So, let’s get started with today’s spotlight:

Where to follow Anna Penteras
Love on the notes of destiny – Anna PenterasAnna is a young woman living in Turin with a troubled past and a difficult life. She is looking for a job as dog sitter to make ends meet. Jonathan is a very reserved international actor. Tired to be in the public eye, he decides to move with his dog to an anonymous neighbourhood, right in the same city, in search of a corner of peace. A fortuitous meeting between the two will change both their lives.
Along the way they will have to face enemies…. Will they be able to defeat them with the strength of their love?
A partially autobiographical story.
An extract from Love on the notes of destiny
Why don’t we start with: ‘A long time ago’? Is that too much of a fairy tale? Yes, indeed. However, what you are about to read is about twenty-five years before the story that comes next. Complicated? Maybe Meaningless? Probably, for you. But what do you want… I’m only thirteen.
Happy reading.

- Built on Ruins – Kate S Toll
This is a regular feature, where I shine a light on an indie/ small print/ debut author who has submitted their details to me on the Indie spotlight page.
So, let’s get started with today’s spotlight:
Indie spotlight: Kate S Toll
About Kate S Toll:
Katie is a queer indie author who loves to write stories about queer people who go on adventures, fight the evil and fall in love.
Where to follow Kate S Toll
Built on Ruins – Kate S TollGenerations after The End, there are two ways of living — Gangs of scavengers roam the Wilds and hunt for relics of lost times, while the re-settlers spend their lives building a new civilization on the ruins of the old. Jan Xiaoli is the leader of Ryningare City — one of the largest and most prosperous settlements this side of the Rift. With the purist movement growing stronger, the scavengers getting more hostile, and the incurable disease spreading, ruling the city feels like sitting on a ticking time bomb.
When he meets Shi Saxe, the infamous Vulture, who lives alone in the Wilds, Jan Xiaoli feels as though the storm raging around him is sneaking its way into his heart as well.
An extract from Built on Ruins
The Vulture is leaning against his bike, which is a beast of a machine to Jan Xiaoli’s eyes —scratched and rusty but powerful. He’s tall and thin but not in the way of someone who starves. There’s enough muscle on his bones to make him efficient in a fight. His dark brown jacket and pants with many pockets are distinctly before-the-End, and he’s wearing an ugly mask on his head. Jan notices the beak-like shape but doesn’t get a good look because while he walks closer, the scavenger takes it off. He shakes his head and runs a hand through his hair which is, indeed, dyed bright blue.
The hair color is not what shocks Jan Xiaoli the most about his appearance. It’s his face. It’s definitely not mutilated. In fact, it’s a very handsome face —symmetrical and soft, too delicate to match his rugged visage or the rumors that precede him. Jan can see what makes people wary of the man, though. No matter how attractive his features are, his expression is cold and closed off. He watches the world like he wants to burn it down. “Shi Saxe, the Vulture?” Jan Xiaoli calls in place of a greeting. The scavenger cocks his head. “It’s a stupid nickname,”he says. The words roll off his tongue lazily like he has all the time in the world at his disposal.

- The Battle Over Britain – Simon Brading
This is a regular feature, where I shine a light on an indie/ small print/ debut author who has submitted their details to me on the Indie spotlight page.
So, let’s get started with today’s spotlight:
Indie spotlight: Simon Brading
About Simon Brading:
Simon doesn’t stick to a single genre in his writing, instead he tells the stories that he wants to. Up to now that has included YA, sci-fi, steampunk and even ballet books for children, but he has ideas for quite a few other things and he will continue to write whatever catches his imagination.
Where to follow Simon Brading
The Battle Over Britain – Simon BradingThe Second Great War is going poorly for the Kingdom of Britain – the British Isles are under siege and the only thing standing between the all-conquering Prussian army and victory is a thin strip of blue water and the gallant men and women of the Royal Aviator Corps.
Aviator Sergeant Gwen Stone is one of those women, but almost as soon as she begins her fight against the Prussian air force, Die Fliegertruppe, she is stripped of her wings and imprisoned in disgrace for illegally modifying her aircraft.
As the battle over the skies of Britain progresses and it looks like the Prussians are going to be as dominant in the air as they were on the fields of the continent, the hopes of the beleaguered nation come to rest firmly on the shoulders of Misfit Squadron, an elite group of pilots who don’t always pay strict attention to military discipline, and Gwen is given a chance to redeem herself by joining them.
The “Misfit Squadron” series is an open-ended Steampunk series set in an alternate World War 2, chronicling the adventures of a squadron of elite British pilots flying purpose-built machines against the Prussian Empire.
