24 hours before Launch- The Magical Mystery Blog Tour
[image error]Twenty-four hours before the official launch!
The Magical Mystery Blog Tour bus heads north to chilly Canada to visit with writer EDEN BAYLEE this fine day. Heaters on the bus are not needed, especially if you've ever read Eden's work. Wordsmith of fine erotica, and contributor to the Word Count Podcast, Ms. Baylee weaves words into the most sensuous and enticing narratives. Her anthology Fall into Winter is a must-read.
Today, she takes her smoldering, simmering pen and offers up both an interview with me (as a part of her Inside the Author's Mind series) and a marvelous review of The Prodigal's Foole.
Please head over and read both: http://edenbaylee.wordpress.com/
Beginning today and running for the next week or so, any of my followers on twitter, I would LOVE it if you found away to use the hash-tag:
#TheProdigalsFoole
I want to see if we authors and readers can impact the 'trends' on Twitter, and quite frankly part of my global launch will be a conversation with all of those using the tag through-out the day tomorrow!
24 hours to go…

The Magical Mystery Blog Tour - 29 October
The heat is ON!
The Magical Mystery Blog Tour picks up a full head of steam starting with a post at L.M STULL's site (a letter from Symon Bryson - the protagonist of The Prodigal's Foole)
We'll be going around the world for the next week so make sure you stay tuned as the launch date for the first novel of The Arcana Chronicles launches in just TWO DAYS!!
The tour bus stops in Canada tomorrow with author EDEN BAYLEE who reviews TPF and posts an interview with yours truely, and on Launch day we spend time with LEAH PETERSEN for the first of three blog stops (one of which includes my return stint as a judge for #5MINUTEFICTION on Tuesday). The bus continues on to a lovely spot 'down under' with Aussie author EMMETT SPAIN (a fellow Urban Fantasy writer) then spends time traversing the United States with thriller author, AL BOUDREAU, SFWA writer and poet MERCEDES M. YARDLEY and the lovely and talented writer and artist, SESSHA BATTO.
On MONDAY 31 OCTOBER (Launh day!!) I'll be holding an internet-based "eLaunch" where I will be asking all my friends on Facebook, Twitter and around the net to help me get the word out about The Prodigal's Foole. On twitter, we'll be using the hash-tag #TheProdigalsFoole as much as possible, Facebook will have links and stories, and of course the 2nd Annual HALLOWEEN PODCAST for the Word Count will be released which will include a reading from the book!
Crazy week ahead...so please head over to L.M. STULL's site today to kick it all off! Click HERE: http://lmstull.com/2011/10/29/the-prodigal's-foole-a-letter-from-symon-bryson/
And as always, my thanks to my followers, readers and fans for all your support!
Peace
