Winners of the Coda to Murder Book Tour Drawing

Thanks so much to my hosts for inviting me to stop on the Coda to Murder Book Tour. I had a blast working with them and getting to know them better. Many of the hosts swapped blogs with me and often we blogged on the same day inviting readers to hop over to each other's site.

Here's a list of my wonderful hosts so you can visit them when you get time.

Meet Me at Gail Roughton's Flowers on the Fence

Today is March 21 and my last stop on the Coda to Murder Book Tour is at that Southern belle's site, Gail Roughton's Flowers on the Fence. This is a great place to be talking about conflict in stories because Gail is a master at bringing on the conflict and her characters facing it head-on whether it's between a witch and a warlock or a Georgia police man and a bad guy--can't say who because it would ruin the story!!

Please pop on over to Gail's site and let's discuss the conflict in a story you read or wrote. There's always got to be a guy in a white hat vs a guy in a black hat.

Be sure to leave a comment to enter the drawing for prizes to be awarded on Friday, March 22 at 9 pm.

Final Week of Coda to Murder Book Tour

The Coda to Murder Book Tour winds down this week. I've enjoyed meeting new authors and re-visiting, I can't say old authors, so I'll say author friends. We connected to swap blogs, but we also had a chance to swap experiences and everyday chit chat. It has been a very satisfying experience.

Needless to say a book tour is an exciting time running around cyberspace, meeting new folks, receiving comments and well wishes. I hate to see that end. I guess I'll just have to get another book ready so I can do it all over again, eh?

This week you will find me visiting three more generous hosts.

TODAY Monday, March 18--Scott Caseley--Lacey tells about her experience in helping out her best friend, Pastor Christine. 

Tuesday, March 19--Viola Ryan--My inspiration for writing this story

Thursday, March 21-- Gail Roughton--Conflict

Winners of the random drawing will be selected on Friday, March 22, 9:00 pm, so be sure to leave a comment in any of the stops along the tour.

Coda to Murder Tour Continues at Joselyn Vaughn's Site

You're invited to come on over to sweet romance author Joselyn Vaughn's blog today. She is hosting authors  for her Fueling Creativity event where authors talk about their crafty side. So what is my creative side--besides spinning stories? After twenty years in the floral business, I offer tips on flower arranging. Yeah, really. Even  if you don't know a rose from a dandelion, I think you'll get some helpful information to inspire you to "plunk" some flowers in a vase!!

Don't forget to leave a comment for the random drawing 

to win prizes at the conclusion of the tour!!!

I hope to see you at Joselyn's website 

where you will discover her creatively written witty books. 

                                                                

Exciting Events This Week

This week is full of wonderful, exciting events. My daughter's birthday is on 

Thursday March 7. 

Happy birthday, Lee Ann oxoxox

Release day is today for my writing buddy, Tess Grant! Book Three of the Kitty Irish Trilogy is out. Flying in the Dark is available at Amazon, Smashwords, and on sale at Turquoise Morning Press! It’s on the way at Barnes and Noble and in paperback. Congratulations, Tess.!

High school senior Kitty Irish knows exactly what Daniel Phinney expected of her—eradicate the werewolves haunting the Manistee National Forest—until her father comes home from Iraq and takes over.
Too bad Kitty’s plan unravels. 

I will be hopping around cyberspace. I look forward to visiting with readers at the following stops this week--

Today through Thursday at Rosemary Gemmell's blog talking about what inspired me to write a non-fiction book for girls, Girls Succeed: Stories Behind the Careers of Successful Women.

Tuesday, March 5 at Kim Creswell's blog. She asks lots of questions to make me think.

Thursday, March 7 at Tess Grant's blog about choosing a title for a book.  (yes, this is my friend who just released her book. I'm visiting her on Thursday. I hope she has come down from Cloud 9 by then.)

I hope you'll join me this week. And don't forget to leave a comment on the Coda to Murder book tour visits to win prizes!!

Thank you!!
