Paradise 21 Blog Tour and Giveaway!!!




Welcome to Day #2 of this awesome blog tour! I'm excited to have the opportunity to be a part of this! Keep reading for a guest post from the author, and for more info on fabulous prizes!!


**************************

What if the world was ending, and you didn’t make it onto a colony ship?
The space pirates in Paradise 21 are the humans who have been left behind. Deemed “unfit” by genetic tests, or too poor to have any connections to make it aboard, they were doomed to scratch out a living in the ruin after wars, radiation, and zombies (which you’ll find out about in the prequel: A Hero Rising) decimated old Earth.
One leader emerged, James Wilfred, and he stole an unfinished colony ship to transport the people left behind on Earth to Alpha Omega, the largest operating space station meant to keep in contact with the colony ships.
Striker, the hero in Paradise 21, is directly related to James Wilfred, and all I can say is that he follows in his father’s footsteps.
Read Paradise 21 to see exactly how…
My question to you is:
What would you do if you didn’t make it onto a colony ship?

**************************



Aries has lived her entire life aboard mankind's last hope, the New Dawn, a spaceship traveling toward a planet where humanity can begin anew-a planet that won't be reached in Aries' lifetime. As one of the last genetically desirable women in the universe, she must marry her designated genetic match and produce the next generation for this centuries-long voyage.

But Aries has other plans.

When her desperate escape from the New Dawn strands her on a desert planet, Aries discovers the rumors about pirates-humans who escaped Earth before its demise-are true. Handsome, genetically imperfect Striker possesses the freedom Aries envies, and the two connect on a level she never thought possible. But pursued by her match from above and hunted by the planet's native inhabitants, Aries quickly learns her freedom will come at a hefty price.

The life of the man she loves.

  3. Wow! what an awesome tour:) I have not heard about this lovely author before and will be going over to her site to check it out. If I did not make it on the colony ship I would just find a place to hole up and hopefully some folks for company. I would search for libraries and if luck make my home base there - whooo boy! I would find weapons and become proficient in their use so I could defend myself and just live the life the cards dealt. Thank you for the lovely giveaway opportunity.

  5. Well if I didn't make it to a colony ship I think with my personality I would get angry and then use my anger to round up who was left and probably end up co-leader (because I would definately need a cool headed partner) and we would thrive. I have no doubt. LOL

    Great post. Thanks! This is going on my list of to read books for sure.

  6. If I did not make it on the colony ship I would try to find other people and safe place to live. Moments like this only with support and help by the other people, we can survive.
    Paradise 21 sound great!

  7. I love Aubrie's books, so thanks for having a giveaway of one of her ebooks! I would love to read Messenger in the Mist:)
    If I couldn't make it on a colony ship I'd just have to get together with the other rejects and survive. There's really no other option!
