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!

In the quiet woods of Thaloria, Eleanor Labrelle lives a sheltered life—until her mother, Zara, dies with a final, haunting wish: that Eleanor returns to the court of Wonderworth and claim her birthright. With nothing left to tether her, Eleanor ventures into the infamous Outlands—an ancient, cursed forest no soul crosses unchanged. What awaits on the other side is a kingdom of splendour and secrets, where power is currency, and every smile may hide a dagger.
Eleanor finds an unlikely connection with Prince Roman of Bravethorne—a man bound to another by duty yet drawn to Eleanor by fate. Their bond deepens into forbidden love, igniting tensions within the Court and threatening fragile alliances between kingdoms.
Where the Crown Fell is a sweeping tale of forbidden love, political intrigue, and a young woman’s fight to step out of exile and into power—if she can survive long enough to claim it.

Once upon a time…something broke. And the horror got in
A chilling reimagining of fairy tales in an anthology rewritten by fear, technology, vengeance and obsession. It’s what you think you know, but corrupted by the algorithm.
Where myths meet malware, folklore feeds on followers , and happy endings? Well, that would be a no…
Ever After Glitched delivers thirteen stories that blend familiar cues with psychological horror, contemporary nightmares and digital dystopia.
These are the stories that used to send us to sleep, now back to keep us awake.

Meet Red the live horror streamer who trends on fear but whose watchers want more. The whistleblower exposing the corrupt truth tech fuelling an ‘’Emperor’s” nightmare ambitions. The influencers perfect crimson stilettos that feed on more than followers. The grieving scientist who builds a boy from code and skin but whose lies have inhuman repercussions. The off grid ‘bears’ whose home harbours horrific secrets and memories that have no place returning. Reality Tv’s ‘fairest’ star, and biggest victim , who turns her trauma into bloody vengeance.

An extract from
My dress had arrived yesterday night in a pristine white box with silver embossed letters next to an ornate ribbon flower on the lid. It was a white menen dress with a bodice so tight I needed to be strapped into it. I kept him waiting for about ten minutes before the elevator opened into the common room. He was looking at me like I was something he had never seen before.
He just sort of stood there for a moment, while absentmindedly dropping his arm to reveal a nice pastel bouquet of peonies from behind his back. “Sorry I’m late.” I said walking towards him. His hair was swept back in a bun which made him look imperial. I tried very hard not to stare at him too long. It was not easy. He was wearing a grey suit, which was unlike him. I would have thought he would have gone for a bolder color. I told him the flowers were pretty, and that seemed to wake him up. He shook his head and smiled when gave them to me. He might have looked embarrassed, but I can’t be sure.

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.”
