Happy Friday!

Looking for some great reads to kick off the weekend?

Today I’m part of the ‘Discover Indie Authors’ blog hop where you’ll have the chance to uncover some great new indie authors, plus win free stuff and gain some exciting sneak peeks and insights into the world of indie authors.

Do you believe in angels and demons? They believe in you

If you’ve arrived on my blog today (22nd March 2013), I’m giving away a copy of my romantic suspense title, Radiant, which was officially released last week. If you’re into heart-stopping, fast-paced romantic suspense of a supernatural variety, all you need to do is visit the giveaway tab on my Facebook fan page here.

The giveaway is open from midnight Friday 22nd March until midnight 24th March, 2013 (Sydney, Australia time).

Sneak peek: Heaven and Hell are closing in

At this point, I need to make a confession.

Obviously, I have a soft spot for my lead female and males characters (I couldn’t have spent 100,000+ words on them if I didn’t!)

But here’s the thing: I like writing evil.

Sure, they’ve got their faults, but they’re not all bad…oh wait, maybe they are.

And in Melanie’s case – one of the evil characters in Radiant – this bitch is pure evil. Without giving too much away, Heaven and Hell are closing in on my lead character, Lily Ainsworth and poor old Lily doesn’t even have a clue.

Still intrigued? You can buy Radiant as an ebook here on Amazon.

Now, it’s not all about me – read on for some more fantastic and very talented indie authors below.

An indie author for every taste

The fabulous aspect of being part of the indie author community is that you meet some amazing people and we don’t see any reason why our readers should miss out on this.

Today, there’s an author for every taste and on the 22nd March, 2013, they’re all giving away free stuff and posting enticing things on their blogs. (Don’t forget though, if you’re Australian, the US are a few hours behind us and the offers in the blogs below should be up and running by Friday afternoon when you’re ready to distract yourself from work and ease into the weekend…)

So scan the list below, enjoy your travels and be sure to share your new-found literary discoveries!
