This year our theme is The World for a Shilling, based on the cost of the entrance fee back in 1851 for the Great Exhibition held in Hyde Park, England.
The Great Exhibition was organized by Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert and attended by notable writers of the day including Charlotte Bronte (Wuthering Heights), Charles Dickens (A Tale of Two Cities, A Christmas Carol, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, Oliver Twist), Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland), George Eliot (Silas Marner, Middlemarch), Alfred Lord Tennyson (Ulysses, Lady of Shalott).
It was meant to be a platform where the countries of the world could display their achievements.
A special building called the Crystal Palace was built to house them.
Six million people or roughly one third of the population of Great Britain visited the exhibition.
In keeping with the theme of the Great Exhibition of 1851, I’d like to announce a CONTEST and then introduce some fabulous authors and their work.
First, the CONTEST:
Read the blurb of Wild Point Island and leave a one sentence comment with your email. During each of the four days of the Blogger Book Fair, one reader will win a free Kindle e book of my newest paranormal romance. At the end of Day Four, I will pick again from all the readers who have participated. The prize: $25.00 Amazon gift certificate.
And, now the first author:
Shannon McRoberts
The Daughter of Ares: The Complete Trilogy
Blurb:
Take what you know about mythology and throw it out the window....
Athine has long been told she was the chosen one. Only problem is she doesn't want to be chosen for anything; she wants her own adventures. She gets her chance when she learns that her new powers allow her to kill other immortals.
Follow Athine from the beginning as she learns about her heritage and being an immortal born. See how she interacts with some notable immortals such as Zeus, Hera, Odin, and Morrigan. Learn about the origins of the vampire and what happened to the dragons!
What reviewers are saying:
"McRoberts does an admirable job of building upon the classical legends we're already familiar with, adding additional branches of goddesses and demigoddesses to Zeus' rather convoluted family tree. Rather than try to replant the stories we already know, she uses them to establish roots for her tale, telling new stories that have either grown from or developed alongside those classic branches."
"This author has offered her readers a unique perspective of going through the story in each character's POV and I believe it worked very well. Books two and three go on to tell the adventures of Athine and her role as protector of N'Loron with plenty of action."

Jami Gray:
Great Book Find: Shadow’s Edge, the debut Urban
Fantasy novel by Jami Gray
Hey beautiful people! I found another great book for you to
check out. Fans of edgy heroines, pulse pounding action and twisty plots should
really enjoy this one. It looks like Shadow’s Edge should interest anyone who
also likes Magic Bites from Ilona
Andrews’s Kate Daniels world and Moon
Called from Patricia Briggs’s Mercy Thompson series.
Amazon Rating:
“Loved this book. I was looking for
something dark and broody to read, but without a heroine who was weak and
needed a man to protect her/help her breathe. Shadow's Edge perfectly fit the
bill!”—MeNMine
“I crave books with strong, confident females
who aren't afraid to kick a little butt. This book was everything I love about
fantasy with the added bonus of having a woman main character who knows how to
put a man in her place.”—Crystal
Shadow’s Edge: Book 1 of the Kyn
Kronicles
Everyone
fears what hunts in the shadows—especially the monsters…
It takes a monster to hunt one, and for Raine McCord, forged in the
maelstrom of magic and science, she’s the one for the job. In a world where the
supernatural live in a shadowy existence with the mundane, a series of
disappearances and deaths threatens the secrecy of her kind and indicates
someone knows the monsters are alive and kicking. Partnering up with the
sexy and tantalizing Gavin Durand proves to be a challenge as dangerous as the
prey she hunts.
When
the trail points back to the foundation which warped Raine’s magic as a child,
her torturous past raises its ugly head. Gavin and Raine sift through a
maze of lies, murder and betrayal to discover not only each other, but the
emerging threat to them and the entire magical community.
