Wishing for You Blog Tour (Book 1) and Giveaway with Elizabeth Langston

  I wish
I Wish by Elizabeth Langston

What Lacey needs is a miracle. What she gets is a genie with rules.

Lacey Linden is hiding the truth of her life—a depressed mom, a crumbling house, and bills too big to pay. While her high school classmates see a girl with a ready smile and good grades, Lacey spends her evenings seeking ways to save her family. On a get-cash-quick trip to the flea market, Lacey stumbles over a music box that seemingly begs her to take it home. She does, only to find it is inhabited by a gorgeous "genie." He offers her a month of wishes, one per day, but there's a catch. Each wish must be humanly possible.

Grant belongs to a league of supernatural beings, dedicated to serving humans in need. After two years of fulfilling the boring wishes of conventional teens, he is one assignment away from promotion to a challenging new role with more daring cases. Yet his month with Lacey is everything that he expects and nothing like he imagines. Lacey and Grant soon discover that the most difficult task of all might be saying goodbye.

The Duality Bridge (Singularity #2)
By Susan Kaye Quinn
Publisher: Susan Kaye Quinn
Published: Aug. 17, 2015
ASIN: B014242I36

Amazon Synopsis:

This is the Second Book in the Singularity Series 

What does it mean to be human? Elijah Brighton is the face of the Human Resistance Movement. He’s the Olympic-level painter who refused an offer of immortality from the ascenders—the human/machine hybrids who run the world—in solidarity with the legacy humans who will never get a chance to live forever. 

Too bad it’s all a complicated web of lies. 

Worse, Eli’s not even entirely human. Few know about the ascenders’ genetic experiments that left him… different. Fewer know about the unearthly fugue state that creates his transcendent art—as well as a bridge that lets him speak to the dead. But the Resistance is the one place he can hide from the ascender who knows everything the fugue can do. Because if Marcus finds him, he’ll either use Eli for his own nefarious purposes… or destroy him once and for all. 

The Duality Bridge is the second book in the Singularity series and the sequel to The Legacy Human. This thrilling new young adult science fiction series explores the intersection of mind, body, and soul in a post-Singularity world.

Christa's Luck Blog Tour Trailer and Giveaway with Jennifer Grais and Michael Grais

Christa's Luck

About Christa's Luck

Inspired by a real horse rescue, Christa’s Luck is a teen fiction novel about Christa’s love for an endangered herd of wild horses and how her special connection with them inspires her to look beyond her own unforgivable mistakes and try again. She rises up to become a horse advocate at fourteen, whose passion and heart move an entire town to take action.

"In Michael and Jennifer Grais’ YA novel, a 13-year-old’s fate intertwines with that of the legendary Lost Herd of wild mustangs that roam the canyons of Nevada. Christa Cassidy knows that she’s lucky. She lives with her parents and older sister on a small ranch in a beautiful part of the world; she has a grandmother who loves her; and she’s expecting a baby sister before the end of the summer. She even has her own horse named Lucky. But like any other teenager, she’s suspended between childhood and adulthood, unsure of her place in the world, at odds with her family, and uncomfortable with the way she looks, talks, acts, and feels. She’s really only at home when she’s sitting on a horse—particularly when she’s trying to track the Lost Herd through the canyons around her home. But when something horrible happens to Lucky, Christa’s world is upended, and things only get worse when it becomes clear that the Bureau of Land Management intends to round up the mustangs. With the help of a strong, troubled horse named Jenner, Christa is determined to figure out what’s going on. She soon finds that she must rein in her own passions as well as her horses, and that she won’t accomplish anything without friends and help." Kirkus Reviews In the vein of The Horse Whisperer and the Black Stallion, Christa’s Luck is an epic adventure story of courage, friendship and freedom.

Cost of Survival (Worth of Souls Book 1)
By Bonnie Paulson
Publisher: Captiva Publishing
Published: July 6, 2015
ASIN: B00W0W5EV6

Amazon Synopsis:

Everything has a price - but is your soul worth your life? 

Anger isn’t an emotion anymore, it’s more of a survival mode I can’t afford to let go. 

My dad predicted World War III would happen in his life, but he died two years before… with my brother… 

…before Mom and I walked in search of refuge from the bombing. 

Strengthened by her faith, Mom never feels alone. But me? I don’t know what to believe or where to turn. Someone once said keep your friends close and your enemies closer, but I disagree. Friends scare me the most. They know me and my mom. Nothing about them is safe. The ones in charge… Control everything… 

Crud, I’ve started crying because I’m scared I won’t survive World War III. But a bigger part of me is scared I will. 

My mom is bleeding in my arms and she’s making me promise to follow her three rules. 

Pray. 

Don’t trust anyone. 

Stay alive. 

How long do I need to break all three? 

***This YA apocalyptic thriller is the first in a three book series. There are adult themes.*** 

CLIFFHANGER ALERT. This is the first book in a continuing series. Think of it like LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring in that the first book sets up the rest of the series. WARNING: This series is filled with emotional twists and panic-inducing action. Proceed with caution. The series is complete.
