INVISIBLE is 99 cents

Lola’s not pretty. Lola’s not popular. Lola wishes she could disappear … and then one day
she does just that...
For seventeen-year-old Lola Savullo, life is a struggle. Born to funky parents who are more in than she could ever be, Lola’s dream of becoming a writer makes her an outsider even in her own home. Bullied and despised, Lola still has the support of her best pal Charlie and Grandma Rose.
 
Not only is she freakishly tall, Lola’s a big girl and when forced to wear a bathing suit at her summer job as a camp counselor, Lola’s only escape from deep embarrassment seems to be to literally vanish. Soon after, she discovers the roots of her new “ability”.
 
Slowly, with Charlie’s help, Lola learns to control the new super power. The possibilities are endless. Yet power can be abused, too…
 
Then, when tragedy strikes, Lola must summon her inner strength, both at home and at school. She has to stand up for herself, despite the temptations and possibilities of her newfound super power.
 
A coming-of-age story that will warm the heart.

For a short time, the ebook edition of Invisible, by yours truly, is available for just 99 cents.  The promotion is on for the duration of my upcoming blog tour with Pump Up Your Book - December 5th to the 16th. Hope to see you on one of my many blog stops.

    Finished my copy! I'll post a link when I write up my review. I retweeted your tweet for this post, and I'm on Triberr, and am new and was totally clueless about how it worked. Well, I accidentally had my Twitter's RSS feed streaming to my tribesmates instead of my blog's, so when I retweeted your post, it got retweeted multiple times. :) Works out for you! I have a potential reach of over 50,000 people.

    I found Invisible to a great book for those dealing with bullying . Lola deals with that very thing, by the popular standards she is no pretty or thin , or perfect , the lack of those things causes the popular group to pick on her mercilessly. The bullying from the kids gets so bad that Lola wishes she could be invisible and in turn becomes so. This book leads us through the growth of Lola as she tried to understand this new power she has and how she learns that your real friends will stick with you no matter how you look for inner beauty can be found in everyone no matter how they look on the outside. I also enjoyed how the author stressed when dealing with bullies its important to not become the bully yourself. If I had anything negative to say about the book is , I didn't care for the language and the underlined homosexuality, purely because I wouldn't want younger kids to read.

Writing Process Blog Hop

I would like to thank my friend, Tina D.C. Hayes for tagging me for the Writing Process Blog Hop. 1. What are you currently working on? I have three works in progress, however, one is more “done” than the others. It’s a romantic thriller titled, Love, Lies and Deception (the title has been changed from Undercover Hero ). The tagline for the novel is, “What’s a girl to do when she falls in love with the man whose mission it is to bring her down?” My other two novels are paranormal thrillers which is my usual genre and the genre I’m most comfortable writing in. 2. How does your work differ from others in the genre?   I don’t think Love, Lies and Deception is much different than other works in that genre. It has all the typical elements of a romance, but I do bring in aspects of the paranormal into everything I write. So, even though LL & D is, at its essence, a romance, it definitely has a touch of the paranormal. 3. Why do you write what you do? ...

When a Review is not a Review

Image
After receiving plenty of great reviews and ratings for Invisible , yesterday, I went through a rite of passage, I got my first ever one-star review from a reviewer on Goodreads - http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/278254425 . It's okay, really, I'm fine with it. After all, everyone is entitled to their opinion. But what really got to me was the reason why! There is a gay character in my novel. Her name is Charlie and I love her. I think she adds dimension and depth to my novel, but the reviewer hated her. The reviewer's stated "I don't do gay." So I ask, is this really a review or an opportunity for the reviewer to tout her so-called Christian values? All I ask is for a fair review. Review the book as a whole. A one-star review is fine by me, especially when it comes from a narrowminded individual. I would have thought in this day and age that such prejudice and hatred would not be so prevalent.
