In Like A Lion!

March definitely roared in like a lion for me, so I don’t have a lot of time to update, but there are some cool things going on this month:

  • WWoman printThe print version of Widow Woman is complete and will be available for purchase at Amazon by the end of this week! If you simply can’t wait and you happen to be in the Twin Cities area this coming weekend, I’ll be at the Bloomington Writers Festival on Saturday 03/23, where I’ll have print copies available for purchase and signing and will be giving away tons of awesome goodies; I’m also scheduled to do a live reading at 11:25.
  • In addition to preparing for the Writers Festival this week, I’ve also kicked off my first virtual book tour with Orangeberry Book Tours! For those of you unfamiliar with the concept, a virtual book tour allows authors to connect with readers all over via social media, including guest blog posts, Twitter blasts and tweet chats, book features, and more. Orangeberry’s been asking me tons of questions over the last month in preparation for the tour, so if you’d like to follow along, check in on Widow Woman’s FB page or follow me on Twitter. I’m posting a link to my remaining tour dates/sites below; feel free to add your own questions to those Orangeberry asked–I’m having a lot of fun interacting with readers!
  • As many of you know, I wasn’t entirely satisfied with the way the e-book edition turned out, but was unable to rectify the situation in time for the launch in November. WELL–I’ve teamed up with a new company, who has finished the new e-edition, and once the print edition is available next week, I’ll be pulling the e-book edition for a couple of days to process the upload of the new and improved “2nd edition,” so if you go to look for the Kindle version and find it unavailable for a day, that’s why. Please check back–hopefully it won’t be longer than that. Ack, my nerves!

There are a number of things going on on the home front, too, which will require me to go on a partial hiatus for the next couple of months, so after the Writers Festival, I’ll be taking a break from posting for a couple of months, but look for my next updates post-June, when I imagine I’ll have A LOT to say (but then, I always do, right?)
