Blog Tour Winner!

As you know if you've been keeping up with me these past few weeks, Cassie's Grand Plan came out on 6 March. And to help get the word out there, I've been doing a blog tour, visiting all kinds of places and meeting and talking with all sorts of wonderful people. Along the way, there have been a few winners who've picked themselves up a signed copy of Cassie's Grand Plan. (Those autographs will be worth a fortune in years to come!) Here's who's already picked up a prize:

21/2 Romance Bandits - Brenda
22/2 LoveCats - Scarlet
22/2 SuperAuthors - Linda
2/3 Get Lost in a Story - Desere
6/3 Romance Book Haven - Jennifer
14/3 Writing Playground - Chey
18/3 LoveCats - Cassandra
20/3 Fresh Fiction - Mary
22/3 RomCon - Alisha
27/3 Lacey Devlin - Sarah
6/4 Cathryn Hein - Natalie
12/4 Rachael Johns - Gemma

In addition to these prizes, the tour offered a "grand prize" for anyone who followed me on all my locations and left a comment. I'm thrilled to announce that the winner of the grand prize, a $50 Amazon voucher, is:

Maria Mohan from Gaelikaa's Diary!!

Congratulations Maria!! Drop me an email (emmie @ emmiedark.com without the spaces) and I'll be in touch to arrange your prize.

Thank you to everyone who left a comment on the various posts I did, and special thanks to those people who "followed" the tour, leaving comments all over the place for me. Thank you so much! It's lovely to feel like the Emmie cheersquad is growing in numbers day by day.

Thank you also to Nas Dean who was the engine behind the tour, arranging dates, booking in slots and for always being so polite, even when I was running late, in chaos, and generally running around like a chook with its head cut off. Thank you Nas for all your help.

PS -- there's still a chance to win a $100 Amazon voucher in the Cassie Photo Bomb Comp. Entries close 30 April.

Cassie Goes Global

So it seems Cassie is really getting out there! I have proof myself having just seen my actual book in an actual store! Check it out: Cassie in the Las Vegas Walmart!!

Yes, a silly grin, but I can't help it!

I've also been thrilled to receive more entries from readers around the world. Here is Maria M in Lucknow in North India!! She tells me that the book isn't yet on sale on shelves in the country, but she ordered her copy online. Thanks for taking a chance on a newbie author, Maria!

Maria in India! I think from that secretive smile she must be reading the
scene where Cassie and Ronan are on the beach in Perth...!

Our second entry today comes from Louise R and she's sent us a glorious photo of Cassie on the Freycinet Peninsula in Tasmania.

Gorgeous scenery and gorgeous reader!

Here's one more submission -- this one is from me. Yesterday I had the enormous pleasure of driving from Lake Tahoe to Las Vegas through the Sierra Nevadas and down through Death Valley. It is seriously some of the most breathtaking scenery ever.

Nothing to see here -- just a mad author...

After passing through all the secret US bases and missile silos (some parts along that road are seriously a little creepy and had us recalling movies like Independence Day) we stopped on the side of the road to take some photos.

I'm spending the next few days in Las Vegas and then heading for parts as-yet-unknown. I'm sure there will be more opportunities for photos of my book in bizarre places though, so stay tuned!

While I'm off wandering the the world, Emmie's global blog tour of world domination continues unabated. Check out my author blog tour page which lists all the places I'm "appearing". Comments are always welcomed!

Going on tour with Cassie and Ronan

To launch Cassie's Grand Plan (available from this Tuesday, 6 March!!) I'm going on a blog tour. A blog tour, in case you were wondering, is a bit like a rock band tour, but instead of playing stadiums and staying up late drinking tequila with groupies, I visit other people's blogs and go to bed early with a nice cup of tea.

Sounds like fun, right?

The best thing about a blog tour is that there is another chance to win a prize!! That's right, not only do you have a chance to win a $100 Amazon voucher in my Cassie Photo Bomb Comp, you have a second chance to win another $50 Amazon voucher just by following along with my blog tour! The person who comments at each stop along the way is the winner (or a random selection if there is more than one of you).

The tour officially begins at the SuperRomance Authors blog on Monday 5 March. Then you can follow me here:

After that, if you're not completely sick of me, but are instead, addicted to my witty banter, and feel the need to continue the commenting habit you've developed, you can always come back and comment here, at my very own blog post. Which is where, incidentally, I'll be announcing the winner of the tour prize.

Now, groupies, get your typing fingers ready, your sparkling repartee sharpened, and -- most importantly -- your glasses on for those damned Captcha images that you have to complete in order to prove you're not a robot.
