Donna K. Weaver's "A Change of Plans" Blog Tour!


When twenty-five-year-old Lyn sets off on her cruise vacation, all she wants is to forget that her dead fiancé was a cheating scumbag. What she plans is a diversion uncomplicated by romance. What she gets is Braedon, an intriguing young surgeon. He's everything her fiancé wasn't, and against the backdrop of the ship's make-believe world, her emotions come alive.

Unaware of the sensitive waters he navigates, Braedon moves to take their relationship beyond friendship—on the very anniversary Lyn came on the cruise to forget. Lyn's painful memories are too powerful, and she runs off in a panic.

But it's hard to get away from someone when you're stuck on the same ship. Things are bad enough when the pair finds themselves on one of the cruise's snorkeling excursions. Then paradise turns to piracy when their party is kidnapped, and Lyn's fear of a fairy tale turns grim.



Genre: New Adult / Adult Contemporary Romance



About Donna K. Weaver:



Donna is a Navy brat who joined the Army and has lived in Asia and Europe.

Because she sailed the Pacific three times as a child, she loves cruising and wishes she could accrue enough vacation time to do more of it with her husband.

Donna and her husband have six children and eight grandchildren who live all over the world.
At fifty, Donna decided to study karate and earned her black belt in Shorei Kempo.

After recording city council minutes for twenty years, Donna decided to write something a little longer and with a lot more emotion--and kissing.


What people are saying about A CHANGE OF PLANS...

"A Change of Plans will keep readers up way too late in this fast-paced tale of love lost and found again." ~Melanie Jacobson, author of The List, Not My Type, Twitterpated, and Smart Move

"A Change of Plans is lots of romance sprinkled with pirates, shipwreck and adventure. Donna Weaver spins a tale that you will fall in love with, think about for days afterward, and then go back and read again. I laughed, I cried, and I couldn't put it down." ~Betsy Love author of Identity and Soulfire

"A captivating tale of love, grief, and hope that will tug at your heartstrings until the very end." ~Laura Josephson, author of the Rising series and Confessions from the Realm of the Underworld

"When someone says pirates and novel in the same sentence, I usually say, "Thanks, but no." Not in this case. Ms. Weaver brings a warm humor to her story of romance, travel and overcoming skeletons in one's past with her vivid characters and delightful scenes." ~Shaunna Gonzales, author of Dark Days of Promise

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 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! 


As a reminder, 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 5, I’ll be dropping by Donna Weaver’s Weaving a Tale or Two where I discuss voice and writing a first-person narrative from multiple points of view.  Hope Roberson will be posting answers to some interesting questions. And Melissa Maygrove will have an excerpt from The Mistaken.  I’m already biting my nails!

Great Comments Award


Happy New Year once again, my friends!  Since January 4th is the first Wednesday of the month and therefore saved for Alex Cavanaugh’s Insecure Writer’s Support Group, I thought I’d use the beginning of the week to pass along an award Alex gave me his blog last December 5th

It’s the Great Comments Award, given to those who drop by and comment most frequently.  Now it’s my duty to pass along this award to some of my most dedicated follower-commenters.

This was a very difficult list to whittle down as I have a great many loyal commenters, but these are the folks whose names always pop up in my comments.  Of course, Alex is included on this list, but I didn’t want to bug him since he’s already received it.    So here goes:

1.                    Lisa Regan
2.                    Al Penwasser at PenwasserPlace
3.                    Jeff O’Handley – The Doubting Writer
4.                    Joylene Nowell Butler – The Cluculz Writer
5.                    Julie Kemp Pick – The Empty Nest Insider
6.                    Carrie Butler at So You’re a Writer
7.                    Jennifer Hillier of the Serial Killer Files
8.                    LailaKnight from the Untroubled Kingdom of Laila Knight
9.                    Donna K.Weaver at Weaving a Tale or Two
10.                Peggy Eddleman – Will Write for Cookies
11.                Lynda R Young at W.I.P. It
12.                Eva Gallant at Wrestling with Retirement

I could go on and on and on…

Please check these folks out and join their armies, if you haven’t already, because they make great followers and write awesome posts. 

And come on back by on Wednesday for my Insecure Writer’s Support Group post.  For once, I won’t bitching!  Imagine that!
