The Blog Tour Continues for Ripple the Twine and another GIVEAWAY!

As I mentioned yesterday, today’s stop allowed me to sleep in a little later because I stuck around overnight at Change the Word! It felt nice not having to race around to get Ripple the Twine to another destination. Plus I was just happy that I could leave my bed unmade and toothbrush on the side of the sink for the night.

All this travel could wear a person down if they aren’t careful!

Today I share a Guest Post “Listening to Inspiration to Find Your Character’s Voice” and share what it was that kept me motivated to work on Ripple the Twine every day. I hope you have a chance to read my post on Change the Word and leave a comment.

Anyone who comments on the post today or on yesterday’s review post will be automatically entered to win a free copy of the book! Woo hoo!

So please enter to win by stopping by Laura’s place and thanking her for her gracious hospitality in hosting me and my novel for two full days. Tell your friends, tell your co-workers, tell the nice lady at the grocery store…just spread the word about the giveaway, enter, and get winning!

Ripple the Twine Blog Tour Heads to the Midwest

Today’s stop on the two week whirlwind Blog Tour takes Ripple the Twine all the way to Lincoln, Nebraska  for a review on Change the Word, run by the spunky and sweet Laura. I was thrilled to learn how much we have in common – we’re both two-time NaNoWriMo winners (woo hoo for Wrimos!), we both enjoy sports, and we’re both hard at work on our third manuscript. How cool is that? Very…but not as cool as it was for this Indie Author to read her review of my first novel!

Laura gave Ripple the Twine four out of five stars and said that I had “Well-developed, realistic characters with relatable issues” which was cool to hear as that’s exactly what I was going for when writing it. She also gave me about the hugest compliment in the world by saying “Ripple the Twine is a solid debut fiction novel. I look forward to seeing Flynn-Shon's future projects.”

Wowza, thanks so much for the solid review on Change the Word Laura, I’m pretty much going to be doing my own version of the touchdown dance for the rest of the day after reading it!

Please check out my review on Change the Word and leave a comment then poke around Laura’s blog, and follow her on social media (see Contact page for details). If you have a book you’d like reviewed she also has info on that so get cracking writers and get your books out!

I’ll be sticking around Laura’s abode for a couple days, she’s let me share some space at her place overnight, and I have a guest post going up tomorrow. Come on back & hang with us at CtW again on Thursday. I’ll get the link out tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the rave Laura, I greatly appreciate it, but most important for an Indie Author is that people read and review it at all so I’m doubly thanking you for taking the time to do just that!

UPDATE

Ripple the Twine is currently sold in print format but is due to hit the virtual shelves as an eBook in the fall of 2012. Details to follow after the CLP Blog Tour wraps up so stick around!

In the meantime you can go and check out my book on:

Happy reading everyone!

Ripple the Twine Blog Tour Next Stop…

Samantha March is hosting me over at her fun blog today as the Ripple the Twine train pulls into the next station! I was lucky enough to be interviewed by Samantha for today’s post and I must say, her questions really made me stop to think. I appreciate being able to dig a little deeper inside to answer her questions honestly.

As the owner and operator of the blog Chick Lit Plus – the organizer of this wild ride of a Blog Tour I’m on right now – Samantha has been AH-mazing! She’s super friendly & sweet, incredibly organized and works hard to make a Blog Tour the best it can be! When she suggested that I could be featured on her blog too I was thrilled!

Be sure to check out the post and leave Samantha some love. I would like to thank her profusely for doing such a great job with organizing and promoting my Tour and for featuring my interview and excerpt on her own blog today. You rock Samantha, thanks!
