Now that Deadly Addiction has been released, the virtual book tours are starting. Yay! Book tours are an exciting way to meet new readers and to build lasting relationships with book blogging sites.
Last January, when Deadly Obsession was released, I went on a month-long book tour, organized by Bewitching Book Tours. It was fabulous! I hit over 20 blogs and met many new readers. And to make things even better, I received some reviews. For a new author, a book tour is essential to getting word out about your book.
Making Connections Book Tour
This time, with Deadly Addiction, I’m doing two book tours of two weeks each. The first is with Making Connections and runs from May 1st through May 11, 2012. Making Connections is the book tour arm of a wonderful Goodreads group I joined in January. Besides organizing book tours, they help match up authors with reviewers, readers with books, and bloggers with authors. If you haven’t joined this great group yet, I highly recommend it.

Bewitching Book Tour
The second tour, which runs May 14 through May 28, 2012, is with Bewitching Book Tours. I had such a great experience with them in January that I absolutely wanted to do it again.
The schedule is still firming up for this tour, but I’ll update the Events page on my blog with the tour dates as soon as they are available.
Other Activities
I was lucky enough to be asked to write a guest post for the Black Velvet Seductions reader blog. The result of my endeavor was a post about alpha heroes entitled, “He’s an Alpha, Not an Ass.” It has generated quite a bit of discussion so far. Come check it out and weigh in. I’d love to hear your views.

Rhonda – so happy you could stop by! I really appreciate your good wishes. Tours are a lot of work, but they're worth it. Meeting new readers is one of my favorite things–besides writing, of course š
