Blog Tour: The Upstate Boys by Ofer Aronskind with Giveaway

 
 
The Upstate Boys
Release Date: 8/31/15
 
Summary from Goodreads
 
John Shepherd (Shep) is a kid of the streets. An orphan bounced around from one foster family to another until he winds up in a juvenile detention center in upstate New York. While incarcerated, Shep and his fellow inmates are subjected to regular beatings and forced hard labor by the corrupt warden who runs the facility along with his squadron of armed guards.
 
But Shep is no ordinary minor and has no intention of spending the rest of his youth behind bars. Shep and a handful of other inmates hatch a bold plan which culminates in a spectacular turn of events changing the lives of the young prisoners and their captors forever. The Upstate Boys is a tale of adventure, redemption and the unbreakable will of the human spirit. A must read for young and old alike, for anyone who ever dreamed of freedom and especially for those who made it happen.
 
 
Quotes from The Upstate Boys
 
"We were gettin out or we were gonna die tryin"
 
"We dug and clawed for the freedom that awaited us on the other side of that barbed wire fence"
 
"Shep was running for his life, for the life of every one of those boys"
 
"There was no turning back now...nowhere to go but forward"
 
"They were the poor, the orphaned, the dispossessed. They were the boys that had been sent upstate and came back as heroes"
 
Author’s Writing Inspiration
 
My inspiration for The Upstate Boys came when I read an Article in the NY Times about the Arthur G. Dozier school for boys.  The stories of the abuse, neglect and murder struck a cord and I wanted to change the story.

Cover Reveal for The Infected (PODs #2) by Michelle K. Pickett

 
The Infected (PODs #2)
Release Date: October 12th 2015
 
Summary from Goodreads
 
From the author of the award winning Unspeakable, and the best selling PODs, comes the highly anticipated sequel to PODs. A world where death stalks the unsuspecting, and this time even the PODs might not save them.
 
A virus nearly wiped out humankind...
 
Months have passed since a human infection has been reported. Survivors of the deadly pandemic have finally started to build a life in a world left devastated by plague.
 
Ironically, for nineteen-year-old Eva, life made more sense when she battled the deadly Infected than it does in the serenity of her new home in Rosewood. Separated from fiancé and former POD-mate, David, after an impossible ultimatum, Eva finds her life a little lonely and a lot confusing.
 
But as troubled as Eva’s life is, it's about to take a turn for the worse as untold dangers watch and wait for the right moment to attack…
 
The virus refuses to die quietly.
 
 
 
About the Author
 
I can’t write without a hoodie. Yeah, I live it Texas. We all have our quirks.
 
I majored in accounting in college. I was required to declare a major, but I had no clue what I wanted to do, so I picked accounting because it was the first thing listed in the booklet the counselor gave me. Surprisingly, I graduated with a 4.0 GPA. Go figure.
 
Forget coffee. Hand over the Red Bull or Monster Khaos and no one gets hurt. Seriously, just set it down and step away. I will turn into a normal human after I guzzle my can of caffeine.
 
I hate to cook, but love to watch cooking shows on television.
 
I paint my nails weird colors just to see my husband roll his eyes and make my 9 year-old twin girls giggle. Oh, and mortify my 13 year-old son.
 
I’m a hopeful romantic and love swoon-worthy endings that keep the butterflies going for days, but I don’t believe a HEA always ends with the boy getting the girl. Sometimes a HEA is an ending we don’t see coming, but is still best for the characters.
 
I write across genres in the young adult and new adult age groups while eating way too many peanut butter M&Ms (but we’ll keep that second part just between us).
 
I was born and raised in Flint, Michigan, but now live in a suburb of Houston, TX with my very supportive family, a 125lb rescue “puppy” and a 12lb attack cat, also a rescue animal.
 
And last, (but certainly not least), I love my family with everything in me. Everything I am, is theirs. There are no words in any language known to man to describe my love for them. They are my center.
 
I’d love to hear from you. So drop me an email! Let’s chat. You tell me what you like in books, what you’d like to see happen in the writing community, what type of books you like to see more of…less of—I want to hear it all! So tell me, please. Because the one thing I wish I could put on my list, but I still haven’t figured out how to do, is mind-reading. But don’t tell my kids. I still have them fooled. J:)
