Blog Tour: Life in the Atmosphere by Anthony Wilson + Giveaway


Life in the Atmosphere
by Anthony Wilson
Genre: YA, Coming of Age

Jahlil Adams is just a regular teenager. In fact, you could say that he is “super regular” with his glasses, comic books, and cheap fashion sense. He doesn’t want popularity. He doesn’t want a pretty girlfriend. He wants to just be who he is. Well that and not to be bullied by Max Maniac. 


Yet, everything changes once Mr. Malachi gave Jahlil a necklace that he didn’t even want. 
After that, everything was not the same. In fact, Jahlil began to realize that there was much more to who he was. There was much more to who Mr. Malachi was. There was much more to his existence. The lid of limitations was lifted from Jahlil’s life. 
Now, all that mattered was the limitations that the sky had to offer.





Anthony Wilson is a new author that hails from the Midwest. Being that this is his first book, he took the extra care of creating a 1st person perspective from the realities of teenage living in the year 2000. Being that Anthony Wilson is an educator, he wanted to create stories that students in middle (and even high) school could relate to. Also, he wanted to create stories that his teenage daughter would be proud of. When he isn't being a husband, teaching, or writing, Anthony Wilson also maintains his health through physical activity.

Blurb:
Nerd. Weird. Ugly. That's me. And I don't want it to be anymore.

Now is my time to make my mark on the world. My college roommate doesn't make it easy. Neither does her brother, Jesse, but for completely different reasons. He makes me feel things I've never felt before.

Wanted. Important. Beautiful.

But we can't be together because it isn't real. Someone like him could never fall for someone like me. We aren't meant to fit together.

Even if I fall apart without him.

Promo: Dirty Hacker by Tia Lewis & Roxy Sinclaire + Giveaway

Dirty Hacker
by Tia Lewis & Roxy Sinclaire
Published by: Salted Pen Publications
Publication Date: 7th December 2016
Genres: Military, Coming of Age


    I dug too deep. Now, I'm buried in the truth.

    Recent high school graduate and computer genius, Sophie Hanson wants nothing more than to be part of an online hacker group. Spending her life behind a computer screen or with her nose in a book hasn't been all that thrilling. Sophie's ready for some excitement.

    But how far will she go to get what she wants?

    When the irresistible and mysterious billionaire, Preston Phillips finally relents and welcomes the young virgin into his prestigious hacker group, things take a dangerous turn. Selling her soul—and giving her body—to the devil wasn't in her plans. Suddenly, Sophie is a pawn in Preston's perilous and erotic games—with no escape in sight.

    Blurb:
    Danny 'Madman' Maddox isn’t supposed to make Skylar Haze's heart beat out of rhythm.

    At least not anymore.

    She hasn't seen that boyish face, always covered in a five o'clock shadow, dimpled smile and teasing hazel eyes since the day he left to go on tour with her brother Joey's band. Now with a major record label backing them the band is in need of a bit of help, and when Joey asks Skylar to be the band's photographer, she can't help but say yes.

    Of course, Joey doesn’t know about that forbidden kiss.

    The one Skylar hopes Danny’s forgotten.

    But can she?

    One smile and she finds herself slipping again.

    But he’s the drummer, and he’s beaten her heart before.

    And she won’t let it happen again.

    Out of Beat full cover


    Excerpt:
    “Lark!” Zack says as he comes in the back door of my bedroom. He sweeps me into his arms and spins me around the room before putting me on the ground. “You’re all grown-up!”
    I cross my arms and narrow my eyes at him. “And I still hate it when you call me Lark.”
    He pouts, and I can’t stay mad at him. He’s foolishly good looking in his band t-shirt, zip-up hoodie, and beanie. It covers his dapper haircut that has a streak of chemical white-blond he dyes a different color to suit his mood. I pull the beanie off his head, and he winks. Pink.
    “Something you’ve been meaning to tell me, Killer?” I ask.
    His pout drifts into a smile, complete with lady-killer dimples. “I’m completely secure in my manhood. You can ask my girlfriend.”
    “Settling down are we?” I tease just as Aaron bursts through the door and throws me over his shoulder. Where Joey and Zack are tall and skinny, Aaron and Danny are muscular. Danny’s got the arms while Aaron has the abs.
    “You get her bags,” Aaron orders. “We’ve got a radio interview to get to.”
    “Do either of you know how to use a front door? Or knock?” I ask as I hang suspended over Aaron’s shoulder with my hand cupping my face.
    Danny comes through the door next and his head jerks back as he takes in the scene. “Looks like you don’t need my help.”
    I nod to my rack of longboards. “You’re the only one I trust with my boards. The pintail and the dinghy.”
    “Speak English,” Zack says, but Danny seems to understand and grabs the two boards.
    “Look!” Danny says, holding the dinghy up next to Zack’s head. “The trucks match your hair!”
    “I was wondering where you fools went to!” Joey says as he walks in the door. “Mom and Dad want to say bye to all of us, but I’m pretty sure Dad will prefer if you’re not hauling Sky around ass over teakettle.”
    “Oh, come on! This is totally normal,” Aaron says, and Joey blinks at him. “Fine.”
    “Don’t worry,” I say, squeezing Aaron’s arm as he sets me down. “You and Danny can take turns trying to bench press me after.”
    “Sick!” Aaron whoops. “You’re the perfect size for that!”
    Danny narrows his eyes at me as the guys file up the stairs. I hold my hand out, and he gives me the dinghy. “Bench press you?”
    I lean my shoulder into him before we head up the stairs. “Just because you like the idea.”
    He laughs, shaking his head as he holds the door open for me. “I’m afraid Aaron will like it too much.”
    “Jealous?” I ask.
    His neck turns red beneath his scruff. “Protective.”
