Gateway to Reality NEW RELEASE Urban Fantasy

Gateway to Reality: A Mind-Bending Urban Fantasy Tale by Becca J. Campbell


I’m thrilled to announce the publication of Becca J Campbell's  second novel, Gateway to Reality, now available at Amazon US and Amazon UK.
Keep reading for a chance to win one of three prize packs!



Blurb:

Talented artists shouldn’t be waiting tables, scraping by, and living mediocre lives. But that’s exactly what art school graduate Wes Teague is doing.

Then he wakes from a bizarre dream, haunted by the sense that his life isn't real. A harrowing truth presents itself--the real world lies in his dreams, not when he's wide awake.

The dream world he enters each night is rich and vibrant. Chicago appears the same on the surface, but chaos runs rampant as gravity, physics, and other laws of nature become fluid, changing unexpectedly. There, Wes's parents, brother, and sister are strangers. His girlfriend Emily doesn’t recognize him. Suddenly Wes longs to return, to unlearn the truth about his dual reality.

Wes would sacrifice almost anything to get back to blissful ignorance in a false world.

But now he has feelings for the real Emily.





Where to buy


 

The Matrix Meets Inception

This book explores ideas similar to two of my favorite movies, though it wasn’t directly inspired by either. Dreams are key in the story, as is the idea of two worlds—one that’s real and one that isn’t. Gateway to Reality merges the two concepts and fuses them together with good dose of romance in a way that is fresh and vibrant.
Genre-wise, Gateway to Reality is a New Adult novel that walks the line between Urban Fantasy and Science Fiction. It is a topsy-turvy, reality-bending, relationship-driven tale that explores the relationship between truth and fantasy.

About The Author
Becca writes New Adult Science Fiction and Urban Fantasy. She is the author of FOREIGN IDENTITY and GATEWAY TO REALITY (March 2013) as well as the SUB-NORMAL series (short stories).
An avid lover of stories that tiptoe the line between fantasy and reality (even when they plunge off one side or the other), Becca looks for new angles on bridging the gap between the two. She holds a special place in her heart for any story that involves superpowers or time travel. Her passion is defying the limits of her own creativity.

Becca’s journey into writing began as many of her other cr...
eative endeavors do – by daring herself to try something new. The question “what if I wrote a novel?” and some hastily scribbled notes on a church handout were the inspirations that jump-started her first book. Since then, she has written three additional novels and several shorter works.

As the wife of a musician and mother of three young boys, Becca’s life is never dull. Whether it is writing, painting or knitting, she enjoys making stuff that wasn’t there before.

Sharing is Caring Sunday Fury by Elizabeth Miles


This is a weekly meme hosted by Simply Sensational Book Fanatics
http://ssbookfanatics.blogspot.com


In Ascension, mistakes can be deadly.



It’s winter break in Ascension, Maine. The snow is falling and everything looks pristine and peaceful. But not all is as it seems...

Between cozy traditions and parties with her friends, Emily loves the holidays. And this year’s even better—the guy she’s been into for months is finally noticing her. But Em knows if she starts things with him, there’s no turning back. Because his girlfriend is Em’s best friend.

On the other side of town, Chase is having problems of his own. The stress of his home life is starting to take its toll, and his social life is unraveling. But that’s nothing compared to what’s really haunting him. Chase has done something cruel...something the perfect guy he pretends to be would never do. And it’s only a matter of time before he’s exposed.

In Ascension, mistakes can be deadly. And three girls—three beautiful, mysterious girls—are here to choose who will pay. Em and Chase have been chosen.




Fury (The Fury Trilogy, #1)Fury by Elizabeth Miles
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So reading something spooky and scary I dont do, but there was something about Fury that lured me in. Besides the gorgeous cover I loved every minute of Fury each page each phrase, it was all perfect. Beautifully written. Executed wonderfully . Elizabeth is an extraordinary writer. There was not one moment where I thought oh no, why would you put that in there. It all added up. The plot was cunning and well perfect. Yet another Author to add to the Amazing Author list
