I'm on (Virtual) Tour!
In the runup to the publication date for THE BABYSITTER MURDERS (July 26), I'm doing a blog tour with the wonderful group Teen Book Scene.
http://theteenbookscene.weebly.com/th...
Started by three high school students who read and review tons of books, TBS is now an aggregate (agglomeration, consortium, choose your synonym) of book bloggers who select titles from publishers' upcoming lists and then share ARCs and blitz those titles right before they get published.
Each blog will feature BABYSITTER for two days. On the first day the blogger publishes her review, and on the second she publishes an interview or guest post from me that we've worked out in advance. Some of the posts are about BABYSITTER, but many are background stuff like my hobbies, interests, tastes, and travel recommendations.
Spoiler note: Some of the bloggers probed into my character's psychological issues and medical diagnosis, which is not revealed until more than halfway through the book. If you want to wait on finding this out (I must admit that I paced that information to make the book as taut and thrilling as possible), avoid posts that I've marked with "potential spoiler."
Kicking off the tour is
Steph the Bookworm's review

and Steph the Bookworm's interview about my research process (potential SPOILER)

Thanks to everyone at Teen Book Scene for giving me a tour without traffic and airports.
