The Home Stretch of the Blog Tour!

STILL available! Go!

Boy, it's been a heck of a ride here in Authorial Mom land--and we aren't done yet!

As always, A Man of His Word is available at most of the general -Marts--Wal, K, and more, in addition to being online just about everywhere. You've not only gotten your *own* copy, but several for all of your friends and family, right? Good!

I'm at two blogs this week.

First, there's still time to comment on my guest blog at the Jaunty Quills, where I actually put up the photo of me in The Bad Hat. *shudders*

Today I'm at Limecello's blog talking about the *awesome* Book Release Party I threw myself--complete with Book Cake! You've got to see the photos, so go! Check it out!

After today, there's only two stops left on the A Man of His Word Blog Tour--two more chances to win a signed copy, two more opportunities to enter and win the Jewelry Grand Prize!

Still time to enter to win!

December 21: Romance Bandits 

    < http://romancebandits.blogspot.com/>

December 30: Romance University

    < http://romanceuniversity.org/>

After the Blog Tour is over and all prizes have been shipped, I'm going to take January off, read some of the other wonderful books that came out the last two months, and maybe knit a scarf. I'll check in every so often with a guest blogger, though, so don't panic on me.

And before you know it, the cover for my July release, A Man of Privilege, will be up, and we'll do this whole crazy thing all over again!

A Man of His Word is Really, Really OUT!

Now Available! For REAL!

Today's the day, the very big day! A Man of His Word is officially, totally, undeniably OUT, available EVERYWHERE! Yippeee!

And you know what that means, right? That means the Blog Tour just keeps on touring! More prizes! More chances to win! More AWESOMENESS!!

Recent blogs you still have time to comment on:

Romancing the Book--all about the music I listen to!

Jen's Peanut Gallery Musings--an interview with moi!

Kaki Warner's Blog--entitled Virgins No More (does it mean what you think it means? You'll have to read to find out!)

Today I'm at the Writing Playground, talking about the longest, weirdest books I've read (and when I read them).


Be sure to check out this column about me in my local paper--what happens when a seasoned journalist sits down to read a Harlequin Desire--while his wife watches?

I'll be on the air LIVE on WTAD 930 this Thursday, December 8th, at 9:15, talking with Mary Griffith about A Man of His Word.

There are two book signings this week. If you're near Quincy, IL, stop by Great Debates this Saturday, December 10 from 10 until 1. It's going to be a party!

If you're near St. Louis, MO, stop by the Fenton Barnes & Noble on Sunday, December 11, from 2 to 3. I'll be signing with Jennifer Anderson, so come show your support!

A Man of His Word is Out! I Think!

I think A Man of His Word comes out today. Or maybe not. I can't tell. I thought it came out on Dec. 6th--but then Amazon lists the release date as today, Nov. 29th. But it won't 'deliver' the Kindle version until Dec. 1st.

In other words, my book is out! Or not! But maybe soon!! I'm excited!!

The blog tour is on-going. Yesterday I was at Nikki Brandyberry's blog, today Wendy the Super Librarian has posted an *awesome* review at The Good, The Bad, and the Unread, and tomorrow I'll be all over the map at Romance at Random, Musings from the Slush Pile, and Novel Thoughts.

Whew! I'm kind of tired just thinking about it!

Here's the rest of the remaining schedule--plenty of more chances to win a signed book and register for that necklace!

The Blog Tour Begins!

Today kicks off the A Man of His Word Blog Tour!

I'm at Michele Stegman's blog, Thoughts from a Writer's Block, giving plenty of advice to anyone writing a novel this month. I do have to make a last-minute road trip today, so I won't be able to respond to comments until this afternoon, but each comment counts for prizes!

At each stop along the way, any wonderful person who leaves a comment will not only have a chance to win an autographed copy of A Man of His Word (one per blog stop) but also this FABULOUS custom-made book locket from Artwear by Wanaree! It's worth $185, so be sure to comment at each of the blog stops--each comment is another chance to win!

Here's all the stops (for complete rules and regulations, click here):
