I had such fun putting these photo quotes together for my blog tour. It took hours and lots of reworking to get them right.
Hope you’ve enjoyed this little recap from my blog tour. Links to all the reviews and interviews etc are on the Blog Tour page.
As always, here are the links to pick up your copy of Visions of Zarua, or to see what other reviewers have been saying.
Do you want to run a blog tour? This is how I did it, as explained by Dan on his blog. Please let us know what you think.

On a personal note, the kids have just broken up for the summer hols. It was a busy & emotional time, especially with my son leaving junior school, but he has taken it in his stride and can’t wait for Seniors in September.
I plan to be quite busy with them for the next few weeks, plus I’m still trying to finish my next book. I have a couple of posts lined up but then things may go quiet at my end. Please still leave comments and I will check back when I can.
Happy summer everyone.
I’m really pleased to share my interview over on Dan’s blog. Plus there’s links to my goodreads giveaway which ends soon.

At the end of my two week blog tour I announced the goodreads giveaway via lucciagray‘s blog. It’s a worldwide giveaway where one person can win a signed copy. I’m aiming to beat my last giveaway entry total that hit over 2k. Will you help me spread the word?

Visions of Zarua is still on sale via Smashwords Summer/winter sale. Pick it up for $2.00 throughout July. I assume this will be discounted in other countries too. Just add the code SSW50 at the checkout.
If you missed any of the blog tour posts, you can check out my dedicated page here. I’ve added links to all the blogs involved – reviews, Q&A’s, promo posts etc.
There have been some wonderful reviews of Visions of Zarua. 8 months on, I’m so pleased that I took the risk and self published.
Today I have an average rating on Goodreads of 4.42, Amazon UK 4.6 and Amazon US 4.5. I’m thrilled that readers like Visions, and I ask again if you have read it would you consider leaving a short review? I love to read what you think, and the more reviews I have the more notice people will take of my work.

I will be taking a rest from blogging for a bit. I’ll still post book reviews and photos, but I need to spend some time finishing my next book. Plus the summer holidays are looming large and I will have two children to amuse and stop from killing each other.
Thanks again to everyone whose supported me.
That’s it, the tour is complete. 14 days, 15 blogs! It’s been exhausting, but fun and what better way to finish the tour than with a final great review. Please check out the link to Color me in Cyanide and Cherry.

I can’t believe the tour is almost over, just two days to go.
First I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has liked, shared and retweeted everything to do with this tour. I really appreciate your help in my efforts to get Visions of Zarua more exposure. Please keep up the great work for the last few days.
And of course, thank you to the bloggers who have been kind enough to host me, and the reviewers who have read my book for this tour.
If you have read Visions of Zarua, would you consider leaving a review? I’m into double figures now with some great 4 and 5 star reviews. A few more and it might be enough for Amazon to start taking notice.

A final note – It’s been pointed out that some of the links to other bloggers sites have not worked. Most are ok, but if you get to a website and it states page not found, you just have to click on the header for the blogger and it will take you to their home page.
Thank you, and have a great weekend.

Today I welcome author Suzanne Rogerson with her new book Visions of Zarua.
Two wizards, 350 years apart.
Together they must save the realm of Paltria from Zarua’s dark past.
An ancient darkness haunts the realm of Paltria.
