IS MY a TO z THEME!
I'm taking places, characters, scenes, and
other interesting items about my book and I give a brief explanation with a very
short snippet from the book.
Enjoy!
Light and love seem a fleeting moment in the
frozen north of Alaska. Despite his personal experiences with evil, Detective
Steven Quaid is determined to hold on to that light amidst the darkness.
Accused of murdering his fiancée, Detective Quaid flees incarceration to track
down the culprit. He might survive the wilderness, and a savage bear attack,
but another man's insidious obsession could finally prove more powerful than
this dedicated detective.

DeleteThat's a very smart theme for next month.

Thanks Sarah, love your name. My MC is named Sarah!
DeleteI did something similar last year - good plan.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex, it was fun putting it all together too.
DeleteMurder and Obsession - pretty intense and a complete contrast to my theme of a short story romance in 26 mini bites! See you again.
ReplyDeleteHi Rosa, the obsession is all about romance, well, of the sick kind! But there is romance in the story, honest.
DeleteLooking forward to your posts! Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nibhz, love your theme, a new story everyday!
DeleteA great way to introduce and promo your book indeed.
ReplyDeleteHi Pat, they say the book blog tour is dead. Gosh, what can a person do? I'd write across the sky but who would look up, they all have their faces in their phone! :)
DeleteGood luck with the challenge and I hope the new book launch is going well. Sounds like a great book.

Notes Along the Way
Thanks, Mary, it only made sense at the time.
DeleteThis is a great idea, Yolanda!
ReplyDeleteMy theme is Books & Book Reviews.
Since I'm showcasing more than one author per post, I can highlight the cover as part of my M-post!
I'll shoot you an e-mail!
How wonderful Michelle, thank you!
DeleteInsight into your book and characters would be fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope so Chrys, they were fun to write.
DeleteWhat a treat for April - can't wait to read your posts.

P.S. - Thanks for stopping over at Life In Dogs ... The crickets have been kept at bay ;)
Hi Guilie,
DeleteNo problem, I love your idea! And really crickets aren't bad, just noisy sometimes. :)
Oooh, I'm all over your theme! Can't wait! I'll be promoting a short story this go around, with my artist & musician friends. May even have an open bar *wink*
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam, I can't wait to see your story come to life!
DeleteSounds like a great book and a great theme. I'm a former Alaskan myself. I'm not doing direct posts about my books this time, but I did pretty well with that last year, when AtoZ coincided with my debut novel's release. Best of luck to you! May it bring you new readers.
ReplyDeleteI saw that, Samantha, Nome. So cool, and a teacher too! My hero!
DeleteGreat idea and I do look forward to visiting your blog and finding out more about your book.
ReplyDeleteAll the best.
Shalom,
Pat
Thanks Pat, I look forward to hearing what you think. You're an amazing writer!
DeleteI'll piggyback onto the AtoZ, but I couldn't get everything together to do a blog tour while doing it this year. Too much on my plate, but I love your idea!. I'll be around in April
ReplyDeleteIt's a madhouse, Lee, truly, but we'll see how it ends. :)
DeleteWow! Great theme. A whole month of your book. I would have never thought of that.
ReplyDeleteBrett at Transformed Nonconformist
Thanks Brett,

ReplyDeleteThanks, Greenpatches, it is an obvious match. :)

ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie, I hope you get to read it soon!
DeleteI do love a good murder mystery! And I think using the A-Z Challenge as a blog tour avenue is a great idea! What better way to connect with people, get your work out there, AND have fun doing it!! Best of luck to you and congrats on the book!! I'm blogging a Botanical Miscellany this year. There's some poisonous plants on my list that could definitely fall into the "murder" category :) Enjoy the Challenge! ~ Jen
ReplyDeleteI thought so too, Jen, and it's proving to be ideal!
DeleteI love your theme Yolanda!!!! Who doesn't love a great mystery?!!!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? Hi, Cathrina!
DeleteI've seen a few writers using this challenge as a way to showcase their books. I think it's a fab idea and I like that you are running a giveaway as part of it too. Good luck :)
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Hi, Random, it is getting the exposure I was looking for! Yay!
