Contest suggestion.
Here is another idea/suggestion for a product or design you can createE.L. James put together a soundtrack of all the classical music featured in her book Fifty Shades of Grey
I have thought about doing the same thing. Basically compiling all the songs I mention in Tales of Aradia into an album. And what's an album without album art?
So if you want you can design design or piece of art that I can feature as the cover art for my album.

Favorite Aradians

Free contest!
Nowadays it is not uncommon to see many products with book covers or phrases from book series being featured. Many indie authors such as Lizzy Ford has developed this in products such as bookmarks.
I figured that this would be a great thing to try but rather than design everything myself I will give my fellow Aradians a chance to submit designs and things. You can also submit an idea for what kind of product you want your design to appear on. Anything from a t-shirt to a tote bag to even a bumper sticker.
There is only one catch: you must submit your design to my email address at
If they meet with both my and my editor Harrison R. Bradlow's approval then we will use them.
Keep in mind you can suggest what type of product you want it to be used on.
Don't worry if we approve you will get a percentage of the products sales and we will acknowledge your name with design. You can even give it your own personal signature.
The contest will last until next year the sixth book comes out. So either way, everybody wins.
Good luck my fellow Aradians.
The designs are things you can come up with on your own. The same with the products but here are some examples of the products you can choose:

New five star review!
Latest five star review of book 1!
Thank you Sara u rock!
5.0 out of 5 stars
I loved this story! It was different which I really liked about it. I really love the names of all the characters. Aradia? It's such a cool name, I have never heard of it before. This book was fast past, and had lots of action. At first I thought it would be another love story. But it is not. Aradia is an out spoken, out going person. She says whats on her mind. I usually go for vampires :) but in this book I fell hard for Roy which is a werewolf.. He also has a great personality. I hope the 2 become more in the next book. I will recommend this book to everyone. This book is free guys!! Don't miss out. :)

New reviews!
Two new reviews for book 3!
Thanks Michelle! You rock!
Ok not sure what happened to my review so here goes $2. This is another amazing book with new characters, plots, twists, and turns. You want to find out who Aradia chooses out of her suitors (READ THIS). Shh I am not going to say anymore!! If you want to believe in something, then it should be in this series and in LA JONES..Simply wonderful. Great job.

I am still amazed how this story continues to grow with new characters, plots, twists, and turns. Read this if you want to see if Aradia chooses Roy, Dax, or some of her other suitors. Shhh not going to spoil the end!! All I can say is AMAZING. You want to believe in something then it should be this series and LA Jones. Thanks again for another great book.

Wow I am really getting addicted to this series as much as my craving for Diet Coke. These characters are so much like everyday people such as Dax, Tristan, Roy, and especially Aradia. They could very well be my best friends, ex-boyfriend, and worst enemy lol. Though rape is a negative thing, you can see Aradia's bravery and courage to live past it and move on. Aradia and I have both faced that same evil and survived!! For the non-believers, yes $1.00 or two seems like a lot to spend, but think of the time and personal effort La Jones put into this series. I can
guarantee you it took much more than that to write this book. La Jones your creativity and wit is refreshing...a lot of this is lacking in today's authors. I personally give you a thumbs up.

Review by: Mitchi Kleiber on April 24, 2013 :
This is such a wonderful book for anyone curious about spiritual beings like vampires, fairies, witches, or werewolves. Won't go into any more detail, but a must read. Clever imagination and wit, Aradia is just like the author.

Five star review for book two!
Thank you so much Maria!
You rock hard my fellow Aradian!
An intense read, April 19, 2013
This review is from: Tales of Aradia The Last Witch Volume 2 (Kindle Edition)
This book was one amazing roller coaster ride!
The author has a way of making each character vivid
and real, and making the reader
fall in love or hate with them.
This book was slightly darker in tone and feel than the first volume, but it was necessary for the story to continue to unfold the way it was supposed to.
I loved this story that touched on so many serious topics that need to
be talked about, especially by the targeted audience.
Once again the author has done a great job!
5 Stars!

Attention, my fellow Aradians!
Since I can't release book 6 until next year and do not wish to deprive my fellow Aradians of their dosage of Aradia adventures I have decided to go over my already released volumes and revamp them. This means I will go over the typos and the grammar problems and fix them. I will also make some added changes such as changing the word Tolerane to Amelioration. I know it's not as cool as a new volume in the series but hey it's better than waiting another year with nothing new to read.

Great book. Needs edited but the author stated that, so I overlooked it in rating this book. A few areas in the book was just ok, but I really enjoyed it overall. New concept and great idea, just could use a few tweaks to be perfect. Part 3, April 7, 2013

Very enjoyable tale. Aradia is a fun honest character. It was a pleasure to dive into her world for a little while.I think this you tube should explain how I feel right now.

What is a bad review?
Contrary to popular belief,
By looking at the cover, I saw straight off the way the author lacks knowledge and appreciation of humans. How do I know this? The character looked perfect, was skinny and showing stomach to add sexual appeal, and looked altogether unrealistic and unsuited for what the author thought they wanted to convey.
This was reinforced later when I found out that Aradia was supposed to be 15.
And, of course, the book needs editing. I was especially dismayed when Aradia touched her forearm to feel her tibia.
With all of my study of anatomy, I have never managed to feel my tibia by touching my arm. It was the little details that could have easily been fact checked rather than assumed that got to me.
Overall, the book wasn't hopeless, and the writing style wasn't terrible, but it showed many symptoms of an unprofessional author.
I always appreciate scalding reviews. I don't call them bad reviews because they are very helpful. Bad reviews are ones that are false and never helpful. This latest one is not extremely helpful but helpful nonetheless. Harry always told me that helpful reviews are what improve things. I have to say I agree. Wholeheartedly. So to "Xandrious" thanks for being so honest. You rock!

There wasn't anything I didn't like about this book except that I read it so fast. The story line pulls a reader in and gives enough details to make
the reader more interested to want to find out more.
I've already passed word on to my friends about this series

I have always loved the Salam witch trials and
this books give a whole new perspective on it.
I love how it brings all the different races together
instead of only one or two.
If you love Twilight or any vampire/werewolf story
with some romance,
this is the book for you.
As of right now, it seems like a love triangle,
but then I think *wonder if Tristan likes her too?*
I guess I will find out in the next books.
