Blog Tour Recap and Spirit of Fire eBook info

Blog Tour Recap and Spirit of Fire eBook info

The Spirit of Fire Blog Tour is underway, the eBook version is now available, and Fandom Fest is coming up in just a few weeks.  Yes, things are very busy as always, but I hope that everyone is enjoying the latest tour stops.

Unfortunately, I was unable to make it to ConCarolinas this weekend. Circumstances on the homefront were unavoidable.  As most of you know, my mother has a very unstable health condition, and there's only myself and my sister to keep a watch on her.  When I'm out of town my sister keeps a close watch on her, but the new vehicle that my sister got spent most of the last week in the shop, had a breakdown less than a couple miles out from the place she got it that required me to go get her, etc.  With the uncertainty swirling around her vehicle, I just could not leave town.  I hope everyone understands the situation, as I hate having to cancel anything on my calendar. 

On better news, the blog tour activities have had quite a mix of things.  I just had my first video interview for the Soliloquy Blog site, I've done guests posts on a few different topics, I had a very extensive interview on the Ginger Nuts of Horror site, and even had a character interview of Mershad from the Fires in Eden series.

Very Interesting New Exodus Gate Review from the U.K.

It is always interesting to see the kinds of perspectives that various reviewers take to an author's work, in terms of what they focus upon, or what particular elements appeal to them (or doesn't appeal to them!). I wanted to post this newly-posted review of The Exodus Gate, from Fantasy Book Review in the U.K., as I really was happy with the approach and analysis that they took to the review. They took the book in the light that I intended, especially as it pertains to the supernatural elements involved. I really appreciated that, as it is sometimes easier to slap a label on something as opposed to really getting at the distinctions and nuances that do set something apart from other things that deal with similar topics.

If you get a few moments, please check this review out!
