Getting ready to tour the blogs


I’d seen so many mentions about blog book tours, or virtual book tours as they were first known, that I decided late last year to do one for The Surest Poison, my new Sid Chance mystery coming out next month. It is all but nailed down with only one stop left to settle on, the final day of the tour.

The Surest Poison tour will run from April 15 through April 30, with two Sunday’s off. If God could rest on the Sabbath, I figure, so can I. I’ll be visiting fourteen different blogs during that time, writing about various subjects, at least tangentially related to the book. There will be interviews and lots of cool stuff.

As soon as I’ve confirmed that last date, I’ll give the schedule here with the places I plan to visit and the subjects of the blogs. To make it fun to follow, I will be giving away copies of the book to lucky people who leave comments on my posts.

Although the official pub date isn’t until April, the book is already available on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. To check out some great reviews, go to The Surest Poison page on my website.

And don’t forget to watch for my tour. You’ll learn all sorts of interesting stuff about the story, the characters, and how it all came together. There will even be interviews with the main characters, Sid Chance and Jaz LeMieux. Stay tuned.

Enjoy your tour, Chester! Kick back in your bathrobe and bunny slippers.
Okay, bunny slippers are optional...

Thanks, Diane. I think the bunny slippers went to Goodwill awhile back. But it should be fun.

You probably know to get a bunch of blogs ready ahead of time and figure out where all your jpegs and links are, so you don't get bombarded all at once.

Have a fun tour!
