Author: Ellwyn

I live with my loving husband, two children and dog in Philadelphia, PA. I discovered my passion for writing in second grade when I had to write a book report for school. I was so excited to write the report, until my mother told me that I had to write about someone else's book and not my own story. I became indignant and decided that once I finished the book report I would most certainly write my own original story. I have been writing ever since! My self-published book Chris Kringle's Cops was a Finalist in The Reader's Favorite Book Contest for 2016. I am so happy to share this story with you. My picture book Kamyla Chung and the Creepy Crawlies was given a 5 Star rating by Reader's Favorite Book Reviews in 2017.

A Code Of Knights And Deception Book Tour & Giveaway

*Warning: strong language, steamy scenes, and graphic violence inside. Mention/Description of, but not limited to, abduction, blood, death, amputation, childbirth, death, sexual assault, suicide, violence against children, rape, and torture.*

GENRE: Historical Time Travel Romance

BLURB:

Outlander meets Black Mirror in this sizzling dark time travel romance.

She thought it was real. She was wrong.

When Sophia wakes up in 15th-century England, she expects hardship—but nothing prepares her for this brutal, unforgiving world. Lost, alone, and desperate to return to her husband and son, she vows to find a way home. But as the days turn into months, Sophia begins to build a new life, finding unexpected kinship and purpose in this strange land.

After a violent attack, she takes fate into her own hands, disguising herself as a man to train under Henry, the castle’s enigmatic master-at-arms. As steel clashes and their connection deepens, forbidden desire ignites.

Yet Henry is not who he claims to be. His real name is Ethan, and this is the least of the lies he tells her. Falling for Sophia was never part of the plan—but the closer they become, the more he realises how wrong it is to keep her in the dark.

As danger closes in and the lines between reality and deception blur, Sophia must uncover the truth about Henry—and herself—before she runs out of time.

The book is the first in a duology and ends with a cliffhanger.

Excerpt:

I had the strangest dream. Nothing unusual for me, but this one lingered in vivid detail, as if I’d truly been there—in a medieval castle, smoke and burning wood perfuming the air, stone walls looming around me. Azure blue eyes. I smiled at the memory, then made the mistake of swallowing and winced at the sharp, scratchy sensation in my throat. I reached for my phone on the nightstand, seeking comfort in the familiar routine of checking the time, but my hand met only empty space.

Confused, I squinted into the darkness. My surroundings looked much as it had last night: thick red bed curtains drawn nearly shut, letting in only a small beam. I shifted under the heavy covers, my feet touching the icy stone floor and sending shivers up my legs as I sat up in my underdress. A faint shaft of light crept in from a small window, softly hinting at dawn. It might have been around six.

Breathing out a small cloud, I rubbed my arms to coax some warmth back into them and took in the room’s strangeness, feeling how truly alien this place was.

“Good mornin’, my lady! How be ye feelin’ today?” she chirped, her voice motherly and comforting in my panic. Her plain brown dress rustled as she moved about the room, efficient and unfazed.

“Toilet?” I croaked, my voice strained and hoarse from my sore throat.

Polly looked at me in confusion, observing me standing there with legs crossed.

“Ah, a privy ye seek.” She nodded thoughtfully, then produced a chamber pot from under the bed, holding it out to me.

I reached for it, mortified. What was I supposed to do now?

Interview With Author Eliza Hampstead

By way of introduction, here is Eliza Hampstead’s bio:

Award-winning author Eliza Hampstead, a scientist by training, lives with her family in the UK. When she’s not writing, she spends her time as a geek.

https://linktr.ee/elizahampstead

Hello, Eliza , welcome to Angel Kiss Publications. Thank you for agreeing to do this interview.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME.

When did the writing bug ensnare you?

It all started 12 years ago when I first drafted the earliest version of A Code of Knights and Deception.

I was going through a major life change, and writing became this unexpected outlet for creativity, passion, and escape.

I didn’t know then that it would spark an entire journey of writing, publishing, and falling in love with storytelling.

Is writing your full-time profession?

Not quite—by day, I’m a scientist. But writing is my passion, the thing I prioritise after work hours (and definitely over TV).

It’s where my creative energy goes, and in many ways, it balances out my more analytical day job.

Which genres do you write?

Fantasy romance and time travel romance—always with a strong dose of forbidden love, swords, and spice. If there’s not at least one sword-wielding heroine or brooding hero with a secret, it’s not my kind of story!

What is your favourite book review from a reader?

There are a few that have stayed with me, but the most rewarding are always when someone says they feel seen through my stories.

One reader once said that my first series became one of her favourites, and honestly, that made my entire week.

What spark started one of your stories?

It always begins with a spicy scene—the one where the characters finally let go and give in to their chemistry. That moment of release and vulnerability is the spark.

From there, I ask: Why couldn’t they be together before this? What was in their way? And then the story unfolds from the emotional and situational obstacles that surround that passion.

What has been your most rewarding experience since publishing your work?

A reader with PTSD once reached out and told me how accurately I portrayed the condition in one of my characters. That meant so much to me.

I’d done a lot of research to get it right, and to hear that someone saw themselves in the story—that they felt understood—that’s everything an author could hope for.

What message are you sharing in your books?

At the heart of it, my stories are about finding your true self.

It’s about overcoming what holds you back, discovering love, claiming your power, and being unapologetically strong—even if the world tells you not to be.

My heroines fight for what they want, and I hope readers feel empowered to do the same.

When you’re not writing, where can we find you?

Either in the garden, digging around in the dirt with my plants, or underwater—diving with turtles. Nature is my reset button.

A movie producer wants to turn your book into a movie, and you get to make a cameo. What would you do?

For my War of the Nephilim series, I’d love to be one of the witches—definitely the fun role.

In A Code of Knights and Deception, I’d want to be in one of the battle scenes. That’s where all the adrenaline and drama unfolds!

Where can we find your books?

You’ll find them on Amazon and available through Kindle Unlimited.

Thank you, Eliza, for spending time with us and sharing your story. We wish you continued success and lots of luck!

God And Petroleum Book Blast & Giveaway

GENRE: Religious NonFiction

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

It’s been many years since God planted in my heart the idea to author this book. To do so I relied on science and engineering, looking deep into the earth a few thousand feet, dreaming of petroleum reservoirs I could not see, and evaluated them using mostly indirect sources of information.

Petroleum hydrocarbons in earth are of organic origin (they form from dead plants and animals) and are intimately related with water.

I also had to look to a different scale deep into the universe when it was created 13.77 billion years ago to try to understand the origin of hydrogen, the birth of the first hydrogen star (the seed star), its explosion in a supernova, and the repetitive births and explosions of subsequent stars that led eventually to the formation of elements such as carbon and iron and to hydrocarbons in the universe. These are hydrocarbons of inorganic origin.

Then I moved into the micrometer scale of human cells and to top research informing us that we are very close to chimpanzees, and a very persuasive discussion about evolution that I agree with.

The book of Genesis tells us that God created man and woman in the sixth day, and that he formed man in the seventh day of the dust of the earth and woman of the rib of man.

At first glance all of this seems contradictory, but it is not. This book shows that available science supports Genesis’ seven days very well. They do not contradict each other.

Excerpt:

Writing petroleum engineering technical papers and books is complicated. I have done it many times, but authoring this book has been my major challenge.

In here I try to link the heavens (universe), earth, humanity, and the word of God as presented particularly during seven days beginning on day 1 with the first verse in the book of Genesis:

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). The work of Monsignor Georges Lemaître (1894–1996), a Belgian Catholic priest, original developer of the theory of the primeval atom, later known universally as the Big Bang theory is inspirational as it shows scientifically that there was a beginning, and it links perfectly with Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning…” This is covered in Chapter 1.

Science tells us that the universe started around 13.77 billion years ago and the earth about 4.6 billion years ago. But in the beginning, it was mostly hydrogen.

When Edwin Hubble (1889–1953) discovered that galaxies were moving away at speeds proportional to their distance (Hubble-Lemaître law), it corroborated the theory previously posited by Lemaître.

In the beginning darkness covered the face of the deep space; it was the dark ages. The first star was made of hydrogen. Eventually, the first star (I think of it as the original seed) exploded.

About The Author:

Roberto Aguilera is professor of petroleum engineering at the University of Calgary (Canada) and president of Servipetrol Ltd. He specializes in the evaluation of naturally fractured, tight and shale petroleum reservoirs worldwide.

He has authored and co-authored six books dealing with petroleum engineering subjects and over 300 technical papers. He has rendered training and/or consulting services in over 40 countries worldwide.

This is his first book linking God, His creation, and the benefits of petroleum to humanity while debunking alarming claims about its use.

In Search Of Recognition Book Blast & Giveaway

GENRE: Self-Help

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

In Search of Recognition: The Story of Search and Rescue in British Columbia provides background on why and how organized volunteer search and rescue became a reality in the province, and how search and rescue evolved over many years to meet the increasing demands of finding lost people and rescuing those injured outdoors.

The primary focus of the thousands of volunteers is to save the lives of persons lost or injured outdoors; training and fundraising for equipment and other costs also require time and energy.

Through personal involvement and references, the author provides insights into how funding and other support for the volunteer service was achieved, through government, responsible agencies, organizations and individuals working together to find ways to assist those who strive “so others may live.”

Excerpt:

As long as people have lived together, there has been some form of search and rescue. Family and community members would go looking for someone overdue from a hunting/gathering trip.

A community member would be lost or injured in the backcountry, and the local sheriff would form a posse to search for and rescue the individual.

Mariners would respond to sinkings and vessels in distress to save lives, long before maritime laws required such.

With the advent of flight, pilots would keep their eyes open for missing persons or aircraft, and respond to pick up and transport injured people as the fastest way to get them to medical attention.

About The Author:

Jim McAllister has been involved in search and rescue for over 45 years, starting as a volunteer member in the Rocky Mountains in 1977 with Golden and District SAR and then Cranbrook SAR.

He became the SAR specialist for the Province of B.C. in 2002. In 2008, Jim retired from the provincial government as a director with Emergency Management British Columbia and became a volunteer director for special projects with the British Columbia Search and Rescue Association.

Jim has been involved with many major projects: the establishment of Avalanche Canada, the updating of volunteer reimbursement rates, the establishment of health and safety guidelines, the formation of a joint health and safety committee, Swiftwater Rescue standards, sustainable funding for search and rescue and the establishment of the British Columbia Search and Rescue Volunteer Memorial.

Jim wrote a book on the last project, titled A Monument to Remember, and one on incidents, titled One Week in August: Stories from Search and Rescue in British Columbia.
