Most of y’all know that for me to say this summer has been crazy would be putting it mildly. Between my awesome but hectic job and exciting but looming writing deadlines, there was no time for planning anything by the way of cover reveals or news drops or future blog tours for Orphan’s Song which is going to be releasing this fall. I was trying not to stress about it, and then everything came to a screeching halt a week and a half ago, when I got into a car accident, wound up in the hospital for a week, had two surgeries, and am now recovering … with a little bit of time to kill before I’ll be well enough to head back to working my day job. (You can read the full thrilling tale here!) Cue planning. This my friends, is where y’all come in. I am faced with a difficult mission, a task I can by no means accomplish on my own, so I have come to ask you to take a stand by my side. I am in need of a few good men and women, warriors of the pen, readers of fantasy, and bloggers of renown. You see, some authors build tribes. Other establish street teams or set up undercover operatives. I on the other hand am establishing a clan. The word clan carries with it a strong sense of family and community (not to mention incredible brogues and kilts). Clans are united in purpose and mind, with all the members pulling together for the same goal through thick and thin. My goal is to gather together a clan of readers who get excited about the same sort of fantasy novels that I do and would be willing to stand by my side and help spread the news about Orphan’s Song and the future books in the series. The requirements? Clan members must have either a blog, twitter account, facebook page, or other online form of social media where they would be willing to post links, important announcements, and blog tour information. Brogues are encouraged. Kilts are not required. Remember, word of mouth is one of the best ways to spread the news about a novel! In return, clan members can expect sneak peaks at future books, backstage character access, discounts, freebies, giveaways, and more! Interested in joining the clan? You can either leave a comment with your name and email address, and I’ll add you to the list, or if you would prefer, you can send me an email at thesongkeeper(at)gmail(dot)com with your contact information. Once you join the clan, you can expect to receive an email from me in the next few days with your first mission! I appreciate your help as I try to prep Orphan’s Song for release this fall!

Sounds cool! I have a mean twitter account. I'm at mizzviolin at yahoo dot com.
Gillian Bronte Adams says
Sweet! Twitter is one area where I have absolutely no experience, so having an "inside gal" will be super helpful. :)
