Here's a great idea, and I know some authors already do this but in my opinion not enough do. A review swap is simply just that. Authors share their books with each other and take the time to read the books then give out a review of the book. Honestly who better to give a professional review?
Writing is most of the time a competition: We all want to be ranked number one, however, we should be gracious and support one another as well. The top readers are of course authors (no I'm not saying that all readers are authors, what I am saying is that obviously authors are readers and seeing as though this is at times their main profession they would be considered top notch readers).
Writing should never be a competition between authors, each one of us knows how difficult it is to make it in this profession, so we all should be showing some support and reviewing each others books.
Give it a go, we all know another author, grab a copy of their book and leave a review. I do it, why aren't you?
Here is the link to my book The Immortal Design.

If you want to do a book swap contact me.
Also, the book is $1.99 to buy as an eBook, or if you are a member of Amazon prime its free.

OMG! Though this is not a genre I normally read. I could not put the book down.
The mystery and chemistry within the pages, intrigued me, making me what to hurry up and finish the book. And get the answers to my questions, yet when I was finished, i was disappointed. NOT in the story by any means, but in myself for being so impatient.
I wanted to slap myself. So what did i do? Yes, I went back and read it a second time.

Review by: Paul Zunckel on April 28, 2015 :
This is an amazing story, a wonderful fresh approach to the Dracula Saga and it falls into the category of a real page turner, and that is what it did to me, as I had the privilege of reading The Immortal Design while the author was traveling down the dark road, and she kept me waiting for the next chapter, and wanting more.
The two main characters are really great, and the love that simmers under the surface of all the deceit,horror and history in the story will have you reaching out to them and supporting them as the story reaches its climax.
This is a very well written book, and the author put her heart and soul into it, and I wish her all the best.
The Immortal Design will transport you into another world,and at the end of the journey, you will close the book, sit back and say,"Man that was a great read."

Jonathan is a typical high school kid, with a very strange lineage. Then his friend, Pete, goes missing, only to turn up in a hospital with a fantastic tale: Jonathan's girlfriend saved him from a wolf attack and carried him to the hospital.
Jonathan's girlfriend Willa, the new foreign exchange student, is exactly what she tells everyone she is, a vampire. When her past comes back to bite her, she must save Jonathen, even if it means sacrificing herself.
Great read with classic elements of Dracula, and Van Helsing.

Love is For Suckers... A review
Sorry I have not posted in a couple of days... I know "how dare I?" Well, I have to take time out for reading, so I can post these reviews for you. This time, I have been reading two books at once but I'm going to start with Love is for Suckers by Matt R Jones.
I'll need say this, this short story is just that, a short story that gives us a glimpse into the world of The Hollywood Vampires series.... and it has me hooked for more!
This short story is action packed and full of energy. A perfect read for adrenaline junkies who love to read. Matt brings out a ton of imagery and detail to make you feel as though you are right there on the back of the vampire seeing through his eyes, hearing with his ears, and feeling every hard packed crunch and snap of his body or the bodies that pile up around him.
Matt has over 30 published works under his belt, and is an extremely accomplished writer. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more of his books. This is definitely NOT your typical vampire story and if you are like me and your still loving the 80's then this is a book for you along with the other titles Matt has published...
Loved it 5 stars for sure!!!
now, go get a copy.

The Escape : Eve Ate the Apple Book One; A Review
Wow where do I even begin with this one? I'll start with the words taken from the book cover: "A Forbidden Love. A Daring Escape. An Epic Adventure."- Seven Steps, Author.
Well that really about sums it up! This book truly has it all. I admit I am not one for Science Fiction, with that said, I am so overly happy that I got a chance to read this book and met with the Author Seven Steps.
It is a difficult thing to bring about a completely unique story, but Seven Steps has fully accomplished this with her book. I am almost at a loss for words after reading this story( I said ALMOST). So moving on. The story begins on a futuristic Venus where women are the rulers, and men are reduced to servants. Our two main characters adore their slaves, in fact they love them, one outright declares from the get go, although her slave knows all too well the consequences of their love will mean certain death for the both of them. The second character tries in vain not to care for her slave, but soon comes to realize that she has been kidding herself the entire time, she does love him, and will do anything to ensure his safety.
With out giving away too many spoilers (you will just have to buy the book and read for yourself what happens) there is a great escape and the women along with their slaves, and two mysterious children, are on the run. They time jump to Earth. Unfortunately they landed in the wrong era, and most definitely in the wrong place.. (how's the saying go? Out of the frying pot into the fire?? It's been too long for me to remember)
Peril and an unforeseen loss mixed with tragedy, war, and new found freedom make for an epic adventure. There is a mystery here that needs to be solved, our adventurers are loosing their memories, the only thing holding them together is the overwhelming sense, that they belong together through the bond of love and friendship.
I give this book 4.5 stars out 5. If Seven Steps, hasn't yet landed a book deal with a publishing company she really should be!! You will be hard pressed to find such a beautifully written well told story like this one. Move over Arthur C Clark, there's some new competition in town and the name is Seven Steps!

The Immortal Design
I write a lot about other Authors and their works, I review them and occasionally give out an interview.... I love this.
What I have not talked about is my own books. That's right, I am an AUTHOR as well (if you didn't already know that where have you been?).
My last book I wrote I consider my best by far, ( I won't go on about how many free copies I have given away, and the fact that I gave out those copies on good faith that I would get at least a handful of reviews or ratings) The book is called THE IMMORTAL DESIGN. It is a paranormal romance (of sorts) in the Young Adult genre.... Here is the link to the book where you can purchase it....http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WBRO0O2?*Version*=1&*entries*=0

THE IMMORTAL DESIGN
Johnathan Stokes is the
Great-Great-Great Grandson of Bram Stoker author of Dracula. He has been
unknowingly trained as a vampire assassin by his father Kenneth Stokes, who is
the head of The Order of the Dragon, a secretive Order that has dedicated
themselves to carrying on with Bram Stoker’s work; tracking and destroying
vampires. Johnathan’s family is one of the wealthiest families in the country,
and Johnathan has everything he could ever want; except his freedom from his
father’s reign.
When Willa Alucard comes
to town as a foreign exchange student, Johnathan’s world is turned upside down.
Willa, is not your typical foreign exchange student, she is running from her
own past. Born of Royalty and the one true vampire himself Dracula and Mina
Harker, she has been brought up by her older brother Mihial. Willa is not a
full-fledged vampire, she was born after Mina was turned back to a human, as
Van Helsing (who turns out to be Bram Stoker himself) murdered Dracula. The two
are drawn to each other like moths to a flame. Together they discover they were
meant to be mortal enemies, but as Johnathan’s mother says; sometimes The
Immortal Design has other plans.
Sound interesting to you?(Well it did to me! I suppose that is why I wrote it). In my book you will find, mystery, romance, intrigue, deception, murder, and a unique answer to what happened to your favorite characters of Bram Stoker's Dracula (which let's face it is a classic!)
There is a story within a story in this book and for some reason it has been over looked, by readers (except for those who read the free version). I am not only trying to get you to take look at my own work, but I am giving you a huge example, of where things can go wrong in the self publishing world. I have had an offer for this book, however it was from a vanity press, and I will not pay thousands of dollars to publish my book! I have had several publishers interested in the story, however, I like so many others was to eager to get my book out there, I was turned down, because I published it first, then sent it out to publishers.... If I had only took my own advice in the beginning!! Well now I (and you too hopefully) now better. All good things come to those who wait...
