Blog Tour Days 5,6, and 7

Mary Lindsey — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 08:40:40 +0000

So, the Teen{Book}Scene Shattered Souls Blog Tour is in its second week.
There are two stops today.

The first is a review by Rachel on Fiktshun. I loved this line:

This story is not only a must read, but a must re-read.

The second stop is with Amber at Down the Rabbit Hole, where we talk about favorite ghost movies.

Yesterday, I was interviewed by Alisia Leavitt.

Last Friday I talked about my favorite books with Megan over on A Trail Of Books Left Behind.

Be sure to check out the schedule to see where I’ll be next!

Shattered Souls Blog Tour Day 4: Interview and Review

Mary Lindsey — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 00:30:29 +0000

It’s day four of the Teen Book Scene Shattered Souls Tour.

There are two stops today. One is an interview on Dog Eared and Bookmarked.

There is also a review of Shattered Souls over at Books Complete Me.

Be sure to check out the schedule to see where I’ll be next!

Shattered Souls Blog Tour Day 3: A bit of fun at my expense.

Mary Lindsey — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 17:36:27 +0000

The Teen Book Scene Shattered Souls Tour is on day three!

Today’s stop over on the Mission To Read Blog features a video. Oh yes. I submitted to the embarrassment of letting my daughter videotape me talking about my favorite place to write… Unscripted… In my pajamas… with no makeup. AND, I let her edit it. Naturally, she picked the bits that made me the dorkiest. Wouldn’t you do that to your mom when you were 15?

You can view it by clicking HERE.

Go check out the schedule to see where I’ll be next!

Tuesday Tour Stops

Mary Lindsey — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 13:00:56 +0000

The Teen Book Scene Shattered Souls Tour is on its second day.

Today’s stops are a top ten list of things you didn’t know about me (some of them odd) over at WhatchYAreading. There is also a review of Shattered Souls over on A Good Addiction.

And on the next stop (Wednesday), there will be a fun prize, so check out the schedule to see where I’ll be!

Teen Book Scene Shattered Souls Blog Tour Kicks Off Today!

Mary Lindsey — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 01:36:36 +0000

Yippiee! The Teen Book Scene Shattered Souls Blog tour starts today, August 15, 2011! You can see the schedule by clicking HERE.
