A Question of Loyalty Blog Tour - Day 5

Welcome to the last day of the blog tour! I can’t believe we’re already here ... the past few days have gone by so quickly! A huge thank you to everyone who participated; I couldn’t have done it without y’all. <3



We have four ladies joining us today, so be sure and stop by their blogs and check out their posts!
Kellyn Roth - Review - Reveries
Angela Watts - Book Spotlight + Interview - The Peculiar Messenger
Ryana Lynn - Review - Life of Heritage Corner
Kaitlyn K. - Book Spotlight - Twin Thoughts

I still don’t have the links for Amazon, and I apologize! This is my first timer using KDP as opposed to Createspaces, and their process is a bit different - and one that I wasn’t used to. XP  I’m currently just waiting for them to tell me that it’s been published ... and hoping that they don’t somehow find an issue with the files.

Today is the last day to enter the giveaway, so head over and enter! It ends tonight!

A Question of Loyalty Blog Tour - Release Day!

Release day, y'all! And wow. It’s so weird to think that this is the last release day I’ll have for this book series. I love all the characters so much and they all hold a special place in my heart. <3 While I’m beyond excited to be releasing the final book to the world, I’m also just a little bit sad because it means I have to say goodbye. But as they say, all good things must come to an end ... I need to start with book #1 and reread them all now. XD


So, I don’t have an amazon link for y’all yet, but Lord willing I will have the lin to the kindle and paperback version in the post tomorrow! I was up at ridiculous hours last night trying to finalize everything, and now I’m just waiting on Amazon to tell me that they have approved it. 
Honestly though as I was going through and editing I could not believe alllllll the little things I had missed! Made me appreciate editors so much more. Like, seriously. AQoL Is 10x improved because of them. XD 

Today we have two bloggers joining us, and they’re both doing reviews! I am doing my best to respond to comments here on this blog as well as visit the blogs on the tour, and I apologize for running a bit behind on that. I coudln’t have done alll this without y’all. <3 You ladies are amazing!

Molly Anne - Review - Set Apart for Him
Kaitlyn S. - Review - Maidens for Modesty

Giveaway: For this of you who might have been wondering, it is not an international giveaway due to the shipping costs. However, go ahead and enter. If you do live in another Country and win, we can figure out something like an amazon gift card and e-book copy, if that’s satisfying for y’all. ;)

A Question of Loyalty Blog Tour - Day 3

And ... day #3! Release day is tomorrow, y'all! And I'm over here lowkey freaking out because ... I still have to format for kindle and go through the final edit. But I'm writing this Wednesday so hopefully by the time y'all read this I will have gotten a bit of that done ... I feel like either I have nothing going on for weeks, and then everything has to be done at once and life is crazy. That definitely describes this week for me. XD



We have two blogs joining us on the tour today, so be sure and check out their posts! Honestly nothing makes this author any happier then seeing everyone celebrating this book with me. ^_^ 


Faith P. - Book Spotlight + Review - Stories by Firefly
Victoria G. - Book Spotlight + Interview - Victoria’s Book Nook

Today I have more music for you ... I think I just like music too much. I'm beginning to realize that it plays a huge part in just about everything I do. Sometimes I like it, other times not so much. It's like everything in my life has its own personal soundtrack. XD 
Anyway. Here's today's piece. 

]
Just a warning, the video does contain some graphic/bloody images. So maybe just listen to it if you're sensitive to that. It does fit the book so well though. At least in my opinion. And the lyrics ... <3 I feel like it would fit perfectly at the end of part 2 in the book. 

You never lived to see
what you gave to me
one shining dream of hope and love
life and liberty
With a host of brave unknown soldiers
for your company, you will live forever
here in our memory

In fields of sacrifice
heroes paid the price
young men who died for old men's wars
gone to paradise
We are all one great band of brothers
and one day you'll see we can live together
when all the world is free

I wish you'd lived to see
all you gave to me
your shining dream of hope and love
life and liberty
We are all one great band of brothers
and one day you'll see - we can live together
when all the world is free.

A Question of Loyalty Blog Tour - Day 2

Welcome to day #2 of the blog tour! We have a couple fun posts lined up for today, and I have a trivia question for those of you who have read the series.


There are three reviews happening today, so be sure and show these gals some love. <3 

Soliel - Review - Reviews by Soliel
Abby G. - Review - Photos by Abby Rose
Libby May - Review - Geoturtle


Okay, so I know I said I was going to be posting music this week, and I still intend to, but I got to thinking that I should switch it up just a bit. So today and Friday I’m going to be asking some trivia questions, and sharing a fun fact about the writing process of A Question of Loyalty.

So, the trivia questions for today. Comment with your answer and I will reply and let you know if it was correct or not. ;)

- Arnold plays an important role in A Question of Loyalty, but it isn’t the first book he’s mentioned in. Which of the proceeding books and in which chapter is he first mentioned in? (Hint: he’s not mentioned by name.)
- In A Question of Honor and A Question of Loyalty, Erich struggles with a lot of different things. However, one thing in particular from his past seems to be his greatest weakness. What is it?

And fun fact. A Question of Loyalty was originally written to be the 2nd book, but there was a lot of historical inaccuracies that weren’t working. So I took a break from it and decided instead to leave my English characters in England for a while and make the 2nd book take place in the Pacific. Once I made the decisions to make it the 3rd book, the plot and characters changed drastically from the first draft. The first draft that was completed in 2016 had Rafe, Erich, Arnold, and Micah’s POV, and took place in Switzerland.

A Queston of Loyalty Blog Tour - Day 1

My goodness it’s been so long since I’ve had one of these! I mean, I guess it’s been a little less then a year, but still. I think that’s the longest that I’ve ever had between publishing books since I started in 2015.


Anyway, I’m so excited to be back this week and hosting the blog tour for the 3rd book in my Questions of War series, A Question of Loyalty. This book holds a very special place in my heart, and I’m so happy to finally be able to share it with all my wonderful readers. I’ve defintely made y’all wait long enough. ;)


This week eneeded up being busy for me with life as well as book stuff, so instead of doing fun trivia and facts like I have in the past when I’ve published, I’m going to share a song each day in each post. I have a playlist of music that I listened to while I wrote this book, so I’ll be picking some from there. Most will probably be soundtracks ... they seem to be the best source of inspiration for me.


Most of the songs may be from the soundtrack for this movie. It was weird how perfectly the song could fit with a certain scene, and even now listening to them make me wanna see the show. Only I know I’ll end up crying and I’m not sure I can handle that emotionally right now. XD

This one is a song I imagine playing in the background as the medical units ship to Normandy in the beginning of the book. It is alive with uncertainty and expectation, and a promise of what’s to come. I love it so very much. For those of you who have read the book, can you see how it fits or is it just my imagination?

Today we have two bloggers joining in the blog tour! Be sure and check out their posts and enter the giveaway! I’ll see y’all back here tomorrow.
