Kiya Release Blog Hop

Hey guys!

Check out the book Trailer before you go anywhere! It's so epic.

To celebrate the release of my book I'm holding a blog hop! So jump in and win some great prizes. Details can be found on my blog.

So something about Egypt. Everything is backward! I mean this in the nicest way. When talking about travel on the Nile, traveling down means Northward, so traveling up means South! Then, Upper Egypt is cities like Luxor/Thebes in the southern region, while Alexandria and Memphis on the Delta are considered Lower Egypt. Confused me in High School!

So There you go! Keep looking and learning from the other blogs.

Historical Figures Blog Hop

So, because I'm probably a little too busy I forgot to post this earlier! So We'll just start now. Sorry everyone!

To celebrate the upcoming release of my novel Kiya: Hope of the Pharaoh I am holding this blog hop here with the Typelings gang! So here's what you need to do:

Post about a historical figure you would like to meet and why.

There are so many interesting people throughout history, Kiya being just one of them. Kiya really was one of the wives of Akhenaten, the only wife, other than Neferiti and his three oldest daughters with Nefertiti, ever mentioned.

So, the Typelings gang will buzz around to the blogs and vote on their favorite, then, the one with the most votes I will give a free e-book copy once the book is released (30th April.) Just post the link in the comments below. Entries will close on the 30th.

Thanks for your patience!

Cover Reveal Kiya: Hope of the Pharaoh by Ozz!

Today I am so excited to share my cover with you! This is my debut so I'm getting a multitude of feels about this. Anyway, I just love this cover, and hope you like it too. So, here it is!

To save her younger sisters from being taken to the cruel life of the palace, Naomi intervenes and gives herself to be a wife of the erratic Pharaoh Akhenaten.  

In the palace, Naomi finds herself thrust into the intrigues of the royal family, and has her name changed to Kiya. She becomes beloved by the Pharaoh, who declares that she will bear him his heir. But the Great Queen Nefertiti, furious with jealousy, schemes to destroy Naomi and even brings her fidelity into question, which could cost Naomi her very life. 

Naomi must play the deadly game carefully. She is in a silent battle of wills, and a struggle for who will one day inherit the crown. And if she does bear an heir, she will have to fight to protect him as well as herself from Nefertiti who is out for blood.

Behind the door Flash Fiction Contest

When I was in England I obsessed over doors. They were so cool lookin'. Small doors, gigantic doors, blue doors, red doors, doors that led to nowhere, doors that led to hallways, cloisters, and courtyards...
Doors.

So here's what I want you to do:

Create a short story or story excerpt from this picture. Where is this? Where does it lead? What's on the other side? What's on this side?

It can be any genre except dystopian. I'm so over dystopian.

Okay, I'm just kidding, it can be whatever you want it to be. In all seriousness though, I don't like reading stories with a whole lot of muck in it. i.e. totally unnecessary swear words or graphic sexuality. Call me old fashioned if you want but I'm in charge. So there.

Max is 500 words.
Submit your entry to chapterhouselane@mail.com by Friday, January 11th at midnight MST. Make sure to give me your name and email address so we can contact you if you win.
Winners will be announced on Monday, January 14th.

Prize for the winner? Your story will be featured on the Typelings blog, along with our praise and adoration for your talent. You'll also get a first-chapter critique for your current WiP. Maybe even the first five chapters if I REALLY like your entry.
...and I'll tell you where this photo was taken. What more could any of you possibly wish for?

There may be more than one winner if my fellow Typelings are so inclined to pick their favorite and offer a critique as well.

Best of luck.

Cheers,
Hero
