I had so much fun with this last year (and grew my TBR–plus a few others’), that I’m bringing it back. In the spirit of “a rising tide lifts all boats,” for Self-Published Authors Appreciation Week I wanted to give some Self-Published authors a chance to spread some love.
(They also get to do a bit of self-promotion, I mean, c’mon, it’s hard out here…)

An Elevator Pitch for Something You Love
Sordaneon by L.L. Stephens
One of my favorite on-going fantasy series is The Triempery Revelations by L.L. Stephens. Book 5 (The Walled City) just released in April, and I can’t wait for book 6 to drop next year. The worldbuiliding is phenomenal, and it has one of the best and most complex political storylines I’ve read in a long time. The Triempery Revelations is an incredible series, and I really wish more people were aware of it. So please go check it out! The series begins with Sordaneon.
My Elevator Pitch by A.J. Calvin
Kye Verex is trapped.
Due to a fluke of genetics, the decisions of the galaxy’s elite, and a lack of finances, he’s stuck on his polluted and noxious home world indefinitely. And it’s slowly killing him.
Then his more fortunate sister returns one day, bringing the promise of salvation. Kelsey has always hoped to find the means to pull him out of his desperate cycle of survival, but it has taken years. Now, she has a plan, one that will cure his genetic condition and clear him for interstellar travel.
The catch?
He has to sign over his very existence – and a portion of his humanity – to Zylar Inc., the galaxy’s most prominent and notorious corporation, in exchange for the necessary treatment. Is his cure worth the cost?
