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.

Brilliant way to introduce your book. I will be visiting. Happy A-Zing, Yolanda!
Thanks Nila, it just made sense - Alaska and the latest book - my favorite subjects! :)
That's a very smart theme for next month.
Love it! Looking forward to reading more :) Best regards, http://thetrucktraveller.com/trucking-atozchallenge
Thanks Diane, it'll be fun. We're doing the same for Parallels!
Thanks Zeljka, I love your idea too! Trucking - so exciting!
Murder, romance, mysteries... well, that's my kind of theme! Looking forward to an exciting April with you, Yolanda :)

I did something similar last year - good plan.
Thanks Alex, it was fun putting it all together too.
Thanks Sarah, love your name. My MC is named Sarah!
Murder and Obsession - pretty intense and a complete contrast to my theme of a short story romance in 26 mini bites! See you again.
Looking forward to your posts! Good Luck!
Hi Rosa, the obsession is all about romance, well, of the sick kind! But there is romance in the story, honest.
Thanks Nibhz, love your theme, a new story everyday!
A great way to introduce and promo your book indeed.
Good luck with the challenge and I hope the new book launch is going well. Sounds like a great book.

Hi 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! :)
Thanks Tasha, it's going, numbers haven't hit the top 100 Yet! :)
I will be watching to see how this works! Best of luck with it!
I'm looking forward to your posts:)
Good luck with using the challenge to go with your book launch.

Notes Along the Way
Thanks Hart! I've seen a few posts with the same idea.
Thanks Sandra, they were fun to write. I hope the blogging world enjoys them.
Thanks, Mary, it only made sense at the time.
This is a great idea, Yolanda!
My 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!
Insight into your book and characters would be fun. :)
What a treat for April - can't wait to read your posts.
Enjoy doing it! I had fun when I used the challenge to introduce my books.

My mom just moved to Alaska a year ago. It's an interesting place for sure.
Great theme. I like that idea.
LOVE this, Yolanda! Great idea, too. I'm looking forward to it!

P.S. - Thanks for stopping over at Life In Dogs ... The crickets have been kept at bay ;)
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*
Sounds 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.
I hope so Chrys, they were fun to write.
Thanks Deborah, I'll be by to visit your site too!
Great idea and I do look forward to visiting your blog and finding out more about your book.
All the best.
Shalom,
Pat
I'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
Wow! Great theme. A whole month of your book. I would have never thought of that.

Thanks Bish, I've seen a few others doing the same thing. I hope it's well received.
Thanks Elizabeth, I saw the story of your Mom. I think her journey is amazing.
Hi Guilie,
No problem, I love your idea! And really crickets aren't bad, just noisy sometimes. :)
Thanks Sam, I can't wait to see your story come to life!
I saw that, Samantha, Nome. So cool, and a teacher too! My hero!
Thanks Pat, I look forward to hearing what you think. You're an amazing writer!
Thanks Brett,
I hope I can hold everyone's attention for that long. Alaska is a big state and my story, a long one! :)
