Book Blitz: Faceless by B.J. Quander #romance #contemporary #rabtbooktours




Contemporary Romance



There are three things that I know about myself:

 

1. I am a woman of no importance at all.

2. I am a woman who, one day, fell in love with the least likely person.

3. I am a woman who faced the worst aspects of herself—and vows to never go back.

 

Briseis Cunningham—plain and ordinary!

 

After the 2024 Presidential Election, Briseis, a patriotic tour guide, felt like she wanted to take a tour of her own city of Philadelphia, looking for resolution in the past. While sitting on the tour bus, she has flashbacks of the last three summers, and what was occurring in her country at the time. Weighted down by the worries of the choice her nation just made, she undergoes a great deal of soul searching.

 

Beginning with one summer, in 2022, she accepts a job, working at the Philadelphia Chinese Lantern Festival. While there, she meets all the talented performers, but one stands out the most: Jin Chang, a Face Changer.

 

From there, it all begins!

 

Follow the tale of an American woman who stumbles on love for a man from another side of the world… and while also having to come to terms with what has just happened in the United States, her fear of the loss of the American Experiment, and her worries of where her country is headed.



About the Author

 

 Hello, readers! My name is B. J. Quander, and I am an American Revolution history enthusiast, who has always been compelled to learn about the origins of the United States of America, as well as the countries that created it, that have inspired it, and the native nations that this land belongs to.

I also have a great respect for the constitution, the law, and strictly upholding it. After all, many of my fellow Americans, along with other nations who have helped us, have died for the American Experiment to live. Being a native Philadelphian, I have felt the tie that connects us back to the foundations of a war that was fought on principles of a free government and defiance against unchecked authoritarianism. Did we fail? Plenty of times. But the dream still was there, and it felt real. Or it did once. This book I wrote is about a heroine who worries about the sun setting on our nation, as opposed to the sun rising on it, while also being willing to fall in love. Thank you for stopping by.

Book Blitz: Your Joyful Years by Professor Joyce Harper #giveaway #selfhelp #nonfiction #womenshealth #rabtbooktours





Empowering good health and happiness beyond 50


Self help, Women Health

Date Published: 20 March 2026




“An uplifting and empowering guide to later life that blends lived experience with science and practical wisdom, encouraging us not merely to age, but to thrive. I read this book as a middle-aged man and loved it … it is beautifully reassuring, humane, and optimistic.”

— Professor Chris van Tulleken, Clinician, Academic, TV Presenter, UK

 

Aged 50+ is a pivotal stage in many women’s lives. We are entering post-menopause—free from reproductive hormones, periods, and contraception. Children may be leaving home, careers may be shifting or winding down, and there is the dawning realisation that we may have 20 or 30 healthy years ahead of us. This is not an ending, but a powerful new beginning. This stage of life offers an opportunity to reconnect with yourselves, to rediscover what truly matters, and to prioritise self-love and self-care without guilt. This book brings you the wisdom of 50 inspiring women who share their lived experiences with honesty and generosity. Their stories offer guidance, reassurance, and permission to live authentically on your own terms. Together, they show how this stage of life can be rich with meaning, purpose, freedom, and joy. These are Your Joyful Years.

Professor Joyce Harper is a down-to-earth expert in reproductive and women’s health, with almost 40 years’ experience listening to women and translating science into practical, evidence-based guidance. She has published widely about women’s health and is passionate about helping women thrive. Joyce combines research, real-world experience, and a deep belief in living life to the full, and she practices what she preaches. This book is the second in her trilogy: Your Fertile Years; Your Joyful Years; and Your Final Years.

Publisher: She Writes Press




A mouth-watering home run of a beach read, this lighthearted romantic comedy featuring a newly widowed fortysomething takes the reader on a joyful romp through-out some of Chicago’s finest eateries—with a dash of Cubs baseball on the side.

In the heart of Chicago, forty-five-year-old Angie Sortino finds herself at a crossroads. Recently widowed, she discovers that her deceased husband, Vinnie, has left her penniless, and she is forced to take a job at Chicago City Hall as a cleaning woman until Vinnie’s City pension can be cleared up. Then her spirited twenty-two-year-old niece, Gina Paloni, and her best friend Kim Yang, approach her with a dream of starting a catering company targeting funeral parlors—and Angie sees a chance to reawaken her own culinary aspirations.

As the three women embark on this new venture, they face the challenges of the catering business, from securing clients to perfecting their menu. Angie and Gina’s love for the Chicago Cubs adds a playful twist to their journey, as they often find inspiration in the vibrant atmosphere of Wrigley Field. Gina’s youthful enthusiasm contrasts with Angie’s cautious nature, leading to hilarious mishaps, unexpected romantic encounters, and heartfelt moments.

Through late-night brainstorming sessions and spontaneous cooking experiments, Angie begins to find her voice, both in the kitchen and in her life. With the support of a respected funeral director, Gina and Kim, and an unexpected new love interest, Angie learns to embrace her worth and pursue happiness.

Teaser: STRINGS by Jan Merritt #teaser #excerpt #giveaway #romance #womensfiction #rabtbooktours




Contemporary Romance, Romantic Drama, Women’s Fiction

Date Published: 11-21-2025



With a national lockdown looming, a Southern journalist flees north, determined to jumpstart her career in the safety of a Minnesota wilderness, feisty and wary of entanglements, she piques the interest of a bored Native American rock star.

A pandemic is spreading across the globe. A national lockdown looms in the United States. A Southern journalist sees a chance to protect her health and jumpstart her career by escaping north to a Minnesota wilderness. Feisty and wary of entanglement, she piques the interest of a bored Native American rock star on his way home.

Robby Song’s career may be on hold, but Grace Wheeler is on a mission to build hers. To Robby, she’s an intriguing challenge. To Grace, he’s a distraction she’s not ready to handle. But the brutal Northwoods winter is coming. Grace flees back south . . . to soul-searching isolation and a puzzling middle-of-the-night call.


Excerpt

“Interesting.” He looked out at the lake. “This is so different.”

“Different from what?”

“What I’m used to . . . when I come home. I’m not used to having conversations anymore with people I don’t know or who don’t know who I am. I’ve been away for sixteen years . . . living a totally different life. Normally, when I’m here, I have a sort of agenda. I know who I’m going to see — family and old friends. This time, I have no schedule, no pending dates, nothing to make me leave. I hadn’t realized I’ve been so isolated from dealing with people . . . with strangers . . . like you.” He leaned forward to get up and looked over at Grace. “And the women I’m around don’t treat me like you do. They’re much more agreeable.” He stood up. “I need food. You want to come or not?”

Grace looked up at him, pulling her hair back away from her face with her right hand. “I can imagine how the women you meet act, now that I know who you are. You’ve been living in a bubble, but who you are doesn’t mean a thing to me. And if you think I’m disagreeable, you’re in for a bad time if this pandemic lasts. In the real world, women have lives, and they’re not all focused on stroking . . . male . . . egos.” She stood up. “Not every woman is interested in being your groupie. The world has changed while you’ve been in your bubble.”

“Well, if you’re any indication, I should invest in a suit of armor.”

“Probably not a bad idea.”

 


About the Author


Jan Merritt is passionate about teaching both in the classroom and on horses, but brain cancer changed her life. Surgeries and treatments have left her with a new brain, one that does not have skills to teach middle school English or balance to ride horses . . . but loves to create stories.

Jan lives on the coast of South Carolina with strong ties to northern Minnesota. Growing up was filled with rich but conflicting narratives. Her dad told stories about his pioneering Minnesota family, egalitarian values, and the importance of self-reliance. They made annual trips to family cabins on a lake north of Duluth. But in her friends’ homes back in Charleston, she was immersed in plantation lore, tales of the Confederacy, and exclusive traditions of a social set that she was not born into. She is married to a musician who is also a mental health therapist. They have three children.

Book Blitz: Elara's Silence by Gregory Lamont Brown #darkfantasy #fantasyromance #vampire #rabtbooktours




Dark Fantasy, Vampire Fantasy

Date Published: February 14, 2026



When a woman condemned to silence awakens centuries too early, the world that buried her begins to bleed.

Elara’s Silence is a dark gothic fantasy steeped in prophecy, memory, and dangerous desire. In a realm ruled by vampire courts, wolf-blooded alphas, and shadowed orders who rewrite history in blood, Elara Winterbourne was meant to remain sealed—forgotten, contained, erased from the future she threatened to change.

But something has shifted.

As ancient glyphs stir and old loyalties fracture, Elara’s return ignites a chain of events that reaches from ruined villages to decadent courts and forbidden crypts. Wolves sense a mate marked by fate. Vampires fear a power that can unmake their lineage. Secret societies whisper that the Gospel itself—a living force of prophecy and memory—has chosen her as its vessel.

Hunted, desired, and divided between what she was and what she is becoming, Elara must navigate a world where love can be a weapon, prophecy is a battlefield, and every choice writes a future in blood.


Perfect for readers who love:

* Dark gothic fantasy

* Morally complex characters

* Lush, atmospheric worldbuilding

* Vampire and werewolf politics

* Stories where prophecy and passion collide

 

Elara’s Silence is the first entry in a sweeping dark fantasy saga about power, legacy, and the cost of awakening what the world tried to bury.

The Gospel no longer whispers. It remembers. And it is writing her name.

 

About the Author


Gregory Lamont Brown is the founder of D & G Publishing and the author of The Hollow Gospel Chronicle, a dark epic fantasy series blending gothic horror, supernatural prophecy, vampire politics, and werewolf mythology.

Born and raised in Chicago, Brown writes immersive, character-driven fantasy that explores legacy, power, memory, and defiance. His debut novel, Elara’s Silence, launches a sweeping saga set in a brutal world of vampire courts, wolf bloodlines, shadow societies, and a living scripture known as the Hollow Gospel—a force that records history in blood and memory, and can be rewritten by those strong enough to challenge fate.

Brown’s work combines epic fantasy worldbuilding, morally complex characters, intense emotional stakes, and dark supernatural lore. Readers of gothic fantasy, vampire fiction, dark romance tension, and multi-book fantasy series will find a living mythos designed to expand across generations and realms.

Elara’s Silence is the first book in an unfolding fantasy saga where prophecy waits—and the world trembles when it rises.
