Blogger Book Fair Donations

Hi there! I've had a lot of participants say that they would like to have BBF advertised more. Since I already donate tons of time to BBF, I can not afford to also donate money. That is where the new donation fund comes in. Any money donated to the new fund will be used for advertising first and prizes in BBF giveaways second. These are the ONLY things this money will be used for. I'll come up with some sort of ratio: 80% ads and 20% prizes? I don't know yet. You can suggest a ratio in the comments if you'd like.

The ads will be focused on BBF and not individual authors or books to be fair to everyone. The prizes will likely be Amazon Gift Cards or something like that.

If you would like to donate, please click on the Paypal donation widget in the left panel. You can donate any amount and any amount will help. Thank you!

Blogger Book Fair Closing Post

Blogger Book Fair is coming to a close, but don't worry! BBF will be back and better than ever in July!

This awesome event has had over 4,000 page views in the last four days, and that is just on this blog. On my blog I had over 800 views on my own blog which is about double what I normally get. I've also gained new followers and new friends-authors and readers alike. I'm very happy with this event and I want to thank everyone who participated either as an author, blogger, or reader. I hope to see you all at the next fair and I hope you bring your friends!

Before you go, make sure that you didn't miss anything. I'll be leaving the directory up for a while so you can easily find the blogs and authors that participated.

I'll also be updating the BBF Reader's Choice Awards page very soon. Until then, you can see who won HERE.

Don't forget to follow the BBF blog to stay up to date on news like date announcements, sign up opening, and theme announcements. July is only six months away, so don't miss us too much!

Alexandra Allred

Alexandra Allred is the author of Damaged Goods and the upcoming releases White Trash and Roadkill. All of them are Dramadies--a cross between drama and comedy--and are also mysteries. Alexandra has a brand new blog on which she will feature Tom Immins during the Blogger Book Fair. Here are the blurbs for her books:

Damaged Goods:


On paper, Marcus, Texas, looks like any other small town in Texas. Its landscape is charming, lifelong residents have a shared history, and business is booming. But soon after Joanna Lucas moves to town, she makes startling discoveries. Her next door neighbor had her leg gnawed off by a loose tiger, a beer-drinking emu lurks on her property, and her real estate agent neglected to mention that something in Marcus was making the residents very sick. While Joanna ponders hiring illegal immigrants to work on her newly acquired but dilapidated house, others are wondering about Joanna. Is she the one? Could she be the outsider they have been looking for to turn things upside-down and reveal the ugly truth?

With such heavy topics as corporate greed, industrial pollution, illegal immigrants, and corrupt politicians, only the residents of Marcus could make Damaged Goods a comedy. Prepare to cheer and laugh out loud as they fight city hall!

Available Now
Amazon
The Writer's Coffee Shop Publishing House (On Sale for $4.99 during BBF!)

White Trash:

When Thia Franks returns to her hometown of Granby, Texas, the very place to which she’d vowed never to return, Granby’s worst and best elements force the new single mother to face both her past and her destiny. At first, it seems that nothing has changed: Chester Kennedy’s goats continue to run rampant through the town, Officer Tina Wolfe stands accused of racial profiling the growing Hispanic community, Thia’s gun-wielding neighbor believes a squirrel has it in for her, and the town’s local newspaper owner prints only what she believes the citizens should know. But when a young black man–-an upstanding and popular citizen of the small, east-central Texas town–-is brutally murdered, everything changes. Everyone is being watched. Everyone is being judged.

Coming July 2013!


Roadkill:

A Dramatic Murder Mystery Comedy. Coming August 2013!


Nathan Squiers

Nathan Squiers is the author of The Crimson Shadow Series which includes two novels and a number of short stories that go along with them. The paranormal thriller novels are titled Noir and Sins of the Father. Another novel on his roster is Curtain Call: A Death Metal Novel. You can read about all of these below. He will also be featuring authors on his blogs during the fair.

Crimson Shadow: Noir


**This book contains mild graphic language that may not be suitable for younger readers**

Xander Stryker wants to die. Ever since witnessing his mother's murder at the hands of his abusive stepfather when he was a boy, he has spent every day trying to reach that goal. But every night he's denied the death he craves. When his eighteenth birthday approaches,an unforeseen chance for change is offered when his life is plunged into chaos and he's dragged into a supernatural world of vampires and other creatures of darkness. Caught in the depths of this new reality, mysteries of hissupernatural lineage begin to unravel and Xander is given the ultimate choice: Continue on with his wretched life or begin a new one as the vampire he was always meant to be. Unfortunately, the supernatural world can be just as unforgiving and brutal as any other and Xander's choice is met with disastrous consequences. Now, with the chaos of the new world pressing down on him, his past reemerges and once again threatens to crush him. Will Xander be able to use his new strength to conquer his fears, or will he succumb to his own bloody darkness...

...and allow it to finally destroy him.

Coming Soon!

Crimson Shadow: Sins of the Father

Xander’s had it rough… …and while the trials and tribulations of the young vampire’s life have left him with a fiery rage, things are finally beginning to come together. Armed with his trusty revolvers, Yin and Yang, and a thirst for death and destruction, there is nothing that his expertise and fury can’t stand against! Except the spell-binding Estella… **** Estella finally has her best friend back… …and, despite her many years of training in the art of magic, it wasn’t until recently that she discovered just how deep the paranormal world goes. But no matter how overwhelming the revelations might be, she’s found reassurance and comfort in the depths of Xander’s supernatural embrace… **** With their relationship’s intensity growing, a new threat emerges from Stryker family’s past; one with a personal vendetta and visceral goals. Even with the help of some unlikely new allies, will the paranormal pair(and their blossoming relationship) be able survive the infernal rage?

Coming Soon!

Curtain Call: A Death Metal Novel


A promising career in the music industry was on the horizon for up-and-coming heavy metal band, Bloodtones. Even for their non-human members, this is the opportunity of a lifetime!

Yes, life was good… until it took a hellish turn.

Literally!

After a bizarre encounter, Bloodtones' lead-singer Bekka finds herself sharing her body with a slew of terrified beings and in mortal danger from wraithlike forces capable of superhuman feats.

When fans can be otherworldly assassins and every mood-swing can end in an exploding amp, Bloodtones' rock-solid future is rapidly crumbling before their very eyes. What hope do the five have against a force that neither their magic or paranormal members can begin to explain? With no choice but to fight, Bekka and her band-mates soon find themselves struggling for not only their music…

… but their very lives.

Coming Soon!

A Tasty Nostalgia
Christian's a FREAK
Just Another Night
Killer
LUNA(tic) Parts 1-3
