Today our book is going to be featured on Novel D'Tales. It's a great blog about using your kindle, reading, and book reviews.
After some time of using Twitter, we came to meet @HilyBee, she's a person that is always there for a RT (Repeating and spreading the word about what you tweeted, for the none Tweeters). She's the person behind the blog and has just finished reading our book The Missing.
As most of you know, there was that moment of apprehension when she finished - will she love it or hate it? Well the good news is, she loved it and is posting a review on her blog as her first review of the year!!!
Please, stop by and check out her blog, give her a follow if you're interested in finding out about new books. Thank you Hilary, we appreciate your review and are beyond glad that you enjoyed it.

M. Urban Mythos
You Should Read Urban Mythos!
Earlier this week, I finished reading Urban Mythos by Jay Eckert and all I can say is that it was an amazing book.
I first "Internet" met Jay about a year ago, when we started this whole blogging thing. Just from reading his blog and the way that he wrote his posts, I knew that I would love anything he wrote. So, a few months ago, when I found out he was self-publishing his YA novel Urban Mythos, I was one of the first to buy it.
However, as it always does, life got in the way as well as a stack of books that I was already reading. Instead of reading it right away, I let it just stew inside the depths of my computer and wait for me to be ready.
The other day was that day. I picked it up and began to read. Just like most stories that are amazing, I didn't want to put it down. I put off blogging, some writing, and a few hours of sleep. Believe me, it was worth it.
There were great characters, plot twists, turns, and a surprises that I am still shaking my head at. The story, the writing, and the voice did not disappoint. I am glad to have had the opportunity to have gotten to know Jay and read his book. I would recommend it to anybody that loves to read, that is the only prerequisite that is needed to enjoy it.
Please check it out, I promise you won't be disappointed.

M. Reviewing Your Own Work
Have you ever written something then read it to check it for errors. I am sure that you all have, if you are a writer then you have to every time that you write something down. That really isn't what I am wondering. What I want to know is do you ever know what you want to say then write something, thinking that it says what you want it to say, and then go back and reread it thinking that it says the right thing? I know that is a long confusing question but I am trying here.
Think of it this way. You want to say, I went to the hall. But you write I went to the ball. They appear similar aside from the B and H right. Except you have been staring at text the whole day and all you can think about is what you wanted to say and you end up skimming over the section, possibly several times. Maybe this only happens to me but I think that if I didn't have a partner to read behind me then 50% of my mistakes would be missed.
