Dragons of Galicia series by Simone Pond Book Tour & Giveaway
Fire
and Fate
Dragons
of Galicia Series Book 1
by
Simone Pond
Genre:
Epic YA Fantasy
In
Simone Pond’s captivating new fantasy series, a peasant girl
embraces her dragon slayer destiny, calling on the legendary power of
her family’s bloodline to conquer an evil kingdom and kill every
last dragon in Galicia.
Unknowing
descendant of a legendary dragon slayer, Evelyn is convinced that
getting out of her quaint yhamlet is the answer to finding true love
and happiness. But she seems destined to work on her mother’s farm,
while the other girls present themselves before the gallant Prince
Kieran in his quest to find a lady-in-waiting.
When
the prince finally takes notice of Evelyn, he’s smitten and chooses
her above all the others. Evelyn is elated about living in Verubri
Castle and the possibility of marriage. But her happiness is quickly
squelched when the prince invites Evelyn’s arch rival, Ciara, to
join them.
Before
traveling north, Evelyn discovers her dragon slayer ancestry,
something she knows must be concealed from Prince Kieran who
would consider it treason against his kingdom. But the only way to
survive the treacherous journey is to expose herself and possibly
ruin her future and even end her life.
The
Dragons of Galicia series is set in a world inspired by Celtic
legends. Fire and Fate leads directly into the next book in the
series, Fire and Chains.
Fire and Chains
Dragons
of Galicia Series Book 2
In the second book of the
vibrantly depicted Dragons of Galicia Series, Evelyn of Gorias rises
to her dragon slayer calling as she fights to conquer a kingdom of
deceit, betrayal, and powerful dragons.
Though Evelyn survived the journey
across the mountain ranges, the challenges
are just beginning. Verubri Castle holds dark secrets, Prince Kieran
is a tyrant, and Ciara is resolute on destroying Evelyn and seducing
the prince.
When a
dragon nearly burns down an entire village, Evelyn must go after the
beast. But this won’t be easy, not when the prince has her heavily
guarded. Evelyn’s hope wains, until she encounters a stranger who
changes the course of everything.
With the looming threat of the
entire clan of Galician Dragons being reawakened, Evelyn must hurry
to save the kingdom, while Ciara aims to rule it. To accomplish their
goals, they must defeat Prince Kieran. In their individual struggles
to conquer and prevail, Evelyn and Ciara face external and internal
demons they never imagined possible.
Fire
and Blood
Dragons
of Galicia Series Book 3
In
the final book of the Dragons of Galicia Series, every turn is
fraught with dangerous threats in the quest to save the kingdom.
Narrowly
escaping the castle to be captured by a dragon is only the beginning
of Evelyn’s problems. The list of opponents grows as she battles
Ciara, Prince Kieran’s army, and
more dragons.
With
the neighboring villages being burned and pillaged, Evelyn must pull
together her own army of dragon warriors to fight the prince and his
knights. As her love for Doran
deepens, she’ll do anything to ensure he stays alive, even at the
cost of going to battle without him.
As
the war reaches an explosive peak, both Evelyn and Ciara face deadly
consequences. And the only way to save the north from total
destruction is for Evelyn to trust her most deceitful adversary,
Ciara. If the two don’t join forces, all will be lost.

Not Dead Yet Book Tour & Giveaway by Samie Sands
Not Dead Yet
AM13 Outbreak Series Book 4
by Samie Sands
Genre: Horror, Post- Apocalyptic
The
AM13 Outbreak has affected everywhere, the entire world has
experienced infection.
Victims
of the virus are no longer human, they've changed, become something
scientifically impossible. With their loss of human function and
their new lust for flesh, there’s only one word to describe
them...
Zombies.
The
world is divided as everyone tries to work out how to survive. Many
have already lost their lives
in
the fight, but there are still a few who are not dead...
Yet!
Don't miss the other books in
the AM13 Outbreak Series!
Lockdown
AM13 Outbreak Series Book 1
Forgotten
AM13 Outbreak Series
Book 2
Extinct
AM13 Outbreak Series
Book 3
1.
Can you tell us a
little bit about the characters in Extinct?
The
main character is Georgie Blake, a zombie author who certainly never expected
to end up in what feels like the pages of her book. By the time we get to Extinct, the apocalypse has been going
on for a while (although each book in the series can easily be read as
standalone!), but she still isn’t used to it. Tom Cleary is another major
character and he’s the one who causes Georgie the most concern. She just cannot
work out where his motives and loyalties lie…
2.
Do the characters
all come to you at the same time or do some of them come to you as you write?
I start
out with an idea of the characters I want to include in the plot, but as I
write new ones often make an appearance in my mind. Also the ones I’ve started
out with don’t turn out as planned. I have one idea of them in my brain, but
the plot often takes on a life of it’s own and it changes them with it. I
prefer that though, I think it makes the end result of them more organic.
3.
What kind of
research do you do before you begin writing a book?
I did a
lot more research for the second book in the series, Forgotten, because one of the characters is a scientist trying to
solve the problem of the virus. I had to do a lot of in depth research into
some very interesting biology then!
4.
Describe yourself
in 5 words or less!
I
didn’t know how to answer this one, so I asked my five year old daughter! This
is what she said: sharing, cuddling, nice, helpful, and fun…not too bad!! 😊
5.
How did you come up
with the concept and characters for the book?
I
enjoyed writing Georgie in this book, since she’s an introverted zombie book
writer. I could relate to her more than any of my other characters. I enjoyed
creating a character that always wants to do the right thing, but in this
situation since this is a new world, she doesn’t know what the right thing is!
6.
What did you enjoy
most about writing this book?
I loved writing all the books in the AM13 Outbreak series because they can
all be read as standalone which allows for the introduction of new characters
and situations. Some readers love the slightly vapid Leah from Lockdown, others like the plucky
teenager, Alyssa, from Forgotten, but
the best feedback I’ve had is for Georgie in Extinct. She’s flawed and doesn’t always make the right choice, but
I think that makes her more realistic.
7.
Tell us about your
main characters- what makes them tick?
Georgie is introverted which makes it hard for her
to push herself, but she can do it when she thinks she’s doing the right thing.
The reader might not always agree with her, sometimes it might be like yelling
‘don’t go in there’ at a movie screen, but I’m sure everyone would make
mistakes in panic during the apocalypse.
8.
Do you have any
advice to give aspiring writers?
Don’t
give up! It isn’t always easy and you will face rejection and negativity, but
as with anything creative not everyone will like your stuff. Just don’t give up
and it’ll all be worth it in the end.
