Today's I'm part of a virtual book tour organised by The Write Reads for The Devil’s Apprentice by Kenneth B. Anderson
About the book
Philip is a good boy, a really good boy, who accidentally gets sent to Hell to become the Devil’s heir. The Devil, Lucifer, is dying and desperately in need of a successor, but there’s been a mistake and Philip is the wrong boy. Philip is terrible at being bad, but Lucifer has no other choice than to begin the difficult task of training him in the ways of evil. Philip gets both friends and enemies in this odd, gloomy underworld—but who can he trust, when he discovers an evil-minded plot against the dark throne?
The Devil's Apprentice is volume 1 in The Great Devil War-series.

I'm planning a virtual book tour for the month of
December (and maybe January too of I can find enough hosts). This one will be a
bit different from past VBTs though. I'm touring all my books. Yep, all of them
at the same time. I'll be promoting my premade book covers, Promo Day event, and my Writers and Authors blog too.
I'm in the process of putting together the biggest,
most complete media kit I've ever created. This mega media kit will then be
uploaded to Google drive so that hosts can easily pull the info they want to
use in posts.
This tour is not just for blogs. There's a load of
pre-written social media posts and click to tweets to use on social media too. Newsletters
are also welcome. Of course, there will also be a huge amount of graphics to
use with posts too.
Hosts can choose to feature just one book, or a selection
of books. Or they can do an author feature instead. I'll be putting in lots of
general author info and a Q&A sheet to pick and choose from for interviews
too.
There will be some video content as well that can be
embedded into posts if you fancy going multimedia ;) I may even throw in some
infographics and guest posts if I have time.
E-copies of all books are available for reviewing too.
Just drop me an email if you'd like to review.
A linky will be up on my website where hosts can
submit the links to their posts during the tour. I will of course, be promoting
all of them during, and after the tour.
Obviously I'd like to have as many hosts as possible,
so if you can squeeze me in somewhere I'd really appreciate it.
I'll be doing another blog post once everything is
ready to share the link to the mega media kit. Today's post is just a heads up
;)
Next step, World domination!
As you will know if you've been following the blog or on social media, The Pendant will be released on 1st February 2017. To celebrate the launch I'm going to be doing a virtual book tour from 1st February to 10th February.
How you can help:
1) You can host me on your blog. I'm looking for hosts to post a book showcase, interview, or review. I have a media kit (including a rafflecopter giveaway), and lots of graphics I can send you to make hosting super easy. Please email me for the materials and let me know when and where you will be hosting. I'll obviously be promoting all the tour stops and so will bring traffic to your site.
2) Share about the release on social media. To make it even easier, I've created some click to tweets, so all you have to do is click to share on Twitter:
And here are some graphics to share on other sites:
3) Buy a copy of the book at http://amzn.to/2kEVxBJ and post a review (maybe I should have put this as number 1 on the list ;)).
Thank you in advance for your support. It means the world to me. I hope you will all enjoy the KOSMOS series as much as I've enjoyed writing it.
Today I have a special offer for you. My award winning book will be available to download for just $0,99 from 25th-30th November 2016.

Want to know how to sell more books online? This is the book for you!
Virtual Book Tours are a great way to create a buzz for a new release or to put life back into an older publication. In this book I'll take you through everything you need to know to be able to set up and carry out a successful virtual book tour.
The book is divided into 4 main sections for easy navigation:
1) What is a Virtual Book Tour?
2) How to organise your own tour
3) Promoting a tour
4) Useful resources
You'll find it packed with links, tips, and advice to help make your tour a hit.
"I thought I knew everything about Virtual Book Tours until I read this book, I now know so much more! Virtual Book tours are a highly effective way to spread the news about your book, I did one for my own book (The Alien Mind) before I read this book and was amazed at how much more traffic and interaction it brought to my website as well as the boosts in sales and reviews. I can't wait to apply the tips Jo shares in this book to my future book releases and see how much MORE of a boost these tips will bring!
I think the next thing I want to try out, which Jo discusses in her book, is a virtual book signing!
Jo Linsdell has blown me away with her new book Virtual Book Tours: Effective Online Book Promotion From The Comfort of Your Own Home. This is seriously a book that EVERY author promoting any book absolutely NEEDS to read. You will not be sorry, as a matter of fact, you will want to keep it close at hand for reference. All the steps are clear and easy to follow and there are many tools discussed in this book as well. You will find yourself going back to it repeatedly for marketing advice!"

Have you read you it yet? If yes, please take a minute to post a quick review with your feedback. I love hearing what you think of my work. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LFFRYEE
Over September and October this year I did a virtual book tour to promote the release of my latest book Virtual Book Tours: Effective Online Book Promotion From the Comfort of Your Own Home. The launch started with a bang. The book became a best seller on Day 1 of the tour (it's official release date).
The tour was packed with guest posts, interviews in various formats, book features and spotlights, author spotlights, and reviews. I had loads of fun and reached all the goals I'd set myself for the tour.
I can't believe how much I packed into this tour. On several days I did multiple posts. 61 days, multiple posts on some days... it was a lot of work. All of it worth it though.
My hosts did an amazing job, for which I am immensely grateful. I'm honoured to have been able to collaborate with each and every one of them.
I also wanted to say thank you to all of you that followed the tour and joined in. There were some great comments and questions both on the blog posts and in the live chats. I love hearing feedback and connecting with readers. You guys make doing a tour such an awesome experience.
Thank you to all of you that grabbed a copy of the book and helped make it an international best seller, and a special thank you to those of you that took the time to post a review.
And not forgetting those of you that voted for it on the Goodreads lists. Your support helped it reach the top spots on numerous lists like "book marketing" and "books for building your author platform".
Thank you all for your support.

I'm honoured to have supportive authors like Ruthie in my network. It's people like her, who step up to support other authors, that motivate me to do as much as I can to help fellow writers.
Today I'm hosted on the site of +Dellani Oakes, called Writer's Sanctuary for an interview. Dellani asked some great questions about Virtual Book Tours: Effective Online Book Promotion From the Comfort of Your Own Home, virtual book tours, my cover design, why I choose KDP, and finding the time for writing and marketing.

I hope you'll drop by and leave me a comment. What do you consider when designing your book covers? How do you find the time to do everything? Are you a self publisher? I'd love to know.
My new book Virtual Book Tours: Effective Online Book Promotion From the Comfort of Your Own Home is scheduled for release this September. To celebrate the launch I'm going to be doing a virtual book tour to promote it over September and October.
As you can imagine, I want this tour to be the biggest and best I've ever done. I'm specifically looking for sites for writers and authors, about book promotion and marketing, and sites that cover topics like guest blogging, but I'm happy to visit more generic sites too if you think your readers might be interested in my book.
I'm open to guest posts, interviews (written blog posts, radio, Facebook Wall Chats, Google+ Hangouts, Twitter... pretty much any format you can think of ;)), book spotlight features, etc...
To join the tour please hop over to my website and fill out the quick sign up form.
If you're writing an article about virtual book tours then I'd love to send you a quote to include in your piece. Just drop me an email with some details on what you need.
Features in newsletters are also appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your support.
