Grab my hand- Indie Authors Against Bullying
Grab my hand- Indie Authors Against Bullying
Watch the YouTube video here that started this campaign by Indie Authors to stand up against bullying.
This made me so sad. As a mother, the thought of my children going through hell day in and day out because of bullying makes me feel ill. Many victims feel alone. This makes me sad too.
What can we do? It's been happening since the beginning of time right? Well right...but in my opinion, now days with technology expanding at the rate that it is, there's now an opportunity for Bully's to torment their prey 24/7. There's no escape and nowhere to hide from them, and not only can the bully's attack in person and online, but they can also take it to a global audience--imagine that?
Grab my hand is a very timely and simple gesture.
Reach out and offer a hand to someone who might need it and anyone who's suffering in silence--reach out and grab that hand! There is help and there are people who care...REACH OUT.

The 4 step guide to a great weekend!
Are you in a reading slump? Do you have a hankering for a hot hero and a feisty heroine? Well follow these 4 simple steps and your boring weekend can instantly be elevated!!! (Click on the book titles.)
Step 1. Operation Summer Storm
Summer Sheldon holds the key to his freedom-for a price. Her demands are simple--rescue her journalist sister from a rebel hostage camp and she'll hand over the evidence to clear his name. There's just one small catch. He has to take her with him. From the depths of a Cambodian jungle to the tropical paradise of the Philippines, two unlikely allies are forced to learn how to coexist or lose everything each holds dear.
Together they must expose a truth that leaves them both vulnerable to the ruthless killer behind Tate's nightmare. Murder, blackmail, and injustice brought them together. Will Tate and Summer save Willow and restore Tate's reputation in time, or will they pay the ultimate price for honor?
Peter Delaware is a man on a
mission. His job is to save Willow Sheldon's delectable, but antagonizing butt,
before she gets herself killed. Unfortunately, she has no intention of making
his job easy.
As a photojournalist, Willow
Sheldon’s job has often taken her to some dangerous places, but when Peter
'Del' Delaware comes to her rescue, suddenly it's no longer the hostile
environment that poses the greatest threat to her safety.
On the trail of an elusive weapons dealer,
Willow is determined to bring the man responsible for the nightmare of her
past, to justice. If in doing so she also gets the scoop of the decade, then
all the better.
From the tropics of the south
pacific, to the jungles of South America, these two unlikely allies must learn
to let down their defenses in order to make it out alive.
She needed help…someone
brave…someone tough…someone like a rough and ready Marine.
For Chase Maloney, everyone around
him seemed to be moving on, while he was simply marking time. When he decided to take a short break from
groomsmen duties to go fishing, the last thing he expected to catch was a
beautiful woman!
It wasn't in his nature to turn his back on
anyone in distress—especially not a woman… and especially not one who made him
want to rethink his entire future. But
protecting Mercy would prove somewhat difficult when she fought him every step
of the way to keep him from getting mixed up in her problems.
Can they outrun a vicious killer,
and hand over the evidence to convict him, in time? Or will he find them first
and inflict swift vengeance?
Step 4. Operation Date with Destiny
Johnny Tupperoni; US Marine and
infamous ladies’ man has found himself naked and tied to a bed with no memory
of how he got there! The one thing he does remember though is the sassy woman
in the red satin dress with angel wings tattooed across her back.
Destiny is a desperate woman. Her
younger brother’s been abducted and she knows exactly who has him. She’ll do
anything to get him back—even kidnap the one man with the experience to pull
off her dangerous plan. Why? Because next to her, no one wants to avenge Samuel
Tre’ago against the crimes he’s committed more than, Johnny Tupperoni.
A common enemy will unite
them…but will Destiny’s secret be the weapon that ultimately destroys
them?

I've been BLINDSIDED
What an amazing few months!! It's been 6 weeks since Operation Swift Mercy was released and I couldn't be happier with the way it's going.
In the next week or so, the fourth and final book of my Operation series, Operation Date with Destiny, will be released.+(1).jpg)
Now, I'm working on a brand new book. New characters, new stories and I can't wait to reveal the cover for BLINDSIDED.

Louise Wise’s books
I love romance but I also like it with a little something else be it sci-fi or comedy. I also demand realism. I like to keep it real, as they say. With my first novel I mixed science-fiction with romance, but because I don’t like hard-core sci-fi with strange, unpronounceable names and anything machinery (mention something metallic and shiny and my eyes glaze over) I thought I’d find readers for my sci-fi difficult to find. But I was wrong. Eden is selling extremely well, which, for an indie author is pretty good!
Here’s the blurb for Eden:
Imagine being stranded.
No way of getting home.
No telephone, no computer, no shelter.
No food.
Now imagine the place you're stranded is another planet.
Then you realise you're not alone after all...

My true fluffy chick lit is A Proper Charlie. She’s annoying as hell, but you can’t help loving her. It was fun to write and I could let the comic in me out!
Here’s the blurb for A Proper Charlie:
She's losing her job.
She's losing her boyfriend.
She can only afford to eat spaghetti hoops on toast.
She's called Charlie... or Charlotte, or ginger, ginge, Duracell,
carrot. Yet with all these odds against her, she pushes forward to
take the lead story on her paper at London Core.
Shame no one knows. Shame she's the office general assistant and not a real journalist.
Shame it's on missing prostitutes and Charlie thinks pretending to be a 'tart
with a heart' will get her that story. She doesn't just get a story. She becomes the starring role.

My latest release is another chick lit with the big title The Fall of the Misanthrope: I bitch, therefore I am. With this I’ve mixed depression into the pot. Most of us have suffered with this illness one way or another, from mild baby-blues to full blown Fluoxetine depression. My main character, Valerie, thinks she’s a hard-as-nails business woman. She looks at everyone with contempt, and snarls instead of talks. She needs chick lit love, doesn’t she?
Here’s the blurb for The Fall of the Misanthrope: I bitch, therefore I am.
Valerie Anthrope lives alone and works alone. She is a bitch that no one wants to be around, and that suits her fine.
But busybody, Ellen, is watching her and wants to ‘mend’ Valerie. In fact, she makes it her mission. She thinks she’s a struggling broker for Sunny Oak Brokerage and coerces her rich nephew into buying insurance. But nephew Lex wants Valerie to become another notch on his bedpost.
While Valerie brings Lex down a peg or three, Lex teaches Valerie that life is for the living. Only neither Lex nor Ellen realise that Valerie is cursed, and the very reason that she is a bitch is that it keeps people from dying.
Welcome to the dark side of chick lit.
Louise also blogs at: http://louisewise.com and she’s accepting guest posts and other indie books for her Book Junkies library. Follow her blog, fire her an email and she’ll gladly add your book to the many others.
