Putting Together U.S. Blog Tour

Okay, so I really don't have a clue at what I'm doing or how a blog tour works. Think that'll stop me? Not a chance. In the next couple of weeks or so I hope to put together a list of blogs that will take me from New York State through every other state and back to New York again. New York and California get 2 stops just because it looked good on the map.
So why am I doint this? I want to make sure every state in the U.S. of A. knows about THE 3RD COVENANT and can have a chance to talk it up among themselves or post comments on this site. If that doesn't satisfy you then email me at sonburst@juno.com
Am I tryng to sell books, well sort of. You see THE 3RD COVENANT only gives you a taste of what's to come. My WIP is a follow up using some of the same principle characters and introducing some new ones. Please, this really isn't a series. I want to be able to write books about Nat Adams that can be enjoyed no matter what order you read them in. Plus I'd like to try writing some other things as well. I have an end time suspense novel in mind that is just awesome. So what I'm really trying to sell here is not THE 3RD COVENANT (although if you like mystery/suspense you really should at least check it out of your library), I'm promoting myself.
Here are some websites that I've put together (the first may need some work):
Fellowship of the Cross (with a decided bend towards outcasts)
Soar Like An Eagle Ministries (my home church)
From the Heart of David Brollier (okay, this is to sell the book)
Last Hope Detectives (from the imagination of a young boy comes a fresh way of talking about the Gospel and things of God.

Tangerine

Tangerine by Marilynn Griffith



This week, the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is posting about Tangerine (Revell, January 2007) by Marilynn Griffith (fellow CFBA member, blogger, writer, and mother of *GULP* seven!)

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Marilynn Griffith is wife to a deacon, mom to a tribe and proof that God gives second chances. Her novels include Made of Honor (Steeple Hill, Jan. 2006), Pink (Revell, Feb. 2006), Jade (Revell, June 2006), and If the Shoe Fits (Revell, 2007). Her other credits include Chicken Soup for the Christian Woman’s Soul, Cup of Comfort Devotionals and her Shades of Style series (Revell, 2006). She lives in Florida with her husband and children. To book speaking engagements or just say hello, email: marilynngriffith@gmail.com.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Tangerine is the third book in the Shades of Style Novels.

Fans of Pink and Jade will eat up Tangerine, the third book in the cutting-edge Shades of Style series. Jean Guerra, a designer at Garments of Praise design firm, doesn't like surprises. These days though, the unexpected meets her everywhere. Since Jean's return to the church a year ago, her God-encounters occur with increasing frequency, along with thoughts of her husband-the one she vowed to divorce and gave up on long ago. The one nobody at work knows about, not even her best friend, Lily, or her boss, Chenille. But when the designer assigned to work with Jean on a line of men's suits shows up, her heart flips. It's her husband, Nigel Salvador. Jean is finally rendered speechless. Can her bruised heart become whole enough to love again? Or will she remain in the trenches of loneliness forever?
