First Book Signing Saturday!

My first official book launch event and book signing is this Saturday! But before I get into that, I'm also over at Elizabeth Varadan's awesome blog today. She's been a blogging buddy of mine for a long time, and a fantastic author in her own right!

As for the book signing this Saturday at 2pm, it will be held in the Burlingame Main Library (Lane Room), courtesy of Books, Inc. My novel will be available for sale at the event as well. We should have a pretty decent-sized crowd, so I'm super looking forward to it! Hope to see you there! 

Heroes & Heartbreakers

I'm chilling with one of my favorite people today at Kristin's blog. She's a fantastic writer, and Kristin has her own novel, Catalyst, coming out soon. I've gotten to read an early copy and it's awesome!

I was also fortunate enough to get to guest post on the Heroes and Heartbreakers blog. You can checkout my article there about "Love and Survival in Medieval Wales." Hope you enjoy it! 

Day Two of My Book

It's day two of my book being released into the wild, so to speak, and I couldn't be happier! Today I'm visiting Crystal and Donna's blogs, so feel free to stop on by and say 'hi.' It feels kind of strange to be in uncharted territory, all this build up and now the book is finally available for people to read!

On another bright note, my Thunderclap campaign was a resounding success! We surpassed our goal of over a 100 contributors, and reached over 300,000 people on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr accounts. Not bad for a single morning. :) 

Today's the Big Day!!!!!

Today is the big day! My debut historical fiction novel Between Two Fires hits bookstores today! Barnes & Noble, Amazon, iBooks, Macmillan, you name, it's available! So pumped!

And to kickoff this big day, I've got quite a few volunteers who have generously posted info on my new book release. Here are their blogs below, where I'll be spending a good portion of my day today! Thanks to everyone for your generous and heartfelt support!

Ninja Time!

I'm over at the master ninja's blog today, the incomparable Alex Cavanaugh! His blog's always a busy one, so I'm thrilled to have a shout out there. Enjoy!

Just one more day until my book officially comes out! The last few years of work will finally culminate in the the ebook and hardcover version of an idea that came to me and refused to let me rest until I wrote it out. Here's to dreams taking shape! :) 

Hanging at Nick's Today!

Hi everyone! I'm over at Nick's Wilford's blog today. Come on over and take a look:)

Also, to anyone who has received an early copy of my novel, please leave a review on Goodreads when you get a chance. Every review, good or bad helps! Although good reviews are of course most welcome:) Thanks again everyone!

Moving On Up

I'm over at Cryssa's blog and Cathrina's blog today as part of my ongoing online book blog tour! I'm only about a third of the way through my blog tour and have already been warmly overwhelmed by people's kind responses. It's been a thrilling experience to say the least!

In addition, guess who's on the top of two Goodreads lists for best new Historical fiction covers? I guess it's sometimes okay to judge a book by its cover ;) If you haven't already, please checkout my book and vote for it on Goodreads Lists! Thanks!

Viva Between Two Fires!

Viva Between Two Fires! Today I'm chilling at V. R. Barkowski's rocking blog. Viva always has such thoughtful posts, so go give it a peek. :)

Just for fun, a couple friends of mine called up some bookstores to inquire about whether they could come in to get my novel the day it debuts. To our happy surprise, every single one of them already said they'll be carrying it on their shelves on release day. I guess I shouldn't second guess my publisher when they said that my novel will literally be in bookstore nationwide next Tuesday. Fingers crossed!

Book Tour Dates!

Whew! The online book blog portion of my tour is going strong with a stopover at Cherie Reich's awesome blog today! Give it a look:)

Also, my initial book launch event and author signing is just a week-and-a-half away, scheduled for Saturday, August 27th at the Burlingame Library (Lane Room) at 2pm. We've already got a pretty big crowd attending, but there's always room for a couple more. If you're in the area, please stop on by. I'd love to see you and hang out!

T-Minus One Week!

It's one week and counting until my novel debuts on bookshelves with St. Martin's Press! Today I'm celebrating over at Peggy Eddleman's blog. Come on by and say 'hello.'

I also conducted a verification test on my Twitter accounting using an app that determines whether or not any of your follower might be fake or from spam accounts. I was glad to find out that of my over 10,000 followers, over 99% tested positive as good accounts with regular traffic belonging to real people. Always a good thing in my book! :)
