My Debut on Great Indie Authors, by Mae Clair

Interesting thing about writing—you get to wear multiple hats. As an example, I just released a romantic suspense/mystery novel, MYTH AND MAGIC, through my publisher, Lyrical Press. But I’ve dabbled in indie publishing, too, and have two books to my name under that banner.

Book open on it's spine with rifled pagesToday, I am sharing one of them at Great Indie Authors, a fabulous blog I’ve recently discovered. The owner, Kevin Cooper, popped in on my blog one day to say hello and a whole new world opened up. Kev does a fabulous job promoting indie and small press authors. He’s also an author in his own right, a musician, and a cat lover (hello, Aragorn and Ricco!). Seriously, how can you go wrong with that? 😀

Today, Kev has given me the spotlight on his “Author Interview” feature. I’m so happy to be there and invite you over to see what we’re chatting about. Also to discover this super-supportive and friendly blogger for yourself. While you’re there, why not sign up to follow his blog? I’m so glad I did! 🙂

~ooOOoo~

In other news, today is the launch of book tour number two for MYTH AND MAGIC, this one through Goddess Fish. I’m just doing a straight book promo tour this time, otherwise I would have been spreading myself too thin (there are 11 stops on this tour), but I had to share the snazzy banner they made for me:

If you need a refresher on what MYTH AND MAGIC is about, hop over to Lisa Haselton’s Reviews and Interviews, the first stop on my Goddess Fish book tour.

You can also find me at Mythical Books, today’s stop on my Pump Up Your Book tour.

And in case you’re wondering, I’m still waiting for someone to clone me 😉

Eclipse Lake Book Tour Continues with Mae Clair

It’s Wednesday and it’s March, so that means another blog stop on my ECLIPSE LAKE blog tour. Today, I’m visiting Booklover Sue who devised a series of interview questions for me to answer.

What Makes a Name Special? by Mae Clair

It’s another blog touring day for me as I hop over to Romance Novel Giveaways to share a post about character and place names. I don’t know about you, but naming characters is my favorite part of starting a new novel. I get seriously jazzed by the prospect! 🙂

Many times during blog tours, authors are asked to answer interview questions. I enjoy doing that, but I like it even better when I’m able to share a guest post. This one was a lot of fun to write.

Hop over to discover why I chose the names I did and what prompted the inspiration for each. As before, you’ll have another chance to enter my giveaway for a $20 gift card to Amazon or Barnes and Noble (winner’s choice). And, of course, I’d be happy to have you say hello as my ECLIPSE LAKE blog tour continues. 🙂

And I’m also at Just Romantic Suspense today. This is one I follow on a regular basis, a fabulous blog that showcases new releases in the mystery and suspense genre. If you haven’t checked it out before, you might want to give it a look-see and drop me a hello, while I’m hanging out there. Happy Wednesday!

ECLIPSE LAKE by Mae Clair, Blog Tour Continues

Tour banner for Eclipse Lake, a novel by Mae Clair, depicts a serene lake settingI’m winding down to my last two blog stops for ECLIPSE LAKE in February. I have to say I’m glad to see this month end. Not because of hopping around the blogosphere, which I always enjoy, but because of the horridly cold temps in my neck of the woods. I live in the northeastern U.S. which has been hit with ongoing blasts of arctic air.

As someone dubbed a “tropical fish” by my husband, I don’t do well in cold weather. I’m hoping March will usher in something a shade warmer…like in the 20’s at least! 🙂

Anyway, grab something warm to drink and pop around to visit my two latest blog stops if you get the chance. Today, I’ll be at Jane Reads and LibriAmoriMiei. Hope to see you there…and don’t forget to enter my Giveaway for a $20.00 gift card to Amazon or Barnes and Noble (winner’s choice). The tour will continue  with more stops through March 25th!

Another Day on the Road, by Mae Clair

It’s another day on the road for me, as I visit the blog of my friend Carmen Stefanescu. Carmen is a talented lady who has the distinction of living in “Dracula’s Country,” otherwise known as Romania. She shares intriguing posts about her country’s folklore and history, as well as topics on writing. She’s always happy to feature other writers and is the author of SHADOWS OF THE PAST, an intriguing novel which blends parallel stories of history, and present day. I’m so glad I’ve connected with her.

Do drop over and say hello if you can. I’m talking about family dynamics and ECLIPSE LAKE, as I continue to take Dane, Ellie, Jesse, and Jonah, out and about. And while you’re visiting, consider signing up to follow Carmen’s blog. She always has something interesting to share!

Today is a TwoFer, by Mae Clair

Who doesn’t love a twofer? You get double the fun, double the entertainment value, or double the product, depending on what kind of twofer you’re celebrating.

Today, I’m offering up my own special  brand of twofer. It’s another tour day for ECLIPSE LAKE as I join two bloggers for interviews. Yes, two!

Book Tour: Eclipse Lake by Mae Clair #mystery #romance

Tour banner for Eclipse Lake, a novel by Mae Clair, depicts a serene lake settingIt’s a new month, thus a perfect time to kick start a new event. Although my novel, ECLIPSE LAKE, was released last summer, I never ushered the release in with any fanfare. As a result, I thought it was high time to take it on a blog tour, and introduce others to Dane, Ellie, Jesse, and Jonah (among the colorful characters who populate my small rural town of Onyx, PA).

Today I am visiting Long and Short Reviews where I’m sharing a post on the importance of setting and what inspired me to create the communities surrounding Eclipse Lake. If you have a moment, please pop over and say hello.

You can also catch me throughout the month, at these blogs:

February 11: Sexy Adventures, Passionate Tales
February 11: Room With Books
February 18: Read Your Writes Book Reviews
February 19:  Shadows of the Past
February 23:  Jennifer Lowery
February 25: Jane Reads
February 25: LibriAmoriMiei 

Enter to win a $20 gift card to Amazon or Barnes and Noble. I’m awarding the card at the end of my tour, which runs through March, and is being organized by the great people at Goddess Fish Book Tours.

I hope to see you at Long and Short Reviews. Come share your thoughts on setting, and enter to win!
