Blog Tour: Heavenward by Olga Gibbs

One of the best things about being a blogger is the wonderful people you meet and interact with along the way. Many of these have become firm friends and one such lady is author Olga Gibbs. Right at the beginning of my blogging ‘career’ she got in touch to ask if I would be interested in reading and reviewing her book, Heavenward. I read the blurb, loved the sound of the story and eagerly agreed. I went on to share my review and along with it made a fabulous friend in Olga.

Fast forward several months and after much discussion Olga has entrusted me to organise a Blog Tour to promote her newly revamped Young Adult book – it may yet be a decision she regrets! Without blowing my own trumpet too much, organisation is my forte and something I enjoy doing so helping with the tour has been more like fun than anything else.

Synopsis

Life is tough for Ariel. A childhood, filled with domestic violence, neglect, abuse and the recurring nightmare that plagues her every night, for as long as she remembers, questioning her sanity, and a secret, which she doesn’t want anyone to know and is so desperately to forget herself. Now she’s locked away in a rural town in a Northern England, with her life as dull as the town itself.
But when three new students appear in a sleepy town’s school, Ariel doesn’t suspect that her life is about to change forever, as she is drawn into an ancient celestial conflict, that is bigger than her, and which she needs to survive to remain herself.
But would you chose to protect humanity that broke you or would you take revenge?
It’s a story of a survivor, who’s refusing to be a victim and is prepared to fight until the end.

About The Author

Olga Gibbs lives in a leafy-green town, nestled amongst the green fields of West Sussex, England. She lives with her husband Richard, their two daughters and the ginger cat Fluffy.
Olga has been writing since the age of fifteen, mainly short stories and novellas and was a guest columnist for a local newspaper. When she is not dreaming up new adventures for her imaginary friends, she does outreach work with teenagers.

All of her books and stories feature a strong female protagonist. This she hopes will help shift attention away from strong, powerful able male characters, showing readers that women can be equally powerful and capable. Olga has written these strong females to inspire not only her own daughter’s but all young women, allowing them to believe in the enormous strength and power they possess within themselves. By doing this she hopes to challenge the over-sexualised, male dominating messages society sends which often expect young women to behave and obey in a certain way, seeing them only as pretty trophies. If she only inspires one girl, even a little, she will be happy!

She is currently writing a second book in the “Celestial creatures” series and another stand-alone psychological crime thriller book with two other books in the pipeline
