GHOST HOPE Launch and Giveaway!
Olivia Black does not feel safe. Nightmares plague her sleep and haunt her days. If she has to endure one more minute stuck in a safe house in rainy Portland, she’s going to lose it. When Mike Palmer sneaks off to find her sister Kaylee without her, it’s the last straw. She has to do something.
Then Palmer’s hackers find the Dome on a satellite feed: dark, abandoned and smack in the middle of the Oregon desert three hundred miles from where it started. If they can reach it before anyone else, they can crack the computer systems and access every piece of information on PSS the CAMFers and The Hold have ever collected.
But in order to do that, Olivia must return to the origin of her fears in a race against all the forces that have ever pitted themselves against her. She must unravel decades of deceit to reveal the true origins of Psyche Sans Soma to the world at last.
(The first book of the series, Ghost Hand, is FREE, and the second and third are on sale for 99cents until the end of June.)

Author Bio:
Ripley Patton lives in Portland, Oregon with one cat, two teenagers, and a man who wants to live on a boat. She doesn't smoke, or drink, or cuss as much as her characters. Her only real vices are writing, eating M&Ms, and watching reality television.
Ripley is an award-winning short story writer and author of The PSS Chronicles, a young adult paranormal thriller series. The first book in the series, GHOST HAND, was a semi-finalist for The Kindle Book Review 2013 Best Indie Book Awards and a Cybil Award Nominee.

The Start of Something New: Exile Blog Tour and Giveaway
In a lot of ways, 2015 was a hard year for me. There were some health scares with people close to me. I spent a large part of the year dealing with prolonged injury recovery for my horse and adjusting to live in the city after 14 years living in the country. I have also spent the last several months handling my own injury recovery thanks to my dog, Teagan (I love him, really I do) feeling it necessary to leave his bone on the top step in the middle of the night.
On the up side, I started 2015 with the lofty goal of getting another book published. I ended the year with three more books released into the wild. Dissident (Forbidden Things #1), The Girl and the Clockwork Conspiracy (Clockwork Enterprises #2), and Exile (Forbidden Things #2) have all joined my debut novel, The Girl and the Clockwork Cat, out in the world. In 2016, I'm planning the released of the next two books in both series along with the introduction of something new that I'm very excited about.
To kick off the new year, I'm taking Exile on a virtual tour coordinated by Masquerade Book Tours. The stops are listed below. Join me and get involved for the glorious fun of it and for chance to win one of two $25 Amazon/Barnes & Noble gift cards.
May your 2016 be amazing (and full of books)!

Zombie Slaying, a Blog Tour, and a SALE!
I wanted to open with that song in honor of the wonderful spooky season and to commemorate my introduction to Zombicide, a board game I was introduced to last weekend by a lovely group of people. I have to be honest about this, there was something rather empowering about playing a female character running around in a hockey mask with an axe in one hand and a shotgun in the other laying waste to the undead.
In other news, I’m excited to announce the virtual book tour for The Girl and the Clockwork Conspiracy, the long awaited sequel to The Girl and the Clockwork Cat. Join me November 3rd through the 6th for promo posts and reviews of Clockwork Conspiracy (tentative schedule below) hosted by YA Bound Book Tours. At the end of the tour on November 7th, The Girl and the Clockwork Conspiracy will be on sale at $.99 and you can also snag a free copy of Dissident, Forbidden Things book one.

Too Much Editing and Another Giveaway
The previous giveaway has ended and I'm still deep in edits on Exile and Apostate (Forbidden Things 2 & 3) and finalizing details for the release of The Girl and the Clockwork Conspiracy (Clockwork Enterprises 2) next month. Needless to say, original blog content has suffered. I'm hoping to get some new content up soon. In the meantime, I offer you another giveaway.
