Welcome to Aetrelys, home of the Seri.

Enpirion, a gifted soldier of his ancient, energy-wielding race, awakens,
alone and friendless, in a new home after a terrible ordeal that has left
him with both physical and mental scars. Placed back into active service, he
finds himself struggling to overcome what he’s been through and the problems
it has left him with. Even while desperately trying to cope with his own
deep-seated issues, Piri is drawn into a far-reaching dilemma that, while on
the surface seems to be merely a fanatical human sector targeting his race,
has much further reaching consequences.

With a threat arising from a vastly different domain governed by a unique,
chaotic and conflicting energy source, the situation begins to quickly
spiral out of control and Piri finds himself having to confront issues with
his culture and loyalties, as well as fighting an internal battle with a
newly arising realization of who and what he is as he struggles to save
everything that he knows from destruction.

The Fifth Horseman by Jon Smith #blogtour #fantasy #bookreview #comedy #giveaway #thefifthhorseman #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours @jonsmith_author

Comedy/Fantasy/Mythical Realism/Fiction

Date Published: 02-07-2023

Publisher: Balkon Media

 

photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png

 

Internationally published bestselling author Jon Smith makes his adult
debut with The Fifth Horseman, a modern comic fantasy that rides roughshod
over established mythology and the rules of life… and death.

The Fifth Horseman is a darkly comic tale of two thirty-somethings caught
between our world and the afterlife, who must embrace their role as reapers
to prevent the End Times. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy meets Father
Ted
, perfect for fans of Ben Aaronovitch, Terry Pratchett, and Neil
Gaiman.

 

Death is just a day job you can’t quit…

Emma and Mark had a bad day. The worst part of it was dying. But, according
to Death, the Rider on the Pale Horse and first horseman of the apocalypse,
things aren’t that simple. Turns out the sand in their hourglass is
stuck in place. Somewhere between life and death, they’re put to work
as Death’s assistants, reaping the souls of the living until
it’s time for their final clock out…

To compound matters, despite their omnipotence, the four horsemen are
facing an existential threat – one they’re ill-equipped and
ill-prepared to combat.

Emma and Mark must reap like their afterlives depend on it, to help prevent
the End Times – even if it means scuppering the one opportunity they
have at being granted a second chance at life.

 

Filled with humour, romantic tension, and suspense, Jon Smith utilises a
witty, lightly sarcastic ensemble of flawed but loveable characters. It will
appeal to mainstream fantasy readers and hopeless romantics, as well as
those who enjoy a good story and a good laugh.

 

Review

Well written with deep character development and fascinating system. The story progression kept me on my toes and I couldn’t predict the next step. I appreciated the humor and the way the author used it at perfect moments. Overall, this is an excellent story, with great characters and wonderful world building.

About the Author

 Jon Smith is the bestselling author of 14 books for children, teens, and
adults. His books have sold more than 500,000 copies and are published in
seven languages.

In addition to writing books, Jon is an award-winning screenwriter and
musical theatre lyricist and librettist with productions at the Birmingham
Hippodrome, Belfast Waterfront and London’s Park & Waterloo East
theatres.

Jon enjoyed a happy childhood—making daisy chains, holidays in the
sun and an obsessive interest in all things fantasy. No brace, few spots and
only one broken bone and one broken heart (not his). It all went
swimmingly.

Father of four, he lives near Liverpool with his wife, Mrs. Smith, and
their two school-age children. When he grows up he’d like to be a
librarian.

My mother called me a thrill seeker as a kid. That continued to be a fair
assessment throughout my life, but with unforeseen consequences. For 57
years I managed to cheat death as I endured accidents such as a head-on car
collision that catapulted me through two windshields or hitting a telephone
pole at 110 MPH on a motorcycle, to name just a couple. But none of these
true-life experiences compared to what came after my cancer diagnosis. In
this book I use words to paint you alongside as I detail all my incredible
life challenges and experiences. Ride along the emotional roller coaster
that includes 17 surgeries and the domino effect of events that resulted.
After the cancer diagnosis, an internal fight also ensued. It was the mental
battle against the shadowy figures on my shoulders who constantly whispered
morbid thoughts.

entrepreneur, artist, husband, Father, and author. He has been listed in the

reach deep inside and find courage, faith, and to become an expert intellect
about his conditions and treatments. Perry’s writing is entertaining,
funny, extremely educational, and most importantly, all unbelievably true.
Today he lives in Johnson City, Tennessee with his wife and 3 dogs.

Standing on Positive Ground by Tony V. Rodriguez #promo #memoir #nonfiction #standingonpositiveground #tonyvrodriguez #rabtbooktours @RABTBookTours @MKWebsiteandSEO @standonposgrnd

Scars of Faith and Courage, A Life Forever Changed

 

Memoir

Date Published:
February 23, 2023

Publisher:
Mindstir Media

 

Standing on Positive Ground is the heartfelt, inspiring true story of Tony
V Rodriguez, whose astonishing tragedies and triumphs span a lifetime. It is
an unrivaled testament to survival, faith, and the indomitable human
spirit.

Before Tony was three years old, he experienced two car accidents, one that
nearly cost him his life and permanently changed him physically and
mentally. His family, unable to afford the critical extensive care, prayed
for a miracle. Answered prayers came through his community, God, and
organizations such as the Shriner’s Burns Hospital. Since then, he has
survived two near-death experiences, ten auto accidents, three motorcycle
accidents, Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cancer, a stroke, multiple innovative
plastic surgeries, disfigurement discrimination, and two divorces.

Through all these extraordinary challenges, Tony also experienced how truly
kind people could be, along with the support of the heavenly realm. He knew
that he was never alone on his arduous journey.

Standing on Positive Ground is filled with tragic as well as joyous
outcomes. Join Tony as he shares his personal journey, including how he
rises above tremendous circumstances and ultimately lives a life of
accomplishment and positivity.

It is Tony’s greatest hope that his life story uplifts and brings
inspiration to the reader.

 

 

Praise for Standing on Positive Ground

 

“Powerful and brave, heart-wrenching and heartwarming, Standing on
Positive Ground shows that pain can be indiscriminate, but so too can
perseverance. In this remarkable story, Tony V Rodriguez shares the trials
that knocked him down and the strength used to pick himself back
up-repeatedly. Inside these pages is an anthem to all those who have faced
life’s toughest challenges and a testament to those with the heart to fight
back.”

– J.J. Hebert, USA Today bestselling author

 

About the Author

Tony V Rodriguez has experienced many tragedies and blessings in his life.
Born in 1966, in beautiful Bartow, Florida, he is the son of interracial
parents who supported their family as migrant workers. Before Tony turned
three years old, he would survive two separate car accidents, one that
nearly claimed his life. Because of serious and life-threatening injuries,
Tony spent most of his childhood in hospitals, undergoing many complex
surgeries meant to shape and repair his severely disfigured face. Due to
many factors, he lived with shame, negativity, and depression. The heaviness
of the negativity weighed upon him, and he eventually decided those feelings
would not serve him. With his determination, heavenly blessings, strength,
and positive attitude, he was able to rise above these extraordinary
circumstances to become an 
inspiration to others whom he has met along the way.

At the time of printing this book, in his mid 50’s, Tony has so far
survived three near-death experiences, Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) cancer,
stroke, disfigurement and discrimination, twelve auto accidents, three
motorcycle accidents, and sixty-six surgeries. Tony’s faith combined
with the acts of kindness by many caring individuals has remarkably allowed
him to live a mainstream life.

After obtaining an Associate Degree in Computer Engineering Technology,
Tony began his professional career as an Electronic Technician for a
government-contracted company. Seven years later, in 1995, he accepted an
offer from Intel Corporation, located in Arizona, where he enjoyed an
Electronic Technician career until he would be forced to medically retire
after twenty-one years of service.

Tony enjoys playing video games on his computer or PlayStation 5, visiting
classic car shows, listening to music, reading his bible, enjoying time with
the heavenly realm, spending time with his wife, and keeping in touch with
friends and family. He owns a 1967 Chevy Camaro, the car of his
dreams.

This book is a very well written magical tale with amazing imagery and unique twists.

Bevil Cyrex, adrift in space on a ship determined to kill him, stumbles
across an ancient and abandoned space station called The Starlite.

Once on board the station he sets about repairing it, with the goal of
opening up for business.

Along the way he befriends a possibly sociopathic, all powerful nanite
swarm, who has decided to take on the appearance and mannerisms of his
grandmother.

He must also contend with being hunted by an ex-mob enforcer looking for
revenge, a handful of pirates and various threats of invasion, marriage and
death.

All in all, Bevil would have to admit, things were really looking up.

About the Author

I truly enjoy writing and it really never feels like work. Okay, mostly
never feels like work.

Folks who have read my books have said they are definitely filled with
words. These words are used in a very clever way to form sentences, which
then form paragraphs until a page is just jammed packed with them. I do this
repeatedly throughout my novels.

I am a lifelong lover of comic books, video games, science fiction and
fantasy. My favorite authors include Robert Heinlein, William Gibson and
Mark Twain.

Once the technology is perfected, I hope to own a robotic chimpanzee that
will accompany me on many adventures. We will travel the globe solving
crime, eating pie and saving the day.

I think it’s safe to assume that we’re gonna look pretty cool doing
that.

My Name Is Series

 

Children’s Book

Date Published: 07/25/2022

Publisher: Balboa Press, a division of Hay House, Inc.

 

photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png
 

 

“My Name Is Light” is the newly minted Book Two of Kelly Anne
Manuel’s “My Name Is” Series.

In this story the Child is invited on a journey into Nature where a
discovery is made with the help of the Animal Kingdom and a joyful
celebration result. The Child is curious and Nature, as in real life, does
not disappoint.

“My Name Is Light” begins with a Child in the great outdoors who
notices something bright in their vision. The Child takes the opportunity to
interact with a feeling of “light.” The Animal Kingdom animates
this exciting, fun, and playful adventure. The Child will learn to ask
questions and see what fun adventures await when they engage actively in
communication. The simple words take on new meaning as the illustrations
pair perfectly with their presentation.

The Child will learn that Nature has so many wonders to explore. These
wonders are available and ready for action once the Child actively engages
with communication that relates directly to their own observations. Children
will experience a lighthearted and fun story that will ignite their own
imaginations.

Why not explore the author’s theory Childhood is a time of playful
fascination as well as learning? This fascination can be enhanced by
literature that allows for pretend conversations. It is in Early Childhood
that we learn how to connect and interact with others.

“My Name Is Light” offers a path to these connections that allows
for observation, self-reflection, and play. Play is so important at this age
and the Child who reads these books will be rewarded with the joy of
witnessing play at its best.
