A Quick Congratulations

Before I push on with the second half of my tour, I have to pause and wish my friend and critique partner Laurel congratulations. Her baby was born yesterday afternoon - I'm not going to post details publically since it's her news to share, but I just had to mark the occasion. Hugs to the new arrival, Laurel, and lots of love to your family. xxx

If you've missed the virtual book tour so far (and where have you been?!), Keir is a science-fiction romance set across various alien worlds with a tortured hero, a time-traveling heroine on a mission and dark forces at large in the galaxy. Not enough information? Then here's the blurb. :-)

Tomorrow Keir releases on the Lyrical Press website - but it's already up on Amazon right now! So here's another six to tempt you. Having failed to win Keir's trust, Quin moves on and takes in their surroundings, although the scenery leaves a lot to be desired...


Standing up, she moved farther down the passageway, the walls of which were lined with a numbe...

There's an unscheduled stop on the tour today as I visit The Masquerade Crew here who were kind enough to host me at short notice. Comment for your chance to win a $10 Amazon gift card. And you can also read a snippet of their 4 star review for Keir. :)

Six Sentence Sunday #52

Hello! Welcome to another #sixsunday post. A big thank you to everyone who stops by and comments each week. Only another week and Keir will be out! Squeee!
