Author Spotlight: Robert Eggleton + An Excerpt from "Rarity from the Hollow" + Cover Update

Image
Blurb Lacy Dawn's father relives the Gulf War, her mother's teeth are rotting out, and her best friend is murdered by the meanest daddy on Earth. Life in The Hollow isn't great. But Lacy has one advantage -- she's been befriended by a semi-organic, semi-robot who works with her to cure her parents. He wants something in exchange, though. It's up to her to save the Universe. To prepare Lacy for her coming task, she is being schooled daily via direct downloads into her brain. She doesn't mind saving the universe, but her own family and friends come first. Will Lacy Dawn's predisposition, education, and magic be enough for her to save the Universe, Earth, and, most importantly, protect her own family? Rarity from the Hollow is adult literary science fiction filled with tragedy, comedy and satire. It is a children's story for adults, not for the prudish, faint of heart, or easily offended.

Book Review: Ghost of a Chance by EJ Divitt

Disclaimer: I receive a free epub copy of the book from the author (EJ Divitt) in exchange for a HONEST review.  Summary: (From: Goodreads)  No one told Jenny Chang that she is descended from a long line of supernatural protectors.

I couldn't believe that Jenny's mom would abando
