Book Blitz + #Giveaway: Coming Up for Air by Jessica Natalie Reino @JNRlitauthor @XpressoTours

Coming Up for Air
Jessica Natalie Reino
Published by: Fire and Ice YA
Publication date: October 20th 2025
Genres: Fantasy, Paranormal, Young Adult

As if the rumors and whispers from the people of her seaside town, Oceanbrook, weren’t bad enough, 17-year-old Sarah D’Antonio is troubled by the whispers from the forest. It’s not her fault that she hears voices, that she sees auras, and that she has been sleepwalking along the shore. The townspeople, and Sarah’s parents among them, claim that it is all in response to stress, including her chronic migraines and panic attacks. They believe that she can’t come to grips with the fact that her cousin, Lena, is dead. But Sarah knows that the things she is experiencing are real and not something she is bringing on herself. She also knows that Lena is not dead, only missing. She believes that there is something more supernatural going on and that the town is hiding secrets.

Sarah’s feelings are validated when she suddenly becomes thrust into a world in which she has always sensed but never seen. A world of fairy witches, shape-shifters, and legendary creatures. The world of the astral plane. And now, it will be up to her to form alliances to save the magic, fix the astral plane, and most importantly, to bring her cousin home.

EXCERPT:

I had lost so much over the span of the last few years. Second-guessing everything but still trying to find a reason behind why bad things happen. It’s not like I didn’t know that life wasn’t fair, but living with chronic illness and how everyone reacted differently to Lena’s disappearance really drove home the fact that I would never be able to fully trust my relationships, my health, or even my beliefs. I think that’s what scared me the most. Everything that I had believed was shaken, and I had to build a new normal. I had to build myself back up. Only, I didn’t have a solid foundation on which to do it.

Author Bio:

Inspired by her Italian heritage and growing up in New England, she is constantly developing new story ideas that not only raise awareness for those with invisible illnesses, but also promote kindness and the importance of physical and mental health.

Review Tour + #Giveaway: Age of Magic by Tim Vee @_Tim_Vee_ @GoddessFish

AGE OF MAGIC

Tim Vee

GENRE: Dark Fantasy

Blurb:

A young peasant woman's mundane existence is upended by a mysterious traveller, thrusting her into a perilous world of secret family ties, dark magic, deadly beasts, intrigue, pirates, and thrilling adventure—where light and dark forces clash in a battle for power and revenge.

Age of Magic is a dark fantasy story with a timeless fairytale vibe, set in a grounded but magical world.

Excerpt:

What is yer business in Istelton?” said a guard wearing a metal breastplate and half helm. As he said this, other guards started walking around the colourful gypsy wagon, opening the back and inspecting it.

“Bringing me great-great-granddaughter to look after me in me old age,” said Old Nell, exposing her a rotten-toothed mouth as she smiled at the guard.

The guard grimaced at Old Nell’s hideous smile. “Yer live in Istelton?” he asked.

“Born and bred is Old Nell,” she said and chuckled a wheezy laugh.

One of the men on horseback, wearing gleaming armour, had been listening but mostly paying attention to Selene. He spurred his charger forward to the gypsy wagon.

“Your great-great-granddaughter is most fair, old hag,” said the man on horseback as he rode up beside where Selene was seated.

The man was a knight in the Duke of Southreach’s service. He wore brightly polished armour that was embellished with gold gilding. A lilac lambswool cape hung from his shoulders.

His face was clean-shaven except for bushy whiskers below his ruddy nose. He was plain-looking, with cool blue eyes and thinning hair.

Old Nell immediately stopped laughing, the mirth draining from her face. Her head turned to the knight, and her dark, flinty eyes gazed at him.

“Sir Desmond, captain of the eastern road, at your service, my lady,” said the knight, as he bowed his head, but his wolfish gaze never left Selene’s face, which went pink, and she quickly lowered her gaze.

“And fair maiden, pray tell, what be your name?” said Ser Desmond, smiling gently.

Old Nell muttered something under her breath, and Sir Desmond’s horse suddenly reared up, snorting and whinnying, and the knight, taken unawares, was thrown, crashing down on the ground with a thud.

My Review:

After reading the summary for Age of Magic, I didn’t know what to expect, but I can assure you that what I found was not anywhere close to what I expected. What I did find was a world of magic and suspense that kept me hanging on every word from one time to another.

Age of Magic took me on a whirlwind ride with all its magic and numerous twists and turns that are sure to turn any head. I was taken from one life to another in a swirl of magic. I was left with question after question with each transfer of time and place, wondering how each time was connected and by what character, if they were connected at all.

Each time brought its own magic and intriguing story that left me wanting more and hanging on each word. The world-building was magical and engaging in more ways than one. I couldn’t believe what I was reading most of the time. I didn’t know if what I was reading was real or not, or just a dream.

Age of Magic would make a great addition to any library. Grab a copy of this magical story, Age of Magic, today and travel back in time to a world of magic.

Author Bio and Links

Tim works in digital marketing in Toronto and is well-traveled, having visited over 80 countries. When he is not working or writing, he likes to spend time with his family and German Shepherd and go cycling.

Teaser + #Giveaway: Motive by Joe Strazzeri Esq. @RABTBookTours

Meet the Invisible Guest in your wealth-biased relationships

Non-Fiction

Publication Date: October 10, 2025

Publisher: Serapis Bey Publishing

Successful families and business owners tolerate far too much angst and pain surrounding their material assets and cherished relationships. What if hope for a better way was closer than you knew to be possible?

Packed with uncommon insights, boots on the ground exercises, and real client stories, you will emerge from the experience with a profound exhale of relief, and practical steps to make the journey from friction to ease.

 

Excerpt

In the pages that follow, I have endeavored to create more of an experience than a traditional book. Some people will power through attempting a quick read, and others will find the popcorn of a new idea in the pauses we have carefully infused throughout. 

One of my favorite mottos is, “Hope is a great conversation.” Through a combination of compassionate sarcasm, tender truths, and dense prose, my hope is that families read for what they haven’t heard and not what they already know. At times you’ll find yourself rereading a sentence or a paragraph. When you do, please know that I have attempted to embed deeper nuance into those nuggets of compassion and contemplation. 

Each chapter offers deep thinking exercises, audio overviews of our counseling concepts, and real client stories. In our decades of counseling and teaching families and advisors, we know that personal interaction with the material has a dramatic effect on the depth of influence, and the speed and durability of progress. Beyond reading or hearing a presentation, this deeper engagement helps families chip away at change. If you are holding an actual 3D book, versus an e-book, you’ll find blank journal pages at the back on which to capture your thinking from the exercises. If you don’t have a hard copy, you’ll want to allocate a notebook or journal to do the work.

 

About the Author

 

 Joe Strazzeri is an attorney and counselor to successful families and business owners. With a lifelong desire to become a lawyer, he leveraged his second career as a general contractor, hammering nails to pay for law school. He has been self-made since his 20s.

He is a founding partner in four companies that serve multi-generational affluent families and self-made business owners, and he teaches the trusted advisors to both. Their life’s work centers on Three Systems of Family Thriving: family wealth, family relationships and family business relationships, and family advisory relationships. They focus on four key capabilities: tax masterminding, business succession, cleaning up messes in families’ existing planning, and Family Synergy Work.

Over 25 years in business, he and his teams have counseled more than 750 eight- and nine-figure net worth families, and thousands of others. This experiential sample size renders the insights and perspectives shared in this book.

Joe credits his entrepreneurial tenacity to the dichotomy of his parents’ origins. His mother a German, Iowa farmgirl, and his father, a crazy Sicilian entrepreneur, who began life as a teenage immigrant and drove the success of several real estate enterprises.
