Hello All:

I’m at Day 10 with the virtual Book Tour, but I’d like to mention something that happened while I was promoting The Wildcat’s Victory on Facebook. I originally thought I had received a reply from a child or young person, and replied gently with that in mind – but after I received a reply I began to think someone was hitting me up for identity theft.

Tell me what you think – I posted more detail on my blog today (March 14th) at http://thewildcatsvictory.wordpress.com If anyone is interested in learning more I’ll pore through the emails and Facebook messages to post the original message and what I sent. I may be overly suspicious, but forewarned is forearmed.

Free POD Paperback of The Wildcat’s Victory

For the month of March, I am going on a Virtual Book Tour for my new release, The Wildcat’s Victory. Follow me along and leave some comments to qualify for the draw. The novel is a sequel to Deadly Enterprise released last July and features the same gutsy and sassy protagonist, Gisel Matah. If you check my new blog at http://thewildcatsvictory.wordpress.com you will see links to this week’s visits.

On Monday (which was election day around here and occupied much of my attention) I was a guest blogger at The Book Connection and yesterday morning (at 5:30 my time) I was on a blog talk radio interview at You Don’t Know Jack. The interview can be heard at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/sydneymolare/2008/03/04/Guest-Chris-Hoare I was surprised at how strongly my old Brit accent reasserts itself in such situations – I sound as if I just got off the boat.

Today the Virtual Book Tour visits Buzz the Book http://buzzthebook.blogspot.com For a brief description and a part of the first chapter.

The site does more than this, because at the bottom of the entry it posts this:-
If you would like to follow Christopher's tour, visit http://www.virtualbooktours.wordpress.com/ in March. Leave a comment on his blog stops and become eligible to win a free copy at the end of his tour! One lucky winner will be announced on this blog on March 31

YES at the end of the month long Book Tour, one person who followed the tour and commented on even one blog will win the draw for a free POD paperback copy of The Wildcat’s Victory. The draw will be handled by Pump Up Your Book Promotion, but I will mail out the free copy from here.

Talking about the POD copies, I’m hoping to see them today. They are late, but I was able to use the tracking number and learned they arrived in Lethbridge overnight and set out on the truck at 7:30 this morning for delivery. Four of them have to be mailed to reviewers for this blog tour – I hope my reviewers can read quickly.
