Multi-Author Book Fair, #fantasy, #romance #horror #mystery #sciencefiction #promo

Here's something I thought y'all might find interesting.

From Fantasy author Tina Glasneck, a new writer friend of mine. (She's awesome, by the way, you should check her books out!) She's hosting this Multi-Author fair, of which she says this: 

I love the books – and there is something special about the writing community when it joins together to promote. This month, I am hosting a multi-author book fair, whereby books from all across the different genres are present – mysteries, romances, sci-fi, fantasy, and horror. The covers are there for readers to click on and discover something new.

The goal of the book fair is to share our unique platforms to help the participating authors grow – the authors involved will be sending newsletters, posting on social media and some even blogging, because when we are united, we’re able to make a larger wave, and introduce readers to the diverse stories and worlds of our imaginations.

I hope you will join in on the fun, and stop by. You just might discover your next book adventure.

You can find the Book Fair here:  https://www.tinaglasneck.com/july-multi-author-book-fair We hope you find something you'll like!

Sunday Post--first week of November.

Sunday Post was conceived by Kimberly at Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

I hope your week went well. Mine was... busy. Yes, I foolishly signed into Nanowrimo again. As of this writing I didn't work on the Nano project at all for more than a few hundred words, but added 8,000 words into something else--Something that I've had a tentative deadline for, for this week. This for the last nearly two years. It's not even close to being ready to release yet. *headdesk* I've sortakinda officially shelved releasing until sometime next year. Give me time to work out the bugs. Besides, I'm closer to finishing/releasing another project. No reason to put that off. And I'm going back to the original Nano project this week--So technically, I suppose I did sorta finish (almost) all my revisions from last year, this year as I had predicted last December. (I guess that ole intuition does sorta work from time to time)

Meanwhile, I contacted all my winners of the Magickal Samhain giveaway. Yep, busy.

Also this week...because I was crunching that "no way I'm going to get it out this year" project, to the tune of taking a night off for shoulder pain, (8,000 typed words in one week!) I used that time to experiment with writing on the phone. Verdict? It will work in a pinch, if I'm not home, but I don't get as much done as I do when I'm in front of the computer.

And I finished knitting a headband (this one) for a Christmas present that's currently in the blocking stage.

I love the striped quality of that yarn, don't you? It's one skein of yarn, just dyed like that. Neat! :) These projects always take me longer to finish than I expect so I'm glad I made it in enough time to, you know, wrap it up before the New Year holiday.*phew!*

I also squeezed in some reading, a little bit in two different books. I'm so close to the beginning of those, though...I'm not ready to say anything about what they are.  Hopefully, I'll let you know soon.

On the new pile, I found some exciting things at the bookstore (well, exciting to me). Did y'all know Michael Moorcock had a new comic out? (*pause and insert omgomgomg!fangirl squee here*) I knew it was in the works, I'd just never seen it...until yesterday. I found three of them (I think they're compilations of the entire 12 issue comics) at the store: Elric: The Balance Lost, vol. 1, vol.2, and 3. YAAAAA!! It's another of his Elric-crosses-with-Von Bek-and-Corum tales. :) I'm almost finished with City in the Autumn Stars but no doubt I'll be diving into Balance Lost really soon.

October Frights Blog hop-- zombie novelette--free October 14th only!

As part of the October Frights Blog hop I thought I'd treat y'all to some scares. :) To that end, My zombie novelette "Bicycle Requiem", is free today (October 14th) at Amazon! Would you like to check it out? The story is as follows:

On the way home from a draining night of work, Theodora (called Teddy by her friends) finds herself guilty of something she’d never dreamed: a hit and run that results in a child’s death.
 
Wracked with guilt, Teddy hides her secret, carrying on as if nothing happened, but when the victim’s zombie returns, bringing along her own kind of disturbing justice, Teddy learns innocent little Mara isn’t exactly what she seemed.
 
And Teddy wonders, would jail be better than eternity with the vengeful girl’s accusing spectre.
 
Is it a small price to pay–and for what? 

Again, if you'd like to check it out, it's free today only on Amazon. Get your copy there!

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Comic Book/fantasy novel/Movie/TV Villians

  A meme by the Broke and the Bookish.

  This seems like a fun topic. Well, I tweaked it a bit to cover movies and fantasy novels. There's always a plethora of bad guys to love...er, hate!

Let's see....
1.Captain Videl (from Pan's Labyrinth. For cruelty, he's the worst!No matter how many times I see that movie, and know how it will end, I want him to cut his own throat before we get there. I don't like suicide scenes at all; for Videl, I'd make an exception.)

2. There's Mr. Gold (AKA Rumplestiltskin) from Once Upon a Time.
Although, really, he started out bad and got better as the series has gone on.

3. The Balrog from Lord of the Rings, (because hey, fiery beast.)

4. Saruman (Christopher Lee did such a good job with this character!)

5.Mordred. (Okay, he's his mother's pawn, in the King Arthur Legends but he is the one responsible for Arthur's death. he could do something radical, like say no to the plan, after all. But then he wouldn't be a bad guy.)

6. Darth Vader! (Before the Prequels)

7.  Khan Noonien Singh (The Wrath of Khan is his finest moment, I think)

8. Cthulhu. Although really, I'm fond of the guy. He's got such a creepy way of screwing with his victims--all over the globe--from wherever he lies! Lovecraft made reference to the beast again and again through six stories.He's a really cool bad guy, I must say (and.... he might have a teensy influence on a certain imp in my Antique Magic series).

9.Yyrkoon, from Michael Moorcock's Elric series. Because (like #10 below) he's a narcissistic ass who really, really, needs Elric to wipe the smug smile off his face. I mean, come on? He makes pacts with evil, lusts after his own sister, and wants Elric dead. Hate him. Don't want to kill him, like the gal below, but yes, I think he belongs here.

10. Glenin from Melanie Rawn's fantasy novel, Ruins of Ambrai. OMG, I wanted to kill that narcissistic, infuriating woman (er, character) starting about 1/3 of the way into the first book. And what she did, in the end? I won't give you spoilers, but I have to say that b*** (the character, not the author!) is the reason I got serious about my own writing. I wanted to kill her, repeatedly! *lol* She's just...bleh! Even years later I still get furious just thinking about her.  Loved the rest of the books; they would've been better if Sarra had stabbed her in the eye (repeatedly. Every chapter). 
 :) Sorry, Melanie.

So, that's my list. Do you agree with any of these? Disagree? (*braces self for Glenin discussion*) Who's on your lists?

Oh! Also, if you're interested, I made a quick list of some of my favorite comic book villains. You can see it here.

New dark fantasy (horror) novelette

I hope you're having a good day. I am so far! Our weather here is cooling down, but nonetheless, my creativity is not (are you shocked?). So I wanted to let y'all know I have a new story for you. Every once in a  while, I just get a hankering to write a little darker than the paranormal romance stories I have on offer. This one is specifically for those of you who enjoy my dark stories.

Bicycle Requiem is a little novelette of roughly 9,000 words. and while a shorter version of the story was first published in the zine Twisted Dreams, with getting my rights back and the time that has passed since its publication, I expanded and updated it.If you'd like a little taste, its synopsis is:

On the way home from a draining night of work, Theodora (called Teddy by her friends) finds herself guilty of something she'd never dreamed: a hit and run that results in a child's death.

Wracked with guilt, Teddy hides her secret, carrying on as if nothing happened, but when the victim's zombie returns, bringing along her own kind of disturbing justice, Teddy learns innocent little Mara isn't exactly what she seemed.

And Teddy wonders, would jail be better than eternity with the vengeful girl's accusing spectre.

Is it a small price to pay--and for what?

Legend has it that zombies are mindless creatures, Mara doesn't quite seem so. Well, you'll have to read to see what she's got in store for poor Teddy!

Amazon's Look Inside feature isn't up, as yet, but it should be soon. Anyway, if you'd like to check it out, Bicycle Requiem is now available at Amazon (and Amazon UK) and Smashwords.

I like writing dark, sometimes, what can I say. :) Some might even call this horror (or just dark fantasy) One more thing, if you are a fan of the Antique Magic series, you'll find a little tidbit surprise inside Teddy and Mara's story. :)

Oh, and before I forget. Big thanks to Zeke for proofreading through this one!
Enjoy and have a nice, and spooky, day!
best spooky wishes,
Juli D. Revezzo

#BlackFriday paperback and #ebook #sale

Doesn't everyone love unwrapping gifts for Christmas/Yule? Well, I do. I thought then, I'd give you all who like it too a little treat. For Black Friday, the paperbacks of select titles of my body of work will be on sale.

First for the paranormal or Christmas mystery lover, my Christmas paranormal mystery romance MURDER UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR is also on sale. List Price= $8.25, is on sale for $8.05.
'Tis the season ... for death. Murder reminds Detective Helene Collias of Holly PD that crime doesn't respect holidays. And the last victim she ever expected to find in her case files is the sister of her old flame, Sean Grant. Ordinarily, Helene's psychic gifts give her an edge but this time, that gift has short-circuited. Could her lingering attraction to Sean be blurring her abilities, or is something more sinister at work?

This one is...well, a little higher on the heat scale than my other books. If you'd like it, it's available at  Amazon.

For the New Adult fantasy or fairy tale lover, CHANGELING'S CROWN is on sale:

When Ianthe began her career as a faery godmother, she stumbled so badly that Snow White will probably never speak to her again. After a long suspension, she’s finally been given a chance to redeem herself…but everything on this latest assignment is going wrong. But why?

Worse, she definitely doesn’t need an attractive mortal man distracting her from her duties. Of course, needs and wants are two different things.

Briak has had his eye on Ianthe for a very, very long time, but he’s been waiting for just the right moment to make his move. Despite the fact all hell’s about to break loose on his watch...


List Price: $9.50 for $1 off=$8.50. You can order a copy at  Amazon.

The balance between good and evil can be an art... or a curse. Trevor and Caitlin were once happy newlyweds, profiting from Trevor's art. Until Trevor inherits his brother's house, and with it, his part of an old Welsh family curse. Now, Caitlin will stop at nothing to save her beloved husband from insanity and suicide, even if it means she must embrace her destiny and become a witch.

You can get it at Amazon.

And finally, my Celtic flavored paranormal romance, PASSION'S SACRED DANCE.

 Synopsis:
Unless Stacy Macken can stave off her creditors, she may lose her renowned history center. Yet she knows in her heart that the center is sacred and what a catastrophe losing it would be. How much of a catastrophe, she hasn't a clue. Until Aaron Fielding arrives with his tales of magical guardians and the Tuatha dé Danann, sworn warriors from Celtic legend who protect humanity from a wicked enemy seeking their destruction. Is the end of the world imminent? What can she, a modern woman and her warrior lover, possibly have to offer when a long-prophesied druidic mythic battle explodes around them?

Bonus: Includes brand new flash fiction piece, "About A Warrior" You can get it here.

All the other books should all be on sale at Amazon too, but I recommend Createspace for the best deal this morning. I hope you find something you'll enjoy!
