Yes, after a decade I'm finally publishing the first installment of Overwhelmed's sequel, so please give it a lot of love, meaning please don't read pirated copies. I want to continue this story (Amazon and my Patreon page are the only sites that have verified copies, though the copy on my Patreon page will be disappearing soon since it Read more of this blog post »

Thanks for accepting my friend request. I look forward to reading and responding to your reviews!
hello from the big island above your little one :) Thanks for the add!
Hi Marita, thanks for accepting my friend request. Hope you're having a fab day. :)
I just want to tell you thanks for having reasonable price books with lots of pages.
Thank you for accepting my friend request and for the wonderful ARC!!!!!!! 
Thanks for the friendship Marita! May your imagination and inspiration always run free!
Gotta get off Goodreads, was supposed to leave an hour ago, but the internet is so addictive. Gone, gone, gone... Hopefully.
Hello :) Been on your goodreads friend list for a while and keep reading all the hype about your books. I don't read ebooks so I'm glad to see your now out in paperback. Just ordered behind the Hood :) Can't wait to read it!
Merry Christmas and have a very Happy New Year, Marita :)

Thanks for the friend invite, Marita. Look forward to chatting books with you.
Looks like the "Behind the Tears" cover will probably be changing due to a different structuring of the story (a work in progress due to be published this year). I am attempting to take out Chaz's viewpoints, therefore not allowing people to know what he's up to. Because of this, Ash will most likely be put on the cover instead. Although he is not the bad guy, he has the majority of the chapters in the book.

I am attempting to get my book "Behind the Hood" on as many blogsites as I can before the end of January. If you have a blogsite with a good amount of followers let me know as I'm giving away some Smashwords' copies. The only condition is for you to review it both on your blogsite and on Goodreads. Merry Christmas.

Alecia wrote: "Hey, Marita just saw the invite to the Ebook giveaway and went to join in but it says it's ended."Sorry about that. It was a short contest. But, I have book 2 and 3 from the same series under the giveaway section if you want to enter those. They aren't going to be drawn for a while, but are paperback giveaways.
Thanks for letting me know. Kind regards, Marita.
Thank you everybody who entered the Behind the Hood competition. Shaniyah and Kitty were drawn as the winners. All the best, Marita.

Still, it was nice to see that someone is recommending my work. Cheers :)
I'd love to know what you think about my new blurb for "Behind the Hood." I wanted to change things as I thought the old one didn't do it justice. The new one below may not be perfect, but with a bit of tweeking it could be just right for the back of my book cover: Behind the Hood (Behind the Lives #1)
by Marita A. Hansen (Goodreads Author)
New Zealand author Marita A. Hansen weaves a breathtaking tale of revenge and violence in the first book from the new series Behind the Lives.
A gang leader, a hapless teenage girl, a young father struggling to support his wife and baby, an abused boy and more give different sides to a harrowing tale that could be told anywhere in the world.
It will leave you bleathless.
