Thanks so much to everyone for all the support on The Ghosts of Aquinnah release yesterday! I've been slowing kicking off a blog tour during the week and am visiting Misha Gericke today for an interview. If the interview isn't up yet please check back another time, I know Misha's been having some internet problems lately due to a move and I really appreciate her taking the time to host me in the middle of all that.
I also visited Cherie Reich's Book Chat with a Ghosts excerpt on Monday and the Untethered Realms blog on Tuesday to talk about the webcam that got this story started for me. And, Cherie was kind enough to review Ghosts on her Surrounded by Books blog, so please check that out. Finally, Michael Di Gesu wrote one of his fabulous intros for Ghosts yesterday so please visit him if you haven't already. Michael has an amazing gift with words!
There was a bit of a mix-up with the Kindle edition of the book on Amazon and for now the Kindle link is separate from the paperback. The updated purchase links are:
Amazon, Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, and the Ink Smith Store.
Ink Smith is holding their Holiday Sale now through December 16. All paperbacks are 30% off and all ebooks are 40% off, so it's a great time to check out Ghosts through their store.
Just seeing all the choices and pictures makes me want to hop in my car, jump on a boat, or catch a plane and head out on a marathon trip around the world. Since that's not possible I'm really enjoying the virtual tours. Thanks again to everyone who is participating. Please remember to enter the rafflecopter for our giveaway! And if you'd still like to sign up, it's not too late! The Linky List is still open and at the bottom of the post.
Last but definitely not least, it's time to Celebrate the Small Things with Vikki at Scribblings of an Aspiring Author.
This week I'm celebrating the obvious, The Ghosts of Aquinnah release and the Dream Destination Hop! I've had such a fun week and I owe much of that to all of you here in the blogospere.
I'm also celebrating that the college I work at closed today due to weather. I'm not happy about the ice and snow but I'm thrilled to have an unexpected three day weekend. Yay!
Finally, I hope I can celebrate victories for my Buckeyes and my Bengals this weekend. The lousy weather makes for a perfect weekend to stay inside and watch football.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
