Get it for free! Dollhouse by Anya Allyn

Hi everyone! I found this via Goodreads, but I discovered that indie author Anya Allyn is offering the first book in her Dollhouse trilogy for free on the Kindle! It sounds pretty interesting, so I thought I'd spread the news around so she can get a few more downloads. Click on the pretty amazing cover to be taken to the Amazon listing or click here!

DOLLHOUSE is a dark, Gothic, Young Adult Horror.

Four teenagers chance across a mysterious, crumbling mansion in the depths of the mountains....

• One of them is about to vanish.
• One of them is lying about what he or she knows.
• None of them will escape the fate awaiting them in the terrifying Dollhouse beneath the old mansion--a place of nightmarish horrors and insanity.

A slow-burn nightmare, a world of supernatural darkness and strange secrets.

Six months ago, fifteen-year-old Cassie Claiborne reluctantly moved from her home in Florida with her social worker mom. In her new home--a remote, mountainous Australian town, Cassie meets new friends--Aisha Dumaj, Ethan McAllister and Lacey Dougherty.

For the first time, Cassie falls in love. The only problem is that the boy she falls for is her friend, Ethan--and he and Aisha are already an item. When Cassie goes on a school hike to Devils Hole with her new friends, she tries desperately to keep her feelings for Ethan secret.

Aisha disappears on the hike without a trace--with the police believing she was murdered.

When Cassie, Ethan and Lacey return to the mountains to search for Aisha--Cassie begins to realize she never really knew any of her friends. Everyone has their own secrets. She discovers the stranger lurking inside everyone she thought she knew.

The darkest secret of all waits beneath the old mansion in the mountains--a secret from which there is no escape....

Check it Out: Bibliotastic Books

Hi everyone! Here's today's entry in the Check it Out series!

Anyone can tell you that finding someone to help put out your books can be a difficult step. Going through the bigger publishing houses involves an agent & a lot of patience, so it's no surprise that a lot of people are going the self publishing route.

That's where companies like Bibliotastic come in. Now I know a lot of you are thinking "Gee, I can self publish in lots of different places!" & you'd be right. There are a lot of options out there. What makes Bibiotastic so special is that they don't charge a penny for you to put your ebook out through them. They pride themselves as the "YouTube for ebooks" in that they neither charge for you to publish your books through them & they don't charge for people to download them.

This could be an invaluable way for new authors to get their books read as well as for readers (and almost all of us are readers at one point in time or another) to get their daily literary fix. Not only that, but the authors keep the rights to their books & the site also offers editor reviews on a limited basis. (See the site FAQs here.)

The company has been around since November but their official launch was just this February, so this is a great chance for you to either get your book out there as well as find a few new ones as well! The site offers a plethora of download options, so no matter what ebook reader you use you're likely to find it in your preferred file options.

On a side note, I've just got to mention this hilarious contest they recently ran where the prizes were kindling & what appears to be a granny smith apple. (You can read the details here.)

I also want to remind people of the contest for one of author Jim Bernheimer's ebooks! (For contest details, go here.)
