Welcome to the Goddess Fish Promotions Tenth Anniversary Month Long Celebration!

We didn't want your visit here to be dry and boring, so we decided to have a poetry competition and put what we do into verse. Here are the initial entries:



Marianne:




Roses are Red.

Violets are Blue.

I'm awful at poetry.

Coffee.



Judy:



Twitter and Facebook got you down?

Come see us, we're the best around.

We'll get your book out so people can see

What a wonderful author you happen to be.







Yeah, for some reason, Judy won!



Even better, her poem is correct. We DO offer twitter and Facebook promotions as one of our services!



Check out our testimonials here.



We hope you enjoyed getting to know us a little (more information is below) and we'd like to do the same. We'd LOVE to see a little poem that tells us a bit about you in the comments. We'll be awarding random book giveaways and $5 Amazon GCs to some of the best poetry we find. It might not be at every stop, but when something really makes us smile, we'll reward it! Come on, be daring...



And now, more about us:



About Goddess Fish Promotions

Goddess Fish Promotions was established October 14, 2008. Why? Well, when Marianne became a published author and got her the first taste of trying to promote a book on a budget, there was only one other virtual book tour company in place at the time, and their fees were simply too high for a small press author. After coordinating and running her own tour, she knew other authors could use the same service for a reasonable price. Thus, Goddess Fish Promotions was born.



Because both Judy and Marianne were authors and editors prior to running Goddess Fish Promotions, they approach the business with a unique point of view, and treat their clients how they would expect to be treated.


The people behind the fish



Judy Thomas -- The Goddess



Judy has a college degree in English and she’s worked in retail, education, at her local library as well as an editor for a small press and for the now defunct ShadowKeep Ezine. She’s also a published author so can see things from both sides of the fence. In 2013, she “retired” and now spends her days helping authors make their dream come true—as well as working as much as she can with her local theater group.



Marianne Arkins - Fish



Grammar freak and coffee lover, Marianne wrote her first novel at ten years old, built her first commercial website in 2000, and published for the first time in 2006. She worked as a professional editor for just over a year, and knows what it’s like to write, edit and promote a book on a budget.

FBI Rapid Response, #1

Genre: Inspirational /Mystery / Suspense / Romance
Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers
Date of Publication: October 9, 2018
Number of Pages: 416

Scroll down for the giveaway!

Reeling from a negotiation gone wrong, FBI Special Agent April Ramos is caught off guard when a frazzled young woman shoves a crying baby into her arms, then disappears. Worry for the child’s safety quickly turns to fear when a man claiming to be the girl’s father abducts them at gunpoint. April puts her hostage negotiation skills to use to learn more about who she’s dealing with: Jason Snyder, a fugitive accused of murder. 

As Jason spins a tall tale about being framed for the killing of his business partner, April must sort through his claims to find the truth. A truth that becomes all the more evident after April overhears a conversation between Jason and the local sheriff and realizes something more sinister may be happening in their small town of Sweet Briar, Texas. But aligning herself with a known fugitive to uncover the burden of proof could cost April her job . . . or worse, her life and the lives of other innocent people.

Silver Dagger Book Tours and Giveaways - The Sand Prince by Kim Alexander



The
Sand Prince
The
Demon Door Book 1
by
Kim Alexander


Genre:
Epic Fantasy

Two
worlds. Bound by magic. Divided by a door.



On
the barren, war-ravaged demon world of Eriis, the fierce queen Hellne
fights to keep her people alive and her son Rhuun's heritage a
secret.

On
the green and gentle human world of Mistra, demons have faded into
myth. Only a handful of old men and fanatical children still guard
The Door between the worlds.

Different
and shunned by his demon kin, Rhuun finds refuge in a book that tells
of a human world of water and wonder. Forced by his mother's enemies
to flee Eriis, he finds himself trapped on the other side of The Door
in the very place he has read and dreamed about—Mistra. 

Chained
to the deadly whims of a child who guards The Door, Rhuun must
balance serving and surviving, even at the risk of exposing his true
identity. Riskiest of all is his task of kidnapping an infuriating
young woman who is about to find out that the demons of Eriis are
much, much more than just an old bedtime story.




**Only
.99 cents!!**





The
Heron Prince
The
Demon Door Book 2

The
Demon Door can be opened...but the price is deadly.



Prince
Rhuun has found acceptance among the humans on Mistra, something he
could never have in the demon realm of Eriis, not even as heir to its
throne. What's more, he has even found love with the prickly,
passionate heiress, Lelet va'Everly.

The
idyll can't last. The prince has enemies who are after more than his
throne. They are out for his blood…which holds the key to unsealing
The Door between the two worlds, and the demons want in. When Rhuun
is lured into a trap on Eriis, Lelet has no choice but to turn to a
motley group of exiles, children, and madmen to help save him.

Lelet
soon discovers that, like all things, rescuing the prince comes with
a price. The secrets in Rhuun's blood may be worth killing for, but
are they worth dying for?








The
Glass Girl
The
Demon Door Book 3

Love
opens all doors…but betrayal locks them forever.



Newly
blessed (or cursed) with wings and fire, Prince Rhuun of the demon
realm of Eriis sees hope for his life on the human world of Mistra
with his fierce human lover, Lelet va'Everley. She literally went to
hell and back to save him, and she's not about to let anything—or
anyone—ruin their perfect future.

All
too soon, the claims of family, duty, and justice force Rhuun and
Lelet to confront new griefs and old mistakes as they attempt to
restore balance to the throne of Eriis. But, with every jealous rumor
and each vengeful whisper, friends turn, family schemes, and
forgotten enemies creep from the shadows.

Treachery
in Eriis and betrayal in Mistra jeopardize what Rhuun and Lelet have
fought so hard to build, threatening to tear apart the two lovers,
their families, and even their worlds.







Kim
Alexander grew up in the wilds of Long Island, NY and slowly drifted
south until she reached Key West. After spending ten rum-soaked years
as a DJ in the Keys, she moved to Washington DC, where she lives with
two cats, an angry fish, and her extremely patient husband who tells
her she needs to write at least ten more books if she intends to
retire in Thailand, so thank you for your patronage.

The Unicorn Rescue Society

The Creature of the Pines

By Adam Gidwitz


Unicorns are real. (At least we think they are.)

Are you ready to protect the creatures of myth and legend? Then you belong in The Unicorn Rescue Society. HURRY–THE CREATURES NEED YOU!

Elliot Eisner isn't exactly thrilled with the first day at his new school. His class is going on a field trip to a creepy forest called the Pine Barrens. The trip is being led by Professor Fauna, the weirdest teacher
Elliot has ever met. And the only kid who will talk to Elliot, Uchenna Devereaux, isn’t afraid of danger. She likes danger.

Elliot and Uchenna are about to become part of a secret group of adventurers, The Unicorn Rescue Society, whose goal is to protect and defend the world’s mythical creatures. Together with Professor Fauna, Elliot and Uchenna must help rescue a Jersey Devil from a duo of conniving, greedy billionaires, the Schmoke Brothers.

Join Elliot and Uchenna on their very first quest as members of the Unicorn Rescue Society in this brand-new fantasy-adventure series from Adam Gidwitz, the beloved bestselling and Newbery Honor-winning author of The Inquisitors Tale and A Tale Dark & Grimm. Illustrated throughout, this is the perfect fit for newly independent readers looking for a story full of adventure, fun, and friendship.

Book Reviews for the Blue Unicorn's Journey To Osm by Carlynne T







Carlynne Toomey rated it it was amazing 

The illustrations in this book are beautiful! The story is great and there is action and adventure. This is an adult or older teen level book as there is violence and death in the story. The battles are graphic and unicorns die. I say this only to warn readers that may think that unicorn stories are always happy, fun rainbow reads. This is not the case with this book, but it is so much better because of the realism. Battles aren’t pretty, evil magicians do bad things. Can the non-magical blue unicorn save the tribe, or will he too perish at the hands of Magh, the evil magician. I’ll let you read this great story, enjoying the beautiful artwork and find out for yourselves.
