Organising this blog tour took a lot of work but it has been fun and interesting to boot. Many thanks to my generous hosts and for the ideas, questions and interesting topics to discuss.
The blog tour starts tomorrow 16 December, 2015.
Why am I doing a blog tour?
My dark fantasy novel, Dragon Wine Book 1: Shatterwing, is free on promotion during December and into January. Doing a blog tour is supposed to help me get the word out and I thought I’d also have a give away of the print version for people who leave comments. Leaving a comment on this post lets you enter the giveaway too.
Also, Dragon Wine Book 2: Skywatcher is available for purchase.
Dragon Wine Series
Here is a link to the Momentum Books website where you can get your free copy. It has links to all the retailers there too.
This is a schedule of the blog tour and the topics/interviews etc. I’ll be popping back to leave the links as they come up.

Also, Scott Robinson has included an article by me on writing in his newsletter.
Because I wasn’t able to undo the cut and paste on that list, I don’t have room to put the topics so I’m going to give you a few hints and you’ll have to look for the ones that interest you. Some maybe obvious! Like The Dweeb and the Dweebette interview. I also have articles on writing romance in speculative fiction, research habits, an in depth interview about Dragon Wine (totally cool), I have interviews about what I gave up to write, my darkest hour, world building, about my choices in writing versus a well-paying career and my dark past. I also did an article on what makes dark fantasy dark, five things I’d tell the younger writer me, work life balance and how reading helps your writing. Phew! Now wonder I haven’t been near my manuscript since 30 November!
I hope you will check out some of the posts. If you don’t have a copy of Shatterwing and you like dark, nasty fantasy then please help yourself to a free copy. If you liked Shatterwing then please spread the word! Leave a comment if you want to be in the draw for a print version of the book.
And there is more the story.
And now my not so official photo!
