Two Great Book Tours

I’m delighted you stopped by today, especially since I’ve been AWOL this month (more on that in another post). Today I want to tell you about two great virtual book tours that I have the honor of organizing for two amazing authors through MC Book Tours.

The first tour is for author Rhiannon Gelston’s new release, LARK AND THE LOON. This tour is currently under way with a twist. You see the tour began Feb. 22nd and will continue through March 5th. But then, it will begin again April 19th and go through April 30th.

If you haven’t already signed up to be a host for this tour (this week or the next go around), I encourage you to do so. A huge thanks to those of you who have already signed up (some posting last week and this week). Post will consist of reviews, guest posts, interviews, spotlights, top 10 lists, and excerpts. There will also be a tour-wide giveaway with awesome prizes provided by the author. Review copies are available in eBook (International) and print (the U.S. only) formats. In addition, there will be a HTML post for your convenience. You can sign up HERE.

Here’s a brief synopsis of the book:

Lark and the Loon follows the adventures of a tentative boy named Lark, as he is catapulted out of all that he knows, into a courageous journey beyond his wildest imagination. 
 
Upon receiving a special gift from his Gramps, Lark embarks on a reflective journey of self-discovery as the innovative story weaves the true-life memoir of his mother (the author) in with a fantastical journey. With some special new-found friends, Lark travels back and forth from a symbolic tree to his mother’s true memories of life and death moments, and simple moments, found everywhere from wild Africa to their very own living room. Lark and his friends must ascend this tree and gain the important life lessons offered along the way if they ever hope to find their way out. Within this journey, Lark finds these lessons, and ultimately himself, in the space between imagination and truth in this wild tale.  
 
The story explores friendships, philosophies, and everyday challenges and joys, both from a child's perspective and from a parent's perspective. This memoir with a twist results in a coming-of-age story that ultimately leads to a new understanding of self, others, and the world that surrounds us.

The second tour is for author Nicole Souza’s new release, SINS OF OUR MOTHERS. Her tour will run April 5th through April 30th. Thanks to those who have already signed up and once again I encourage the rest of you to join and be a part of the tour.

Posts will consist of reviews, guest posts, interviews, spotlights, top 10 lists, and excerpts. There will also be a tour-wide giveaway with awesome prizes provided by the author. Review copies are available in eBook (International) and print (the U.S. only) formats. Here again an HTML post will also be provided. You can sign up HERE.

Here's a brief synopsis of the book:

It has been fifteen hundred years since the solar flare devastation of the Global Catastrophe. Due to the radioactivity in the harvesting fields, society dismisses its defective children as nothing more than flawed products of the malfunctioned seeds in the field.

But Lyratelle, a hyper-observant musical prodigy, believes these “defects” are intelligent, particularly her own sibling, the youngest child of her impervious mother. Abandoning her dream career, Lyratelle climbs the bureaucratic ladder to run the Defect Research Center, where she can safeguard the child.

With an underground team of women who share her uncertainties, Lyratelle unearths the Old History truth that womankind’s survival actually hinges on the existence of these defects.

When General Sarah Love, the city’s most powerful advocate against the defects, detects Lyratelle’s sympathy toward the creatures, she threatens the life of Lyratelle’s sibling.

Now Lyratelle’s desperate attempt to save this child endangers everyone she loves—her team, her family, even the existence of the defects themselves.

I hope you will consider joining one or both of these fun tours. If you have any questions about either tour, please let me know in the comments or by email. You can also sign up for the tours by leaving your email in the comments or sending an email to me at mcbooktours@gmail.com.

I’m delighted to be helping these two great authors promote their fascinating stories. I will have more on Rhiannon’s book during her second tour and also more on Nicole’s book during her tour.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. What are your thoughts on virtual book tours?

    1. Alex, both are intriguing books. As for being WOL it should have been AWOL (away without leaving a message in the case of blogging). LOL

  7. I like the ideas behind both of these books. February was a...lets just say a month of WTF just happened. So, I totally understand about being AWOL! I hope things are smoothing out for you and you're doing well.
