Blog Tours are among my favorite things about launching a book, because it's an opportunity to share BONUS goodies you won't find anywhere else. So hop in and let's head out on the THE SAILOR CIPHER BLOG TOUR for the inside scoop on the new series.


Here we go ...

 

  • First stop is this DELETED SCENE from THE SAILOR CIPHER at the Pragmatic Mom.

  • Our next destination is Good Reads with Ronna for a BOOK EXCERPT.

  • You'll definitely want to catch my exclusive INTERVIEW WITH SAILOR, the main character in the new series, at Reading Middle Grade.

  • Time to get personal! Learn how I discovered and followed MY PASSION (and how you can, too) at YA Book Central.

  • Finally, get to know Khadijah Khatib, the talented artist who brings the explorers to life on the page, at Imagination Soup.

 

I hope you had a great ride. Thanks for coming along and a big shout out to all of the wonderful bloggers who hosted me!



Come join me to celebrate the release of the first book in the second Explorer Academy series: THE SAILOR CIPHER! You'll hear some behind the scenes scoop on what inspired the storyline and get your copy of the book before it goes on sale to the general public.


Redmond Town Center in Redmond, WA


WHEN: Sunday, April 21st from 2:00 to 3:00 PM


Save your spot and RSVP for the book party HERE!

After spending all day in front of the computer writing, it's wonderful to be able to relax in the evenings and have a book read to me, especially when the narrator is as good as actor Ramon De Ocampo, who narrates all of the EXPLORER ACADEMY books!


If you're an audiobook lover, too, now through October 12, 2023, Audiobooks.com is running a 60% off special on the most recent EXPLORER ACADEMY title: THE FORBIDDEN ISLAND. It's just $8!
