Kicking off the Live and Let Fly book tour!

Wow--so I disappeared for a couple of weeks.  Sorry about that.  I was having an awesome time at the Catholic Writers Conference Online.  (The next one is March 4-15, 2013.  Mark your calendars now!)  I'll talk about some great things I learned at CWCO on Thursday.  Today, I'm kicking off the Live and Let Fly Book tour!



The book comes out April 20 in electronic form only, though if sales are good, we'll go to print.  I'm so thrilled!  This book has been YEARS in the waiting, and sometimes "Vern fans" would ask me when it was coming.  Thanks, MuseItUp.  We had a lot of fun editing it (gonna post about that on April 16.)  Lex Valentine came up with the awesome cover art.

My friend asked, "Who's the hottie in the sunglasses?"  It's Vern in human form.  Did you expect any different?  He's a gorgeous dragon, after all.
You can see how excited I am, because this tour is HUGE.  Do drop by the stops and make a comment--several are having give-aways of the book.  Also at the end of the month, I'll be posting a scavenger hunt.  The clues are in the tour (the posts marked "Hunt.")  This is the first time I've tried this, so we'll see how well it works, but I'll have a big prize basket with books and more.
