Let's Talk Favorite Librarians on Day 4: The Tour. The Party.

The Online Party - I've been hearing some comments that the online party/blog tour is slightly confusing, so I thought I'd start each day from here on in with a mini-explanation. As you know, I'm celebrating the release of Losing Faith. Several blog owners are helping me celebrate by featuring me and/or my book on their blog between September 1-14. To encourage you to visit these blogs, I've tried first of all to make all the blog posts very fun and different, and secondly, I'm giving away th...

Read The First Two Chapters of Losing Faith NOW!

Thanks to Google Alert, I've noticed that places like Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Chapters have posted excerpts of Losing Faith online! Some places have an excerpt of the first chapter, some have the entire first two chapters. I'll leave the links below, in case you're interested in getting a head start before the book comes out next week. Or, you can cruise by my website and download the PDF version that looks like the real version of the book, complete with butterflies!

But while you're waiting, head over to Wondrous Reads. In celebration of the release of Losing Faith, they're giving away a really cool messenger bag from Medium Control Goods Store! If you're anything like me, you like to take books everywhere you go. But if you're really like me, you either have nothing to carry them in, or walk out the door with some really ratty looking bag that will likely lose it's bottom with the weight...

The Copies Are Here, The Copies Are Here...

I had heard from a few different sources that finished copies of Losing Faith would be printed on August 16th. So I sat around, barely leaving my computer and biting my nails in anticipation. Finally, this week I received this AWESOME picture from my publicist:


















Aren't they so, so pretty?! I'm in love with the new spine, complete with purple and butterflies! I haven't seen the back yet, but apparently there is one on it's way to me right this very minute.

For My Blog Readers...

I'm not officially releasing the book trailer for Losing Faith to the world until about halfway through my blog tour, but I'm just way too excited about it. So I'm going to have it up on here for a very brief time for my blog readers. Please don't share the link, as I'll be taking the post down soon, and I really only want to show it to my regular blog followers and supporters. For now, at least.

Madison from M2 productions put this together, and I think she did a fabulous job at capturing the...
