Welcome!

We feature all kinds of genre fiction--General Audience or Parental Guidance (PG) Rating. These are novels that new adults and adults can enjoy. Most of the novels might be too tense, too complex, or too worrisome for children under 10. We don't showcase novels with sex, but you can find wonderful sweet romances that delve into emotional relationships, (think Debbie Macomber). You'll see novels that will remind you of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, or C.S. Lewis' Narnia Chronicles, dystopian teen novels similar to The Hunger Games, and sweet romantic suspense. Historical Romance. Futuristic/Sci-Fi Romance. Some will have Christian themes; some won't.

And to discover these novels, we'll be doing Blog Hops throughout the year! 

  • What is a Blog Hop? 
    • A blog hop is a set time frame where a group of authors post about a topic and share links to the other blogs so readers can go to them. Meaning, you post on your own blog and then readers hop from blog to blog. Each blog does a contest and with our hops, we do an overall contest as well. When you sign up, save the blog button image and link it to the blog hop page on this website.
  • Who blogs? 
    • Everyone! Authors, reviewers, bloggers...anyone! As long as you blog about that certain topic that day and help us promote, you're welcome to join us!  The more bloggers, the better!
  • What you must do:
    •     Have the blog hop button on your site that links to the blog hop page.
    •     Have the blog hop button in your post.

    •     Hold a contest/giveaway the day of the hop that YOU are responsible for.
    •     Mention the main contest and have the readers comment to enter to win.
    •     Have a way for readers to hop by including the linky code, the list provided, or by directing them to the blog hop page on this site.

  1. I am interested in this, but I have to admit I'm a little confused. Where do I click to sign up? I don't see the appropriate tab. Sorry!
