Dog Days Of Summer Author Interviews! #IAN #BOOKBOOST #RRBC #ASMSG #KindleSale #SupportIndieAuthors!

Hi folks! It’s time for another Support Indie Authors sponsored book promotion! 

Because of the success of the Fourth of July promotion, we’ll be offering several opportunities to discover your new favorite read throughout the year. This time around, we have over thirty authors offering cheap and free eBooks on a variety of platforms and we’ve extended the sales period to three whole days! All of the books being offered will either be free or just $0.99. Each day of the sale will have something new, so make sure to check back Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! Not only that, but we’ve made it easier for everyone by linking all of the books on one easy to remember website: 

So, since there’s so much being offered, I’ve decided to use this space to let you get to know a little about the authors who are participating, what they write, and where you can find out more about them. So, without further ado, here are the Dashing Devils who write the Drabbles to Decimate the Doldrums:

Charles Edward Hash
Hello, Charles! Tell us a little about yourself!
I’ve always like to explore the darker, grittier side of life, travelling vicariously to places that hide from the daylight. I’m generally a cheerful, happy person that opens an internal portal to the dark side of humanity when I write. I don’t believe ‘the good old days’ ever existed.
What books will you be offering for the promotion?
Nascent Decay, Blood in the Water, Promises of Eden, Transcendence, The Nightmare Virus: Slow Burn and Desperation.
What genre or genres would best describe what you are offering?
A wide variety of genres and styles propped up with a spine of horror.
Can you tell us a little about what we might expect from reading your work?
I strive for realistic characters with flaws and failings that generate moral conflicts, and then place them into an unreal environment. Misdirection and theatrics, along with drama and tension; some broken rules as well. I try to write with a flashlight in the fog, illuminating sporadic fragments until the whole is revealed.
Since this is the Dog Days Doldrums Buster, please tell us; if you were a dog, what kind of a dog would you be?
I would be a stray mutt. Probably old and mangy too.

A Saint Bernard. Right. Probably a Pomeranian or a Shih Tzu. I look small, but I will ferociously defend what’s precious to me.

If I were a dog, I’d an Old English Sheepdog not because I’m from the UK. I’m not despite being a huge fan of the BBC, Dr. Who and Death in Paradise being two of my absolute favorites.

As an indie author I have to be constantly alert to changes in the marketplace and agile enough to change as the market does.

humor/fiction
Can you tell us a little about what we might expect from reading your work?
A reader can expect something a bit shorter than usual; short, but filled to capacity, jam-packed and vacuum sealed with the same amount of consideration a sane person might lend to a girthy novel. A reader can expect to be overwhelmed, caught unawares by the gooey absurdity which pumps without cease directly into and all over their face—a wacky swamp bukkake. But most importantly—assuming a sense of humor is present—a reader can expect to laugh, violently, to the effect of bowel movement or hernia, god willing.

Can you tell us a little about what we might expect from reading your work?
My book is a vampire/horror novel, but the focus is more on the inter-personal relationships that developed between the characters over time. There is, of course, horror and blood and some erotica – it IS a vampire novel after all, but the overall story is one of emotional growth, or lack of it.  The premise of the book to me was – when our dreams come true, why can’t that be enough?

Blurb for Book 1 of the Telepathic Clans Saga.

The transition between teenager to university to graduation is difficult and confusing for everyone. As an orphan and a prodigy who entered college at sixteen, harboring secrets she dares not reveal, Brenna Morgan’s journey is more complicated than most. Then one evening she stumbles across a young man who promises to answer all her questions if she’ll trust him.

The history of the Clans, called the Sidhe by the Irish, stretches back to antiquity. The Goddess blesses Her people with

Telepathic Gifts. In addition to Telepathy, the Gifts include command over Air and Fire, Telekinesis and Teleportation. In over 2,500 years, She has never bestowed more than 15 Gifts on a single person.

Brenna’s life isn’t the same after she discovers her unusual and mysterious heritage. In addition to being a telepath, Brenna learns she has the Succubus Gift.

That’s just the beginning of her problems. Someone is stalking her. Then there’s the tall, dangerous woman who shadows her and hints a Goddess has linked them. And what is she going to do with a handsome, charismatic, womanizing man she knows she should avoid?

Some days a girl just wants to pull the covers over her head and stay in bed — with a willing young man of course.

Warning: This book contains characters who are sex-positive feminists.

Review for Dream Walker:

4.0 out of 5 stars The Dream Walker. February 23, 2015
By Pennie Mae Cartawick. Author of the Sherlock Holmes book series TOP
500 REVIEWER Format:Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
When it comes to a world of fantasy and magic where sword and sorcery takes hold, this is where it all starts. In this epic YA adventure, a dark wizard conjures up a black spell to trap his fellow wizards inside stones. A young boy Mortimer who lives in the land of Mystica finds one of these stones in a river and hides it, keeping  it for himself. Because he didn’t follow suit and turn it over to the Goddess as law requires, he in turn releases a dark wizard named ‘Midnight‘ whom is bent on power and ruling the land. A favorite place to be for children as they plummet into the pages of ‘The Dream Walker’, a well deserved mystical journey. A place in time from another world that envelopes dragons, wizards, and fairytale belief where strange powers corrupt to ignite a kingdom of good Vs evil. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to read the next installment in the ‘Land of Mystica Series’. I was given a copy for evaluation and an unbiased review.

A sweet story that I would recommend to those who have read the rest of the Land of Mystica series.

Review for Rainbows and Dreams:

5.0 out of 5 stars A vivid word word tapestry April 2, 2015
By Diane Paxton
Format:Kindle Edition
Rainbows and Dreams is an eclectic and evocative collection of poetry that is uplifting, thoughtful, insightful,  and plaintive. In her straightforward style Michelle Murray weaves a rich tapestry of words that will resonate with readers of her work. Loss, hope, heroes, warriors, fair maidens, dreams, and all the colors of the rainbow are packed into these verses. These verses will nourish your heart and soul. Highly  recommended.

Book expert Dream Walker:

Miranda found herself standing in the middle of a field with knee-high grass and flowers of different colors. The flowers were bright and colorful in shades of purple, blue and green that Miranda had never seen before. The field was all around her, with nothing else to see. No people, no animals, no signs of water, nothing was around her except the tall grass for what seemed like miles and miles. Miranda looked up and saw two suns in the sky; she thought maybe she was  dreaming again. But, she could feel the grass, and the heat from the suns. Before she could even move to start walking, an arrow shot through the air. It struck a black wolf-like creature that had been ready to attack her from the grass. Miranda had not even seen or heard the creature. Miranda could now see the large fangs and claws as the creature fell right next to her.

Review for Dream Walker Returns:

The Darkness was a living thing. It waited. It had all the time in the world. Yet, it was starting to get restless. It wanted to  be out in the world again. It wanted to be slithering into cracks, covering all light, dousing sparks of hope and   happiness. It grew on misery and pain. It knew little of the changes of the world, and cared less. Wizards, kings, and people they all came and went. The dragons were older, and less prone to its wanderings. The Darkness only knew of two  things, to grow and feed. To do this, it needed to slither and strengthen. It needed to be in the world again. It had been  here since the beginning. It would be here until the end, if even just a small amount like it was now. The Darkness had never been this small for this long. It itched to grow. It yearned to hear the screams and feel the pains of the humans as it worked its path through the world.
As if in answer to its thoughts, the Darkness heard a  spell. The spell attached him to a wizard. It was not the entrance or  introduction to the world it was hoping for, but it was a start. That was all the Darkness needed, a start. A way to get into the world once more.

Review for Ichra’s Quest:

Ichra was about to go on his Ice Quest. He was small, even for an Ice Person. He was barely two feet tall! No matter how much he ate, he just did not grow. He did not let his small size stop him, though. He explored the Ice Caves, played games of hide and seek with his fellow Ice People, and helped carve out more passageways in the Ice Caves. He was the only son of parents who doted on him. His father had taken his magic “seeking” stone to aid the King in his quest to find and kill the remnant of Midnight’s army.

Excerpt from Rainbows and Dreams:

Escape Drift Drift Away

Fly Fly Fly away
In the puffy white clouds
Of the sky Blow Blow away
Glide Glide Glide away
On the wings
Of butterflies
Huff Huff away
Soar Soar Soar away
With the noisy engines
Of a commercial plane
Sigh Sigh away
Fall Fall Fall away
From the snowy top
Of Mt. Everest
Cry Cry away
Write Write Write away
Sorrows and pain
To get through another day
