And what about Perilous? Here's the official blurb:
Jaci Rivera has plans for her sophomore year: go to regionals with the track team, make the honor roll, and eat too much pizza with her best friends, Callie and Sara. Her biggest concern is Amanda, the pushy girl who moved in a few months ago.
What she doesn't plan for is catching a robber red-handed, or being kidnapped. The desperate thief drags her and her friends 2,000 miles across the Canadian border. They escape from his lair, only to find that he has spies and agents watching their path home, waiting to intercept them and take them back.
Then Jaci finds something out about her family. Something which irrevocably connects her to their kidnapper, and makes her question their chances of escape.
It sounds pretty exciting. Unfortunately, I have still not had a chance to read it, but I plan to soon. When I do read it, I will do an actual review on Tossing It Out. In the meantime, in addition to reviews on Amazon and elsewhere, you can check out the tour links that I have provided below and find several very fine reviews from some other bloggers whom you may enjoy checking out.
But what about the contest?
Yes, there is a contest that Tamara is having and it's well worth putting your name in the blog hat.
She's going to be running two contests during the tour: one book giveaway
and one Kindle giveaway.
Book giveaway: The winner of this contest will be randomly chosen. Every
person who comments on any post during the blog tour will be entered into
a random drawing for a book. Which Tamara can autograph, if they want. The
contest begins on Nov. 16 and ends on Dec. 15.Kindle giveaway: This contest is point-based and begins Oct. 15 and ends
Dec. 15. Whoever has the most points wins the Kindle. There will only be
one Kindle given away. Here are the points:
1 point: blog comment (can comment on all the blogs, multiple times, on
the tour)
1 point: follow Tamara's blog (http://tamarahartheiner.blogspot.com/)
1 point: retweet
2 points: blog about the blog tour
5 points: purchase the book (ebook or paperback, must email Tamara the
confirmation email) if they actually buy the book in the store they can
mail her a copy of the receipt.
Have them add up all their points as well as their proof (links, etc) and
email it to Tamara at the end of the blog tour (tamara at tamarahartheiner dot
com)
Good news! You can earn an infinite number of points!
Now you may ask, "Where can I get a copy of Perilous?
Here is the ebook link: www.amazon.com/dp/B0045JLQCI
You can now also buy the actual book from Amazon. or Barnes and Noble or from Tamara's site.
And don't forget to visit Tamara's blog and let her know you saw it right here on Tossing It Out.

And one more thing! How about a brief book trailer to get a taste of what you're in for when you read Perilous.
Good luck Tamara Hart Heiner and Perilous!
.
Thanks for a most interesting and informative post.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck to Tamara in the selling of her book.
Yvonne,
I think I've seen Tamara over at our dear Mason Cannon's place earlier this year. She looks lovely. Writers tend to have horrible, and sometimes even scary, pictures which they use for their bookjackets and their marketing, but Tamara obviously has a nice one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention. It was a great book, and Tamara is way too sweet.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
I've seen this author and book out there before while cruising around Blogsville. Sounds like an exciting story. Best wishes for Tamara's success. And a very through blog today Lee!
ReplyDeleteI can't remember which blog I was on that had a review of her book, but I have it on my to read list. Thanks for the reminder! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat good luck to Tamara!
ReplyDeleteLee! You're awesome! Thanks so much for the shout out!
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome post, Lee! Thanks for all the links as well as getting a peek at the book trailer. Good luck to Tamara!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great and I have heard of her! Congrats
ReplyDeleteTamara, I will be by to check out your blog~

OK, I’m hooked – I have to know what happens. I’ve added “Perilous” to my want to read list.
ReplyDeleteThe book trailer is pretty cool. I have this book on my to-read list.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful way for writers to get their work out there. As a writer myself, I can appreciate how difficult it is to market your books in today's economic climate.
ReplyDeleteJust also stopping by to say thanks for visiting my blog and for leaving a comment.
Jane -- Let us know how you liked the book after you've read it.
ReplyDeleteRachelle-- Look forward to hearing your thoughts about Perilous as well.
Anne -- Glad to have found your blog. Writers need to take every opportunity they can find to promote their work. The blog tours are a great economical way to spread the word.
