SYNOPSIS:

Following the light can’t be that hard, right? So why don’t the dead just do it and leave Stephanie Stewart alone?

However nothing is ever as simple as it should be, as Stephanie learns when her hidden ‘gift’ becomes more than a nuisance, quickly turning unto a liability.

If she can’t learn to trust someone with her secret, the world as she knows it will go to hell. Literally. But if she doesn’t choose wisely, she might just end up learning firsthand how hard it is to follow that light.

Because she’s next on the list to be crossed out.

THE MESSENGER’S HANDBOOK by PAMELA DUMOND (Young Adult time-travel romance)

FRIDAY’S REVOLVING BOOK is “THE MESSENGER’S HANDBOOK” by PAMELA DuMOND!

GENRE: Young Adult romantic time-travel thriller

PUBLISHER: Pamela DuMond
AMAZON KINDLE SPECIAL PRICE $.99 CENTS! http://alturl.com/v9ffo
WHERE TO BUY: Amazon Kindle. Lending Enabled. Paper book will be available June 2012. http://alturl.com/v9ffo

SYNOPSIS:
What if you discovered that your soul mate lived three centuries before you were even born? It’s been years since Madeline and her mama were victims of a car crash. Madeline survived but suffers wicked anxiety. Her mama simply disappeared. At age sixteen she inherits her mama’s handmade book filled with dangerous family secrets, but barely skimmed it before she’s pushed onto train tracks.

Madeline wakes in 1675, the sole survivor of a Native massacre on a colonial settlement. She has inadvertently time traveled to the War between the Wampanoag Natives and the colonists they recently welcomed to America’s shores. Rescued and taken back to a colonial garrison, Madeline learns she is a Messenger, a traveler who can slip through time’s fabric at will, bringing messages that could change one life or many. But she doesn’t know the first thing about traveling let alone surviving this harsh new world. Rumors of witchcraft and spying could get her killed. And falling into a forbidden love with Samuel, a mixed blood boy, puts them both at risk.

The only way Madeline can get home and save both their lives is to train with Samuel and the Medicine Woman, confront her deepest fears and fulfill her destiny as a Messenger. But the Hunters, dark-souled predators as well as skilled time travelers, are closing in—and they will kill her if she doesn’t join them. Madeline learns that falling in love, and falling through time doesn’t have to be accidental, could be deadly, but is worth the fight of her life.

SNEAK PEEK:

I stopped for a few seconds to catch my breath. The droning had grown louder. Good. I was closer to that place where desire, action, a little bit of luck and magic would join forces. I’d find that moment to slip through time’s fabric, travel hundreds of years back to present day and warn or even save people. Especially my Samuel.

Then I heard his voice, muffled, but close by. And his words chilled my soul. “Stop running, Messenger,” he said. “You cannot save him or yourself. You cannot save anybody.”

AUTHOR BIO:

In grade school Pamela DuMond was an A student but stuttered and was badly bullied. Reading became her refuge. She devoured every thriller and mystery she could get her hands on and eventually wrote her own.

Thriller novels like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Divergent by Veronica Roth, and epic romantic movies like Last of the Mohicans and Titanic inspired her to write The Messenger’s Handbook, the first book in a planned trilogy.

Pamela’s other books are bestselling comedic mysteries. Krill Press published Cupcakes, Lies, and Dead Guys in 2010. Cupcakes, Sales, and Cocktails – A Novella was published in 2011. Cupcakes, Pies, and Hot Guys will be released summer 2012.

But what price will Chloe pay for this Dreamwalk and will she save Shane only to lose him forever?

REVIEWS:

“This is one of my favorite books that I have read this year. I found myself so attached to Chloe that I am having a hard time letting go of her still. . . This book kept me up at night and I never wanted to stop reading it as I wanted to know what was going to happen next. The ending blew me away and was unexpected.” Night Owl Reviews Top Pick http://romance.nightowlreviews.com/nor/Reviews/Black-Rose-reviews-Dreamwalk-by-Sarah-Macmanus.aspx

“Hauntingly dark and mysterious, Dreamwalk is a compelling read. Set against the nebulous backdrop of the dream world, author Sarah MacManus’ winding tale is rife with one surprising twist after another… Poetically crafted with a subtle, yet powerful lyrical flair, Dreamwalk is an engrossing read. Recommended for fans of unconventional teen romance tales.” Morgan Drake, Apex Reviews

“I really enjoyed this book. It’s beautiful and meaningful and surreal and different. I loved the use of Austrailian mythology (something you almost never see), and the personal growth the heroine and her love experience. This is YA and young love done right, and I can’t wait to see what Sarah MacManus does next.” You’re Killing Me Reviews http://ykmreviews.blogspot.com/2011/03/033-dreamwalk-by-sarah-macmanus.html

“Dreamwalk is a wonderful novel that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster, each chapter filled with fear, love, temptation, addiction, and peace. Sarah MacManus’ writing is powerful in Dreamwalk, giving me the sense as though I were living through Chloe, feeling all her pain, sorrow, and fears.” Moonlight Gleam Reviews http://www.moonlightgleam.com/2011/08/dreamwalk-by-sarah-macmanus.html

“Dreamwalk is a sensational adult debut by Sarah MacManus. This book had me on tenterhooks all the way through and I absolutely loved it.” http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/159139057

“Your emotions are sent through a whirlwind throughout the novel. I laughed, I cried and I even got scared. It was complex and surreal. It was lovely, yet so bittersweet. Honestly, I can’t sing the praises enough – it was a brilliant read, highly recommended from me.” Missy Reads & Reviews http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/173722988
