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
The Silent Places by Skyla Dawn Cameron
In Skyla Dawn Cameron’s Yukon domestic thriller, The Silent Places, Imogen Sharp has a young child and a missing husband whom locals suspect she killed. As the story develops, more than one man has disappeared. When laws look the other way, how far should a mother go to protect her child?
I loved the conversation The Silent Places brings to the table about domestic violence and the law. This is the type of story that you dwell on, not because of shock value, but because of cold truth.

My Elevator Pitch by Shannon Knight
I’m totally cheating and writing about Domestication instead of my latest book because Domestication pairs so sweetly with the book I want to recommend. Do you like domestic thrillers? Read them both!
When Janie chose the isolated sheep farm, she knew her husband would hunt her down. What she didn’t expect was Rob and Howard. Rob rules the farm with the same domination tactics she uses to train dogs, while Howard believes only human supremacists think humans should be treated any differently than other animals. Janie inadvertently jumps out of the frying pan and into the fire. She wishes to leave her old self behind. She wants to transform. Will she devolve into meat, metamorphose into a monster, or transcend beyond her domesticated limitations?
