Today is the Make Believe Tour Day 2. I’ll be over at J. Keller Ford’s blog. Jenny is the author of The Amulet of Ormisez, the second story featured in the Make Believe anthology. She will be interviewing me today. Exciting! Check it out HERE.
Before you pop on over to read the interview, I’d like to give a special thanks to everyone who has generously helped out on launch day to spread the word about Make Believe. Tomorrow I will announce the winner of an ebook copy of the anthology. More excitement!
An extra special thank you to Alex J. Cavanaugh, Carol Riggs, Libby Heily, Carol Kilgore, Medeia Sharif, Leslie S. Rose, Rachel Morgan, Golden Eagle, Marta Szemik, Nick Wilford who went to the extra trouble of finding and posting those pesky purchase links because I was unable to hand them out before I lost access to the internet.
I’d also like to thank M.L.Swift, a new follower who found my blog via Google, and ‘fell head-over-heels in like’. Aw, thank you so much for the support!
And to Susan Swiderski for the fabulous champagne launch post.
I’d also like to thank Nas from Romance Reader for sending me not one but three romance novels!! Wow! You’re awesome! Dr Chandler’s Sleeping Beauty by Melanie Milburne, St Piran’s Rescuing Pregnant Cinderella by Carol Marinelli, and St Piran’s The Wedding of the Year by Caroline Anderson. I have much wonderful reading to do this month.

While I was away I read Leigh T. Moore’s novel, Rouge. Wow! I loved it! It’s set in historical New Orleans and shows the darker side of theatre life. It sucked me right into the story and didn’t let go. Leigh has a wonderful talent for bringing setting and characters alive. I’d recommend this more for adults rather than teens, but it’s well worth the read. I’ll write up a full review soon, but I just had to mention it here.
Read any good books lately?
Congrats on your story in the anthology, Lyn. As I was travelling I missed out on joining the book launch celebration. Hope I am not too late to spread the word. Have messaged you on FB.

ReplyDeleteLynda, I have absolutely LOVED seeing your gorgeous face everywhere today. So exciting about your anthology! You are such a talent. :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a book tour you've set up! So impressive.
ReplyDeleteI recently read Crash by Jerry Spinelli, which wound up being a surprisingly good middle grade.
Great book tour! I'll get my official post up about it tomorrow. I'm a little slow!
ReplyDeleteCongrats again. I saw the book everywhere on Monday. :))
ReplyDeleteOoh, and that Rouge book looks like my kind of read.
Congratulations on your story and the release of the anthology. I love the cover!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I feel like I've seen this somewhere else today? Oh yes, I believe they call it the internet, which you now own!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had such a great launch day, and hope you continue to have fun with your blog tour! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's great, Lynda! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteGlad to help! And hey, I'm just gonna have to read Leigh's book; that's all there is to it. :)
