Shannon (maechs) | 809 comments Okay, folks! It's that time again! Making Connections Blog Tours is back for Season 2!

Sorcery and Scholarships by Ian Isaro

Everyone wishes the ancient prophecy would go away. Pixies commute to work and sirens make mp3s of their songs, yet antique forces stubbornly persist. They want to bring about a war between Light and Darkness in an era when most people just want to cash in on the merchandising.

Aki is struggling to make ends meet and hopes her scholarship can at least earn her a better apartment. Blake refuses to believe he could be something so cliché as a Knight of Darkness. Keisha is pursuing a career in law when she's told she has no choice but to serve the forces of Light. All of them will be attending the same university, whether they like it or not.

It's hard to think about dark omens when there's a term paper due, much less a party that night. But they'd better relax while they can, because after college is only the real world, which is stranger and more dangerous than they could possibly imagine.


We've learned from our previous season, and have chosen to make some slight changes to the Making Connections Blog Tours.

This blog tour will run from October 7th - 13th. We are looking for hosts for reviews, interviews, and/or promo posts (these are limited to 3 total promo spots for the tour- first come, first serve) . The dates are also a first come, first served basis. If interested in hosting a stop during this tour, please leave your email with your preferred date, type of stop (review/promo/interview) and link to blog. All Smashwords formats are available, and all review posts will be eligible for the tour-long eBook(s) Giveaway. If you sign up, I will send a confirmation email to everyone along with the schedule.

A reminder of the scheduled stops will be sent to everyone 1 week in advance. If at this time any blogger is scheduled for a review on the tour and finds themselves rating the work under 3 stars, we request that the tour stop become promo only (your review may be posted after the tour stop), or that blogger will be asked to excuse themselves from the tour.

Alana ~ The Book Pimp (loonyalana) | 501 comments My husband didn't allow me any computer time last night, so I have not yet had access to the email. I will see to it today, and update this thread in addition to sending confirmation emails to everyone. Thanks for checking- NEVER hurts to make sure I'm on the straight and narrow!

Ian Isaro (ianisaro) Thanks to everyone who participated and for all your kind words. I tried to link to everyone's blog from mine, but couldn't find the entry in a few cases (then again, Sunday isn't over in North American time zones).

Some of you really enjoyed the book - if you're interested, I'd be willing to give you a copy of the sequel as well. Also, many thanks to all who cross-posted their reviews to Amazon or Goodreads.
