There were thrills. Laughter. Tears… A roller coaster of a… All right, bit carried away there. Point is my blog tour is over. Finito. At an end. Thank you to Marieanne and all the hosts – you were blinding! So here are the highlights of last week.
Readeropolis: ‘I see a novel happening in my mind; it’s like I’m translating it down. Tarantino has said he does the same. Apart from he probably said it in a cooler, more American way.’
Laurie’s Paranormal Thoughts and Reviews: ‘I know the end of a novel before I’ve even written the first line. It’s like being a chauffeur of a Limousine full of VIPs (the readers) – I don’t set off on a journey without first checking the car’s not going to breakdown and I know the route!’
And right now? Blood Dragons is featured in the Thanksgiving Book Fair. It ends tomorrow. So have a nose through the books on sale and grab yourself some bargains.
Talking of sales… This is the last week of Blood Dragons’and Blood Shackles’ sale. They’re at 0.99 until 30th November. Then they’ll be returning to original price.

It’s a dangerous game to love your slave. When your whole species is enslaved – and it’s the humans who are acting like the monsters – how far would you go to free your family?
In another blinding week of touring, here’s Five of the Best Guest Posts and Interviews:
Inside the Mind of a Slave: This Is No Bridget Jones’s Diary – Long and Short Reviews. If you knew your private thoughts were being read by your captor, how would it change what you wrote? And who can face the flayed truth without flinching?
If You Want To Cook and Eat Like a Vampire – Books Chatter. Blood Lifers nosh human food. Light? He loves Italian. The pics are so gorgeous, you’ll be licking the screen.
My Scariest Moment, Best Ever Fan Letter and Sneak Peek at Blood Renegades – My interview with The Pen Muse.
Creating an Anti-hero – Fabulous and Brunette. Dark, complex, struggling on an individual journey of redemption..? You may have an anti-hero on your hands.
Oi, hang on a tick, you’ve missed one…
And that would be An Interview With a Vampire…and His Name Is Light – Archaeolibrarian. Light frees himself from my shackles (couldn’t resist), and gets his own interview. Only seems fair…
The Lampshade Reader: Vampires, Romance and Rebels – Or How to Train a Slave. To read it click here. Some fantastic comments and chat with readers.
Ever wondered what Light’s favourite drink, music or phrase was? Or what his human name once was? Find the answers in Blood Lifer Character Profiles on Andra’s Unabridged blog here.
Light’s a Londoner. Born a Victorian. But drawn to the 1960’s, when he felt most free. Want to know how to talk like him? Peepers, Starkers and Bint – The One Minute Guide To Talking Like Light. See The Voluptuous Book Diva here.
Writers. Myth goes we’re a solitary bunch. Hermit-like hunched over our manuscripts. Emerging only at book launches. As Light would say, ‘Bollocks‘. Without a reader, books are merely words on a page. There’s no emotion. No connection. And no point.
Tomorrow my month long book tour kicks off. It’s a way for me – here in Oxford, England – to connect with readers all around the world. To chat, discuss and hand out exclusive sneak peeks. Blood Shackles is released on 1st November. To pre-order it now click here.
There’s going to be giveaways (the chance to win $50 Amazon card), reviews, interviews and excerpts.
Then there’s the guest blogs… Here’s a little taste: ‘The Soundtrack of My Blood Life,’ ‘Inside the Mind of a Slave,’ and ‘How to Cook Like a Vampire.’ Intrigued? Come on, that last one..? Diamond, seriously.
