Circle of Fire Virtual Tour Day Five – REST!

Even on tour, an author gets an occasional day off. Usually, I spend mine sleeping, writing, reading, and exploring the city I happen to be in at the time.

So while today isn't exactly a REST day (I had to go to the nursery to find out why the cucumbers in my garden are sickly and then do a few other errands), I do plan to chillax by getting in some reading, writing, and maybe even a Mario Kart race or two with Caroline (I always lose – even to Baby Mario).

And now, a recap of the past week;

We kicked off a new feature called Mystery Monday with a video about the Bermuda Triangle.

The Song of the Week was Higher Window by Josh Groban, my way of sharing it with you since I was taking Kenneth to the concert that night for his birthday.

Wednesday was Circle of Fire release day. WOOT! We kicked off the virtual tour with a contest that could win you one of 25 hardcovers of my next book, A TEMPTATION OF ANGELS. All you have to do is buy Circle of Fire in the first week of its release and email me a copy of your receipt. As a bonus, everyone who does so will get a signed bookplate for their copy of Circle of Fire.

Thursday I wrote about my journey to publication, starting with my first book (didn't sell) and ending with my fifth (which ended up being Prophecy of the Sisters). I don't usually blog about writing, but since I'm so often asked about it on tour, I spilled all the details about agents, editors, determination, and frustration in this post.

Friday, Kenneth, Rebekah and I hosted a super fun podcast in which we had lots of listeners conversing on the chat and quite a few callers. We talked about movie reboots, brothels, and household chores (in no particular order). You can listen to the archived podcast here.

Yesterday I celebrated day four of the virtual tour by launching my Random Shite Giveaway. I'm having so much fun watching the entries. It's hilarious! You can participate through tomorrow night at Midnight EST.

Tomorrow, I'll have more in store for you on day five of the Circle of Fire Virtual Tour and I have more fun stuff planned for you through the 17th, including a post on self-editing, a slide show of things that inspire me, a video tour of my house and property, and a Livestream chat and interview with Kenneth, the composer of the original Prophecy music. I'm having a great time with the tour and hope you are, too.

Thanks for making Circle of Fire Release Week so much fun!
