Good morning everybody! We're kicking off a blog tour and contest to celebrate CAYMAN SUMMER and reminisce together about Michael and Leesie's journey. The first stop is an interview with Michael, Leesie and me at Bee's beautiful blog, DREAMCATCHER's LAIR. Go check it out. It's really fun. And you'll get to read Michael's very first words on paper--the free write that became TAKEN BY STORM!
Here's your formal invitation to M+L FOREVER Tour and Contest. The blog tour calendar is still a work in progress--like everything in my writing life right now--so if you'd like to join, just let me know. We'll be debuting new trailers this week, and I'll be posting background pictures from Michael and Leesie's journey from their first conversation to CAYMAN SUMMER's epilogue. All your questions and comments are always welcome!

 |
| Aren't they cute? These were the favors at my son's recent wedding, and I decided I had to get them for Michael and Leesie, too. Colors will be different. I'll post a picture of the actual M&Ms with Michael and Leesie's faces on them as soon as I get them. |
I'll also be giving away 3 complete sets of TAKEN BY STORM, UNBROKEN CONNECTION, and CAYMAN SUMMER!
One signed first edition hardcover of TAKEN BY STORM
And 5 copies EACH of TAKEN BY STORM, UNBROKEN CONNECTION, and CAYMAN SUMMER in paperback!!
All you have to do to enter is make a comment below. If you FaceBook, tweet, blog, Goodreads comment, tell a friend or a bookclub, about the contest, you will get an extra entry for each place you promote the contest. Bloggers who host me on their blogs as part of the tour will receive 5 extra entries. More opportunities for extra entries will arise over the course of the tour.
CONTEST DEADLINE: AUGUST 1, 2011
And, yes, as always, the contest is open to my wonderful international readers.

I would love copies of books! I will facebook and goodreads. I have a blog but haven't blogged in months and months. I am glad things are going well for you. Susan G. Haws at haws65@msn.com I keep trying to post a comment but it is not taking my google id.
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing contest and the idea for the M&Ms is wonderful. I will be checking out the blog tour! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletekatieb206@gmail.com
Okay, I'm going to FB this as soon as I comment here. Funny thing--I finished TBS three days ago, and have already ordered the other two on my Kindle, and now halfway through Unbroken Connection. Kind of addicted now. Doh! I'd be happy to jump in on the blogger reviewer list, since I'd planned to mention TBS anyway. Sign me up.
ReplyDeleteExciting and congrats! I'll FB and tweet about it. I'm still figuring out goodreads, but will definitely mark it as to read (I've gotten that far on understanding it). Thanks!

Awesome, Canda. I'll be in touch with you. And you don't need to buy CAYMAN SUMMER to read the final version. It's posted right here under the CAYMAN SUMMER (Ch. 1-18) and CAYMAN SUMMER (Ch. 19-Epilogue) tabs.
ReplyDeleteHey Canda, I don't have an email address for you and can't find one on your blog. July's wide open. You can pick your date. Do you want to send me interview questions? And review the books?
ReplyDeleteThose M&Ms are possibly the cutest things I've seen :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and what a what a wonderful post. Thanks for waking me up. I will post on my blog and at FB, Goodreads, Twitter, Networked. Also my email friends. Good luck with the tour! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love m&ms and I an still looking forward to reading Cayman Summer. I am adding it to my Kindle wish list. I shared your contest on FB. I'll post it on my blog tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, Angela! Congrats on your series. I bought your book "Sing me to Sleep" It's in my to read pile next to my bed. I'll share your contest on my blog sweetbetsylove.blogspot.com and on FB. I'd love to read all three of your books.

I also tweeted. I tried to share on goodreads, but couldn't figure it out.
ReplyDeleteI'd love for you to post on my blog. I've never heard of a blog tour before, but it looks like a pretty cool thing! I'll have to see about setting one up when my book comes out.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, I'll post a link to this page on FB.

ReplyDeleteI would love copies of the books! Thanks for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI want the books, please and thanks! I need to get my hands on Taken by Storm and Cayman Summer, since I only own Unbroken Connection (which was amazing, by the way!)

What a great contest with chocolate and books. I've read SMTS but would love to try your other books. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteemilygcannon@hotmail.com
Oh, yeah, Emily. If you loved Beth, Derek and Scott, you'll adore Leesie and Michael.
ReplyDeleteI read Nichole's review and interview and came right over! Well, no, I went to the library's website and put your books on hold then came over here.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the M&Ms.
Would love to read your books! CONGRATS!
What a great contest!
ReplyDeleteJust wandered over here from Nichole's blog, and these sound really cute! Thanks for the giveaway!

You may not remember me, but we met at story makers. I loved your book and would love to have you as a guest on my blog, although I,m sort of new to the blogging world and not quite sure what that means. My blog is kristystories.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHey Kristy, It's great to hear from you. Congrats on your blog. I'd love to visit. All that means is you email me questions, I send back the answers, and you post them on your blog. I'm running the blog tour through July, so if you want to work out a date, I can add you to that.
ReplyDeleteDrop me an email, okay? It's angelamorrison at mac dot com
THANKS!!
Pick me! Pick me!
ReplyDeleteI've heard such fabu things about this series, what a fantastic giveaway! Love the idea of the M&M's!
ReplyDeleteCayman summer contest international! I'm from Venezuela!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much fot the giveaway Angela!
best wishes with your book!

gracias por el concurso Angela, la verdad les tengo ganas a tus libros desde hace rato
kisses
Welcome everyone! I'm thrilled you stopped by. I hope you all win. I'd send everyone books if I could.
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading TBS (this was my 3rd time..ever since I got it from the library I've been addicted to it), and boy are those poems good or what? You truly are an amazing author. It's too bad my library doesn't have Unbroken connections (can't afford it myself). I was thrilled when I found the epilogue for SMTS. That was very inspiring and just the right fit.
ReplyDeleteSign me up!!!!!
Now, dear, dear Anonymous. I hope you win UNBROKEN CONNECTION, but a fan with your dedication might not want to wait. It's only $2.99 to download it from Amazon. And you don't need a Kindle. The Kindle store has free apps for your computer, phone, iPod, etc. And then you can come right back here and read CAYMAN SUMMER, too. Aren't you dying to find out what happens next?
ReplyDeleteYes, I am dying to find out what happens in Unbroken Connection...Thanks, I will definitely download it!
ReplyDeletegreat giveaway Angela!!!
