Your Fall TBR List is Here!

If you’re like me, the phrase “too many books, not enough time” might be fitting, but then again, I never shy away from even more book recommendations. So, assuming we are on the same page (pardon the pun), I wanted to provide you with a few new releases by Evatopia Press. These would make great additions to your Fall TBR List.

“Beauty Sleeping” by Farha Hasan

“A modern fairytale for romance lovers, Beauty Sleeping is a tightly woven tale by an exceptional new voice.” — Evatopia Press

Safia and Aiden’s lives are on an undeniable and inevitable course. Like hamsters on a wheel, they toil through their days and well into the nights, working more hours than anyone should.

Safia is an advertising executive at one of New York’s most prestigious firms while Aiden is one of the Wall Street guys. Two people. Two separate lives. Both working to drown their heartaches.

What neither realizes is that the loneliness and mundane nature of each day is about to change. Destiny and fate are real and not just fairytale ideals. But love is a mystery and watching over both of them is a beauty who sleeps but sees all.

In a nearby hospital lies this beautiful girl who has slept for many months in a coma. Quiet and unassuming, yet she is the unlikely instrument that will bring Safia and Aiden together. This beauty sleeping touches everyone who passes by her room, and even those like Aiden and Safia who don’t. Although neither knows it, this Beauty has a supernatural hold over them.

She will seal their fate and bring them together…but if fate is tempted, her power may also keep them apart.

“Leaving Eva” by Jennifer Sivec

How can we erase the memories that threaten to scar us?

On the outside, Brynn Michael appears to have it all. A successful career. A loving husband. A beautiful home.

But nobody, not even her husband, knows the depth of Brynn’s horror. Abandoned as a child on the side of the road by her young, drug-addicted mother, then later abused by her adoptive father, Brynn has spent her entire life hiding her physical and emotional scars.

As Brynn struggles to overcome her past so that she and Adam can begin a family of their own, the darkness refuses to let her go. The peace that Brynn has tried so desperately to cultivate seems just out of reach and even the love of Adam may not be enough to weather the storm.

Leaving Eva is the tragic and suspenseful story of one woman’s battle to overcome abandonment and abuse. In this powerful novel, author Jennifer Sivec explores the human resolve and our ability to not only survive, but thrive.

Publisher’s note: This story is intended for mature audiences. It contains scenes depicting graphic violence and strong language.

Isis can control her dreams. Or she could—until recently. The creature in her nightmares has been haunting her for months. As if being dumped wasn’t bad enough, now she dreads going to sleep. She decides to confront the creature and win back some of her peace; only, she finds that he’s not a monster and he’s not a dream. A sacrifice for love, a shocking discovery and a jealous ex-boyfriend blur the lines between reality and dreams, making it hard to tell who the real monsters are.

Who would’ve known…that sometimes love is lethal?

Read an excerpt now…

“It’s not working,” David said. “Why isn’t it working?”

“You don’t have much time. If the corrosion reaches her chest, she’s going to die,” Nyx said.

“I’m going to die?” I mumbled.

I always thought I would be afraid of dying. I carried that fear with me since I was twelve, after looking inside that coffin at my dad’s stiff, breathless body. But now that it was my turn, I was ready. This was the destiny that was written for me.

“I can’t do it, Mother. I have nothing to forgive her for,” David said.

If I was going to die, I needed to tell David something I hadn’t had the courage to tell him before.

I glanced at my arm. The decomposition was at my elbow and the tingling had crept up near my shoulder. I didn’t have time to waste.

“David,” I said, and he looked at me. “I’m sorry I hurt you. I needed you to know…to hear it.”

I could feel the tingling a few inches past my shoulder. Nyx pulled my shirt at the neckline exposing my collarbone and part of my shoulder.

“I love you,” I said. “I always have.”

“I’m so sorry I did this to you,” David whispered stroking my forehead.

I could no longer feel my arm, my shoulder and part of my chest. And then I felt it—a searing pain in the middle of my chest. I writhed in anguish, screaming at the top of my lungs. My whole body jerked, and then there was darkness. Everything was silent, including my heart.

A soft light surrounded me, cradling me in a tranquility I had never known existed. I struggled for a last breath, but it was too late. The end was here.

Sammi Robin Today on Blog Talk Radio

By Margery Walshaw

I’m so pleased to have the opportunity to interview author Sammi Robin today at 3:30 PST on Blog Talk Radio.

Sammi’s debut novel, “So Many Frogs, Not Enough Prozac,” chronicles her dating exploits and realization that many men are frogs dressed in prince’s clothing.

Read on for details…

We’ve all grown up with the magical tales of Cinderella and Snow White. They’ve shaped our ideals, but with the exception of Kate Middleton, most of us must face the fact that princes only reside in the enchanted world of make-believe, and kissing frogs is an all too often occurrence.

“So Many Frogs…Not Enough Prozac” is for every girl who has fallen for a frog. Author Sammi Robin has been involved with actors, reality stars, identical twins and every guy in between. She’s bawled her eyes out in the self-help aisle of Barnes & Noble while searching for a book to ease her broken heart. While looking for a book that contained real stories of heartbreak, she came up empty-handed. At the urging of friends, who also needed to know they weren’t alone in their bad dating decisions, she decided to write that book.

Ever hear of creating a fake Facebook boyfriend just to make your guy jealous? Sammi’s done that and more. Within these pages, she’ll reveal her most embarrassing dating moments, biggest heartbreaks, cringe-worthy mistakes, and fortunately, the lessons learned.

Amazon | Barnes and Noble

Sammi is also a blogger writing about dating in Hollywood for “The Blow Off” blog as well as others. Her article, “No Contact Rule,” has had over 250,000 views and she is known as a girl about town having dated many an actor and model as well as having many friends who frequent the “movers and shakers” inner circles.

Read an excerpt now…

Breathing in the fresh air from the water, a light mist is rising from the surface allowing the air to cool even more as the sun sets further. My cloak warms me, although I have pulled the hood down to my shoulders so I can take in more of the scene. I sit cross-legged with the cloak lying over and around me where only a sliver of my front is visible, my long red hair hanging almost touching the rock beneath me. I close my eyes and begin to meditate, chant, and rejuvenate my own spirit. There is a man off to the side watching me. I look at him and he smiles at me.

           “Who are you?”

           “I am your Grandfather. I am here to journey with you through our history and teach you many great things.”

           “What is your name, Grandfather? Where are we?”

           “Charles. This is the world I knew many, many years ago. This is the place you live now. Virginia was chosen for its natural beauty and power.”

           “Why did I talk about spirits needing me? What is this dream?”
