*GUEST POST* Jennifer Selzer & Daniel Huber, Authors of 'Legend of the Chosen'

Hi guys! I am soooo excited to host my first ever guest post and have to thank the wonderful Jennifer Selzer and Daniel Huber for allowing me to do this. Not too long ago, I requested to read their sci-fi/fantasy debut novel; Legend of the Chosen (Destiny's Kingdom 1) and I was so fascinated by the book that I had just had to learn more! The result of my curiosity is this fantastic guest post and the give-away coming very soon :). Before I hand the reigns over to Ms Selzer and Mr Huber, here is a summary of their wonderful book:

In the beginning the gods created evil

Left alone it grew vengeful

Angry, it sought to destroy all of existence

The Bethel galaxy is all that remains.

Bethel, the charmed central planet of the galaxy is on the brink of the year’s most anticipated event: the celebrated Twilight Bloom. Quade Decairus has no reason to believe that this year will be any different than those in the past: food and music, friends and the good cheer of those he loves the most. So why has he been plagued with nightmares of the end of his world coming on this very night?

Prophecies masked as legends. Impossible visions, bringing universal destruction. Only one man can seek those chosen to stop the evil and save them all.

In a world rich with magic and technology, a seamless blend of Fantasy and Sci-Fi, Destiny’s Kingdom explores Quade’s journey as he quests to save a galaxy that has always known peace and prosperity from a powerful evil only he can face.

Legend of the Chosen is book one in the Destiny’s Kingdom series.

My Review

"All she could think of now was the events of the previous day, all she kept hearing again and again in her mind was Quade's voice, all she kept seeing was the confused desperation that flashed in his eyes.

'P'cadia lost, P'cadia found...' How could this be happening?" (51%)

So far so good with this book! I am 51% of the way through it and am loving it. When I initially started I had the feeling of oh-no-not-another-dragger but I am soooo happy to be wrong! The introduction of the character of Clea (as quoted above) is what changed it for me I think. I was lucky enough to request and receive this gem to review from Goodreads and will probably have the review up by the end of the week at the pace I'm zooming through it :).

Attempting to get technical!

I've had my blog for coming up to three months so have decided it's about time I attempted designing myself a button! The blogs which I follow have some really lovely ones and I have no idea where to even start with planning mine! I love to draw but I don't think my skills are anywhere near good enough to actually become a blog button. How did you guys go about designing yours? Any tips are definitely welcome, I am totally out of my depth with the whole Photoshop thing. I may have to ask my lovely boyfriend Phill for some help with regards to that, but playing around is always fun!

As awkward and unbelievably cheap this sounds, I really don't want to pay for one and really want my own individual button (I have a masters to fund somehow!) so it looks like it's going to become yet another learning process through my blog. I'm so proud of how much it's beginning to grow in such a short time - completely in awe of those of you who have been blogging for even less time and are soooo successful with it :). It's like having a baby! A little worried about how it's going to go during my actual course at university, hoping that reviewing the books which I will have to read will help and go alongside the essays I will have to do.

Next blogging steps:

☯ Design a blog button

☯ Painfully await the 6 month mark of having a blog to begin requesting ARCs

☯ Start learning how to create a personal template

☯ Get up to date with reading books up for review!
