Elixir Bound Blog Tour Schedule

It’s here: the Elixir Bound in paperback blog tour! I still don’t have an exact date for when the paperback version will be available, but I’ve been assured by my publisher that it will be this month or possibly October. The blog tour goes all month long, so I’ll be sure to update you all when I know.

I have a fabulous line-up of guest posts scheduled and am being hosted by a group of awesome authors, book bloggers, and bookish people! There will be inside looks into my writing life, never before revealed info about the book, a giveaway, and the usual shenanigans you’ve come to expect from me! Here’s a list of stops:

    I just started learning about virtual book tours. Thank you for posting yours. It’s taught me a little more about them and how they work. 🙂

      Hi, Skye (what a pretty name!)! Thanks for stopping by. Yay, I’m so glad you my post helped you out. I actually just submitted a conference pitch for a blog tour workshop.
