Cathy’s been a huge support to many of us authors at FVP. We’re so excited to read her new book!!! Check it out…
Back in high school, Lily Wang wanted to be popular, but she considered herself lucky to be part of a tight group of oddballs and honors students called the Nerd Herd. Now, at twenty-eight, she feels like she’s finally on the cusp of succeeding as a beauty influencer—if she can hit five million subscribers, brands will take notice and she could get her own makeup line.
Fellow Nerd Herd alum Tobin Bui has had a lot of success as a YouTube gamer. But the road to online stardom has been rocky. First, he disappointed his parents by dropping out of college, and now, after years of pranks, skits, and playthroughs, he’s struggling to come up with…

A review on the first book of Victoria Bastedo’s new Fantasy Mystery series…
Flintelf (Exili’s Excellent Elucidation Services, #1) by Victoria Bastedo
A Fantasy/Cozy Mystery novel published by Amazon Digital Services (10/13/2020)
Summary:
“What made the pure elves in the past great, or their bloodline desirable, if it wasn’t the quality of their souls, and their actions?”
Exili has started his own business of elucidation. His clients are also victims. Potential victims, if he can convince them to pay him to prevent their murder, that is. Exili’s next potential client happens to also be a previous school mate. Exili and Goodall hadn’t spoken since school when they had a falling out. Exili doesn’t want his client to die, but he’s also annoyed that he’s got to convince Goodall to hire him. Why couldn’t it be someone else stalked by a murderer?

A great book review and fun interview of Author, Kennedy J. Quinn by fantasy Author, D. Wallace Peach…
I’m taking a break from my break to bring you a highly recommended series and new release from blogger and writer, Kennedy J. Quinn (aka Sheri). I’ve read the first two books in The Unwitting Journeys of the Witty Miss Livingstone series and bugged Kennedy for a year regarding the third. Finally it’s out. My review is below, but before going there, I was curious:
My Question for Kennedy: One thing that I noticed (and loved) in the very first book, as well as in subsequent reads, is Miss Livingstone’s distinctive voice. I’d swear a proper and very witty young lady was whispering her thoughts and dialog into your ear. Where did this voice come from and why does it feel so authentic? Are you secretly Miss Livingstone?
Kennedy’s Answer:This question (or questions) made me laugh. I’m delighted Miss…
