Today is the last stop on the Purpose promo tour – yes, I hear the universal sigh of relief with that announcement.  I’ll be chatting on Dreamspinner Press’s Facebook page from 4:00-7:00 p.m EDT.  Here’s the link: https://www.facebook.com/events/464140513676922/ If you get a chance please come. I’ll be giving away an eBook Copy of Purpose – or if you’ve bought it already, you can have a copy of (Un)Masked or The Last Grand Master – if you own all three – we’ll talk.  To enter, just ask me a question about the new release. Hope to see you there.      

Nice review for the new book.

Purpose was released today by Dreamspinner Press: Some things in connection with the release. First, you can buy the book on Dreamspinner Press,  ARe, B & N and Amazon. Second, I posted the first of three Pre-quels yesterday on my site – Goodbye.  There are two more coming out Monday on Rick R. Reeds Blog and the last on Joyful Jay’s Site.  Check them out either before or after you read the book. They give a sense of some  of the book – mostly Will’s background.  They don’t touch on Ryan’s so maybe those are shorts I can do later on. Next, I’m doing Release Day guest posts at the Purple Rose Tea House talking about Happy Ever After/Happy for Now vs. Bittersweet endings. Stop by …

The Beginning of Purpose Even though David never appears in the book – he died forty years before the book begins – he is an essential part of the book.  David was Will’s first love who was killed right about the time the Purpose chose Will as Its host. Losing the man he loves shapes Will – as it would any of us I suppose – but not as much as being host to a spirit of vengeance.  In Goodbye, I show a bit of the back-story of Will’s feelings for David. It takes place on the one-year anniversary of David’s death. The other purpose, if you will, is to show the beginning of the ‘death’ of Will. Turning into …

Lily makes guest interviews a lot more fun than I do – all her back and forth to give it a more personal feel – that I wanted to post this [with her permission] on my site. Now if only I could interview others this well – people might want to come visit more. 😉

Chris is not only a friend, but a very good author and story teller. If you’re not familiar with her work, here’s a great place to start. -AQG

Sid is spreading the word about a great cause – stop by and see what it’s about.

I don’t think I can honestly say I’ve been quiet about the release of Purpose. I mean, I’ve been on three blogs, had them reposted on Facebook and tweeted them. I even remembered folks  a couple times when one was ending and a new one began.  To be honest, with all the ‘views’ I’ve gotten, I expected more people would sign up for something free. And it’s not just an eBook. I’m trying to give away a $15.00 gift certificate to Dreamspinner Press. That way if you already bought the book or if you don’t want the book, you can just take the money and buy whatever you like in Dreamspinner’s store. And you can enter multiple times. Each blog stop …
