Sex Hell, A Love Story by Joe Canzano Guest Post! @happyjoecanzano @SagesBlogTours





Tell me a little about yourself.

I’m a writer and musician from New Jersey. Is that too little? I like food, guitar-oriented rock and roll, and staying home.

When did you know you wanted to be a writer?


I’ve been making up characters since I was a little kid. English was the main class in school that kept me awake. At some point I just put the two together.

What has been your favorite book to write?


Whatever I’m currently writing is usually my favorite book - but Sex Hell was definitely the easiest one. It was probably the most fun, too.

Which character has been your favorite?

This is a tough one. It depends on my mood. I thought Legalman in Magno Girl was the funniest character I ever created. I think Debbie and Cynthia in Sex Hell are pretty cool when they’re together.

What advice would you give new/up and coming writers?

Take some time to learn about writing. Read a lot of books – watching a movie is not the same thing. Don’t quit.

Which writers inspire you?

There are too many to name. I like humorous writers like Douglas Adams, Christopher Moore, and Tom Robbins – but I like so many others. I really do read a lot of different styles and I’ve found inspiration in all of them.

What genre are your books?

Comic Fantasy.

Anything else you would like to say about writing? Encouraging words for potential writers?

There are no rules. If you read it and it works, it’s good - but then again, if you learn the “rules” you’ll probably discover a lot of things work much better.

Sex Hell
By Joe Canzano
Genre: Comic Fantasy

Book  Description

When Debbie de La Fontaine tries to spice up her love life by supernaturally tampering with her sex life, she is cursed to spend every future encounter in a magical place called “Sex Hell,” where the sex is ludicrous and amazing but the romance is scarce.

Her only chance for escape is through the stingy clues supplied by an obnoxious demon, and the only way to obtain the clues is by returning to Sex Hell again and again to have outrageous sexcapades with the man she most wants to avoid—or does she?

Sex Hell is an absurd comic fantasy about the confusion of relationships. How is love related to sex, and how is sex related to love—and do love and sex need to be related at all?

*This book contains profanity and adult situations*

Author Bio

Joe Canzano is a writer and musician who lives in New Jersey, U.S.A. He likes loud guitars and food that screams. His wacky debut novel, “Magno Girl,” received a fair amount of love and hate—because that’s the kind of reaction his writing gets. For more information about Joe, please visit www.happyjoe.net.

Zenobia by Russ Wallace Book Blitz! @Zenobiaseries




Russ Wallace is life-long student of history, religion, politics, and social issues. As an instructor, he came to value the critical thinking so necessary to navigate the minefields of propaganda while searching for truths. As a world traveler, Russ learned the opposing views and prejudices underlying many of the problems in human society, ancient and modern.

He employs a vivid imagination to fill in the life of Zenobia, a real historical figure and one of the most fascinating women who ever lived. He is working on future books in the Zenobia book series.

Connect with the Author here: 

In the 3rd century a girl of uncommon abilities was born in the desert wilderness of Syria. Rescued from death by her courageous mother, Zenobia masqueraded as a boy to stay alive. She grew up to become one of the toughest, deadliest women who ever lived. 

Brilliant and beautiful, Zenobia carried the greatest female military mind in history. She eventually came to control the second most powerful army in the world. When her love of justice brought her into conflict with the strongest empire on earth, she set her sights on the greatest conquest of all - Rome. 

This book traces Zenobia's life from age nine to fifteen, setting the stage for her amazing rise to power. It includes the beginnings of her legend and her budding romances. 

No one who reads her captivating story will ever forget Zenobia.



Snippet
Zenobia - Birth of a Legend, Chapter One:
At a surprisingly early age, Zenobia had grasped and embraced the role laid out for her preservation. This lit a fire that would burn deep inside her for the rest of her life, a desire to prove that a girl could be just as valuable as a boy, and a woman just as valiant and skilled as a man.

Zenobia - Birth of a Legend, Chapter 25:
Suddenly it came – a roar reverberating the ground. Jumping up she yelled, “Bethy, come!” She did not want her mare to bolt in panic through the fence and straight into the fangs and claws of a lion. Bethy trotted over nervously and Zenobia said, “Good girl. Bethy, hold!” Several of the horses began to whinny and run around the corral, but Bethy held her place by her mistress. Zenobia moved into the corral while straining to see into the darkness. Then she saw them – spread out before her three sets of large yellow eyes glowing in the darkness. It was the most threatening sight she had ever seen

Náápiikoan Winter by Alethea Williams Book Blast and Giveaway! @ActuallyAlethea #NaapiikoanWinterBookBlast

Publication Date: May 9, 2016
Publisher: C.A. Williams
eBook & Paperback;
295 Pages
Genre: Historical Fiction

Add to GR Button    

At the turn of a new century, changes unimagined are about to unfold.

THE WOMAN: Kidnapped by the Apaches, a Mexican woman learns the healing arts. Stolen by the Utes, she is sold and traded until she ends up with the Piikáni. All she has left are her skills—and her honor. What price will she pay to ensure a lasting place among the People? THE MAN: Raised in a London charitable school, a young man at the end of the third of a seven year term of indenture to the Hudson’s Bay Company is sent to the Rocky Mountains to live among the Piikáni for the winter to learn their language and to foster trade. He dreams of his advancement in the company, but he doesn’t reckon the price for becoming entangled in the passions of the Piikáni. THE LAND: After centuries of conflict, Náápiikoan traders approach the Piikáni, powerful members of the Blackfoot Confederation. The Piikáni already have horses and weapons, but they are promised they will become rich if they agree to trap beaver for Náápiikoan. Will the People trade their beliefs for the White Man’s bargains? Partially based on the works of Canadian trader, explorer, and mapmaker David Thompson, Náápiikoan Winter spans a continent, examining the cultures in flux at the passing of an era and the painful birth of another.

"When we read NAAPIIKOAN WINTER our hearts were swept back in time. Alethea Williams writes with the same authority and beauty that A. B Guthrie, Bernard de Voto, Wallace Stegner, and Conrad Richter imparted to the page. We marveled at the quality of her research, and the precision with which Williams recreated the world of the Blackfeet at the time of white contact. Find the first page, dear reader, and you'll fall effortlessly into a long-gone world filled with both the noblest of humans, and the dross that always follows. This is no Western romance, but the nitty-gritty reality of the Northern Plains. We call NAAPIIKOAN WINTER masterful!" -W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear, authors of PEOPLE OF THE MORNING STAR
