*waves* Hello all, and Happy Wednesday! Can you believe it?! The first day of the blog tour is here! *coughs* I may have a hard time believing it myself. The good news is that this time I'm actually managing to be a bit ahead of things, and I have the kindle pre-order up and running! You can pre-order your copy here!
We have three stops on the blog tour today! so be sure and click over and take a look. ;)
Some of you may remember back in March when A Question of Honor was published, I shared 3 facts about the book each day. But since I didn't want to do the same thing again, I decided I'd share 1 fact about the book, and 1 quote each day. Sounds like fun? Here goes!
Random Fact: The first draft of A Question of Courage ended at 65K words. And I wrote the entire thing in a month. It was the most I've ever written in that short of a time period. Not much of the actual story changed during the edits, and the final version ended up just a bit over 70k.
Quote: Art tilted his head toward the flight deck. “You a pilot?”
Rafe was pretty sure his uniform made that clear, but he nodded. “Yeah. You?”
He’d meant the question to be sarcastic, but obviously Art either didn’t notice the sarcasm, or ignored it. Waving a dismissive hand, he shook his head. “No. I’m just your normal, ordinary, run-of-the-mill sailor. I specialize in having a peculiar sense of humor, dressing smart, and being handy with the ladies.” He paused, and then put up a finger. “Oh, did I mention sarcasm?”
Rafe shook his head. “No, no, I don’t think you did. Quite the résumé.”
And . . . that's all for today! Oh, wait, am I forgetting something? *thinks* Right, the giveaway!
And . . I'll see you all back here tomorrow! ;)
