My official BLOG TOUR started last week with Joyfully Jay, (click link to view) where I discussed WHY THIS TITLE, WHY THIS BOOK? I posted a giveaway and an excerpt. There is still time to enter the contest at Joyfully Jay, so go NOW and post a comment to her blog. Then on Thursday, I appeared on Prism Book Alliance. I listed "10 interesting facts" about myself and I also had a giveaway and an excerpt. I want to say, that ALL these excerpts are unique and if you want to get a true picture of this book, AND ME, then you should hop to each blog as read what I have to say. I MAY post those later on my blog, but to do so NOW defeats the purpose of a Blog Hop.
Coming up this week I will be featured on The Blogger Girls tomorrow for RELEASE DAY!!
There is still time to PRE-ORDER Names Can Never Hurt Me from Dreamspinner Press. In fact, right this second (Sunday, 3:14pm) I noticed my titles are on SALE!!!!!! If you order a paperback, you get the eBook free. This is especially good if you want me to sign a book at GRL. Buy the paperback from Dreamspinner while it is on sale, bring it with you for a personal message, and read the eBook tomorrow morning as soon as it is ready to download. I think that is brilliant.
I posted in a BLOG post earlier today that I will NOT be able to sell books at GRL due to licensing and taxes and a fee that will occur if I choose to sell out of state. I live in MD. I pay taxes in MD. If I sell in IL then I have to pay taxes to IL and anything with the government is an issue. In order to get around licenses, GRL is contracting a "book seller" to submit taxes for the books sold, however there is a fee involved. If I have to buy the paperback, and then charge a fee to YOU in order to pay THEM, I can't make it worth while for you. So, hey, PRE-ORDER! I know when I bought The Art of Breathing by TJ Klune, I got the paperback in the mail about 4 days after it released, but the eBook was available right away on release day. I have my pretty paperback signed by TJ, and I have a mobile version that goes with me. I liked that option, so maybe you will too! And Dreamspinner does PFD, Mobi, ePub and other forms of eFiles. Just saying'.
On the Blogger Girls I will discuss why this book is "A Long Time Coming." Again with a giveaway and also a unique excerpt. If you follow the excerpts, beware it can be a spoiler. I like to read books from front to back and I never peek in the middle or look ahead. If you are like that then you may want to shy away. But hey! I'm giving away gift cards and a paperback (Joyfully Jay) and gift certificates and stuff.
August 12 - Rainbow Book Reviews will post a review of Names Can Never Hurt Me. I can't wait to see what Lena Grey has to say. All her reviews are well thought out and deep.
August 13 - Smoocher's Voice will post an interview I did with Jodi. It should be fun! I also list an excerpt!!! I met Jodi in Tampa at Rainbow Con. We chatted and she bought some books. After reading NAMES she then read ALL my books--crazy girl--and then can up with lots of questions to ask me. Visit her blog on Wednesday to see my answers. Also doing a giveaway, but thinking now about what it will be.

If you want some fun, visit Jeff&Will's blog to read more about ME.

FRIEND FRIDAYS is up agin this week with Tammy Middleton. Previously I have hosted Sue Brown, Jeff Adams, Gregory Payne, and Chris Shirley.
I look forward to your comments and reviews on NAMES. I sincerely hope that you love this story and that my wonderful readers will make it a best seller! Since I only normally write and publish one a year, I have most of my eggs in THAT basket. hahaha.
My work in progress is coming along slowly. I hope i can find some quiet times this week to add to it.
Hugs to you all, and thank you for your continued support and love.
Wade
