MY GINNIE WEST ADVENTURE SERIES HAS NEW COVERS!!

To Celebrate-- I am having a week-long Cover Reveal Blog Tour AND a BOOK BOMB!!

It works like this:

Anybody who buys my 3rd book: Simply West of Heaven: A Ginnie West Adventure on JUNE 20, 2013 gets an email with all of the links and codes to buy 15 of these books for FREE and an opportunity to check out the other 11 for .99 each.

On a side note: my author friends are a generous group of people, so I am really hoping you will support them as well as me. Many of the .99 books have recently been offered for free and have run out of free days (imagine that--depending on where an author has their e-books-- they can only have them free for 5 days.) so PLEASE consider supporting the .99 books-- trust me--the ones I have read are WELL worth it.

And nobody can touch 16 e-books for the price on ONE!!

Several of these books are authored by multi-award winning, bestselling authors.

Just saying. :)

Please mark JUNE 20, 2013 on your calanders

(I will have special links closer to Book Bomb Day. Thanks.)

And for even MORE fun: Click on the following link. Once you are at the Rafflecopter, click on as many entries as you want to enter for some great prizes. FREE to enter. ;)

The Dream Keeper by Mikey Brooks

I've found a great new series: The Dream Keeper Chronicles by Mikey Brooks.

High school can be a waking nightmare for a lot of kids-- especially if they have been labeled 'loser' by the snob elites who insist on ruling schools with intimidation and peer pressure. Most teens are torn between who they want to be and what they think others see themselves as. Neither image is usually all truth-- and sometimes it's downright wrong.

Finding the courage to be who-you-know-you-are and who-you-want-to-be is a pretty universal theme most teens struggle with. In "The Dream Keeper," this struggle is put to the test in two realms, high school and Dreams--the place mortals go when they sleep.

When the dreamworld is hi-jacked by nightmares who want to see our world destroyed, things get dicey fast. The school loser (Kaelyn) and the boy who wants to skate through high school without causing waves (Parker) are thrust together to fight an even bigger battle than high school cliques and self-doubt, they are forced to confront their worst nightmares to save the people they care about.

Filled with great imagery, action-packed scenes, and new ways of seeing fantastical creatures, "The Dream Keeper" introduces interesting ways to deal with nightmares in both the real and dream worlds. And--as in real life, things aren't always what they seem. Weakness can become strength--and a little bit of faith and a lot of effort can go a long way. But watch out for maniacal clowns, poisonous spiders, slithering snakes, and snobby high school girls-- even in a fantasy novel, they are all pretty scary. ;)

For those who enjoy the Harry Potter and Percy Jackson series, The Dream Keeper will surely satisfy.
