Dougal is making his Grand Entry into society today, strolling into bookstores, sharing his adventures with anyone who will listen. I hope you'll go on over and let him introduce himself. Don't be shy. He's a lovable—if slightly intimidating—Highlander.

I thought about sending out a blog, talking all about what a wonderful experience it has been, working with Dougal, seeing his story put in to a real book and set on bookstore shelves, but instead I'd like to direct you to the MONSTER book blog/review tour I'm on right now. I'm going to be busy busybusyon the tour, doing interviews and guest blogs, as well as book giveaways* at some of the stops. I'm even having a Grand Prize giveaway* at the end of the tour: 

A signed copy of Sound of the Heart PLUS a four cd set of relaxation cds created by my incredibly talented musical friends, Cori Ashley and Ed Franks
Picture

I'll give you a little insight into why I chose these cds as my prize. First off, my friend Cori is incredibly talented, with a beautiful spirit, and I want to share her creativity with you. 

Other than that, though, well, I'm NOT saying Sound of the Heart is about relaxing … considering the wild adventures Dougal's in for, I doubt he was too relaxed! But Dougal has a gift, similar to his brother's gift. He can relax his mind and hear the thoughts of other men, but he can also sink into his thoughts and hear the sounds and voices of his loved ones as if they were right there with him. These cds were created to help you escape the stress and craziness of your days. Grab a cup of tea or glass of wine (your preference!), light a candle, maybe slip in to a bubblebath, and listen to the sound of your heart.

So ... if you're interested in joining the blog tour, following the whole thing or even just peeking in now and then to see how we're doing, please click here and you'll see what's going on that day.


* All giveaways are restricted to Canadian or U.S. recipients (Sorry, but postage to anywhere else is prohibitive!).

 
 
Do you know what a Blog Tour is? I sure didn't. Now I do.

Did you know there are thousands of book reviewers/bloggers out there? They amaze me, reading and reviewing at breakneck speed! They are the places to visit if you want input on what book to read next - or which one to avoid! So I'm on one this January for "Under the Same Sky" and I really hope you'll join me.
