Yes...I know I am absolutely horrible about keeping up with my blog...
Good news though! I have received another contract through MuseItUp Publishing for the second book in the Guardian Chronicles! Entitled: The Keeper! yes, I am excited, so I have FOUR upcoming releases through Muse:
Books 4 and 5 in the Sanctuary Series Blind Walker and Jungle Walker and Books 1 and 2 in the Guardian Chronicles, Taming the Beat and The Keeper! I am excited!
But...the point of today's post...it's a rant...I'm just a wee bit peeved.
I was approached on FaceBook about reviewing a book. No big deal it happens a lot among authors, a review for a review. Unfortunately I am backed up at the moment and am MONTHS behind on promised reviews which I feel absolutely horrible about AGAIN to those of you I am SO SO SO SO very sorry!
The deal is, I ask for honest reviews. I give honest reviews. If I for some reason can't give at least a four-star review I will not leave one, simply because I will not tear another author's work to shreds.
I was approached by another author today and asked to swap reviews, I explained I was backed up that I would have to decline.
This is his exact response:
"What do you mean you are late in reviews? Do you mean you are backed up in giving them or receiving them? You could just give me what you want me to say for your review and I'll put it up and I'll do the same. It'll take less than five minutes to post"
Uhm...To say that I am livid would be an understatement. I responded with this.
"I don't do that I ask for and give only honest reviews in return. If I can't give an honest four stars I won't post. Real things are preventing me from devoting time to read right now. I have seven that I have to review right now. And far more than I can remember that have neglected to leave reviews for me. So I've stopped swapping for reviews. Though I appreciate the offer."
"OK...thanks for your time."
UGGGGHHHH!!!!
Really? I am so angry I can't even properly vent here. I can promise that I will be giving this guys information to my author pals to warn them, but this is the kind of crap that gets good people thrown under the bus while we sit here and scratch our heads and wonder why these other books have all these reviews when ours sit here with hardly any...THIS IS WHY? BECAUSE THESE AUTHORS ARE WRITING THEIR FREAKING OWN DAMN REVIEWS ITS BULL!!!!!!!!!
DROPS MIC, PEACE OUT!

Review for Love's Bitter Harvest By Jas T. Ward
I reviewed Madness by Jas T. Ward last year and was definitely in love with her twist on the paranormal and her writing style in general. When she asked if I would consider reviewing Love's Bitter Harvest even though it wasn't of the PNR genre, I jumped at the chance.
Review for Love’s Bitter Harvest by Jas T. Ward
This is a love-story
that is unique.
High school
sweethearts, Matt and Katy marry and take over the family farm and live...happily
ever after?
Yeah, that doesn’t
sound like a unique story does it?
For Katy coming from a
background where all she thought she craved was a family and nothing more,
being with the love of her life and settling had seemed easy enough. But after
four years, she was given the job opportunity of a lifetime in New York and
Katy decided to jump on it when her husband didn’t attempt to stop her.
Matt, a prideful man,
had let her go and in the process his life fell in shambles within four years
after neglecting the farm and his life in general. Living his life with anger,
hatred, and pain, caused Matt to become a shell of his former self. Then to
make matters worse, another tragedy befalls him. Holding onto the anger seems
to be all he has left.
The way this story is
woven you feel both Katy and Matt’s pain, frustration, and anger.
I’m not easily brought
to tears and I have to admit, I had to wipe away more than just a few reading
through this story.
For what had originally
started as a challenge to write outside of her comfort zone of the paranormal,
Jas T. Ward has thrown down the gauntlet and proven her worth! Not many authors
can successfully pull off a switch in genres, but in my opinion...she absolutely
nailed it.

Cover Reveal for Dream Walker, Book III in the Sanctuary Series
D R E A M W A L K E R, Book III in the Sanctuary Series...
It had been more than twenty years since he’d last seen his wife. Twenty years of searching with connections spanning from the military to the secret organization, The Guardians. Nothing. Forced to retire early from the military to take care of his two young children, Peyton Maynard did what he had to do to raise his young family.
Becoming a Guardian, policing paranormal, supernatural, and preternatural beings offered him the flexibility to be the hands-on father he needed to be. Blessed with the gift of precognitive dreams served him well, except where it came to Kit. He never saw her come into his life and never saw her leave. But she still haunted his dreams.
Kit had gone by a variety of names—hiding from a man with the connections her husband had was difficult. But to protect her family from her true identity, she had to leave. Pretending to be human in a world that wasn’t ready to accept her, Kit survived the only way possible.
Coming face-to-face once again with the love of her life was terrifying and bittersweet all at once. But could Kit overcome the abandonment issues of her children and fix what had been destroyed? Could she make them understand she’d left in order to protect them?
Was she ready to make the ultimate sacrifice to keep them and their secrets safe?
Coming June 2014
