Blog Tour Day 4

I'm so glad you're sticking around! Welcome to Day 4 of the Time Travel Journals Blog Tour. Today's post is over at Amy Raby's blog, (Pacific time), or check here, where she interviews me about the book, writing, and other things. She really brings out some interesting details about Shipbuilder.

Remember to leave a comment!

Shipbuilder (Paperback) is Up on Amazon

The link is here.

I'm going to set up permanent links somewhere on this site, so everything is in one place.

Blog Tour Day #3

Edited again: It's up! Thanks for working late, Patty (who is in Australia!). Here's the link again.

Edited to add: There's a minor glitch Patty and I are working. Hopefully, the post will be up over there soon. Stand by!

The fun continues over at Patty Jansen's blog, where I talk about some of the research I did for my novel. Shipbuilder is fiction, even more, it's alternate history, but it's about real people and a real event. There were parts that needed to be historically accurate. Go on...

It's a Book!

The day is really here. My book is Out There, alone in the world, waiting to be read by the masses.

Ahem.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you:

 *I'll just be over here under this rock, if you need me.*

 Seriously though, this book has been four years in the making, from the first idea of, "I've got to write a book about this man!" to the moment we have just reached. In the days to come, I will be posting interviews and character studies at various blogs around the web. I'm excited to have the...

The Time Travel Journals Blog Tour Kickoff

My alarm is set. Tomorrow, September 1, The Time Travel Journals: Shipbuilder goes live. It will be available on Amazon (print and Kindle), and Smashwords (all eformats, including Kindle).

To celebrate, I'm throwing an online progressive party. Starting here, the  party will commence with my own blog post, featuring pretty pictures of my book for sale. With links!

From here, the party proceeds to other blogs on the interwebz. These bloggers have generously donated their space to spread the...

Building a Platform

This sounds like a fun way to work with other writers on building a platform and getting the word out about our books. I'm going to try it. Go take a peek and see if you think it's for you, too.

I'm not sure I have my head around all that this campaign does – it's ambitious! But it really takes an effort to get your name out to the public, and I love that this gives me the chance to provide a shout-out for other authors. We've got to help each other.

Two Days Left!

Get ready to read my book! Thursday is the day.

Check in tomorrow for details on the blog tour, which starts Thursday. There will be interviews, ramblings, and a contest. Leave a comment on any blog tour post, and be entered to win an autographed copy of The Time Travel Journals: Shipbuilder!
