Author: Andy Peloquin

Title: Trial of Stone: An Epic Fantasy Adventure (Heirs of Destiny Book 1)

A kingdom of death. A war for power and profit. Young heroes caught in the crossfire.

 

Kodyn expected hardships along his journey to return a kidnapped girl to her father.  Yet harsh deserts and cutthroat bandits prove far less lethal than the foes that await him in Shalandra, the City of the Dead.

 

In the shadows of golden spires carved from mountain stone, currents of corruption and vice run deep. Priests of the god of death rule with an iron fist, imposing a rigid caste system that elevates some to a life of privilege and condemns others to miserable squalor.

 

Together with Aisha, a fierce warrior from the north with the mystical ability to speak to the dead, Kodyn must survive the cesspool of high society deceit and betrayal.

 

Polite smiles hide sharp knives. Killers, criminals, and bloodthirsty cultists lurk around every corner. Can these youths overcome impossible odds to save the realm?

Title: The Best of You

They may be faking their relationship, but they can’t fake the sparks that fly when they’re together.

Desperate to get away from her cheating ex, travel vlogger Holly books a last-minute cruise to the Caribbean, even though the only available packages left are part of a singles cruise. Of course, Holly has no intention of participating in any dating activities. The further away she can stay from love, the better.

Then she runs into Noah, who is equally appalled by the idea of dating anyone after being dumped on his wedding day. They immediately bond over their failed love lives and it doesn’t take long for them to become friends.

When Noah witnesses another passenger hitting on Holly and refusing to take no for an answer, he volunteers to be her fake boyfriend. But as time passes by, they start to realize they are getting more than what they bargained for.

Will Holly accept what’s right in front of her or will she keep running from her dreams?

The Best of You is book eight in the Oceanic Dreams series. This feel-good romantic comedy can be read as a standalone and makes for the perfect beach read. It's filled with laugh-out-loud and swoon-worthy moments.

--Abigail's Targeted Tip:

Be sure to include your character’s “mission” or the goal that drives them through your book (preferably in the first paragraph). 

 

 

--Question of the Week:

How much info about a character makes it intriguing? When are the details too much?
