Oct Vella Hop~
I’m such a fan of serial fiction, and while Vella is new, it’s launch is being very kind to the authors who are trying out it. You always get the first free chapters of anything for free, and currently amazon is giving readers even more freebies and paying the authors for those freebies. So now is a great time to try out Vella from your kindle app or on desktop. 
Here’s Oct’s Monthly Round Up! 
Building Your Readership  Genre: Non Fiction
The hardest part about promoting a book is finding your readers.  Inside this book I share 10 ways to start building your readership.  Each episode gives you tips and action steps you can implement after each episode.
From The Author: Hello I’m LaShaunda Hoffman. I’ve promoted books for 20+ years. I started an online magazine – Shades Of Romance and it taught me how to build a readership.  I’m currently working on my first women’s fiction book.  I’ve been enjoying this journey on Kindle Vella.  - http://lashaundahoffman.com
 Beneath Gehenna Genre: Dystopian Steampunk SciFi 
After an alert goes out to the paying members of the disaster bunker known as New Eden, residents find themselves trapped between two vastly different worlds: one that preys on trauma and one that creates it. Now, a newly wealthy yet troubled man and his new friends must find a way to live with the Hell they bought or return to the Hell which remains. From The Author: Benjamin ran with scissors when he was five. He now writes, paints, uses sharp woodworking tools and plays with glue. Sometimes he does these things at the same time. You can read more at https://www.bxwretlind.com where he writes blog articles focused (mostly) on writing.
Bounty: Wanted Dead or Alive Genre: Urban Fantasy/Slow Burn Romance
A fast pace, Urban Fantasy tale with slow burn romance. Suggested age for reading is 18-up. I never thought I'd be running the family business alone, but a freak hunting accident left Fenris, my Direwolf companion and me half-dead. Luckily, we pulled through, but my dad he didn't make it. Now I am searching for the people responsible for his death while digging up the pieces of secrets he kept. From the author: Adalynd Grayves  is  the name  and writing darker fiction is my game. When writing my stories, I like to take a pinch of monster, a dash of myth, and add a sprinkle of fairytales into the mix. I’ve been in anthologies in the past, but I’m currently working on publishing my first novel releasing  in 2022 ( official date TBA) and I  have my Kindle Vella serial out and ready to read now.  You can find all my links here: https://linktr.ee/AdalyndGrayves
 Elven Heartbound By Elizabeth Ash Genre : Romantic Fantasy
Born of elven magic. Bound to an elven prince.
All her life, Arisanna has been destined to wed the son of the elf king, and now the elves have come to collect. Nothing, however, goes as expected when the elves arrive to claim her. Despite their misunderstandings, Arisanna agrees to wed the aloof elf prince with whom she's been heartbound since before her birth.
Is the prince as hard as he seems? Or is there more to him than meets the eye?
About The Author: I live in the middle of the woods of the Pacific Northwest, where I keep a wary eye out for sasquatch. So far, he hasn’t revealed himself, but the trees around me are the inspiration for many of the forest scenes in my stories. https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethAshBooks
 Forsaken Beauty and the Etherbeast by Kelsey Josephson Genre: Sci-fi/Fantasy
A bookish strongwoman longs for freedom. A beast searches for a cure. Together, they'll break man-made curses.
After her own father sells her to the unscrupulous Ringmaster, Belle thinks she'll spend the rest of her days performing cheap stunts while the Nuzaran masses gawk at her ether-poisoned body. A chance encounter with a beast by her solitary campfire changes everything. Can they find liberation or will the past consume them both?
About The Author:  I have a deep love for Universal Monster movies, all things related to Nikola Tesla, and iced coffee. The first two things fuel my creativity and the latter keeps me motivated! You can check my other works on my website: https://simplykelseyjo.com/
 Fight or Flight: A Cinderella Tale of Court Intrigue Genre: Fantasy
Who doesn't love a Cinderella story? However, the stories never tell of what happens after the Prince finds his Bride and Cinderella finds her 'Happily Ever After'. What should be a happily ever after for Alyssa quickly becomes a game of survival as she tries to navigate a hostile court and those who are eyeing her position next to the prince.
Will she manage to win the game or will the strike of midnight only declare the beginning of her doom?
Author The Author: In addition to writing Urban Fantasy, one of the things I love to do is write fanfiction. You can check it all out here on my blog in addition to my original works. - https://theseekerfiles.wordpress.com/
  Death Date Genre: YA Dystopian
 People tell you to live life to the fullest.  Take your time. Don't make rash decisions. I should have listened. Maybe it  would have made a difference. Tomorrow is my eighteenth birthday. A day  that's supposed to be special. Eighteen years old means adulthood. Life is  just starting. That's how it used to be, years ago. Before our new society  formed. Instead, I face uncertainty.

So as some of y’all know, I wrote a book. It’s called Crown of Aster & it’s a high heat romantic fantasy.
I recently got the paperback edition up and running and to celebrate I have marked down the ebook version!
It’s currently available for zero dollars!
I’d love for anyone who likes sexy fae stories to check it out.
The cover art is by Mitch Roberge
The smooching art is by @crossroadart-seabear
If you’re into it, here’s the blurb:
When Adair first catches Nathaniel’s scent in his forest, he’s curious and aroused. He’s never smelled anything like it, and though the faun has been avoiding entanglements with humans for decades, he thinks the time might be ripe to make an exception.
When Nathaniel first sets eyes on Adair, he’s terrified—and, to be honest, a little aroused. Learning that the forest near his village is full of mysterious fae folk has Nathaniel’s head spinning, and finding out the handsome faun now intent on courting him is the heir to the fae kingdom is, quite frankly, a lot to handle. However, their attraction is mutual and undeniable, and Nathaniel finds himself falling hard for the mysterious forest dweller. As they grow closer, Nathaniel learns that the trees he’s lived beside his entire life are full of secrets, magic—and danger.
A dark new presence in the woods threatens the fae folk and the humans alike, turning the gentle fae wild and violent, Adair among them. For Adair and Nathaniel to protect their shared world, they must discover who is behind this force of wild magic before Adair and his kin are too far gone to save.

It’s nearly dawn, yet here I lay
Staring at the ceiling wide awake
Wondering what I’d say
If you’d only make
An effort to listen to my soft plea
My darling please, don’t forget me
For here I am, and still always be.

A Forest of Stolen Memories by Callie Thomas Genre: YA Fantasy
Celebration turns to disaster when a mysterious curse goes awry. A reminder that the Sorcerer’s prophecy still plagued the royal family. Roselyn’s memory is suddenly erased, leaving her panicked at the altar. Confused, she flees to the place the prince fears most–the enchanted Mistbrooke Forest. Danger lingers closer than she can imagine, forcing her to seek help from a dark stranger who may be the key to recovering her lost memories. Can she break the curse without breaking her heart?

A lot of inspiration for the forest descriptions in my story comes from the tropical island where I’m stationed: Okinawa, Japan. You can catch up with me on Facebook and Instagram.

We Own These Streets by Rose Sinclair Genre: Science Fiction
Victor and Iris aim to change a dangerous race to first place, that’s if they can survive the literal fast-paced profit motive.
The race is on… but can they ever stop?
From The Author: Thought this could be the fun little star on a map that says “You Are Here!” I’m no stranger to this genre, since this makes my third. But We Own These Streets tackles capitalism far more head on than the others, in a way that isn’t so depressing. _______________________________

Tuesday Tales 2021-7-13 Photo Three Books
I am back this week after a brief hiatus brought on by website woes. My longtime WordPress theme, 2012, suddenly lost its pizazz. By that, I mean a cool font I used for the headlines went POOF, as did the charcoal color of the page and a few other stylistic tweaks. Apparently the long ago contributor was banned for an infraction, and his works went POOF. Luckily the content was intact as far as I…
