Blogger Blog Tour - The Novel Approach

2014GRL_BlogTour_sq200x200
Cheers, everyone, I hope you’ve all had a great week! I’d like to start with a huge thank you, first of all, to RJ for allowing me to hijack her blog space today so I can share some of the great things we have in store at The Novel Approach, leading up to GayRomLit 2014 in October. 

Before I get to the good part, however, I’d like to use up a wee bit of my e-ink and word count to tell you about TNA, in case you’re not familiar with the site.

The Novel Approach is a team of 14 reviewers, both men and women, who... well...really, we just love to read and talk about books. Surprise! Having stated the obvious now, I’ll also say that I feel we represent a great cross section of personalities and personal reading tastes. We offer a little bit of something for everyone, in terms of our reviews, and I’m so proud to have been able to build a staff that not only works well together but that complements each other so perfectly. I’m exceedingly grateful to them for all the hard work and effort they put into doing what they do, and I adore them all to bits.

Which leads me to the purpose of my visit today. When the GRL Featured Blogger tour was conceived of earlier this year, I started with a group of 11 authors. Over the course of several months, that number has doubled in sizes, and I hope you’ve been able to follow along, not only at The Novel Approach but at the other participating sites as well. It’s been great fun reading what the authors have come up with for each of their visits at TNA, as well as helping to coordinate all the great giveaways they’ve offered, and will continue offering, until the tour winds down the first week of October.

So, it’s with the utmost gratitude to my team of authors for their continued generosity that I’ve been able to put together a special giveaway exclusive to The Novel Approach. Over the course of two weeks, September 29 through October 10, I’ll be posting Virtual Gift Basket Giveaways, six in all! Each of these baskets will include E-Gift Cards and E-books from participating authors: Jordan L. Hawk, Erica Pike, Zathyn Priest, DH Starr, Rhys Ford, Sophie Bonaste, Ethan Day, JK Hogan, Rafe Haze, LE Franks, Edmond Manning, Jacob Flores, Jamie Lynn Miller, Lex Chase, Sherrie Henry, Katey Hawthorne, Charlie Cochet, Deanna Wadsworth and, last but certainly never least, RJ Scott. Sounds great, doesn’t it? I think so too. But let’s get this little celebration started right now, shall we?

Giveaways

Eligible entries must be time/date stamped by Midnight GMT on Saturday, September 6, 2014. Two winners will be selected at random on Sunday, the 7th, and notified via email for prize delivery. Good luck!
