Book Launch Blog Tour Day Eight

Day Eight of the Book Launch Blog Tour for the Queen of Swords finds us at two different blogs: Parajunkee.com and One More Chapter Reviews. Parajunkee did a review of the book a few days ago and gave it only 3.5 stars, despite liking the book a great deal. It is the lowest rating The Queen of Swords has received to date. Boo-hoo. You never know what's going to hit a reviewers hot buttons

Over at Amazon.com, you'll find 13 five-star reviews and one or two four-stars, so their opinion is definitely in the minority so far! Today they have an excerpt from the book, an exclusive interview with me (meaning their own questions as opposed to the boilerplate Q&A I sent out), and the Rafflecopter giveaway for three free downloads of the book. Check it out!

Today, you will find me and THE QUEEN OF SWORDS, a paranormal tale of undying love, featured on the following blogs:

I Heart Books (4-star review, spotlight & giveaway)
Just One More Romance (spotlight & giveaway)

Here's the blurb:

When Graham Logan, a Scottish earl turned vampire by a dark wizard’s curse, draws the Queen of Swords, he knows he’s about to meet the love of his life. For the third time. But surrendering his heart will mean risking her life…or making her what he is. Neither of which his morals will permit him to do. Graham, who believes he lost his soul to the curse, rages at God: Why give her back only to take her again?

Cat Fingal, the third incarnation of Graham’s twin flame, won’t let him escape so easily. As soon as they meet, she feels she knows him and begins having past-life flashbacks. A white witch, she casts a spell to summon him, wanting answers and to fill the void she’s felt all her life.

Graham has other problems, too. Like the seductress who wants him for herself and the dark wizard who cursed him and killed his beloved the first two times.

Will he find a way to save her this time around? Or will she save him?

Rave Review on Goodreads!

Wow, I am reeling (in a good way). One of the reviewers who asked me for an ARC of The Queen of Swords just posted a phenomenal five-star review on Goodreads. I stumbled upon it and, with racing pulse, started to read. Here's how it starts: "As sinfully seductive as chocolate The Queen of Swords is a tempting tale of undying love and dark desires . . . " That's definitely one for the posters: As sinfully seductive as chocolate. Holy cow. Does it get better than that? I swear, I have goosebumps as I type this. If you care to read the whole thing (it gets even better) here's the link. This is the fifth five-star review the book's received so far.
