Book Giveaway: Jilo (Witching Savannah) by J.D. Horn

Today we have a special book giveaway for our readers.  We are giving away JILO a Witching Savannah novel by J.D. Horn!

Jilo Witching Savannah by J.D. Horn

Jilo (Witching Savannah #4) by J.D. Horn

Aged Mother Jilo is wise in the ways of magic…but once upon a time, she was just a girl.

1950s Georgia: King Cotton has fallen. Savannah is known as the “beautiful woman with a dirty face,” its stately elegance faded by neglect, its soul withering from racial injustice and political corruption.

Young Jilo—fiercely independent, intelligent, and ambitious, but thwarted by Savannah’s maddeningly genteel version of bigotry—finds herself forced to embrace a dark power that has pursued her family for generations, an ancient magic that may prove her salvation…or her undoing.

Explore the fascinating history of one of the Witching Savannah series’ most vivid and beloved characters, as the resourceful and determined Jilo comes of age, strives to master formidable magical skills in the face of overwhelming adversity, and forges her strange destiny against the turbulent backdrop of the civil rights struggle in the American South.

Release Date: April 26, 2016
Genre: Paranormal, Mystery, Urban Fantasy

Cover Reveal: #AmWriting A Collection of Letters to Benefit The Wayne Foundation

I am excited to reveal the cover for #AMWRITING: A Collection of Letters to Benefit the Wayne Foundation, a book that I am contributing a piece to. 

#AmWriting A Collection of Letters to Benefit The Wayne Foundation

#AmWriting by more than 70 authors, including Jeaniene Frost, T.J. Michaels, Kendall Grey, E.J. Stevens, and many more!

Knowing what you know now of writing, publishing, and putting your art out into the world, if you could go back to the day you sat down to start typing in your very first manuscript, what words would you offer to yourself? Words of encouragement? Words of advice? Caution against certain pitfalls? Would you change anything about how you got to where you are today?

The publishing community is so much bigger than it was before the self-publishing boom and it continues to grow exponentially every day. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with a handbook or support group. The book is to provide words of encouragement or advice to those just starting out or those who have become discouraged in their art. At Pure Textuality PR, we believe in supporting each other as a community, and we felt this project would be a good way to bring writers together and maybe give some new artists just the right nudge to keep going.

100% of the net proceeds of #amwriting will go to benefit The Wayne Foundation, a charity dedicated to offering aid and services to young women victimized by illegal sexual exploitation and the sexual trafficking of minors.

Release Date: June 7, 2016
