I Love Musa Books Hop!

Welcome, and thank you for stopping by on your tour around the I Love Musa Books Hop hosted by Musa Publishing.

I’m giving away an e-book copy of my debut novel series The Last Timekeepers and the Arch of Atlantis during the week of my book launch, May 18, 2012 and a $10 Musa Publishing gift voucher so while you’re waiting for my ebook, you can buy an ebook in the genre of your choice.

Since I’m a YA author, I’d like to showcase a few ebooks I’ve read and enjoyed from Musa Publishing’s YA imprint Euterpe:

The Trouble with NightingaleThe Trouble With Nightingale by Amaleen Ison
When seventeen year old Millie Scrubbings moves to new digs on East London’s Nightingale Estate, she believes she’s finally closed the door on a childhood dictated by strangers. But overnight, her peaceful high-rise turns bonkers, and a series of grisly murders leaves Millie frightened and more helpless than ever.

Millie must accept her lead role in rescuing Nightingale from its descent into anarchy, or risk all Hell breaking loose.

Lost in the Bayou by Cornell DeVille

People disappear in the bayou. And that’s exactly what fourteen-year-old Robin Sherwood needs to do—before her Uncle Conrad snips her toes off with his rusty garden nippers. When her parents’ private plane disappears in the Voodoo Swamp, Robin’s uncle moves into the multi-million dollar Sherwood Estate as guardian. It doesn’t take Robin long to figure out there’s something not quite right about Uncle Conrad—besides having a metal claw where his left hand used to be.

Weird changes to crazy when he explains the bizarre game he has planned—a game that will leave Robin dead and Uncle Conrad the sole heir to the Sherwood fortune. In order to escape his devious plan and its deadly consequences, the bayou may be Robin’s only chance. It’s a risky choice, but becoming alligator bait seems a lot less terrifying right now than what’s waiting for her in the cellar.

The Girl Who Remembered HorsesThe Girl Who Remembers Horses by Linda Benson
Several generations into the future, Sahara travels with her clan in a barren environment where recyclables are bartered for sustenance, and few remember horses or their connection to humans. But Sahara has recurring visions of riding astride on magnificent animals that run like the wind.

With the help of Evan, a young herder from the Gardener's Camp, Sahara discovers a crumbling book containing pictures of humans riding horses and learns her visions are real. Confronting a group of hunters led by hot-headed Dojo, Sahara rescues a wounded horse, but the animal escapes before it can be tamed.

Sahara is labeled a foolish dreamer and almost gives up her quest. Following horse tracks into a remote ravine, she finds wild dogs attacking a dying mare, and must drive them off in order to save the foal. Now she must attempt to raise the young animal, finally convince her clan of the ancient bond between horses and humans, and learn the secret of her true identity.
