As this blog grows, I want to do something good with it, so I wanted to save space for Indie or debut authors with small publishing houses to spotlight their books. Especially as I hope to amongst you one day.
Submit your book via the form below, please be aware, I will copy the information you give as it is written, so make sure you’re happy with it!
*PLEASE NOTE* due to the volume of submissions (yay!) it may be a few months/ up to a year until your spotlight will be posted. I post the spotlights once a week and they are receiving steady traffic, so I still think it’s valuable, but I also wanted to be honest.
ALL submissions will eventually be posted, I promise. If you have a release date please include it in ‘other comments’ and if I am able to, I will get you as close to that date as I can but I cannot promise this.
Supporting Indie authors in this small way has bought me so much pride and joy, so thank you for your submission!

A Race Against Shadows – A Destiny of Shadow and Ash – J.A. Watson
The once-great continent of Eridaea has been shattered by war and conquest for a millennium. The mad king Brannon Danvonar, hungry for power and determined to lead the broken land back to its former glory, has forced all but one of Eridaea’s kingdoms to fly the green wolf banner of the Valdese Empire, aided by his most fearsome weapon: the mysterious and powerful Witch of Valda.
It has been three years since seventeen-year-old Istra Sanvoan was torn from the arms of her siblings and forced to become Brannon’s Witch. Tired of being the king’s most dangerous pet and horrified to learn of his discovery of the one weapon that could bring the world to its knees, she takes a chance and joins forces with the Valdese crown princess and a rebel spy, escaping Valda to reunite with her older sister and chase after a promise of rebellion in the north.
But Brannon Danvonar is a powerful man, and sinister forces plot against the runaways as they travel through enemy territory. Istra, the princess, and the spy must battle their demons and learn to trust each other before it is too late, for if they are to stand a chance against the might of the Valdese Empire, they will have to become the saviors Eridaea needs…lest the continent face its doom.
An extract from A Race Against Shadows
“In the end, a king without the support of his people was no more significant than the common person, disregarded by his kingdom and unblessed by the gods. Father feared that more than anything else. That was why he ruled through fear and not respect, because there was something inside him that would always crave power, no matter the sacrifice. He was the most dangerous kind of dreamer—the kind who was never satisfied—and he would spend his entire life chasing after a feeling of ecstasy that he had tasted once before, long ago, but would never set eyes upon again.”

As the boy next door, Wes was one of Evie’s closest childhood friends. Somewhere between playing out scenes from their favorite movie and listening to Wesley’s endless mixtapes, Evie fell in love. As the old friends catch up after years apart, Evie realizes she never fell out of love with Wesley, and begins to wonder if her feelings for him might not be as one-sided as she always assumed.
While her mom attempts to find Evie’s perfect match, Evie can’t help thinking she’s already found him. Too bad he’s only in town for a week…
Matchmaking & Mixtapes is a childhood-friends-to-lovers, best friend’s brother romantic comedy set in the fictional town of Bellevue, Ontario, Canada. Full of banter, crackling chemistry, and plenty of swoons, this is a kissing-only romance with mild language. It’s the first in the Best Friends & Birthdays Series.
