Sunday and Monday’s Blog Tour Stops

Ariel Paiement

The last few days have been quite busy, so I didn’t have a chance to update you guys on the blog tour stops for them! Sunday, I was with Peter Younghusband on his blog Perspective by Peter talking about the themes in On Twilight’s Wings and how they reflect the overall themes of the rest of the series. You can find that here.

Yesterday, I did a video interview with Allen Steadham. This one’s more of a general author’s interview, so I answer questions about all kinds of things. Check it out on his blog or on his Youtube channel.

Today’s will be up once I have the link, but I’ll be on James Quinlan Meservy’s blog with another video interview, this time answering a different set of questions about me and the book. It was a ton of fun to do this interview with James, particularly since we recorded it with both of us talking back and forth. Allen’s was fun too, but that one was me just answering the questions he sent over. Overall, I’ve had a ton of fun with this blog tour so far, and I’m excited to share the last few stops through Saturday.

In case you guys don’t know, there’s a giveaway going on right now in celebration of the launch, and it’ll be running until March 7th. We don’t have many people signed up, so your chances of winning are high. We’ve got two possible winners. One will get an ebook bundle (which includes both the book I just released and Bane of Ashkarith in addition to six or seven other authors’ books), and the other will get a paperback copy of Cassandra Clare’s City of Bones (Mortal Instruments series that the ShadowHunters TV series was based on). The paperback is US only just because of shipping. You can check the giveaway out here, and no purchase is necessary to enter.

A Few Announcements (Giveaway and Blog Tour)

Hi everyone! If you’re on my email list, you’ll be seeing an email with this same information, but I didn’t want to miss anyone on here if they weren’t on the mailing list, so I’m posting to let you know about a few things going on.

First of all, as a way to celebrate my most recent book launch, I’m doing a blog tour! It’ll be from February 29th to March 7th. I have all but two spots filled, so if any of you like to feature fantasy authors with clean YA content, please feel free to comment below or just get in touch by email. I’m happy to do anything from a guest post to author interviews/character interviews. For guest posts, I can write about most things regarding fantasy, writing, and editing, so if you have ideas for what you want me to do, let me know! Otherwise, I’m sure I can come up with a few ideas to pass by whoever wants to host a guest post. It’s first come, first served with this, but I am open to extended the tour a bit if more than one or two people are interested in having me on the blog. My past experience has just been that if I manage to fill all of the slots and never have to do more than repost the guest posts/interviews to my blog, then I’ve been really lucky.

Second, I’m running a giveaway through Rafflecopter! There are two prizes: a copy of Cassandra Clare’s City of Bones (US winner only) and an ebook bundle with seven different authors and nine different ebooks, which will be given to the second person drawn. Terms and conditions are on the giveaway here. The only requirements to enter are following the Facebook pages of the authors in the ebook bundle. Besides that, everything else is optional, and no purchase is necessary to join. Some of the entries do require proof of completion (such as following blogs, joining newsletters, or requesting review copies for authors offering them), so you should check out the giveaway post on Facebook for more information on how you can provide proof of completion for any entries that need that. You can find that here. The giveaway post is pinned to the top of my page.

Well, those are the updates I have for the moment, everyone! If anyone has questions, they can be directed to me on social media, in the comments on this post, or via email. Whatever you’re more comfortable with.

Holiday Giveaway Announcement

Hey, everyone! I’m happy to announce that Port & Key has graciously offered to put up two ebooks for giveaway for this holiday giveaway. They’re offering a copy of the new anthology, The Mage’s Apprentice, and a copy of Amber D. Boyd’s, Howling at the Moon (if you’ve read my review then you already know I enjoyed it). As such, we’ll have two different winners for this competition.

The rules for this one are simple. If you aren’t already subscribed to my email list, subscribe to that. Everyone who subscribes between today and January 15th will be included in the random drawing for the ebooks. Please be aware that if you win, I will need an email address for Port & Key to email you your ebook copy through Bookfunnel. Amber and I both promise not to share the email with anyone. We hate spam as much as the next people, and we’re not about to contribute to it!

If you’re already subscribed to the email list, you can still join. Just shoot me a quick email at arielpaimenet@gmail.com so I know you’re already subscribed and would like to participate.

That’s it. Super simple, right? I hope so, anyway! I’m really excited for this giveaway, and there are lots of good stories in the anthology, not to mention Howling at the Moon, which is a great short story too.

Happy holiday season to you all!
