Breaking Up is Hard to do - But Sometimes Necessary

By now I'm sure you've all been through the hoopla of Facebook and how it's gone downhill. Especially in terms of pages. 

You can't get new fans without paying to promote your page. And the people who like your page don't see your posts unless you pay to boost them. 

I'm not sure what happened to free social media, but it's plain to see that Facebook doesn't come up to par anymore on that front. Too worried about their bottom line. It's all about making a buck. 

Well. I say no more! 

I will use FB once in a while to email people that I have no other way to contact, be a part of events, and take over other pages once in a while. My page will probably only be updated now with release links, since it's connected to my twitter feed. 

Anyone else with me?

It's not with the hours poured into it for 10 people to see your post! 

Eternal Connections Relaunch

I'm tired of pouring my blood, sweat, and tears into things that no one is bothering to buy.


Who's with me?


That's why I came up with Eternal Connections, a way for authors and readers to come together. While it's an author services company, it's more than that. It's a community. 


Authors and readers alike come together in the important aspect of blog tours! While blog tours aren't the only promotional services offered, or even available anywhere for authors, I find it's one of the most effective. 


I'm relaunching Eternal Connections with a new focus, a drive to bring readers and writers together and making each book it's own little community. 


You worked hard, so you deserve it!


I'm looking for bloggers - whether you just like to read, or you do spend hours reading and reviewing, or are an author yourself. Let's all come together and help each other out!


Sounds great but you don't have a blog? No problem! We will help new bloggers set up for FREE! 


Just email eternal.connections.pr@outlook.com

Piercing the Fold by Venessa Kimbell - Cover Reveal!

For the average human being, seeing dark auras, hearing ghostly whispers, and witnessing a contortion in the face of a passerby could easily be chalked up to hallucinations, daydreams, nightmares; mere illusions in reality. If we look hard enough, we will find explanations for such paranormal events. However, in this world, there are humans that are not so average. These humans are part of a bigger plan. 

Jesca GershonSera is entering her sophomore year of college in Marietta Georgia, her hometown. She holds down a parttime job with her best friend, her family is close by, and school is going well. Everything should be perfect. Except, recently Jesca has been experiencing strange things; hallucinations, nightmares, daydreams that she hasn’t experienced in years. Jesca attempts to brush them off as stress from her new semester at school, but the illusions plaguing her reality intensify. Jesca “illusions in reality” begin manifesting within her as supernatural strength and abilities. Could she be losing her mind? 

Ezra Kahn, a mysterious professor of Jesca’s, happens to be everywhere she is recently; since the illusions intensified. Along with the slight fear that Ezra is stalking her, Jesca fears that he may be the culprit of these illusions. One night, in the heat of one of Jesca’s grand illusions, Ezra approaches her with an unexpected revelation up his sleeve. He reveals that she is not losing her mind, but rather all of the “illusions” in her skewed reality are very real and cause for inconceivable, catastrophic events to come. Ezra explains to her that, by birth, she is part of a fellowship of guardians that have inherited the responsibility to protect our earth and the human race. 

In Piercing the Fold: Book 1, “illusions in reality” are as real as you and I through the eyes of college student, Jesca Gershon Sera, and a fellowship of guardians predestined to protect humanity. 

*The Piercing the Fold series is intended for Mature Young Adult and Adult readers due to the the paranormal and unorthodox scientific concepts addressed throughout. This series contains a rich mixture of the paranormal, science fiction, romance, adventure, and suspense.


In 2010, Venessa Kimball was struck by an idea, a story, that needed telling. Having always been passionate about the written word, Venessa embarked on writing what would become her debut novel, Piercing the Fold: Book 1; a mature young adult/ adult crossover, paranormal, science fiction series. July 2, 2012, Venessa Kimball independently published the first book in the Piercing the Fold series. Book 2, Surfacing the Rim, released March 14, 2013.

In August of 2013, Venessa joined the publishing house, Crushing Hearts and Black Butterfly. The Piercing the Fold series will be re-published with them beginning with Piercing the Fold: Book 1 on September 3, 2013. Surfacing the Rim: Book 2 will be re-published on September 24. 2013 and Ascending the Veil: Book 3 will be released for the first time on October 18, 2013. The final book in the series, Book 4 (Title TBD) will release in 2014.

As for the future, Venessa is already filling her Work-In-Progress folder. Two of her future projects are contemporary fiction and will reflect her diversity as a writer in other genres. When Venessa is not writing, she is keeping active with her husband and three children, chauffeuring said children to extracurricular activities, participating in charitable 5k and 10k races(crazy...but she loves to run), catching a movie with her hubby, and staying up way too late reading.
