Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It's always a surprise to see what's coming next!
I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women's hair!
Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life - I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations - regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal... I don't want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm going to tell you about Kindl
I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be alone.
That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.
Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.
Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.

Cat's Audiobook Review of Arresting Mason (Arresting Onyx Series, Book 1) by Amber Daulton @WildRosePress @ amberdaulton1 @TTCBooksandmore

Once you’re in a prison gang, you’re in it for life. That’s what Mason Harding thought until the boss accepted his resignation. After the State releases him on parole, a sexy divorcĂ©e behind the wheel of a car almost ends his life quicker than a shank. His chance encounter with Mia Eddison results in a night of passion, but her brother—his parole officer—catches them together and doesn’t approve.

Mia falls hard for the cocky ex-con, but not because of his chiseled body. She vows to break through his walls and discover his secrets but never expects those secrets to threaten her life.

When members of an organized crime ring kidnap Mia to force Mason’s return to the gang, he goes up against an old friend to save the woman he loves. Will his sacrifice be enough or will everything fall apart in a blaze of gunfire?

I loved everything about this story. The meet-cute was to die for. (Luckily Mason didn't die) I liked the chemistry between the stow and was shocked when here brother interfered. Mason and Mia met the sparks fly, then her brother finds out who she is seeing. Her brother happens to bee Maon's Parole office. Jim does everything he can to make Mason miserable. 

I loved the characters. The chemistry was awesome with Mason and Mia. I especially loved Jim, her brother. The things he did to poor Mason to keep them apart, then Mason runs into some of his old buddies, and staying out of trouble becomes next to impossible.

I loved the plot and the danger that pops up.

The story is well written, intriguing, and hot. Thee becomes a big twist of action and I really worried how this would come out a happy ending. I found that very clever.

So now I cannot wait for arresting Jeremiah! Highly recommended romantic suspense.

Praise for PRETTY FUNNY FOR A GIRL

“Elliott, who has previously published picture books and early readers, nails the voice and persona of a high school girl…. A good purchase for libraries that need coming-of-age books centering body-positivity.” ―School Library Journal

“A feel-good story featuring a narrator who’s likable and genuinely funny, even at her most self-deprecating. Dreams, being true to oneself, body-image issues, single parenting, family dynamics, self-confidence, and a realistic depiction of friendship make this a refreshing coming-of-age read full of optimism, dreams, and plenty of stereotype-smashing laughs. A natural pick for Dumplin’ (2015) fans.” ―Booklist

“Sharp, funny… The working-class British milieu feels freshly wrought, and Elliott’s characters are well balanced… [Haylah’s] comedy routine, though at times self-deprecating, also flips some stereotypes.” ―Publishers Weekly


A candid and laugh-out-loud journey of family, friends, and fierce mistakes.

Haylah Swinton is an ace best friend, a loving daughter, and an incredibly patient sister to a four-year-old nutcase of a brother. Best of all, she's pretty confident she's mastered making light of every situation--from her mom's new boyfriend to unsolicited remarks on her plus-sized figure. Haylah's learning to embrace all of her curvy parts and, besides, she has a secret: one day, she'll be a stand-up comedian star.

So when impossibly cool and thirstalicious Leo reveals he's also into comedy, Haylah jumps at the chance to ghost-write his sets. But is Leo as interested in returning the favor? Even though her friends warn her of Leo's intentions, Haylah's not ready to listen--and she might just be digging herself deeper toward heartbreak. If Haylah's ever going to step into the spotlight, first she'll need to find the confidence to put herself out there and strut like the boss she really is.

Rebecca Elliott's hilarious and authentic narrative voice is sure to capture readers' hearts as her plus-sized, teenage heroine navigates learning to love the body she's in while dealing with friends, family, and boys.

Photo Content from Rebecca Elliott

Rebecca Elliott was not so much born as assembled from potatoes, cat hair and sarcasm in Suffolk quite a few years ago. A school project of Rebecca's from the age of 6 reads, "When I grow up I want to write and draw books", clearly a precocious little brat but still, if nothing else it proves that when she's made a decision she really can't be bothered to change it. After a 'brief' detour from this career plan involving wanting to be Stephen Fry, a degree in philosophy and a dull office job, she finally got round to doing the whole book thing.

Since then she has become an award-winning (you won’t have heard of the award but come on, that sounds good, right?)and bestselling author of over 30 books for children. These include Just Because, a book about her daughter who had severe special needs and her ongoing series Owl Diaries which has sold 6 million copies worldwide. Her new YA novel, 'Pretty Funny' is due out in March 2020. (Published by Penguin, like actual Penguin. Which is dream-come-true awesome) And her mum really likes it.

When she's not story-making she can be found reading (everyone puts that as a hobby but really, I mean who doesn’t read? Even if its just the TV guide?), loudly venting her issues on the drums, singing in her band, painting pictures only she appreciates, at the movies (again, everyone, right?), podcasting or just hanging out with her husband Matthew (a history teacher), her children (professional monkey-boys), chickens (egg production executives) and cat Bernard (currently unemployed).

The Heartache of Life (Working Girls) by K.L. Humphreys Release event with Cat's Review @EJBookPromos @2vVcVeD @TTCBooksandmore

Title: The Heartache of Life
Series: Working Girls Series
Author: K.L. Humphreys
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: September 24, 2020
Cover Design: Design Bunnies

Gemma Green’s dreams were set in motion from a very young age, but that all changed when her dad died leaving her alone in the world.
Marrying a man forty years older than her was never her plan, but sometimes the only way to survive is to do whatever it takes.
Falling for Taylor Lewis was never on the plan. Staying away from him is an impossible feat.
But loving him comes at a cost, one that Gemma’s not sure she’ll survive.
Afterall, her life’s been one big heartache, she won’t be able to deal with anymore.
But Taylor’s not giving up without a fight.
Will Gemma and Taylor get their happy ever after? 
Or is her heartache enough to keep him at arm's length?




 Cat gives this one 3 meows with 3 purr heat index...

The Heartache of Life is book 6 in the Working Girls Series but it stands alone just fine. Gemma was happy, seventeen years old with the world to look forward to when in a matter of hours her life was turned upside down. Her father and uncle both died in a plane crash, the evil worker of her dads company takes it over, locked her out of her house with just a suitcase and no money and she finds herself on the streets. After a bad few weeks, losing a friend that was her only help, a woman takes her in and is kind then drops the bomb that she owes her and she expects her to marry a special man or work for her as a prostitute so she goes with the man. He is kind, puts her in college, lets her work in his business and all is great. Until she meets Taylor a new lawyer for their company and Robert shows his true colors.

I thought the actual story in this book is really good. All Gemma goes through is heartbreaking and angsty and you wonder how she manages.  There is a lot going on in the story, more ups and downs than I mentioned. I liked that the story was true to life... crap happens to the best of us...but I will say, I really had to suspend my believability because I had a couple of little issues. First, at the beginning how did this worker just take over when there was a will? I know Gemma was only 17, but usually someone is provided to take care of the trust and Gemma until she was 18 or even 21. Then after the next big hurdle, she went through leaving her wealthy, she moves into a house share with two other girls and works as a stripper. I am sure this was to bring in the series Working Girls and also introduce us to a few of them, but I felt it was a bit much, like a second story in this one. Maybe she could have met the girls somewhere and become friends? Don't get me wrong, I actually loved these girls and the friendship, the stripping just didn't fit for me.
 
So all in all it is a good story with a lot going on. It does show that life is not easy and heartache can make us stronger. I cried a time or two for poor Gemma. I even began to like Taylor, the love interest, by the end of the book. So if you like angsty stories, trials of life, friends, and a very good happy ever after... this is for you. 









KL Humphreys lives in Ireland with the love of her life and her baby girl. In a way, the world has him to thank for her debut novel, Deadly Hunt. After years of thinking about writing the story that had been dying to get out of her head, she finally confided in her other half. He gave her all the encouragement she needed to get the story out, he has been with her every step of the way.
KL loves music, especially pop, R'n'B and rap and if she's writing you will find it playing somewhere nearby. She also loves all romance novels but of course, Romantic Suspense is her go-to genre. When she isn't writing it...it's a good bet she is curled up somewhere reading it.
