Book Giveaway, Alex's Awesome Surprise, & the IWSG

Today is the first Wednesday of the month, time for

Alex J. Cavanaugh’s Insecure Writer’s Support Group

But first…the results for my blog tour book giveaway!

There were 76 entries total, way more than I anticipated.  My thanks to all for dropping by and commenting during my tour.  Your support means everything to me! 

All right then, I wrote down the names of every follower who commented, assigned each a number, then used Random.org to generate the winning numbers, starting first with the runner-ups.

Those five runner-up winners of an ebook copy of The Mistaken are:

#18      Samantha May

#52      Chris Fries

#48      Klahanie

#38      L. Diane Wolfe

#64      Emily R. King

And the grand prize winner of my last signed ARC of The Mistaken is:

#66      Julie Luek

Winners, please contact me at acadia1997@msn.com

so I can get your info and send out your prize.

One more thing before my brief IWSG post:

Did you happen to see Alex J. Cavanaugh’s post last Monday?  Alex is one of three published authors who “blurbed” for my book.  His name and quote appear on the very first page along with Jennifer Hillier, author of Creep and Freak and New York Times bestselling author, Kevin O’Brien.

Alex said, “That’s even more exciting than my name on the cover of my own books.”  I sent him a signed copy with a nice little note of thanks for both his blurb and for being the driving force behind my blog tour and helping me every step of the way.  I could not have done it without him!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, ALEX!!

Okay, so now that I’ve accomplished my goal and have published my debut novel, I find myself worrying more than I ever thought I would.  Sure, I told myself it really didn’t matter how well my book sold.  I just wanted to get it out there.  But yeah, it kinda doesn’t work that way, at least, not in my mind. 

I want people to read it.  And I want those who do to love it, or at least like it, even just a little bit.  But more than anything, I want readers to rate/review it on Amazon and Goodreads.  So now I have a whole new slew of things to worry about:  Is it selling, will they like it, and will they spread the word?  It’s really way too early in the game for me to be obsessing over these things.  It’s a marathon, not a sprint.  Still, it’s there.  *sigh*

But oooh, look!  I have 499 GFC followers!

Maybe I’ll do another ebook giveaway once I reach 500. 

  

Any suggestions on how to do that one?

Hit F2 for Recovery Mode

Just a very brief post today as I’m still recovering from my whirlwind 12-day blog tour.

This week, I’m reserving my strength for

Alex J. Cavanaugh’s Insecure Writer’s Support Group

on Wednesday.

 

At the end of my IWSG post, I will announce the

grand prize winner of my one and only ARC of The Mistaken,

plus the 5 runner-up ebook winners.

So please, come on back around on Wednesday and help a writer out

as she frets over a whole new set of insecurities.

THE MISTAKEN Blog Tour: Day Twelve - THE END!

HOORAY!  I made it to Day 12!  This is me kissing the ground.  Yes, yes!!!
I am TOTALLY burned out, man.  But before I go have a celebratory drink
-- or 5 --
I have 2 more blogs I need to stop by.
Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking,
"Look at your tour badge dates, dude!"
But I had some additions to accommodate,
wonderful friends who wanted to participate, so sue me!  

You can find me over at my new friend, Livia Peterson’s Leave It to Livia where I discuss the importance of building a platform if you want to get published.  Livia is an absolute doll!         

I'm also over at Angela Orlowski-Peart's.  She has an excerpt from The Mistaken and other juicy bits.  Angela and I met via Alex Cavanaugh's blog and found out we lived only a few miles apart.  Now I have a fellow writer I can meet for coffee!  How cool is that?!

Well, it’s been a busy two weeks, and I’m positive you’re all sick and tired of seeing me around, I know I am, but I’m not done quite yet.  As a follow-up, I’ll be posting again over at Arlee Bird’s Tossing It Out on November 19^th.  And on December 3^rd, I’ll be back over at Livia Peterson’s again for a guest post on my writing journey. 

Thank you all for hangin’ out with me during my first ever blog tour.

I'd like to especially thank those of you who came by every single day, or nearly so:   

Alex J. Cavanaugh      Livia Peterson      Carrie Butler      Joylene Nowell Butler     Jeff O'Handley    Michelle      Samantha May   &   Andrew Leon 

If you're not already, follow these people!  You will NOT regret it!

If you haven't already, go ahead and follow me, as well, then drop me a line, because every follower who comments here during my tour will be entered into a drawing for an
ARC of The Mistaken and a bookmark.

Plus, 5 runner-up winners will each receive an ebook copy.

Winners will be determined using Random.org and notified via email.   

And if you get around to reading my book, I’d love to hear what you think, good or bad.

Rate and/or review on Goodreads and Amazon.  See ya!

Okay, can I please go to sleep now?

THE MISTAKEN Blog Tour: Day Eleven

Happy Halloween!  It’s Day 11, and I’m so close to the end, I can taste it.

I’m feeling a little ragged around the edges.  Can you tell?

Today is another important guest post for me.  I’m over at my very good friend, Jennifer Hillier’s The Serial Killer Files where I’ve written about something Jenny and I know very well:  Villains!  Yummy stuff!  I first met Jenny when I won a signed copy of her debut novel, Creep.  When we discovered we lived near each other, we decided to meet for coffee, then lunch, then dinner and drinks, and we became fast friends.  Unfortunately for me, Jenny moved from Seattle back to Toronto last December, but we recently reunited in Cleveland for a fun-filled week at Bouchercon where I was able to get her to sign her second novel, Freak.  Now I have a matched pair!  Yippee!      

In case you forgot, every follower who comments here during my tour will be entered into a drawing for an ARC of The Mistaken and a bookmark.  Plus, 5 runner-up winners will each receive an ebook copy.  Winners will be determined using Random.org and notified via email.   

Tomorrow on Day 12, I’ll be over at Angela Orlowski-Peart’s new site where she’s hosting my synopsis, an excerpt, my bio, and a bunch of other things.  In addition, I’ll also be over at Livia Peterson’s Leave It to Livia where I discuss the importance of building a platform in publishing.

THE MISTAKEN Blog Tour: Day Ten

It’s Day 10, into the home stretch.  Yippee!
I sure hope you all are surviving Sandy in safety and good spirits.

Today is very special to me. I’m being interviewed by my very best friend in the whole world, fellow author and pub-sister, Lisa Regan.  I’ve posted about Lisa at least a dozen times, probably more.  We started as critique partners and became as close as sisters, best friends who email long letters to each other several times a week.  And that’s in addition to all the texting we do just about every day.  Most of you know by now that, although we’ve been best friends for two years, we only just met in person for the first time earlier this month at Bouchercon.  And while I’m grateful that we get to publish together and remain on this journey, side-by-side, more than anything, I’m so happy I met her, for not only has she made me a better writer, she’s enriched my life beyond my wildest dreams.  Don't miss Lisa's debut release, Finding Claire Fletcher coming from Sapphire Star Publishing on December 6th.

You can also find me over at Falling For Fiction today, where Hope Roberson asked me some questions and was kind enough to allow me a little shameless self-promotion.              

Who has impacted your writing life the most?

Remember, every follower who comments here during my tour will be entered into a drawing for an ARC of The Mistaken and a bookmark.  Plus, 5 runner-up winners will each receive an ebook copy.  Winners will be determined using Random.org and notified via email.

THE MISTAKEN Blog Tour: Day Nine

I made it to Day 9, three-quarters of the way through my big tour,

and time to splash a little water on my face.

Today’s guest post is over at Heather M. Gardner’s The Waiting is the Hardest Part.  Although Heather often posts lighthearted subject matter—Stormy, anyone?—I get a bit more serious.  You see, Heather beta-read my manuscript right before my book deal, when I was trying to decide whether or not to compromise on content just to get it published.  She did me a great service, and I will be forever grateful and in her debt simply because of her honesty.  Check it out and tell me what you think.

Would you ever consider compromising content to get published?       

As always, every follower who comments here during my tour will be entered into a drawing for an ARC of The Mistaken and a bookmark.  Plus, 5 runner-up winners will each receive an ebook copy.  Winners will be determined using Random.org and notified via email.   

Tomorrow on Day 10, my best friend, Lisa Regan, interviews me over at her joint. And Falling For Fiction gives The Mistaken some love.

THE MISTAKEN Blog Tour: Day Eight

It’s Day 8 and I’m getting my second wind, even on a Saturday.  Are you with me?   

Today, I have the pleasure of visiting Aimee Jodoin’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Woman for an interview.  When I finished revising the first draft of The Mistaken, I reached out for critique partners.  The first was not a good experience, but the second one was, for I found Aimee, and I see her every time I read through my novel, smiling when I remember each suggestion she made.  And they’re all still in there, each and every one.  I was so excited when we were reunited here on Blogger earlier this year.        

As you know, every follower who comments here during my tour will be entered into a drawing for an ARC of The Mistaken and a bookmark.  Plus, 5 runner-up winners will each receive an ebook copy.  Winners will be determined using Random.org and notified via email.   

Monday on Day 9, I’ll discuss a humbling experience over at Heather M. Gardner’s The Waiting is the Hardest Part.  Come see the important lesson Heather helped teach me.

THE MISTAKEN Blog Tour: Day Seven

Okay, on the down slope now.  One more week to go.  Whew!    

For Day 7, I got to stretch my literary wings a bit over at LG Smith’s Bards and Prophets.  My topic there:  killing off major characters in a novel.  Shakespeare wasn’t afraid to do it, and neither was I.  LG—or Luann, as I’ve come to know her—is one of my long-time followers.  She’s been coming back to visit for nearly the entire two years I’ve been here on Blogger.  And this lady is whip-smart, like fine-literature-smart, which is why it was a stretch for me to write a post reflecting on similarities with the Immortal Bard, William Shakespeare, someone Luann holds in the highest esteem.  I sure hope I lived up to her standards.            

I know you won’t forget, every follower who comments here during my tour will be entered into a drawing for an ARC of The Mistaken and a bookmark.  Plus, 5 runner-up winners will each receive an ebook copy.  Winners will be determined using Random.org and notified via email.   

For Day 8 tomorrow—yes, that's a Saturday—I’ll be over at Aimee Jodoin’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Woman for yet another interview.  I hope you’re not getting too tired of me.

Are you as well read in classic literature as the lovely LG Smith?  

THE MISTAKEN Blog Tour: Day Six

Oh boy, Day 6, the halfway mark of my tour.  I’m trying really hard to pace myself, but I’m super excited.  Today, I have someone special hosting me over on his blog—Matthew MacNish at The Quintessentially Questionable Query Experiment.  (Don't you love that pic of Matt?  He looks too cool!)      

For my guest post, Matt asked me to write about organized crime since it’s up front and center in my novel.  Matthew operates an awesome blog where he critiques agent queries, and man, is he madly successful at this difficult task.  In fact, Matthew helped me with my final query, the one that got me a request and ultimately a book deal with my publisher.  He’s gentle and kind, but he’ll thoroughly pick apart your query and tell you where it works, where it doesn’t, and why.  If you think you’re ready to query for an agent, do not proceed without first submitting it to Matt at The QQQE.  Seriously.  Don’t.  He’s that good.         

I hope you all know by now, every follower who comments here during my tour will be entered into a drawing for an ARC of The Mistaken and a bookmark.  Plus, 5 runner-up winners will each receive an ebook copy.  Winners will be determined using Random.org and notified via email.   

Tomorrow for Day 7, I visit LG Smith’s Bards and Prophets where I discuss killing off major characters.  Sounds like fun, right?  Oh yeah!

THE MISTAKEN Blog Tour: Day Five

It’s Day 5 and I’m all warmed up and ready to go!  Today, I’ve got three stops lined up.

First, another one of my original friends here in Bloggyland,

Donna Weaver over at Weaving a Tale or Two.  

Donna allowed me to write a guest post on voice and writing a first-person narrative from multiple points of view.  Not an easy essay, let me tell you.  I love Donna because she never fails to drop by with a kind word of encouragement.  And did you know, she just landed and agent!  Yes, she is a talented lady.

Melissa Maygrove is also playing generous host to me today.  She wanted all the juicy stuff on my book:  a blurb, an excerpt, and even a little bio on me.  I may not have known Melissa as long as some of my other friends, but she has proven herself to be so gracious and helpful, a true friend!

New to the tour, Hope Roberson.  Besides being drop dead gorgeous, she's also original and asked me a whole round of questions you haven't heard anywhere else. I hope you stop by and say hi. 

If you’re interested, every follower who comments here during my tour will be entered into a drawing for an ARC of The Mistaken and a bookmark.  Plus, 5 runner-up winners will each receive an ebook copy.  Winners will be determined using Random.org and notified via email.   

Tomorrow for Day 6, the magnificent Matthew MacNish over at The QQQE.  

Do you know Donna, Melissa, or Hope?  If not, what are you waiting for?  They're awesome!

THE MISTAKEN Blog Tour: Day Four

It’s Day 4.  Still with me?  You all have been amazing so far.  Thank you!

Today, I’m being interviewed by the lovely Julie Musil over at her place.  Isn't she gorgeous?  If you’ve spent any time here then you probably already know I consider Julie to be a mentor.  She is positively brilliant.  Her blog is packed full of interesting and useful information on the craft of writing.  I’m always learning something new from her.  I never ever miss Julie’s posts.  And neither should you!

So what do you guys think of my tour so far?  Stay with me.  I have some interesting things coming up real soon.  

THE MISTAKEN Blog Tour: Day Three

Wow, the love is simply amazing here in the blogosphere!  I had way better than expected sales as a result of Alex Cavanaugh's generous post last Friday, as well as Arlee Bird's at Tossing It Out, and now, some great reviews have trickled in, and after only a few days, too! Thank you to all those who stopped by and to those who actually bought my book.  I am forever grateful.  Man, I really know how to pick awesome friends!

Today, I’m letting my protagonist, Tyler Karras, take the reins over at Carrie Butler’s blog, So You Think You’re a Writer, where he will try to work things out during an interview with his therapist.  Carrie is not only a much-loved critique partner, she’s also my pub sister at Sapphire Star Publishing.  More than that, of her own accord, she designed my blog header, my blog tour badge, and my book trailer.  Besides being altruistic and a talented writer, Carrie has mad, mad design skillz.  May I just say how much I love this young woman?  I do, I do!!

I also stopped by Jeff O’Handley’s The Doubting Writer today.  Jeff is also a critique partner, and a talented one, at that, but more than anything, he writes some of the most beautiful prose I’ve ever read.  Ever!  And because of his talent, he pulled more out of me as a writer than I ever believed possible.  Every writer should have a CP like Jeff.  So if by chance you want to know a little more about me, drop by his place. 

Remember, every follower who comments here during my tour will be entered into a drawing for an ARC of The Mistaken and a bookmark.  Plus, 5 runner-up winners will each receive an ebook copy.  Winners will be determined using Random.org and notified via email.   

Day 4 tomorrow at Julie Musil’s, an interview about process and publication.  Drop by and say hi.  She’s a real gem!
