Visions of Zarua – Last #Blog Tour Update

Featured Image -- 9973


I can’t believe the tour is almost over, just two days to go.


First I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has liked, shared and retweeted everything to do with this tour. I really appreciate your help in my efforts to get Visions of Zarua more exposure. Please keep up the great work for the last few days.


And of course, thank you to the bloggers who have been kind enough to host me, and the reviewers who have read my book for this tour.


If you have read Visions of Zarua, would you consider leaving a review? I’m into double figures now with some great 4 and 5 star reviews. A few more and it might be enough for Amazon to start taking notice.


***


Originally I planned to have two ebook giveaways of Visions of Zarua, but as the second one fell through I decided to have two winners from the rafflecopter giveaway set up by Bookwraiths on Sunday 26th June. Congratulations to the winners…

The last two days will features 2 more reviews, a last picture quote, Q&A and information about the Goodreads worldwide giveaway. Please join us then.


I’ll leave you with a couple of picture quotes from the last few days;


Varnia & gate scene for blog tour varnia and elderflower scene for blog tour


Plus a couple of fun ones I’ve posted during the tour;

A final note – It’s been pointed out that some of the links to other bloggers sites have not worked. Most are ok, but if you get to a website and it states page not found, you just have to click on the header for the blogger and it will take you to their home page.


Thank you, and have a great weekend.

Today I welcome author Suzanne Rogerson with her new book Visions of Zarua. 





Two wizards, 350 years apart.



Together they must save the realm of Paltria from Zarua’s dark past.



An ancient darkness haunts the realm of Paltria.



Apprentice wizard Paddren is plagued by visions of a city on the brink of annihilation. When his master Kalesh dies in mysterious circumstances, the Royal Order of Wizards refuses to investigate.



Helped by his childhood friend, the skilled tracker Varnia, and her lover Leyoch, Paddren vows to find the killer.



The investigation leads Paddren down a sinister path of assassins, secret sects and creatures conjured by blood magic. But he is guided by a connection with a wizard from centuries ago – a wizard whose history holds the key to the horror at the heart of the abandoned city of Zarua. Can Paddren decipher his visions in time to save the Paltrian…

Macro Moments Challenge – Week 3 – Rose Chafer

I’m very excited to have discovered a new competition for Macro photography on MusingwithSusan. Please check out her blog for the rules, and links to others taking part.


I love macro photography, especially since I got my new phone a few weeks ago as a belated birthday present. This picture was taken in my garden on a Sony Xeperia Z5 Compact.


2016-06-17 13.18.24


I have posted a few pictures of this lovely Rose Chafer on my blog, but this actual photo wasn’t used. I think it’s better than the previous ones (I hope that’s not classed as cheating in the rules).


I love the details my cameraphone has picked out. Don’t you just want to tickle that furry little belly!

Day 9 of the blog tour finishes with a Q& A session and a very cleverly put together book review by Barb Taub. Enjoy.
