Poughkeepsie Enhanced Collectors Edition App Tour.

 

 

 
Welcome to the Poughkeepsie Enhanced Collector’s Edition App Tour.

 

 

We were lucky enough to get to play with the app already, and let me tell you, it's addictive!! I can't wait for the time when all the books and series we love come with apps just like this. Read all about the app below, check out Jenn's review, and BE SURE to enter the enormous giveaway at the bottom of the post!!

 

Poughkeepsie by Debra Anastasia has been a cult hit bestseller since 2011. A homeless guy counting the smiles of a kind train commuter spiraled into a novel that was nominated by the Rockstars of Romance as one of the most romantic stories ever and won 2^nd place!   It was a story that deserved getting a jumbo-sized enhancement. Extra scenes out the ying yang was, of course, a huge part of the fun. Getting to spend some of those previously undiscovered first moments with Blake and Livia or the moment he proposed was worth exploring. In Debra’s wildest dreams she imagined Poughkeepsie with its own soundtrack, anchored by her favorite musicians. When blockbuster talent Ron Pope signed on with fourteen songs and then Rustic Overtones agreed as well, she knew things were going to get crazy cool.

 After almost two full years of development, the Enhanced Poughkeepsie is ready.  Debra lost count of the hours spent, as did the developer poured into this. It was beast, and more amazing than she could have ever imagined. This app became the most exceptional reading experience Debra could devise for her readers.

Jenn Donald reviews  the Poughkeepsie Enhanced App from Debra Anastasia

Poughkeepsie is one of my very favorite books! It makes me laugh, cry and just captures my heart and this app takes reading to a whole new level!! It makes it an experience. There is music, oh the music, pictures, additional stories and commentary from Debra on certain moments and scenes. I always felt like these characters were real people and now I know they are!

I absolutely lost myself in the story (again) while going through the app and while I haven’t had a chance yet to go through every detail it is amazing and beautiful! I love to get lost in a book but this version of Poughkeepsie is a full emersion into the story. I felt every emotion deeper and became a part of their story. There are so many new details and moments that it was almost like experiencing it all for the first time again. It’s something truly unique to have the pictures and songs right there next to the moments as they happen in the story.

It’s a new and magical experience and I want to hug Debra Anastasia something fierce for creating this gift. I know without a doubt I will continue to spend hours with Blake and Livia and the entire Poughkeepsie crew. I am truly in awe of what she has created here and am amazed to say that I love Poughkeepsie even more, which I truly didn’t think was possible.  Thank you Debra, for creating this beautiful creation that has forever sealed these people in my heart!

Jenn Reviews Return to Poughkeepsie by Debra Anastasia. #giveaway

Summary:

 

Beckett Taylor is a murderer. His calling, his craft are destruction and intimidation—whether he wants it that way now or not. He left Poughkeepsie to keep his brothers safe, to keep Eve safe. Set up with happy lives to live, they’re better off without him, right?

But all his willpower crumbles when he hears his brother Blake’s frantic voice on the phone. An unknown enemy has moved in on his old territory, and Livia’s been taken. In an instant, Beckett knows it will take an attack only he and Eve can execute to bring her back. All his self-imposed embargoes are torn to shreds, perhaps along with the new man he’s struggled to become.

“Brother, call Eve. I’ll be there soon.”

In this emotional and action-packed sequel to Poughkeepsie, Debra Anastasia conjures a tale of love at its most raw and ragged. With Beckett and Eve, how could we expect anything less? But even when it’s messy, not magical, true love perseveres. Real love finds a way—for better or for worse until death does part.

Jenn reviews Return to Poughkeepsie :

5 stars

WHAT A RIDE! Debra Anastasia has done it again!

When I finished Poughkeepsie something happened that I totally did not expect – I LOVED Beckett! He became one of those characters that just stayed with me and now we have Beckett’s book! YES!!

Beckett wants to become a better person, someone who Eve deserves and so that is what he sets out to do. But, come on this is Beckett we are talking about!! He does shit his own way! He has not lived the life of an average person, his has been filled with violence in every direction, but he still has the most amazing love in him, especially for his family! Beckett and Eve are so scorching red hot, and I just can’t get enough of them.

I loved the thrilling ride that was this book! Every character we love is still there and yes, I’m still totally obsessed with Blake.

There is so much action in this book and turns left and right and I don’t want to spoil a single moment, so I will say you must go read this book because Debra Anastasia is a rock star goddess who will leave you breathless begging for more!

AND there will be more!!

Bio:

Debra Anastasia is busy, just like every other mom. There's dinner, the dogs, the two kids, the two kids, and her ongoing battle with...ahem... digestive issues, which combined with her adolescent boy sense of humor makes for colorful and sometimes cringe-worthy social media updates. Her first love and crowning achievement is her thriving career as the weirdest mom on the block.

Her writing started a decent handful of years ago when--along with the animals and humans in her house--the voices of characters started whispering stories in Debra's ear. Insomnia was the gateway to plots that wouldn't give up, wouldn't let go. Now they stalk her everywhere. Halfway through making lunches, a twist takes hold and--fingers full of peanut butter--she finds somewhere, anywhere to write it down.

She's eternally grateful to Omnific Publishing, which has now published four of her books: two in the Seraphim Series and two in the Poughkeepsie Brotherhood Series, as well as her novella, Late Night with Andres. That one is special because 100% of the proceeds go to breast cancer research. (So go get it right now, please!) She also very much appreciates her open-minded readers, who embrace everything she has to offer, with a focus on anti-heroes and bathroom humor.

Debra lives in Maryland with her family. You can find her at DebraAnastasia.com and on Twitter @Debra_Anastasia. But be prepared.
