*Book Tour & Giveaway* Rue the Slay

 


Meet Rue Channing. She's just the witch to finish what her ancestors started. 


Rue the Slay

Laurel Haven Witches Book 1

by ReGina Welling

Genre: Paranormal Women’s Fiction 



 Three hundred years ago, four witches went into the forest to cast a spell of protection against the evil creeping into their town but they were too late.


Today, Rue Channing never sees it coming, and she should because seeing is her special power. Still, who would have expected to be kidnapped and hauled off to a small coastal town in Maine?

But that is exactly what happened. Now, Rue, a lover of order and strict routines, is dragged out of her comfort zone and into a new life in the small, coastal town of Laurel Haven.

Things could not be worse, she thinks, until she meets the man next door and decides they could. Ry McFadden is the most infuriating man on the planet. He’s a study in contrasts; grumpy yet generous, intensely private, but somehow open. Rue can’t think what to do with him, except she can, and that just makes things worse.

The problem is, Ry McFadden just might be part of Rue’s destiny as she learns she’s been brought to Laurel Haven to finish what her ancestors started.

ReGina Welling prefers not to talk about herself in the third person so...

I live in Maine with my husband, a silly flufferpup named Dash, and a crazy cat named Cricket. I write full time and also create mixed media artwork when I get the chance.

When I was three, my mom brought home a new book and when she went to read it to me, I read it to her instead. That was when she realized I'd learned to read. Since then I couldn't even estimate the number of books I've read. It's a lot!

I love talking to other readers so please visit me in any one of these various places and don't forget to let me know you stopped by!

*Release Blitz* The Sandman, The Reaper Chronicles Book Six

 

Title: The Sandman (The Reaper Chronicles, Book Six)

Author: Apryl Baker

Genre: YA Paranormal

Cover Designer: Deranged Doctor Designs

Publisher: Limitless Publishing, LLC

Publication Date: July 30th, 2024
Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR

Blurb:
Every child knows the story of the Sandman…a creature who visits you at night and blows sand in your eyes so you drift off to dreamland. It’s a familiar story, and one that is near and dear to us.

But all stories and legends are steeped in truth in some form or fashion. And the Sandman is no different…

In the town of Jacob’s Fork, WV, the townspeople are falling into deep sleeps from which they cannot be awakened. Sleep comas, the doctors are calling them.

People are dying, and Ella Banks was asked to use her reaping abilities to try to connect with the dead to find answers. What she finds is a monster so terrifying she’s unsure if it can be stopped.

But the little boy she found there needs her help, and she won’t abandon him, even if it puts her own life in jeopardy.

But can she face not only her own nightmares, but those of a five-year-old as well, and manage to survive without losing her sanity





So who am I?

Well, I’m the crazy girl with an imagination that never shuts up. I LOVE scary movies. My friends laugh at me when I scare myself watching them and tell me to stop watching them, but who doesn’t love to get scared? I grew up in a small town nestled in the southern mountains of West Virginia where I spent days roaming around in the woods, climbing trees, and causing general mayhem. Nights I would stay up reading Nancy Drew by flashlight under the covers until my parents yelled at me to go to sleep.

Now, I live in a small town in West Virginia where I entertain my niece and nephew and watch the cats get teased by the birds and laugh myself silly when they swoop down and then dive back up just out of reach. The cats start yelling something fierce…lol.

I love books, I love writing books, and I love entertaining people with my silly stories.

The Price of Talent Book 1

by AK Nevermore

Genre: Spicy Dystopian SciFi Romance


On an alternate earth, a cataclysm has altered a subset of the population. Talents are persecuted for their psychic and physical mutations, giving rise to two conflicting societies based upon maintaining genetic purity. And the Source, a shadowy corporate entity dependent upon the exploitation of captive Talents, is hunting them...

Self-exiled to the Outside, Flynn Scot is oath-bound to a life of strict penance.

Cursed with a vicious temper and haunted by the blood-stained debauchery of his past, Flynn’s sworn off women, whiskey, and violence, and doesn’t give a damn about whispers of the coming war. He sure as hell isn’t in the mood to make good on a debt when it’s called in, especially when playing white knight outs him as a Talent, and the damsel in distress as his soulmate.

On the run from her future as a broodmare for the Source, escaped Talent Kara Jester is no distressed damsel.

And the last thing she wants is to be trapped in a blizzard with a surly—and frustratingly captivating—thug. Without the suppression meds holding her libido in check, her biology’s primed to procreate, and Flynn’s growled assurances that he won’t touch her doesn’t match the hunger in his eyes.

It doesn’t align with what fate has in store for them, either.

With elite troops hot on their heels and the border set to close, it’s a race to the North, away from Kara’s horrific future and towards the dark past Flynn wants to keep buried. Clinging to the shreds of his oath, he’s forced to choose between protecting the woman he’s afraid to love and letting out the animal he swore he’d never be again. Either may destroy him, if Kara’s secrets don’t get them killed first.

 Alan McGill is an American author who lives in Northwestern Pennsylvania with a clowder of cats. Alan was close to his grandparents who grew up in the Great Depression. They were married young and remained together until his grandmother’s passing. His grandfather served in the Navy during WWII and was a gifted storyteller who weaved humorous tales about tough events. Alan grew up with these stories of right and wrong along with watching fictional heroes such as The Lone Ranger, Adam West’s Batman and Captain America. Heroes who stood up to bullies and protected those who could not protect themselves. This made an impression on the author to always do what was right in his own life and shaped his love for storytelling. He is a multi-genre author with his debut novel being A Cry in the Moon’s Light which is a horror romance and mystery series. As with all his books, one of the primary themes involves characters who strive to do the right thing regardless of the adversity they face. The second theme present in all his books is love. A pure and deep love that defeats all evil.

GUEST POST

WHAT GOES INTO MAKING AN AUDIOBOOK?

I self-publish and self-produce my audiobooks, so I’m doing everything. I upgraded my equipment and

now have a closet converted into a sound booth.

First, I record the narration of each chapter. This includes going into the various characters as they come

along in the story. (I will often practice the voice and develop a personality for each different character) I

try to make each sound different.

Using the raw recording, I edit out the worst lines, mistakes, etc. Then I run the recording through a filter

to take out mouth noises, clicks, pops, and any distractions.

After I’ve got the dialogue and narration I want, the recording is sent to a sound engineer to clean it

further and make it crisper.

Once I get back a good audio recording, I add the sound FX and musical score.

Lastly, I make sure the entire mix will pass ACX standards. They are the toughest and if it meets those, I

am good to go.

After all chapters are recorded, I then record an opening, ending and other files needed for the audiobook.

I have my cover artist create an audiobook cover matching my novel. Then everything is ready to publish.

It’s quite a production and takes a good bit of time. Now I understand why producers want the credit for

their work.

How did you come up with the concept and characters for the book?

My original version was somewhat different, but let’s go with the re-write on this one. As I said,

Alton is loosely based on me. Mara Torres is based on my first true love. And much of what Alton

remembers about her happened to me, but not all. It would be more accurate to say inspired by

some true events with a little writer’s license.

Penny is a combination of a couple of different women. Her loyalty to Alton, willing to help him is

inspired by Effy in the Maltese Falcon. Her politics and attitude are inspired by a political

committeewoman I once knew. There are splashes of others I’ve met along the way too.

Twilas Burke was inspired by the Tech Giants of our time. If you combined Steve Jobs, Elon

Musk, Bill Gates, and some others, you’d have Twilas.

Bessimer is inspired by KITT from Knight Rider. I always thought it would be cool to have a

talking car. Every private detective show I ever watched, had a cool car. Magnum had the

Ferrari, Rockford had the Pontiac Firebird they all had great cars.

Where did you come up with the names in the story?

No real thought process here other than Alton Cold. I always loved the legend of the Smiling

Man, Indrid Cold. But I didn’t want that character name, so I decided Alton had a nice ring to it.

Bumper City was a play on words for the overall story. It’s the nickname for New Vegas. But

nobody really knows which story is correct, and I may tell it someday, but not today.

What did you enjoy most about writing this book?

I loved the movement between light and dark. Not just the environment of the city being in total

darkness while the rest of the world that surrounds it is light, but the characters dealing with their

own inner darkness.

Tell us about your main characters- what makes them tick?

Alton is completely driven by a sense of justice or fairness. Twilas has yet to reveal why he’s

doing what he’s doing, but it’s coming. Mara, well, you have to read it so I don’t give any spoilers

away.
