In her comments section, I answered a question about one of the details in the book. Maybe you’ve wondered the same thing as Lynn did. You’ll have to drop by to read the answer!

I hope you’ll head over to Lynn’s Romance Enthusiasm and read her short but heartfelt review of Ace-High Flush. And, please tell your friends about the Journeys. There are so many of them to love!

Come on… you want to win, don’t you? Don’t forget to add your email address to your comment!

It’s such a delicious day for me that I’m sharing 2 (count ‘em, 2) posts today.

BTS (Book & Trailer Showcase) interviewed me a short time ago, and they’re featuring that interview today. Don’t miss it! I answered all kinds of nifty questions, including several about my characters and how they’re created, my motivations/inspirations, and my process. I might not be the most interesting person in the world (I leave that to folks who drink Dos Equis), but I can entertain you for a few minutes.

Come by Book & Trailer Showcase and get into my head. There’s room on the couch for us all.

“I enjoyed this story and it was hard to put down. The majority of the scenes read very quickly. In looking at my rating system definitions I couldn’t decide between a 4 or 5, so this is a very solid 4.5. I recommend you read this book. I will most definitely be reading the next book in this series.” ~ from SJMaylee.com.

That’s not the whole review, but I have to admit, I like this part best. Who wouldn’t? Thank you, S.J., for being so gracious and forthcoming with your opinion.

Liv’s Journey is a highly rated book by S.J. as well as many other reviewers. If you haven’t picked up your copy yet, you can find it at Blushing Books and Amazon in eBook formats.

As part of this tour, I’m giving away Blushing Books gift certificates. A $30 one to the Grand Prize winner and a $10 certificate will go to each of two Second Place winners. All you have to do is leave a comment with your email address at the hosting blog site on their post. Today that’s here at SJMaylee.com.

Thank you for joining me today and throughout this tour. Only two stops left, so be sure to comment with your email address at the host site to get entered in the drawing.

For this blog stop, I wrote an article called “Even Characters Listen to Music.” One of the things I do to make my characters come to life is to know them really well. I even know what music they like. I hope you’ll join me at this stop and see what I came up with.

Here’s where you go.

This is part of the giveaway festival associated with my blog tour. If you leave a comment at Redheads Review It Better, you’ll be entered in the giveaway to win a Blushing Books gift certificate.

Liv’s Journey, book 1 of the Journey Family series got 5 spiders today in a review at Close Encounters With the Night Kind. Nikki found the book “unusual and creative” as well as other really complimentary things. I hope you’ll stop over at Close Encounters With the Night Kind and let Nikki know you’re paying attention. Or leave a comment here — I’d like to know what you think, too!

If you leave a comment on Close Encounters With the Night Kind, you’ll be entered into a drawing with up to $30 in gift certificates. You know you want it.

Back to work on Bourbon & Branch Water…

Yes, another blog stop. I’m having fun. Are you? Today I’m at Rachel Firasek’s fun and feisty blog where I offered an article entitled, “When Penises Run Amok.” Yes, it’s salacious. I’ll bet you were hoping for that today.

Come by and leave a comment and you’ll be entered into a giveaway for a Blushing Books gift certificate. I’m giving away one $30 one to the Grand Prize winner and a $10 certificate each to two Second Place winners. The more stops you comment on through this tour, the more chances you have to win.

Get feisty with me!

Today, at For The Love of Reading, Niina reviewed Liv’s Journey and gave it 4-stars. She said some very nice things, and wrote that she really liked the characters, each for his/her own personality. What a pleasure to meet a reviewer who gets into the stuff that I wrestle with on a day-to-day basis.

Please head over to Niina’s place, For The Love of Reading, and read the whole review. Leave a comment there or here, if you like.

Thanks for following along!

I’d appreciate it if you’d tell all your friends about how The Strong, Silent Type was received. Maybe one or two of them will pick up a copy!

Here’s a link to the trailer, just in case you want to share.
