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 am SOOOOOOOOO excited for you! Paperback! Eek!! I would pet my book like a cat all day long. LOL! 😉
Thanks, Erin! Can’t wait to hold it in my hands (yes, and probably stroke it lovingly…my precious!). 🙂
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. Keeps your fingers crossed I’m selected to present! Good luck if you end up setting up a blog tour. I’m always open to hosting fellow authors on my blog…just shoot me a note through my contact me page.
Very excited about this book–just wish I was part of the tour! Oh well, maybe next time!
Thanks, Joshua! Even though you weren’t a part of the tour, I’d be happy to guest post on your blog whenever you’ll have me. And you’re welcome to guest post here, too.
