Winners of the Black Cow Blog Tour giveaway

It wasn't easy.  I had to troll through Facebook, Twitter, and every blog post comment, but I've now got 5 winners of the Black Cow Blog Tour giveaways.  The winners of a gift pack including autographed copies of Black Cow and Sleep Before Evening (with some fun extras like magnets and bookmarks) are:

Anne Dugand and Mayra Calvani (tied for the most comments, retweets and shares)

The three winners of electronic copies of Black Cow and Sleep Before Evening are: Nancy Carti Lepri, Margot Finke, and Heidi M Thomas.  Congratulations everyone!  I'll be in touch shortly to organise delivery of prizes.  Thanks for all your wonderful participation. If you missed any stops on the tour and would like to revisit it, just go here and have fun working through the many articles, interviews, readings, reviews, advice and more.  I know I had fun doing them. There will, of course be a few more stops, including a reading this Monday at A Live Book Reading, and a visit later in the month to Barry Eva's Across the Pond. 

Black Cow Book Blog Tour Day 14: Visit to Heidi M. Thomas

I'm out on the trail today, visiting Heidi M Thomas's blog for another interview.  Heidi asks me a range of questions including why I choose to work in different genres, my favourite authors (I fear I give a different answer to this question everytime I'm asked - I have so many 'favourites!), and of course, where to get hold of Black Cow (if you don't already know by now!).  Do please drop by and comment, retweet, pin, or share in some way for another entry in the big draw - we're not that far off the end now - phew!

Black Cow Blog Tour Day 5: Brummet's Conscious Blog

The Blog Tour is progressing nicely as I move around the world in some 30 days (without a plane ticket).  For today's stop, I'm in British Columbia, Canada at Brummet's Conscious (and conscientious too...) blog to talk about, among other things, what I wanted to be when I grew up, what makes for a good story, on the types of genres that appeal to me as a writer, how much of my own characteristics there are in my writing, my favourite authors, some surprises and lots more.  Please drop by and don't forget to comment, retweet, or share in some way or another to enter our blog tour comp.

Black Cow Blog Tour Day 3: New review by Terri Forehand

Today's blog spot is a new review by blogger Terri Forehand at Writing and other ways into the heart.  "This is a heartwarming story of the Archer family. The Archers have been living the high life, big corporate lives with money, fame, and everything a family needs. But there is something missing. Would you be able to leave corporate security with the paycheck and prestige attached if it meant you could gain the family connection back?"  Drop by Terri's blog for the rest of the review. 

Black Cow Blog Tour Day 2: New review and reading vid

Today is the 2nd day of my Black Cow Blog Tour. Drop by Write What Inspires You!, Donna McDine's blog, to read a lovely review written by Fellowship of Australian writer president, and author of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor Jan Mitchell, and to check out my reading of the opening pages of the book.  Don't forget to retweet (#blackcow), share, or comment to be entered into our great blog tour giveaway.
