abouthyme.com: Susan Albert's Nightshade Blog Tour Schedule

Susan Albert's Nightshade Blog Tour

Susan is touring the blogosphere this spring, talking about her new book and about the China Bayles series. Each of her blog posts will offer something new and interesting about the series. You're invited to drop in on each one, and to enter the drawing for a first-edition copy of Nightshade. There'll be a different drawing for each blog, so you'll have many chances to win. You'll find the links to the drawing pages in Susan's posts, as well as the deadline. (You knew there had to be a catch, didn't you?) Enter at least eight of the drawings and you'll be eligible for the grand prize: the audiobook, Bloodroot, Susan's favorite book in the series.

If you're not a subscriber to Susan's weekly eletter, All About Thyme, you're missing out on some fascinating herbal lore. For information and to subscribe (it's free!) go here.

Jerrie A. of Conley, GA
