Introducing indie author
Tammy L. Gray
and her YA romance
Sell Out
*********
I love introducing my readers to debut authors with my Author Alerts feature so I’m now expanding that to share with you talented independently published writers. Buying novels from publishers we trust is usually a safe bet, but when it comes to risking our book budget on an unknown indie writer, we are less likely to take the plunge! Because I know there are some supremely talented indie inspirational writers, I’m going to share them with you through an Indie Author Alert. These authors will have my recommendation because I have read and loved their stories and I know you will, too!
In my first Indie Author Alert, I’m delighted to feature the lovely Tammy L. Gray who is about to release her sixth novel on September 29th!
Who is Tammy?
Tammy L. Gray is the kindle best selling author of the Winsor series and Mercy’s Fight. She writes modern Christian romance and clean YA/NA romance. She believes hope and healing can be found through high quality fiction that inspires and provokes change.
When not chasing after her three amazing kids, Tammy can be spotted with her head in a book. Writing has given her a platform to combine her passion with her ministry.
I’ve read four of Tammy’s novels and have the remaining two on my Kindle and I can’t wait to dive in. Tammy writes contemporary love stories that are thought-provoking, genuine, romantic, and powerful. She creates layered characters whose struggles and desires resonate as you follow their journeys. I highly recommend Mercy’s Fight, her novella Waves of Summer in Just One Summer, Shattered Rose, and her soon to be released, Sell Out. Prepare to be somewhat of an emotional wreck as you read this highly evocative novel! I endured the full gamut of emotions as I journeyed with Skylar and Cody, as they experienced fear, outrage, mercy, revenge, and love.
For now, here’s a look at all of Tammy’s novels. And if it’s not enough to take my word for it, Shattered Rose and Shackled Lily are currently FREE in digital format as I put this post together, so you have nothing to lose. I’m not sure how long the freebies will last so don’t delay!
Four Best Friends. Four Love Stories. Just One Summer.
Four college girls, best friends since childhood, have found one constant in their ever-changing lives–summer. Every June the girls choose a destination to reconnect, only this summer is different. This year, each one must face life’s challenges on her own, overcome fear and failure, and learn the beauty of falling in love for the first time.
Waves of Summer by Tammy L. Gray
Sydney Andrews wants nothing more than to get away from a controlling ex-boyfriend, find some clarity and enjoy a drama-free vacation. But nothing in Sydney’s life is ever that easy. Especially when the sexy bartender she meets at her mother’s wedding wants more than just her friendship. He wants the girl she’s forgotten how to be.
Mercy’s Fight
He feared no one…but himself.
Recovering from a past shaped by violence, Matt Holloway has sworn to live a different life than his parents did. Matt has found a purpose that keeps his lingering pain and fear at bay: helping others to heal. Yet the nightmares continue to haunt him.
Grace has lived a life of luxury, sheltered by her family’s money and connections. When a betrayal forces her to question everything, she leaves her family and accepts an ambitious position in a career for which she may not be ready.
When the two first meet, they cannot deny their instant, intense attraction. While Grace is willing to take another risk with her heart, Matt remains chained by his past and struggles to trust their future together. Fighting to save the children they’ve pledged to help, Matt and Grace must learn to overcome the pain in their past and find their true courage.

Shackled Lily

He vowed to make her his…

Naomi Bennett spent the last year finding herself. Running away to Portugal was more than just a trip to find culture, but also an escape from the first man she ever gave her heart to. Now home, the last thing Naomi wants is to catch the eye of notorious playboy, Jake Matthews. But Naomi soon discovers that Jake is not the same person she once knew.
Drawn to his pain, Naomi gets swept up in a whirlwind of circumstances that will shake the very fabric of her precisely planned future and cause her to question every idea she ever had on love.

I discovered Tammy’s novels earlier this year and quickly devoured them all. My favorite so far is Mercy’s Flight, and I’ve been eagerly awaiting Cody’s story for several months now. I have been recommending Tammy’s books to everyone I know so I’m happy to see her being featured on your blog.

I’m so happy to see Tammy getting more recognition on here. I read Mercy’s Fight in January of this year and then quickly picked up her back list. I then stalked her FB page until I saw I saw her announcement for Sell Out. 10 more days!
