ONE MORE DAY Kickoff

December is a very busy month. There’s food to be bought, baking to be done, lights to put up and…a book to promote?

Yep, in the middle of all the fixings and trimmings, the strands of tangled Christmas lights, ensuring the dragon is well-fed, seven YA authors (myself included) are preparing for a whirlwind internet tour of the new anthology by J. Taylor Publishing, ONE MORE DAY. There will be virtual parties, giveaways, games, virtual cakes and good eats throughout the month of December, and everyone is invited to travel with us and join in the celebrations.

Not sure what ONE MORE DAY is about? From the back cover…

What if today never ends?

What if everything about life—everything anyone hoped to be, to do, to experience—never happens?

Whether sitting in a chair, driving down the road, in surgery, jumping off a cliff or flying … that’s where you’d be … forever.

Unless …

In One More Day, Erika Beebe, Marissa Halvorson, Kimberly Kay, J. Keller Ford, Danielle E. Shipley and Anna Simpson join L.S. Murphy to give us their twists, surprising us with answers to two big questions, all from the perspective of characters under the age of eighteen.

How do we restart time?

How do we make everything go back to normal?

The answers, in whatever the world—human, alien, medieval, fantasy or fairytale—could,maybe, happen today.

Right now.

What would you do if this happened … to you?

Sounds great, doesn’t it? The book releases December 2, 2013, and to kick off the blog tour, I asked each of the authors a simple question: If there was one moment in time you could freeze for eternity, a moment you’d love for everyone to see, what would that moment be? From December 1 – 7th, you will find each of the authors’ answers right here, so I hope you drop by to experience those moments. Sprinkled throughout the month, you will also find various guest posts and/or interviews by some of the authors so you’ll have more than one opportunity to get up close and personal with them.

In the middle of all the ONE MORE DAY posts here, I will also bring you a few interviews and blog posts for other authors who have their own books they’re proud of and want to show off. After all, the spirit of the holidays and Christmas is not about tooting our own horns. It’s about helping others and giving them boosts, applause and accolades whenever we can.

J. Taylor Publishing has a list of many of the blog stops and the dates which you can find here. There is a virtual Facebook party on December 6, 2013, beginning at 7 PM CST. There will be giveaways, fun contests, and a lot of fun to be had, so sign up and I hope to see you there. I am also in the process of setting up a Goodreads giveaway, so stay tuned for more details.

Whatever you do, please make sure you visit each one of the ONE MORE DAY authors’ websites, take a look around and leave a message or several messages throughout the month. Don’t forget to like their Facebook and Twitter pages. We would all love to hear from you because without you, our words, our stories would be homeless. We bow to our readers’ stupendousness. You guys completely rock my world. On behalf of Linda, Erika, Anna, Marissa, Danielle, Kimberly and myself, thank you for your support, and have a wonderful holiday season. Hope to see you around the internet and don’t forget to bring your friends! The more the merrier!
