Prizes! Fun! Books! Spiffington!

Things are hopping around here–getting ready for the three-week tour that starts Monday. I’ve been packing, making hotel arrangements, digging out my passport…

Okay not really. It’s a BLOG tour. The best kind, really. I can tour in my pajamas, sitting at home and visiting with good folks all over the place. Fifteen intrepid book bloggers have agreed to host me and my little book during the month of February. Some of them will interview me, some of them are letting me write guest posts on various subjects: the perfect Barking Mad playlist, what it’s like writing in a different time period, what’s up next for Reggie and Pelham. And a couple of brave souls even undertook an interview with Reginald Spiffington himself. He was kind.

AND there’s prizes. Anyone who shows up at a stop on the tour and comments on the post will be entered into a drawing for a GRAND PRIZE SPIFFINGTON EXTRAVAGANZA. The prize package includes a signed copy of Barking Mad, four character cards signed by me and Ali LaRock, a hand letterpressed poster of a quote from the novel made by Firecracker Press, a code for a free download of the Barking Mad audiobook, and a signed copy of the Cornerboys DVD. It’s a good-looking set of prizes.

Audiobook not pictured, but it sounds as good as this stuff looks…

I hope to see every single one of you somewhere out on the tour. This is a great group of bloggers, and if you like books you should really get to know them and spend some time on their sites. Good reviews, lots of giveaways and author features, and some geuninely good folks who love books. And, I think there’ll be some surprise giveaways at random stops on the tour as well. You’ll have to watch for that.

All the tour dates, along with links to each one of the blogs, can be found on the Calendar page. Hop on over and see what’s up.

See you next week!
