New Twitter Bio and Summer Giveaway Hop

My decision is change my twitter bio came after reading Jolene  Perry's blogpost Writing Your Bio.... She discussed her own experience of writing bios not just for her twitter page but also on Goodreads and in her novels. At the time my twitter bio was very generic and pretty much had that I was a writer releasing my first book fall 2013. Nothing eye grabbing at all. Which might surprise some since my short blogger profile here is so attention grabbing and awesome. (:

Any who, I went about trying to create the perfect twitter bio. After several attempts and failures. >:

Success! o:

Presenting my new (and epic) twitter bio.

Available Christian Virgin. Proud Jamaican. Potter/Divergent fan. Book Lover. Movie Goer.   Author of The Sacrifice Series. Sacrifice Her coming Fall 2013.


So what do you guys think? Huh? Huh? Fun, accessible and memorable. That's how I see it and I'm proud to say that I feel great about this new bio.

A Wicked Kind of Dark Cover Reveal Giveaway

Please Note: Apologies due to some kindle issues I wasn't able to finish the book scheduled for review today in time but my review for Tuesday will be posted as scheduled. So instead check out this reveal and giveaway.

Author Jonathan K. Benton



Jonathan Benton always wanted to write books, having won first place in a short story competition when he was ten. Inspired by writes such as Ray Bradbury and Stephen King, Jonathan first discovered the crossover genre of literary/fantasy while reading Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes.

Jonathan grew up in New Zealand, dreaming of travelling to London and finally making the pilgrimage in his mid-twenties. Returning from England, he settled in Australia, the country he now calls home, and decided to take his writing seriously.

A Wicked Kind of Dark

Robert Duncan no longer believes in magic. A mysterious call about a blood moon, however, leads him back to the magical world of his childhood and to Luthien, the beautiful girl with flame-coloured hair, who he loved and lost.



As Robert unravels the secrets of his childhood, darkness enters his life and an ancient evil awakens. To have any chance of defeating the dark forces that would destroy two worlds, Robert must find Luthien before the rise of the blood moon. He must, once more, believe in magic …



A Wicked Kind of Dark mixes vast and spectacular fantasy landscapes with gritty urban reality. A must-read for people of all ages who believe in the power of imagination, and the importance of never losing touch with your inner child.
