RotS Tour Schedule

[JeanLauzier]

Hey guys...

I'll post the schedule here in bits and pieces...probably a week at a time.


Today...

Robert Rhodes has a great post at StoryCrafters. It's 10 Tips for Aspiring Speculative Fiction Authors.

Tomorrow I'm promoting Bill Ward's post in the major promo. It's a great post so if you haven't checked it out before, do so.

Thursdaywill be two spotlights with excerpts. One at Buzz the Book and another at Jame's Enge's blog.

And Friday another spotlight with excerpt at Jeff Parish's blog.

I want to encourage everyone to stop by, leave a comment, link to the posts if you can and of course, buy the anthology. You'll love it!<WBR>

[Jordan Lapp]

Still haven't gotten an e-mail..... when do you want me to post?

It's still technically Thursday (in the Eastern US, anyway), I guess, so I thought I'd post a link to my blog, which is today's stop of the Return of the Sword virtual book tour.

Stop by for a fiery slice of Bill Ward's 'Wyrd of War' (one of my favorites from the book).

Um, yeah, I'd happily put something on my blog if, uh, there was anything in my email inbox... (and I have been checking my spam carefully).

Hey all...


Check out today's stop at http://thebookconnectionccm.blogspot.com and today's guest post.

Writing Memorable Characters by Michael Ehart


15th Bragging Rites
16th - Steve Goble's Blog
18th - Nik Hawkins

[Swashbuckler]

Hey all: Tuesday, April 15, is my day to host the 'Return of the Sword' blog tour ... so I decided to post a bonus story -- 'Gram's Gift' from Amazing Journeys Magazine (Thanks, Ed!)

The story, published a couple of year's ago in Ed's fine publication, features the Faceless Sons -- so it's part of the same sword-and-sorcery cycle featured in 'RotS.'

It'll go live at midnight. I hope you enjoy it.

Steve Goble

Visit my blog, Swords Against Boredom, for news on published fiction and upcoming stories.

[von Darkmoor]

Nice idea, Steve - and a great story to read, folks (that was a great issue of Amazing Journeys Mag to pick up, too).
