About The Book:


Four orphans have escaped from the Home for Friendless Children. One is Lucy, who used to talk and sing. No one knows why she doesn't speak anymore; silence is her protection.

The orphans find work and new friends at a traveling circus. Lucy loves caring for the elephants, but she must be able to speak to them, and to warn others of danger. If Lucy doesn't find her voice, she'll be left behind when the circus goes on the rails. Meanwhile, people are searching for Lucy, and her puzzling past is about to catch up with her.



This Feiwel Friends (Macmillan) tour runs from July 13th-17th & 20th-24th, will have one or two stops a day and consist of reviews, Interviews (Jeff will also do phone interviews or video interviews), excerpts, & spotlights. Physical copies and eBooks available.

About The Book:


In Scorpion, the sequel to Jeff Sweat's YA futuristic thriller Mayfly, Jemma, Lady, and Pico all left the Holy Wood to seek answers to the End, and when they find the Old Guys—the only adults to have survived the original wipeout of everyone over the age of seventeen—they think they've found help at last.

But there's a lot the Old Guys aren't telling them. In fact, some of them don't seem interested in solving the End at all and just want Jemma and her friends to leave. Meanwhile, war is brewing among the tribes of the rest of the Children. Jemma's old home has fallen into disorder, and is far from prepared for battle. It won't be long before the fighting reaches Jemma and the Old Guys, if they even live to see it.

Blog Tour- TO TRUST IN WHAT WE CANNOT SEE by Dennis Mansfield With An Excerpt & #Giveaway! @iUniverse, @MouthDigitalPR @RockstarBkTours 



I am thrilled to be hosting a spot on the TO TRUST IN WHAT WE CANNOT SEE by Dennis Mansfield Blog Tour hosted by Rockstar Book Tours. Check out my post and make sure to enter the giveaway!

About The Book:
Title: TO TRUST IN WHAT WE CANNOT SEE
Author: Dennis Mansfield
Pub. Date: April 21, 2020
Publisher: iuniverse Inc
Pages: 228
Formats:  Hardcover, Paperback, eBook

To Trust in What We Cannot See is the first book in Dennis Mansfield's series of time-traveling, historical thrillers. The story builds a genre-bending, thought provoking plot around a little known historical fact: During the month of January 1913, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, and Josip Tito all lived in Vienna, Austria, near each other, and all regularly frequented the same coffee shop, Cafe Central. At the time, these five young men did not know one another-although some of them may have faced off in games of chess. This historical science fiction epic travels across space-time dimensions in an effort to prevent past horrors-in particular, the rise of the Nazi party and the Holocaust. Yet, a calculated act of murder to change the past winds up having an earth-shattering impact on the future.

“To say that Dennis Mansfield is a gifted author is merely to state the obvious. Dennis has a unique knack…a singular gift…of drawing the reader into the story with immediacy and the compulsion to know more. In his latest work, To Trust In What We Cannot See, suspension of disbelief requires perhaps 10 seconds before the notion of being involved in science fiction completely disappears, to be overwhelmed with a passionate desire to see what happens next…right now. Yet at the same moment, there is also the lurking notion the reader is experiencing something profound.”– Brock and Bodie Thoene, Authors of more than 70 best-selling works of historical fiction, including The Zion Chronicles and The AD Chronicles

“Science and history remarkably meet fiction! Dennis Mansfield’s spacetime thriller may change how you even look at time.”– Les Parrott, Ph.D., #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Love Like That

“Clearly Dennis Mansfield’s love and deep reservoir of historical knowledge comes though in the clever fabric of  To Trust In What We Cannot See. The blending of some of history’s most diabolical mega-monsters and the effort to set things right reveals it’s simply not that simple.”
Cameron V, Filmmaker/Author
