There's a big book party going on right now with fun, games and prizes - it's all part of the MKSP Black Friday/ Cyber Monday event with games, books, bargains, things to win and authors chatting. I'd like to thank the amazing Kim for organising it and letting me join in.
I'm hosting on Monday with the awesome Leland Hermit, who writes fantastic books starring dogs, on Monday at 1pm PST/ 2pm MST/ 3pm CST/ 4pm EST/ 9pm GMT. Yep, I'll be the one in my pyjamas! I've reviewed one of his books on my review page.
WOW Wednesday is a new thing for, ahem, Wednesdays! Coinciding with
Writer Wednesday (#WW) on twitter. My second guest is S. L. Wallace whose books include Price of a Bounty, Canvas Skies and Heart of Humanity. Today, you can grab her newest book, Retrospection, for just 99c. What's it all about, I hear you ask? Well, read on to find out...
Retrospection
What if there is more to
reality than you ever imagined?
When
Claire wakes up in the hospital, she discovers a stranger in her room who only
she can see and hear. Learning Jhidhai's secrets will take her on a journey
through both time and space. But Claire has secrets of her own — secrets that
will lead her toward a destination she would never have imagined. Set in Chicago 2001, as well as in numerous
historic time periods, the paranormal meets the historical in a seamless blend
of action, wonder and excitement.
S.L. Wallace is an upper elementary Montessori teacher and lifelong writer, who is a descendant of the famous William Wallace. Like him, she believes in freedom and independence. Unlike him, she fights her battles with the pen. S.L. has a quirky family and prefers quirky friends. If you see her out and about, she is likely looking for some fun.

The class divide must be
closed, and Keira, Guy and Aimee are determined to make that happen
Greed.
Power. Class division. Resistance.
The Terenian government has worked hard to divide the
haves from the have-nots. Guy Bensen, Elite bachelor of the year, wants a
better life for everyone. Thief/hired killer Keira Maddock hungers for
equality. Together, they might be able to change society.
Meanwhile, due to tragic events caused by the Divide,
Keira's younger sister, April, has left her baby in the realm across the sea.
Now she returns to Terene. With the arrival of two very different men, her life
becomes complicated. In order to be safe, April must hide her identity. In
order to live, she must open her heart.
In book two of the Reliance on Citizens trilogy, S.L.
Wallace delves deeper into political intrigue as we examine the bonds that make
us human, blending the genres of action, sci-fi, romance and political
suspense.
What will it take for a broken
society to be repaired? Eleven-year-old Noah is about to find out
The laws of Terene
may have changed, but that doesn't mean the hearts and minds of its people
have. Life in the peaceful and technologically advanced realm of Mediterra is all
eleven-year-old diabetic Noah can remember and all his sister, Nadine, has ever
known. With a new President of Mediterra, however, the family is forced to
leave. Scott Maddock has decided to move his family back to his homeland of
Terene where life has supposedly changed for the better. Being dropped into the
heart of a prejudiced society and becoming the target of the baddest bully at
school, Noah isn't so sure. How far will they go to stand up for what is right? In book three of the Reliance on Citizens trilogy, S.L. Wallace takes a look at
equality, bullying and prejudice while seamlessly blending the genres of
action, sci-fi and political suspense.
