Excerpt and Giveaway: Sworn to Transfer by Terah Edun

Sworn to Transfer by Terah Edun

BOOK TWO

Terah Edun

(The Courtlight Series #2)

Publication date: September 20, 2013

Synopsis:

Companion trainee Ciardis Weathervane has won the friendship of the royal heir and saved his claim to the throne. Yet her interference in the inheritance rights leaves more harm done than good. With the death of the Princess Heir, the Ameles forest – the home of the kith, is dying. The inhabitants of the forest, magic-wielding non-humans, are defiant. They have not forgotten their long struggles nor are they content to watch as the last of their lands perish. As humans begin to die in gruesome deaths, the Emperor dispatches the royal heir to the forests with the solution to the kith concerns.

With enemies closing ranks in Sandrin, Ciardis can little afford to leave the city’s nest of vipers to take on a new task. But she’s given no choice when her loyalty to the crown and courts are called into question.

To keep the Companions’ Guild happy and the favor of the Imperial Court, Ciardis will be tested in frightening new ways, especially when she’s faced with an obstacle that could risk the lives of her friends and the family she never thought she had.

This second novel continues the story of Ciardis Weathervane from Sworn To Raise.

Blog Tour: The Path of the Fallen by Dan O’Brien

As a side note, those of you who want to see my review of The Path of the Fallen can do so here.  I loved the book so much that when Dan O’Brien contacted me to ask if I’d be interested in the tour, I agreed to help out!

Welcome to the sixth day of The Path of the Fallen blog tour. It will run until July 8th and will feature excerpts, new author interviews each day, character interviews, and a casting call by the author. But first, here is the obligatory blurb about the novel to settle you into this sprawling fantasy world:
Set against the backdrop of the tundra and a world desperate for hope, the journey of a young man, E’Malkai, will come to define a realm that has been broken by an evil that does not sleep. A bitter betrayal, and the inception of a war that will consume the world, forces E’Malkai to confront the past and undertake a pilgrimage that is his birthright. Follow him on his journey and be transformed. 
An interview with the characters from The Path of the Fallen:
As I sit down at my computer, I am struck by the eerie presence of someone behind me. Leaving behind the blinking cursor, I realize that the cast of my latest novel, The Path of the Fallen, are standing behind me. E’Malkai, sullen and burdened by the weight of the pilgrimage he has undertaken, stands behind the immovable figure of his Umordoc guardian, Elcites. Arms crossed over his chest, his gaze unsettles me despite how much time I have spent in his company whilst writing The Path of the Fallen. Arile, proud hunter of the north, leans against his spear and inspects the wall with a carefree look upon his face. Fe’rein, shrouded in the darkness that complements him so well, seethes with a dark mix of irritation and confidence. Continue reading

Giveaway: Starlet’s Web & Starlet’s Run by Carla J. Hanna

Well, it’s now my first giveaway of the new year!  About time, right?  So let’s jump into things:

PRIZES

One prize pack consisting of print copies of Starlet’s Web and Starlet’s Run, the first two books in the Starlet series by Carla J. Hanna.  These will be shipped directly from Amazon.com, Amazon.ca and Amazon.uk.  Sorry guys!  Print copies cost money and authors aren’t exactly made of it, so I’m limiting entries to those three countries.

RULES

1.  This giveaway will run from 12:00am CST on April 15 until 11:59pm CST on April 28.  Winners will be announced on Monday, April 29.

2.  The winner will be picked by Carla J. Hanna based on their answers to both of the questions below.  Yes, this is completely subjective.  She may pick winners based on how thoughtful, funny, serious, etc. their answers were; it’s completely up to Carla.

3.  If the winner does not respond to Carla’s email within 5 days, a new winner will be picked.

4.  All you have to do to enter is answer both of Carla’s questions below!  Make sure your profile has your email address included so that I can contact you if you win.

THE QUESTIONS

1: The Heavy: The film and publishing businesses say they reflect the escape the audience wants from reality, that successful fictional romance stories have violence and sex because that’s what the audience wants to feel emotions during the escape. Do you think either industry has a moral obligation to limit the “steam” or violence when targeting teens?

2. The Fun: With what young actress would you like to spend a day? Would you like to spend it on set or at her home?

Giveaway: Finding Time by Steve Poling

Like time travel?  Science fiction with actual science in it?  Great characters?  Then have I ever got a book for you!  Steve Poling graciously agreed to do a giveaway with me so we have two copies of Finding Time up for grabs in Kindle format only.  For my fellow Luddites all that means is you will have to download and read it through Amazon on your computer.

RULES:

1.  You must answer one or both of the questions provided.

2.  Your answer can be as serious/funny as you like.  There really is no wrong answer.

3.  You may enter only once.

PRIZES:

1.  Two Kindle versions of Finding Time.

One thing we’re doing differently this time is that Steve Poling will be picking his favourite answer, but we will also be using Random.org to randomly pick a winner.  So even if your answer is not Steve’s favourite, you have a chance at being chosen randomly based on the order of your comment because I will be using the random number generator.  Now here are the two questions:

1.  If you had a time machine, what would you rescue?

2.  If you could talk with just one historical figure (without all the nasty time travel related consequences) who would it be and why?

Today is November 20 and I will be closing the giveaway on November 27 November 30 (Update at 11:55am 21/11/12).  I will be announcing winners at 12:01am on December 1.  Make sure you have a valid email address attached to your account because I will be giving them to Steve Poling.  If he does not receive a reply from the winner(s) within seven days, the prizes will be going to someone else.
