Blog Tour 2015 week two

I hope you’ve already visited the wonderful authors and bloggers who hosted me last week.

This week we have a host of visits to do, starting today with:

Mason Canyon at Thoughts in Progress (what a great blog title) who is interviewing me, and asking a lot of questions about the characters, and I reveal the relationship of Fred and George to other famous twins, among other things.
Rebecca Douglass, the Ninja Librarian, delves further into the characters and also the Realms, and the socio-technological changes that George’s inventions promote. If you’re a Princelings fan (and why else would you be reading this?) you will either want the sneaky clues I give for the future of the books, or you’ll want to avoid it for fear of spoilers!
I’m also visiting Kim Headlee today, who includes a review of Princelings of the East in the Maze of Twisty Passages.

On Wednesday there are another three friends who are hosting me: Renee at Mother Daughter Book Reviews is doing an excerpt. I know she’s already featured the first three books, so I don’t know what she’ll choose this week. Cheryl Carpinello was one of the first author interviews I did, and it will be nice to visit her again, with another excerpt. And Steve Lothian is squeezing me into his very busy schedule with a review of Mariusz’s (or Hugo’s) adventures in the Traveler in Black and White.

Thursday, 1st October sees me visit Theresa at Addicted to Reading, and Raychel at United Indie Book blog both for excerpts, and on Friday we go to see Paul Hewlett at Sher A Hart for another excerpt.

Saturday is another busy day, with an excerpt with the wonderful Noelle Granger at Sayling Away, another at Stephanie Lashbrooks Ramblings from SEKS blog, and visit with my friend and co-minion Mary Wallace, who is reviewing three books at her blog Homeless Chronicles in Tampa.

Then on Sunday I have a visit to Charline Ratcliff for an interview. Charline did a huge amount of research before her interview – the questions are very impressive, and I hope I’ve done them justice. They are quite revealing, I think! She also has some pictures of the real Fred, George, Victor and Hugo to feature.

There’s only one more day, but it’s a biggie, so I’ll do that next week! Don’t forget to enter the Giveaways on these blogs!
