popped? Why didn’t she just tell us she needed to rest?” Wayra asks derisively.
“Personality flaw,” Trey replies. “She’s going to show us that she’s not weak.”
“She’s sitting right here,” I murmur, pulling the glasses off my face and handing them to Jax.

Review:

When I sit down to read a book I want to be pulled from my everyday life and into the characters world where I can live and breath their pains, joys, and horrors with them. I love being transported and Under Different Stars did exactly that.

The setting/plot:

Peppered with sci-fi, lots of action, romance, humor, and a dystopian government this book really has it all!
- Under Different Stars takes place on both Earth and an alternate planet called Ethar which lends to the sci-fi feeling. However, if you're leery of reading sci-fi you should know that Amy writes it in such a way that ANY reader can enjoy and understand. Her colorful descriptions of the people and places, especially on Ethar, help you picture this world without the overwhelming need for a science degree. Amy has this effortless way of writing where you feel like you are there with her characters. Her world building is so easy to digest no matter how complicated the setting might seem.
- As the blurb eludes, Kricket is valuable and the means that many will go to have her on their side is extreme. This political intrigue (the dystopian element) at play in the story is really interesting too. This is what runs the story line and brings in a lot of action sequences. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the military scenes.
- Not your typical love a first site romance, Under Different Stars still sizzles with romantic tension. I was about 20% in when I told a blogger I was pretty sure we were going to have a new book boyfriend at the end of this book. I was right. Let's just say there are a few water scenes I would have happily replaced Kricket in ;)

The characters:

This is my favorite part of Under Different Stars. The characters.
- The camaraderie between soldiers Trey, Jax and Wayra is done perfectly. You like these guys and can see their friendship as soldiers and men. They bring a lot of humor to the story.
- Kricket is a tough fighter with just enough vulnerability to make her real. Watching her trust and friendships grow with Trey, Jax and Wayra is a fun ride. She is at once a thorn in their side and a valuable ally.
- Trey and Kyon are two men on a mission with two very different purposes but one ultimate goal - bring Kricket home. This is another Amy Bartol specialty, you will find yourself loving and hating the 'bad' guy! You will also probably find  yourself with a new addition to your book boyfriend collection.

I highly recommend Under Different Stars to you guys. I think you will find it to be a great read that is different from anything else out there. As always Amy leaves me begging for more and I'm so honored I get to share the Indie book world with someone as talented as she is.

About Amy

Website/blog | Facebook | Goodreads | Twitter | Amazon | Pinterest


I live in Michigan with my husband and our two sons. My family is very supportive of my writing. When I’m writing, they often bring me the take-out menu so that I can call and order them dinner. They listen patiently when I talk about my characters like they’re  real. They rarely roll their eyes when I tell them I’ll only be a second while I finish writing a chapter…and then they take off their coats. They ask me how the story is going when I surface after living for hours in a world of my own making. They have learned to accept my “writing uniform” consisting of a slightly unflattering pink fleece jacket, t-shirt, and black yoga pants. And they smile at my nerdy bookishness whenever I try to explain urban fantasy to them. In short, they get me, so they are perfect and I am blessed.

Blog tour - "Cruentus: Rise to Power by L.S.Broomfield

Cruentus: Rise to Power

Book 1, The Cruentus Series

By LS Broomfield

A prophecy of old continued to burn in the embers of time; long left dormant until the Cruentus family rose above all others as darkness ascended the lands. Greed and deception were the name of the game, and Arturo Cruentus would stop at nothing as he concocted the ultimate scheme to get everything he wanted. No price was too high. The scene was set, the pieces strategically placed. The Gallo family could not come against him, and in the end Guido and Palmiria Gallo would come out the biggest losers, watching their only daughter, Emiliana, be taken away to render a debt settled.

Young Emiliana Gallo, a victim of circumstance, was thrust into a world she did not understand and forced to marry a man she did not know. But what no one expected, not even Arturo, was that Emiliana and his son, Donato, would fall in love against all odds. For Arturo, love made one weak, but for his son, it was love at first sight. Donato became an opportunist in his father’s dirty schemes and did everything in his power to ensure the woman he admired for so long not only took his name in marriage, but also fell in love with him. Donato wanted it all, his gamble paid off richly, and he achieved both marriage and love. However, on the day they said ‘I do’ and the Cruentus and Gallo families were joined, Emiliana was ripped from their home like a thief in the night.

An unknown force too unsettled to let the vision spill and strengthen the Cruentus family decided to do the unthinkable—double-cross the Cruentus family. Rage and disdain fuelled Donato and Arturo. Though their reasons were very different-their goal unified them. They squared off with the leader of the Russian Coven to take back Emiliana, and in the end the Russian coven paid the highest price as the leader's blood was spilled in retribution for his crime at the hands of Arturo. News spread quickly to the Magia Council, and before long Arturo was called before them to answer for his crime of murder unjustly. The Ancients of the roundtable at Mount Blanc, the mountain range bordering Italy and France, was now enacted as they listened to the tale that had unfolded. Little did they know that they were a part of the grand scheme Arturo Cruentus shrewdly planned for the ultimate betrayal.

About the Author:

L.S. Broomfield lives in God’s country – Central Labrador, Canada. She wasn’t born there, but it’s where she and her family call home. Born and raised in Hawkes Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, L.S. is  published author who is currently working on book two of the Cruentus series, a series of tales about the Cruentus family; namely, Dragos Cruentus, who who will make his appearance in the second book. She is full of talent and takes a fresh look on the paranormal world.

As a child, Lisa always wanted to write. She didn’t have any predilection of what to write, as long as she was writing – she was happy. She remembers growing up and traveling to Flower’s Cove to visit family and letting her imagination soar as the pen sketched across the paper. At such a young age, it was perhaps mostly incoherent thoughts tossed across the pages but still for all, it was a desire even then to write and tell a story. 

As an adult, Lisa met an amazing group of individuals, and with their support and encouragement was brave enough to write and let people read the stories in her mind. While writing is one thing, allowing others to read the words one has spent hours putting to paper is entirely another thing. It opens the author wide to both praise and criticism. Lisa found it to be scary, yet wonderfully exciting.

Lisa has many people to thank for helping her to reach where she is today, but none of this would be possible without the support of her husband, Shawn, and her amazing kids, Brittany, Daniel, and Jacob. These people fill her world with color and make it worth writing – they enable her to do what she loves.

You can find Cruentus: Rise to Power on Amazon

Now on to today's interview.

      1. Did you always know you wanted to be a writer or did you want to be something else? 

I don’t know if in my mind I wanted to be a ‘writer’ as such, but I always wanted and loved to write. I never clearly defined that in my mind.  As a little girl, I’m sure all my hopes and dreams of future jobs matched many others. We wanted to be doctors, lawyers, and mechanics; but no matter where I decided to go, yes, I have always loved to write.
 

2. How long does it take you to write a book from start to finish?

It really depends on a number of factors as to how long it will take from start to finish. For instance, my short story, “Souls Caught Fire” in my joint collaboration with author Ashley Nemer, Soul Mates, it took me two weeks.  For Cruentus: Rise to Power it took me about thirteen months from start to finally writing out the last sentence.

3. How do you come up with themes for your stories?

For me, it could be a picture that stokes the embers of creativity, or it could be a name or a face that does it. Sometimes it’s just the budding of an idea in my mind; more of a “that’d be pretty cool to write about”. 

For “Souls Caught Fire” within Soul Mates it was based on a black and white picture in a bar. It gave the illusion of a 1950’s bar and the woman drew your attention immediately. I had to tell her story. Fierce and beautiful.

Cruentus: Rise to Power was based on an idea for Dragos Cruentus. I started writing him loosely in a writing group, and he took on a life of his own. Granted, Rise to Power is not about Dragos but his parents, Donato and Emiliana, as well as his grandfather, Arturo. Book one provides what I believe to be a very necessary back story for the Cruentus family.

4. Do you have a schedule of when you write? 

I would like to be able to say I’m very regimented in my writing, but I am not. I’m like most moms—busy. I have work and children, and their extracurricular activities, so it makes it hard to devote a certain amount of time each day to my writing. I write whenever I can, and as their schedules allow me to.

5. How are you able to balance other aspects of your life with your writing?

Some days with great difficulty, but being the multi-tasking mother, I make it happen. I try to practice what I like to call ‘mental health time’ and use that to do things just for me, which usually ends up being writing. As well, a lot of the times I get to write are because my husband and children support what I love to do. They understand that mom has crazy ideas and has to get it down. Without their support in a busy home, writing wouldn’t be possible.

6. What elements do you think make a great story line? 

For myself, I would have to say great characters. A character with depth adds an allurement to a reader. I think a story could have an amazing plot, but if their characters are un-relatable then I think it causes a reader to lose interest. So while a strong plot is very necessary, relatable characters are as well. Don’t be afraid to give a character depth. Not all characters are going to be brooding, strong men or meek and mild females.

7. What was the hardest thing about writing a book?

Besides finishing it? I would have to say it is finding the time to devote to its completion, as well as turning off my mind to other home related things. That would have to be my greatest battle sometimes.

8. How many books have you written so far? Do you have a favorite? 

To date, I have written 2 short stories, “Firefly” (on sale within Evernight Vol 2 by author Allison Cassatta) and “Souls Caught Fire” (within Soul Mates jointly with author Ashley Nemer), and 1 novella, Cruentus: Rise to Power.

I loved each one that I’ve written all for entirely different reasons, but if I had to pick it would be “Souls Caught Fire”.

9. Do you have a favorite character?

My favourite all-time character is not one that I’ve written yet—Dragos Cruentus.

10. Where do you write?

I don’t have an office, so I just go wherever it’s quieter. It usually ends up being my bedroom.

11. When deciding on how to publish, what directed you to the route you took? 

I searched through many publishing firms and took a lot of advice from my friend and fellow author regarding the self publishing route. In the end, I decided on self publishing for Cruentus: Rise to Power for the sole purpose of maintaining my rights as an author.

12. Have you gotten feedback from family about your book(s)? What do they think?

My family are terribly excited for me. My children, the ones old enough, are so excited. I printed off a copy of Rise to Power and gave to my fifteen year old, Daniel, to read. He was pretty impressed that he had the very first copy. My husband says I have so much talent. It’s such a prideful and wonderful feeling when the people you love the most support you so beautifully.

13. What kinds of things do you like to do outside of writing?

I love to travel whenever I get the opportunity, but one of my all-time favourite things to do is watch my boys play soccer. I’m an absolute soccer mom. I’m the mom in the stands screaming out to them, supporting them and pushing them harder to do what they love most.  Then there is four wheeling. I love off road riding with my family.

14. What kinds of advice would you give to someone who wants to start writing? 

First and foremost, get a journal and keep it with you. It’s amazing how sometimes hand writing in a notebook or journal can push creativity forward. Don’t set a deadline for yourself. Don’t stress if you can’t write every day, keep your journal close and write down random things that pop in your mind. You’ll be amazed how much you can write based on one sentence. Be organized—keep key details of your characters, down to the eye color and hair color, in one spot for easy access. Don’t over think how your story will play out. I’ve learned very quickly that our characters, once they have begun speaking, have full control over that. And finally, have fun with your writing!

16. What is your favorite book? Favorite author? Do you have an author that inspired/inspires you to write? 

My favourite book is I Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. Favorite author, I would have to say Stephenie Meyer because once I read her books, I couldn’t stop reading books in general. I needed more and hence began my love of books. As for who inspired me to write, I believe it’s a collective between each author I’ve read. It ranges from childhood books to J.D. Robb, Stephenie Meyer, Laurell K. Hamilton, J.R. Ward, and the list could go on. 

17. Do you have any go to people when writing a book that help you with your story lines as well as editing, beta reading and such? 

I go to two people—Tevya and Ashley. They have been my support base through this journey in terms of editing, reading, and butt-kicking.

18. Are you working on anything now?

Currently, I’m working on an M/M short story. It does not have an official name, so for now I’ll just call it Blake and Ashton. It’s a story of love, loss, surviving through that loss, and finding love again.

Dark Genesis Tour Stop Excerpt & Giveaway

Check out this amazing excerpt from Dark Genesis!

Her stomach fluttered, but Alyssa quickly realized that it wasn’t the result of her lovey-dovey feelings so much as the teleporting.

The next thing Alyssa knew, they were at the city Frankenstein.

And they were surrounded by screams.

Before Alyssa could properly orient herself, a man had leapt on top of her.  His jaws snapped in her face, saliva dripping from them like a wild animal.  She recognized the elongated canines instantly.

Suddenly the man’s body was melting and she was grabbing hold of Flax’s hand, who pulled her to her feet.

“What’s going on?” Alyssa asked, looking around.  Vampires seemed to be everywhere.  Eric was beheading them left and right, Parker shooting them with arrows through their hearts.  But there were just too many, and it was dark out, making it even more difficult to determine how many and what they were trying to accomplish.

“Frankenstein is obviously under attack,” Flax replied, handing her a wooden arrow from Parker’s quiver.  “Stay alive.”

Alyssa began to attack vampires with fervor, but she couldn’t help but wonder why this was happening.

“We have to get to Gray,” she said after stabbing a female vampire who’d tried to jump her.  “He might know what’s going on here.”

Parker glanced back at her.  “Me and Eric can cover you if you guys make a run for it.”

“We’re not going to just leave you,” Alyssa protested.

“We’ll be right behind you.”

Alyssa frowned, mulling it over for a moment.

Vessa grabbed her shoulder.  “Come on.  We can’t just sit here in this battlefield.  We have to move.  They can handle themselves.”

Reluctantly, Alyssa nodded.  “Alright, let’s go.  This way.”  She led them up a side street after deciding against an alley where they could easily be ambushed.  She sidestepped a fire, and did a double-take when she saw a man pulling himself over kindling, completely engulfed by flames.  She took a hesitant step toward him before he dissolved, and she realized that he had been a vampire.  Looking back, she saw Parker and Eric keeping up with them pretty well, thanks in part to Ambrosia, who let loose with flames from overhead that the vampires seemed to dislike quite a bit.  The sight made her feel better, and she focused her attention on where they were going.

Meet Jen from Never Forget by Emma Hart! Blog Tour Stop!!

Happy Monday Supa readers!  Hope you had a fabulous weekend and read something amazing!

Today I get to chat with Jen, the sassy, fun loving BFF, from Never Forget by Emma Hart!

First, let me share the new cover with you in case you haven't seen it...

Buy Never Forget

Kinda steamy huh? Never Forget is the first New Adult Romance by the fabulous Emma Hart.

Set in England, Emma's homeland, it has a fun British feel.  The story is a sweet, funny, smexy and heart tugging look at a family and love.  The story is fun, sassy, and down right sweet as can be.  Filled with promises of a long lasting love, former love 'em and leave 'em boy Alec becomes smitten with smart city girl Lexy.

Lexy has no use for another playboy in her life. Her brother Bing, great secondary character!, is a major playboy and she is determined that she won't ever fall for that. Lexy wasn't expecting Alec though! The moment she lays her eyes on him she is swooning. However, when she finds out about his bad boy past she makes it clear she is not up for a summer romance.

Soon Lexy realizes the heart wants what it wants. Will she be able to trust Alec with her heart and let herself fall? Will Alec be able to prove himself to Lexy and get her to give in?

A fun story about love and family. This story includes a whole cast of well written characters who will enchant you with their personalities.

The 411 on Jen:

Name: Jennifer Mason
Age: 18
Birthday: 24th October 
Hair Color: Blonde hair with pink flash under her fringe 
Eye Color: Blue
Height: about 5'6






Hi Jen!

Hi, Michele!

So I know you hadn't seen Lexy in a long long while.  Tell me, what did you think when you heard her voice on the other end of the line calling you?

I was so excited. Like bounce off the walls and hold onto your knickers excited. We did so much together as kids, and I couldn't believe it when Vi said they were coming back. I waited in like a total loser for her to call, but don't tell her that.

What would you have spent your summer doing if Lexy hadn't been in town?

Watching Alec and Carl surfing while being bored out of my brains. They're pretty to look at but so boring to watch surf.

Tell me how did you and Carl meet?

We actually met in school, and in a place like Lilac Bay it's hard not to know people for a long time. So yeah, we were friends before he started trying to seduce me. It worked, but I put up a helluva fight.

You seemed against Alec and Lexy dating at first..what were you thinking?

I was thinking that if Alec hurt her I'd string his balls from the village hall.

Got any dirty secrets on Lexy from when you two were growing up together?

Oh, I have loads. There was the time her skirt was tucked into her knickers when we were ten and she didn't know. In my defence, I didn't know either. Well, not for that long anyway. I think that’s the dirtiest. I was actually the wild child.. Can you believe that? * grins *

I have to mention the whole love/hate vibe you have going on with Bing. Is he like a big brother to you or is there a little attraction there?

There's about as much attraction there as there is for a fish to a shark. Okay, he's as hot as an Indian
summer. We all know that. Mr. Cheeky Grin and flexy muscles, but that's about all the appeal. He has the personality of a sea anemone and there is absolutely no love between us. It's all hate. What book were you reading to get the love vibe? Ew.

What are your plans this Fall?

I'm going to London, baby! Unfortunately it's for University, but I'm still going to London.

Is Carl following you to London for school?  If not, how will you cope being apart?

No, he's not following me to London. He has a job working on a farm near the Bay. I think we'll be okay being apart. At least, I hope we will be.


Random questions:

Favorite song to dance to out clubbing?

If I can move to it I'll take it.

Favorite drink?

Vino. Duh.

Fav. memory with hanging with Lexy, Carl & Alec this summer?

The sandcastle competition. I say that, because it's the moment I truly believed Alec was in love with Lexy, and goddamn it all he drives me crazy, but I bloody love that adopted brother of mine.
Not legally adopted. More I-need-to-keep-an-eye-on-your-crazy-ass-adopted.

Thanks for stopping by Jen...I hope we get to see more of you in the future!

Well friends this SupaGurl has got to run!  I hope you will grab yourself a copy of Never Forget!
