Book Details: Book Title: Muddy Spokes by Katie Kuperman Category: Children's Fiction (Ages 4-10), 31 pages Genre: Children's Picture Book. Children's - emotions, life lessons, self-esteem Publisher: Katie Kuperman Publication Date: June 11, 2024. Tour dates: Aug 13 to Sep 6 Content Rating: G
***AN EXCELLENT TEACHING BOOK IN A FUN FORMAT***
***GREAT FOR KIDS, PARENTS, SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS*** ***PART OF ALL PROCEEDS DONATED TO CHILDREN'S CHARITIES***
Book Description:
This is a fun and comical story about resilience and resourcefulness. Spokes is a bicycle wheel who wakes up happy and excited for the day ahead. Everything doesn't quite go as smoothly as expected, however, and after a few tricky twists and turns, Spokes is covered in mud! This isn't exactly an ideal situation for a wheel who's trying to roll efficiently through the town to make it to school on time. Now Spokes is muddy, discouraged, running late and moving very sl-o-o-o-o-wly. How will this cute and lovable wheel get out of this mess? It’s going to take strength, determination and a wee bit of courage. Written for children aged 4-10, this is a story of resilience and resourcefulness because I truly believe these are two of the greatest teachings we can impart on our younger generation. After all, life is full of mud. And we all get a little muddy sometimes, don’t we? The mud isn’t the problem. It’s what we do next that counts.

Book Description:
How can a single glacier grow dramatically while hundreds are shrinking around the world? This paradox confronts a young glaciologist Kate Landry as she looks down at her research site buried under shocking mounds of new snow. Little does she know that Mount Olympus is in the bulls-eye for a sophisticated geoengineering experiment being conducted by a scientist who has convinced a secretive international oil cartel to fund his dubious climate modification techniques. While Kate struggles to understand why the glacier is growing and begins to unravel the entire nefarious scheme, she also struggles to avoid the unraveling of her developing relationship with social psychologist Grant Poole. The more Kate uncovers on the glacier, the more her own life is at risk. Can she expose the unethical and dangerous geoengineering operation without being caught before she’s stopped? And at what risk to her life?

On a sluggish Chinese river in 1890, American heiress Alice Sheffield falls for Andrew Croft, the Boston soldier of fortune hired to bring her home. Alice looks past Andrew’s limitations and finds an agile mind willing to take a leap of faith. Out of the turmoil of this relationship are born two sons who grow up knowing nothing of their parents’ former lives. Autie, a Princeton dropout, goes to war seeking adventure and fame; Rory, a morally adrift playboy, runs aground in the Mediterranean. Caught up in their lives are Laura Eklund, the adopted sister in love with both since childhood; Lois, a bohemian Greenwich Village savant; Margaux du Pret, Belgian war bride on the brink of suicide; Procter Darlington, a young stockbroker living fast in Gay Nineties New York; and Gregory Haines, a disfigured war veteran running liquor in the early days of Prohibition. Spanning the end of the Gilded Age to the aftermath of the Great War, Tidewater does not pass the torch from one generation to the next, but tells concurrently the stories of these individuals in a quickening pace where plans go awry and events turn on loves lost and found.

Until one of their own turned against them. Armed with a golden staff to amplify his power, the rogue wizard Malzus fled the wizards’ city of Dolcere and began a ruthless hunt for the tree. Meanwhile, in the small, protected village of Tuland, Asmar, a misfit, is suddenly called to Dolcere. There, he learns that he is to become a wizard, tasked with stopping the death and destruction caused by Malzus. The Great Council tasks Asmar with not only defeating Malzus but returning the golden staff to them. But Asmar doesn’t trust the wizards and their influence over him. Can he break the cycle of violence and selfishness and determine his own destiny?

  Join Us for This Tour: Aug 5 to Aug 23, 2024 Book Details: Book Title: A Carrows Murder (The Carrows Family Chronicles, Book 10) by Annabelle Lewis Category: Adult Fiction 18+, 286 pages Genre: Mystery/Crime/Romance/Humor Publisher: PePe Press Release Date: June 2024 Format available for review: print-softback (USA only), ebook (EPUB) Tour dates: Aug 5 to Aug 23 Content Rating: PG13 +M: My book has cursing. The f-bomb. Sexual flirting but closed-door action. A Note from Annabelle Lewis: Welcome to the latest installment of The Carrows Family Chronicles. Don't let the words Book 10 scare you! Dive into the adventure without the need for exhaustive backstory, as each page unfolds with its own excitement, color, and twists. While my characters’ pasts enrich their present journeys, rest assured that you can fully immerse yourself in this standalone tale. Prepare to be swept away by the twists, turns, fashion, humor and discoveries awaiting you within these pages. Book Description: A Crafty Plan. A Healing Sojourn. A Deadly Twister. Royal Dutton, close friend and stylist for Charles and Angelica Carrows, has a broken heart and he’s falling to bits. Disturbed by Royal’s escalating depression and dangerous choices, the London-based Carrows family decide to distract Royal with a vacation to an English castle on the dazzling eastern shores of Yorkshire, Britain. Well-intentioned, they plan a murder mystery using the villagers near the castle as characters who will each play a role in convincing the unsuspecting Royal that there is a murder to be solved for a real-life person. It should have been fun. But there are unforeseen consequences. The small town of Boswell Crag and its eccentric villagers will never be the same. And someone . . . will not survive.  Meet the Author: Annabelle Lewis—a pseudonym—is a Minneapolis-based, multi-genre writer, dog lover, incredible mom, and champion of the screwed over. In addition to her touching, yet oddly scathing blog posted on her website, she’s published two exciting fictional series. The Carrows Family Chronicles are humorous and vengeful caper novels. If you’re interested in a light romp about a family of well-dressed billionaires serving yummy revenge to a string of unsuspecting bad guys who have it coming, look no further. The second series—The Boston Clairvoyants—is also a set of good versus evil stories. These psychic mystery/thrillers have been edited so they could be read as stand-alones, but as Glinda the Good Witch says – “It’s always best to start at the beginning.” The books have a supernatural hierarchy, a wee bit of romance and mythology, and a solid sense of humor. Lovers of dogs and Dean Koontz fans will adore these books. Annabelle typically sends out two newsletters a month—so she promises not to annoy her subscribers too much. They typically contain feverish reviews on the latest stuff she is watching or reading, links to book giveaways, contests to win a signed paperback, and book browsing for other author’s work. Oh, and a warning. Annabelle loves to curse. And there is cursing in her books and her blogs . . . because she’s gotta keep it real.

Not only does Lauren do a fantastic job of organizing the tour and communicating with you at every step of the way, but I found the tour hosts that signed up for her tour to be of a higher caliber. The reviews that I got on this tour were thoughtful and well-written and I noticed an uptick in sales during this tour. I also appreciated the fact that many of her tour hosts that wrote reviews posted them on multiple sites, not just on their blog or Instagram account. This is invaluable to an author. I highly recommend Lauren and iReads Book Tours. - Allyson Rice, author of The Key to Circus-Mom Highway
Lauren Carr's iReads Book Tour is amazing! She gets real results. Not only did I get thousands of new eyes on my series, but I grew my following on all social media channels as well.
