Ahoy Matey, Pirates Be Looking to Read! #fantasy

 

Who doesn't love pirates - and check out this cover! New YA Epic Fantasy!

 Pirates of Serpent Sea, (Book One) - D. Fischer and Amanda K. Mann

Remini Draven loved being a pirate.

She enjoyed plundering villages and discovering legendary treasures just as much as the next guy on the Black Moon ship. But, when a deal was struck between the Captain of the Black Moon and a sniveling merchant, she walked away from life on the Black Moon.

The deal that was made was unforgivable. Genocide. The merchant wanted the Black Moon crew to steal an amulet that will destroy the sirens. Remi refused to be part of it.

And now . . . now she has to find a way to save the sirens before the Black Moon reaches them, and the amulet.

Looking for Reviewers

Hey, friends and zombie fans! I’m looking for reviewers who are interested in checking out my latest young adult zombie novel. It’s called Humanity’s Hope, and it’s the first book in the Saving Humanity series.

I have pdf versions of the ARC available, so please email me at pembrokesinclair @ hotmail . com (remove the spaces) if you are interested. I’ve included more information below.

Thanks!

Caleb, a 17-year-old boy, survived the zombie uprising, but he didn’t come out of the ordeal unscathed. He’s been scarred—both mentally and physically. The rest of humanity is trying to rebuild, to make the world normal again. Caleb is trying to return to a normal life also, but after all he’s seen, after the loss of his family and friends, the transition is difficult. The darkness that led him down a path of self-doubt and self-harm keeps trying to creep back into his mind.

Things only become worse when he discovers he’s immune to whatever makes a zombie a zombie. Fighting zombies was predictable. He knew what to expect. Fighting humans is volatile. They are malicious and treacherous. They won’t stop to get what they want, and Caleb has to figure out exactly what that is.

Blogging A to Z - Y is for Younger Readers

Y is for Younger Readers

I'm using the letter "Y" to announce that I'm revamping my vampire series - The Night Roamers - and offering it to younger readers. In all honestly, it was mainly written for ages seventeen and older, because of the language, violence, and steamy romance scenes. I'd even put a disclosure in the book descriptions, warning that all four books were meant for older readers. Now, we're not talking about erotica, just scenes that I wouldn't feel comfortable letting my own daughter read, who is almost thirteen. I just wouldn't.

Well, after receiving several emails from readers (many of them thirteen!) telling me how much they've enjoyed the Night Roamers, I've decided to create a censored version of the series and offer it to tweens and young adults (I will still keep my original as well).

 I will be removing anything that couldn't be shown on the Disney Channel, and releasing it within the next couple of months.  I will leave in words that many teens do use like "Crap, butthead, heck,"  to make it believable. But, I think I'll be able to sleep better at night knowing that the series can still be enjoyed by younger readers without the adult content. Anyway, here is the cover for my censored version (also less provocative than my current).  Coming soon!
