Creatura Book Giveaway

Hiya! I've been getting a lot of requests for signed copies of Creatura, and I wish I could send one to every last one of you. But it's impossible for me to mail so many copies worldwide with the cost for shipping being so high. I can't bring myself to choose only a few people to give copies to because all of you have offered me so much support.  In my mind, it just wouldn't be fair to choose one out of so many. Hence, I've decided to hold another giveaway and leave it to Lady Luck to choose. I hope you have fun with the 25 point entry option. I can't wait to see your fan art, videos and crafts. In the infamous words of Effie Trinket (The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins) "May the odds be ever in your favor!"

Good luck, lovelies! ~Nely

Two Creatura Lethal Blog Tours?!

www.tsktskwhattoread2.blogspot.com

Today marks the anniversary of Creatura's one year in print. Also, as you might have or might have not heard, LedaBooks, the leading YA publisher in Romania, has recently acquired the foreign rights for publication. It's been a good year for Creatura, and to celebrate its one year anniversary and the foreign rights contract, there is not one but two blog tours that will be kicking off this weekend. How cool is that?!


An international blog tour, "The Lethal Book Tour", hosted by Kathryn V. Grimes and Shelley Bunnell of Tsk Tsk What to Read blog, will begin today, June 15, and run through July 9, 2012. This tour will make about 27 stops at different blogs. You'll find the  international Rafflecopter giveaway, along with a picture of the prizes as you read further.

The "Romanian Lethal Book Tour" is more of a scavenger hunt. The blog tour will take place, Saturday, June 16, 2012, making stops at about 16 Romanian blog sites. The tour will be hosted by Irinna, Oana and Alecsa of the very first  fan blog dedicated to Creatura -- Creatura Lovers. The girls are very excited that Creatura is coming to Romania, and I share in the excitement with them.


I'd like to thank the hosts and bloggers that are participating in both blog tours and who whipped them up at the spur of the moment. I also thank you for stopping by my blog. You can check out the events on the following sites:

My TV Debut on Televisa Mexico

Two weeks ago, I was contacted by Televisa Noreste (Mexico) and extended an invitation to film a short segment about me and Creatura. The segment has been running for six days between regular programming, like a regular television commercial, including during their prime time shows.

Because I live in the border region of South Texas, I'm fortunate to have this video reach viewers in border cities in both Mexico and Texas. I'm very excited to have had the opportunity to be featured on "Quien La Esta Haciendo" (Who's Making It) with host Luis Peña. A big thank you to Televisa Noreste and to Luis for making this possible.

By the way, the interview was conducted in Spanish.

"Creatura", My Poem Set to Music

 Anisah on Facebook 

I've had the pleasure of meeting wonderful people since I published my book, Creatura -- painters, readers, bloggers, authors, singers, crafters and simply wonderful personalities all around. One of my first readers happens to be a young lady with a beautiful voice who teamed up with a gifted and skillful guitarist, becoming the duo named Anisah. Sylvia Alexia Hernandez (age 18, UTB college student) and Alvin Niño (age 18,  high school student), both from Brownsville, Texas have given me a gift that I will cherish forever. These talented young people have taken a poem that I've written for book #2 in the Creatura Series and set it to music. How they came up with this beautiful archaic sounding melody, I don't know. But I thank Sylvia and Alvin from the bottom of my heart and share with you their artistic talent and rendition of my poem in this simple video. Enjoy!

REVIEW: Shadow on the Wall by Pavarti K. Tyler

RATING: ★★★★
Coming May 1, 2012! 

REVIEW: 
Recai Osman is a handsome and wealthy businessman in the city of Elih, Turkey, living every man's dream. But his life turns into a hellish nightmare the day Recai opens his eyes to find himself buried in sand, beaten and hanging on to the last string of his life. Someone has left Recai to be swallowed whole by the desert and never to be heard of again.


Recai is saved by Hasad, who hides the stranger in his home, though fearing that the monopolized community police, known as the RTK, is linked to the man. After a brutal attack to Hasad's daughter, Rebekah, Recai swears upon her memory to seek vengeance on the RTK and their leader.


After three years of wandering through the desert in search of answers, Recai returns to the city of Elih, where he was thought dead.  When Recai attempts to reincorporate himself into society, he finds himself defending a victim from the sickening attack by an RTK soldier. It is then that Recai becomes known as "The Sandstorm". 


Author Pavarti K. Tyler has risen a "Muslim Superhero" from the sands of the desert. Tyler touches controversial topics which only a woman would dare to brave. The author's style of writing holds a poetic flare in her sentences, which add to the appeal of the story. 


Do be wary readers, as this book is not for the faint at heart and includes scenes of cruel violence against women. For those bold readers, you might want to fasten your reading glasses because you're in a for a thrilling ride.

David's Mail Call Poetry

A few days ago, a fan expressed her "love" of  Creatura on my Facebook page. I decided to give her a little gift from my book's hero, David Chios. Quickly it was that the responses to his humble offering grew, and before I knew it, "David" was serenading fan girls with verse. 

"Carly Anne's Chablis" 

Written for Carly Anne Wallace 

Weaved of fine silks and fine wine 

                                                 The Gods adorned Carly Anne so divine

 And I a poor beggar on mine raw knee 

Pleading, suffering, eager to be free 

But what dost freedom imply to a beggar?

Leaving mine Carly Anne to be? 

Never shalst I wander free of mine decree 

And I do attest, dear Carly Anne, this sacrifice to thee 

May mine blood become dry like the Gods' wine of Chablis 

Should ever you never come to be privately for me

 ~ David Chios 

Thank you for reading, and I invite you to get to know David Chios and the rest of the personalities in the first  book of the Creatura Series.

Review: A Matter of Perception by Tahlia Newland

Tahlia Newland

Rating: ★★★★

Bouncing through the perceptions of different characters in diverse situations is certainly a way to break free of the usual monotony of story telling. Such holds truth in Tahlia Newland's anthology, entitled "A Matter of Perception." 

It is through several short stories that Ms. Newland introduces us to characters that see their lives through only one perspective without stopping to see that the world is not only black and white, but various shades of grey, along with a prismatic and colorful variation of outlooks. 

Newland delivers tales that will make the reader ponder on what level they regard their own problems and view of life. 

After reading Author Tahlia Newland's anthology, you'll be convinced to see your own life through rose-colored glasses.

Ever wonder how a story is developed in a writer's mind?

Do you ever wonder how a character or story is developed in the mind of a writer? Everyone has a different story. Mine is, without a doubt, different. Tina from the Not Me Did It... Blog asked me to be a guest on her blog, requesting specifically that story. You can read it here:
