Guest Post | Author Erin Rhew

Thank you to Hebe and her readers for allowing me to come onto the blog today and engage in some "cheeky" self-promotion! WOOT! Oh, and stay tuned for a Rafflecopter giveaway-- a $50 Amazon gift card is up for grabs. Wut wut? Yep! 

So, why am I here? Well, my publisher decided to spotlight my trilogy, The Fulfillment Series, this month. AND at the same time, my husband's publisher decided to release his thriller novel, 122 Rules, in April as well. Since we couldn't pass up that opportunity to go on tour together, here we are!




About The Fulfillment Series


If you're a fan of fantasy--in the vein of Arthurian legend and Game of Thrones--then The Fulfillment Series is right for you! A young woman named Layla is proclaimed the Fulfillment of a long-awaited peace prophecy and whisked away by religious zealots to marry the son of her greatest enemy. Except...something happens along the way that changes everything. This series has a centuries' long war, epic battles, loathsome villains, complicated heroes, kick butt female characters, and love. A little bit of everything a fantasy should have. ;) I hope you'll join Layla, Wil, Nash, Samson, Vespa, Grant, and the others as they try to figure out their place in the world. 

About Erin Rhew

Who am I, besides a writer. ;) Well, I'm the Operations Manager at a small press, BookFish Books. I wear many hats and dabble in each facet of the business as well as managing the timeline and flow of projects.

I'm an athlete. For most of my life, I've played some sport or another. I grew up on a steady diet of soccer and volleyball but took to running later on. In fact, I love running so much, I became a running coach! 

My team for the Ninja race!


I'm an adventurer. I love going to new places and trying new things!

I'm a friend and a HUGE believe in strong female friendships. You'll see that theme in my series. Girlfriends foreva! 


Female friendships ROCK!

I'm a family person. I'm Southern, and my whole family lives in the same state and gets together a lot. Since I moved to the Pacific Northwest, I haven't seen my family as much as I'm used to, and that's been a difficult adjustment.

My PaPa (Grandpa). He calls me his "Babydoll."

I'm a MAJOR goofball. I love having fun and try not to take life too seriously. I mean, I'll hunker down when necessary, but overall, I like to have a good time with my husband, family, and friends!

And I'm the wife of the best, most amazing man ever put on this earth. I could not ask for a better partner in all things--even writing! Yes, we're BOTH writers! Get this...we MET on Twitter because of writing. Yep! If you want to listen to the podcast of our story, check it out on MindSoak. My husband fills my life with a joy I can't describe, and I'm beyond honored and blessed to be his wife!

Isn't he ROMANTIC??

So there you have it. ;) Now, let's talk books and prizes!

Synopsis: 

Growing up on a small farm in the kingdom of Vanguard, seventeen-year-old Layla Givens lives a deceptively tranquil existence. But her carefully constructed life quickly falls apart when she's abducted by a religious zealot who proclaims her The Fulfillment of an ancient peace prophecy and whisks her away to marry her greatest enemy.

Wilhelm, Prince of the Ethereals, is reluctant to meet his new bride. He's grown up believing Vanguards are evil, an enemy to fight and fear...not love. Can he set aside his prejudices and work alongside Layla to bring lasting peace after centuries of war? 

Nash, a loner who has never fit in, carries a huge secret, one big enough to destroy both kingdoms. When he accidently meets Layla, he's no longer content to live in the shadows, but he must resist his growing attraction--for her safety and for the longevity of the two kingdoms. 

When Nash's secret is revealed, a firestorm sweeps through both realms, with Layla at the center. Now she must choose between duty and desire while the fate of two nations hangs in the balance.

122 Rules


Today, we are announcing my adult thriller novel, 122 Rules



Synopsis

In his black and white world, Sam Bradford--former Marine turned government assassin--finally sees a speck of grey. He has always followed orders without question, but his latest assignment threatens to disrupt the precision of his universe and may either severe or redeem his last remaining sliver of humanity.

Using his mastery of the 122 Rules of Psychology, Sam hunts down everyone The Agency sends him to find and eliminates them. Just as he has his rifle scope focused on his latest victim, Monica Sable, a SoCal girl entangled with the mob, his long-dormant conscience reappears for a final performance...one last ditch effort to save the sinking ship of Sam’s soul. He’s killed innocents before, but tarries on pulling the trigger this time.

When Monica escapes his crosshairs and fumbles her way across the country in a pathetic attempt to elude capture, Sam gives chase. But he’s not the only one after her. Ruthless henchmen, hired by the mob, froth like bloodhounds and nip at Monica’s heels. Now Sam is faced with a choice: turn his back on the rules and jeopardize his way of life by helping her or join the pack and rip her to shreds.

What are readers saying?

122 Rules is a fast-paced thrill-ride, filled with rich characters living in an expertly woven world of mystery and suspense. Deek Rhew’s debut novel will take readers by storm, and keep them coming back for sequels.

​~Michelle K. Pickett, Bestselling and award-winning author of PODs and Unspeakable.


The perfect, fast-paced novel for fans of kick-butt heroines, creepy killers, and getting caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. An absolute must-read!
