Seventeen Skulls Virtual Book Tour, Day Seven

Lucky number seven on the tour schedule is a rare day off. I said I’d have updates here each day of the tour, and that holds true even on off days. That’s right, no tour stops today, but the streak continues here!

It’s been a whirlwind of activity so far, not only with these daily updates and all the reviewers and bloggers we’ve visited but also with those who have read (or plan to read) the book. I discovered today that quite a number of people have marked Seventeen Skulls as “to-read” on Goodreads, which is very cool. Speaking of Goodreads, there are some nice reviews on there, as well as over on Amazon. While it would be lovely to see more and more of those kind words from readers, the ones that are up there already make me feel really good about this book.

Here’s a sample of what some readers felt about Seventeen Skulls:

“Another good read from the pen of New Brunswick’s Joe Powers.”

“Seventeen Skulls is a compelling journey into an unspeakable terror told with supreme skill and mastery of the horror genre.”

“…a very classic horror story. Reminiscent of Stephen King, it draws readers in with supernatural elements that were similar to those of H. P. Lovecraft.”

If you like horror and/or suspenseful thrillers and are thinking about reading Seventeen Skulls, I hope you’ll give it a look. And if you’ve already read the book and enjoyed it, I hope you’ll consider leaving a review, either at Amazon or Goodreads or both places. Reviews and ratings are the lifeblood of all authors and are arguably the best and easiest way to help get the word out about a book you’re read and liked. I guarantee it won’t go unnoticed, or unappreciated!

On that happy note, I wish you a happy Sunday and bid you a fond farewell. Tomorrow we’re back to the grindstone but for now, don’t forget to sign up for emailed updates and news over at my contact page. Until next time, stay safe, talk soon!

Seventeen Skulls Virtual Book Tour, Day Six

A lazy Saturday afternoon and I’m sitting in my office (the end of the couch) with a cat to my left, a dog to my right, and a visit from an old friend on the schedule for this afternoon. In the meantime, here I am along with you as we file another tour day under our belts. As a matter of fact, for this Saturday edition we’re adding a bonus stop on the tour.

First up we pay a visit to A Wonderful World of Words, where we find nice coverage of the book and we discover that the giveaway counter is now just shy of 1,200 hits. We’ve got three book excerpts and a segment of an interview here.

Today’s bonus tour stop was late to the party yesterday but is now back on the schedule. We’ve got Momma Says: To Read or Not to Read, a review site that covers a lot of books and seems to get a lot of traffic. Glad to see an appearance here, as yesterday it looked like it wasn’t going to happen.

With our two stops now discussed (and thanks as always to our gracious hosts), I’ll let you get back to your weekend. Tomorrow I’ll pop in briefly to talk about the one tour stop we’ve got lined up, but otherwise we no return you to your regularly scheduled… well, whatever it is you do on your weekends! Don’t forget to sign up for emailed news and updates on my contact page, there’s always room for more of you to drop on in. Welcome to the latest newcomers, feel free to have a look around the site and see if anything strikes your fancy. Until next time, stay safe, talk soon!
