Great Reviews, Updates and Fantastic Giveaway!

Chasing Shadows has received some great reviews on Amazon and beyond. I appreciate every single one and thank all reviewers and all my new readers. You are the best!

I've received numerous emails from readers who loved Chasing Shadows and are asking when the second book in the Psychic Justice Series will be out. I'm hard at work on various projects, but have completed the first draft of Lily and Jake's story in Stealing Twilight (you'll see a little of Juliana and Alex in the novel also). I'm hoping to publish it in Jan/Feb 2016. I'm also contemplating an earlier tie-in short story from Juliana's point of view to introduce Jake in Stealing Twilight (it all depends on my bandwidth, which has become very tight with all my various writing projects).

Read what Fresh Fiction and The Romance Reviews had to say about my romantic suspense novel:

"A whirlwind of emotions, twists, turns and rediscovered love will keep you breathless! Equally suspenseful and sweet, CHASING SHADOWS is a book that is well worth your time. You will be caught up in the story instantly and will not want to stop reading until the exciting and jaw dropping conclusion. I promise!” ~Fresh Fiction. Read full review.

"Make sure you have a couple hours of free time to yourself before reading CHASING SHAODWS, because you won't be able to put the book down. This is the first book I've read from Erin Richards, but it definitely won't be the last. I can guarantee I will be giving this another read real soon, that's how much I loved CHASING SHADOWS! 5 stars all the way!" ~The Romance Review--Top Pick. Read full review.

Chasing Shadows is still $.99, but the sale ends soon. Get your copy before you have to pay full price!

All Loved Up + Awesome Giveaway

We all love a good book. Read on to see which ones the Uncommon YA authors love!
(Rafflecopter giveaway below)

One of my favorite books is Perfect Chemistry by Simon Elkeles. I love the way she hits real topics head on with characters that are strong and tenacious. As a bonus: this author can write a seriously hot hook up scene *fans face* ;)　Julie Anne Lindsey 

I love The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons and have my fingers crossed the movie producers accept the script she is working on to turn it into a movie. I also love Where is the green sheep by Mem Fox because my kids and I have read it a billion times together and we know it off by heart.
Melissa Wray 

One of my favorite stories is Pale Horse, Pale Rider by Katherine Anne Porter. First published in 1939, the short novel portrays a　young couple falling in love during the end of World War I and the onset of the Spanish Influenza. The main character falls ill with the deadly flu, and her new boyfriend,　a recently enlisted soldier, finds her medical help　right before he must leave for training. It's a beautifully written snapshot of life during those uncertain times. Yvonne Ventresca
 

My favorite, most life-impacting book with respect to becoming an author is Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes, by Chris Crutcher. I was in the early days of recovery from childhood sexual abuse, and I was looking for something to read while working out on the treadmill. I went into my daughter's room and found Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes on her bookshelf. I had no idea what it was about or who Chris Crutcher was-- but as I walked on the treadmill, it was as if walls inside of me fell away and I realized that I had stories inside of me that might touch others as this book was impacting me. I was thrilled last year to get to meet Chris and talk with him. Beth Fehlbaum 

I book I really love right now is Jeff Vandermeer's Wonderbook. It's given me some really great insights on revision--and it's pretty to look at too :) Natalie Zaman  

Here's a book I love: Bridge to Terebithia by Katherine Paterson for it's themes of friendship and dreaming big. It's a lovely, simple　little book that says powerful things. Lisa Cresswell 

Divergent by Veronica Roth: Beautiful writing made for a fast-paced read in a fascinating dystopian setting with a strong female lead. It’s one of those rare books for me where I loved the story as much as the writing and it stayed with me long after I read the last word. Erin Richards

 Praise for WICKED PARADISE: 

"Full of adventure, romance and two wonderfully heroic characters. The descriptions of the island are beautiful and the passion between Morgan and Ryan leaves you turning the pages to see if they can finally come together. The interaction with the Demon at times leaves you breathless. A great book." ~ 5-Stars, Paranormal Romance Guild 

"Ms. Richards has woven a lush tale of desire, betrayal, and mystery in Wicked Paradise. The story is a novel mix of fantasy and dystopian, with enough to satisfy readers who love either genre. Wicked Paradise was a wonderful story and I'm looking forward to reading more from Ms. Richards in the future." ~Writing on the Wall blog
