I am so excited to be apart of this tour. A lot of people don't give Indie authors enough credit with all the work they do. Just because they don't have a publishing house backing them up, doesn't mean their stories aren't great and beautifully written. Indie authors have a lot more work they have to do. They are the ones that have to promote and sale their book. That alone takes up a lot of time. Below I have listed some books from some Indie authors that I have read and some that I can't wait to read. These authors are wonderful people and I am glad to have them as friends. They take the time to talk to us everyday and that is what I love about them.
I am reading Touching Smoke now and it is FANTASTIC!!!! I can't put it down!! Love it!!! I love that I can't figure out what they are!!!

The next two series I have read and LOVED!!! They blew me away!!! I fell in love with all the characters in these two series. They became family to me. These are two series that I will read over and over.
Synopsis
Jennifer Adams, best friend to Jacque Pierce and Sally Morgan, spicy, out spoken, a little crazy and human...or so she thought. Jen has just found out that human DNA is not the only thing that resides in her veins, she happens to share that little pesky werewolf gene, although it isn't more than just a drop. Now that she and her friends are living in Romania with Fane's pack, she is also oh so conveniently stuck with the object of her affection, the fur ball Decebel.
Drawn to each other by something they don't understand Jen finds herself frustrated by the lack of mating signs between her and said fur ball. Not only is she dealing with that not so un-frustrating problem, she now has been informed that because of that little drop of werewolf blood in her she is now required to attended a multi-pack gathering for un-mated wolves. This type of gathering hasn't taken place in over a century but with a shortage of females among the werewolf population the males are getting worried they won't ever find their true mates.
Meanwhile Decebel struggles with the emotions he is feeling towards Jen. He tries to keep his distance but there is just something about the mouthy blonde that keeps him coming back for more of her verbal abuse that he just can't seem to get enough of...go figure.
Synopsis
All 18-year-old Celeste Garrett wants is to head off to college and make those fun, yet ill-advised, choices college kids are known for. And maybe to spend some time with the hot cameraman she just met. Instead, because of a pact her ancestors made in the 17th century with a mythical creature, she has to save the world.
While normal kids are slamming energy drinks and cramming for exams, Celeste will get her adrenaline rush fighting a fire breathing dragon. She wants to meet friends in the quad to exchange lecture notes, but first she must exchange blows with a shapeshifting demon on the rooftop. Life isn’t always fair for a superhero, but at least she doesn’t have to do it alone. With her brother and sister as sidekicks, they alternate between saving lives and getting on each others’ nerves. Together the trio encounters unspeakable odds, mystical forces and comes face-to-face with an image that will haunt them forever—their grandmother in a leopard print bikini.
Okay, little side note here. If a psychopathic killer asks if you want to see a trick, say no. That’s the smart thing to do. I, on the other hand, responded, “Bring it.”
The next group of books are books that I have but haven't got the chance to read. I have been wanting to read these books for a while now. I have each and everyone of these books so I am looking forward to reading them. The reviews have been fantastic!!!
Synopsis
It was happening again.
The dreams. The nightmares. It was something that seventeen year-old
Elizabeth Hayes thought she d outgrown; dreams that would come true;
detailed premonitions of how people would die. This time she dreams
about her boyfriend, Michael Young, and soon discovers that he has been
found... dead.
He has not crossed over because he was murdered, and now the murderer is after Lizzy. His spirit won't rest until she is safe. As a newbie spirit, the easiest way for him to make contact is through Lizzy's dreams. When she dreams, it's as if he hasn't died.
Lizzy must learn to pull on her inner strength to survive horrifying events, and is faced with a most difficult decision. Would she risk her life to save her best friend and the very person responsible for Michael's death?
Meanwhile, Michael learns everything he can about his supernatural gifts to help. But will it be enough to save her?

Synopsis
Ava is third generation
of The Broken kind who reside on a planet called Poseidon. The Broken
share this planet with an ancient race known as the Minoans. The Broken
are a breed of humans who evolved from a program that was constructed to
save human kind from harsh conditions back on Earth. But Ava knows much
more, and feels much more than she is allowed to. When she starts
questioning her origins and the destruction of Earth, things go horribly
wrong for her. She is saved by a Minoan boy from an attempted
kidnapping on her life – the perpetrators are evil Zulus and their dark
ancient magic. Humans and Minoans are forbidden to interact with each
other, and as she is taken back to their village she finds out why –
they know of her, her kind and her destiny to save a dying race. Ava
must rid them from the Council’s ruling and free the galaxy of The
Shadow. Her destiny is to rise above the fall, because within her soul
is the key to an archaic weapon that has been missing in the mix of a
genetic code since the time of the ancients. As the prophecy unfolds she
learns of her bloodline – a bloodline that makes her less human than
she could ever have imagined. She alone has the power to destroy or
save, but the mind-shift is a horrible thing. Ava will become what she
hates to save the ones she loves. Beaten, poisoned, possessed and
betrayed by her own emotions, she has no choice but to rise above it
all… for that is her Destiny.
Prologue
All my life, I had searched for something, something I thought I ought to be. I felt like I was living someone else’s life, waiting for the awakening of my own. I felt like an empty shell burning for life. That was, until the day I lay dying in the prince’s chambers. I could no longer feel the pain from the tear in my gut. The only sensation left was a hollowed-out feeling that I had made a huge mistake in assuming that taking my own life, would have stopped the ancestors’ spirit from raging out. I had given up. I didn’t want to see myself killing the ones I loved. I was the Chosen one, but I threw it all away for what I thought would save a life. Could you end a life to save a life? I did, and I have regretted it ever since. I realized then that things like me are not meant to exist. What had been missing my whole life? It was I. To find myself, I had to lose myself in the worst possible way. The consequences of my actions became the legend of The Broken.
