Sheila's Guests and Reviews

The Flower Child Blog tour stops at another wonderful blog today, where fantasy author A. F. Stewart (in her own words) rants, writes and reviews books: http://afstewartblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/storyteller-guest-author-sheila-deeth.html . You can even read an excerpt from the first A. F. Stewart book that I ever read--Chronicles of the Undead--at the top of her page. Or, if you prefer shorter stories, click on Passing Fancies halfway down the page and enjoy some wonderful samples of short scary tales--perfect for the time of year. A Nova Scotia writer who likes fantasy, mysteries and history, A. F. Stewart is also a great friend and supporter of other writers. She creates and responds to writing prompts, always leaves encouraging comments, and even runs groups for writers on Goodreads where she hosted my Q&A last weekend. So enjoy my post on the stories I tell, and why Spiritual Speculative Fiction, when you follow the link . Then enjoy the many other things on offer. And t...

Author T.P. Boje has invited my Flower Child blog tour to her blog http://tpboje.blogspot.com/2011/10/guestpost-by-sheila-deeth.html today where I'm writing about what inspired me to write Flower Child . Back in August, Therese wrote a guest post on this blog ( http://sheiladeeth.blogspot.com/2011/08/tp-boje-on-inspiration.html ) about where the inspiration for her book, The Eye of the Crystal Ball , came from. It looks like we're exchanging ideas and inspirations. (Click here for my review of The Eye of the Crystal Ball.)  Meanwhile, Therese's new Y/A paranormal romance, The Academy--book 1 of The Afterlife , has just gone on sale (with book two coming soon!) and she's been getting good reviews. You might like to follow the links and check it out. More inspiration, more great books coming your way... Thank you, Therese, for hosting me on your blog. And good luck with the Afterlife! The Afterlife, by T.P. Boje Have you ever wondered where you go when y...

The Flower Child blog tour is visiting Jezebel Jorge's blog today with thanks and a post on identity. Who am I? And why am I asking myself "Who am I?" Go over to http://www.jezebeljorge.com/2011/10/identity-by-sheila-deeth.html and find out.   Jezebel's new book, Headlocks and Hexes , is coming soon from Gypsy Shadow Publishing --the same publishers as my beloved Flower Child--and here's a blurb to whet your appetite for this fascinating mix of women with magical strength and men with physical... A love spell turns lethal when Rowan falls for professional wrestler, Dylan Dalton. Once she’s immersed in his world of scripted violence, endless drama, and constant temptations of life on the road, Rowan learns the identity of her birth father. Chaos ensues when she finally meets the man responsible for raping her 15-year-old birth mother. Guided by the ghost of her grandmother, Rowan sets out to avenge her bir...

Two excerpts from Flower Child are posted on Minnette Meador's World Weaver blog today at http://minnettemeador.blogspot.com/2011/10/welcome-to-sheila-deeth.html. You'll find that Minnette's a wonderful world-weaver if you click on her books page while you're  there: http://minnettemeador.blogspot.com/p/books-by-minnette.html , and her worlds span a wealth of places and times. Roman Britain comes to life in The Centurion and the Queen , The Edge of Honor , and the newly released Gladiator Prince . There's epic fantasy in Starsight I and II (with a prequel and sequel promised), and a Ghost of a Chance (released in June) offers sensuously amusing and scary urban fantasy. With the Bell Stalker coming soon as well, Minnette's seriously busy and I'm thrilled she took time out to fit my blog tour into her schedule! You'll be thrilled too if you read all the excerpts and blurbs on her site. Hope to see you over there!

I hope you're having a wonderful Sunday. I'm running around in real and cyber-space in many different directions with The Flower Child Blog Tour today. My Goodreads Q&A continues at http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/678175-q-and-a-with-author-sheila-deeth . Join the conversation and ask your questions there. Meanwhile Wordstock continues in downtown Portland--I'll be manning my own small table from 3 till 5 after spending yesterday afternoon enjoying the ambiance and listening to speakers. If you're near the Convention Center, drop in and say Hi. And... My cyber-self is visiting Glenda Bixler at http://gabixlerreviews-bookreadersheaven.blogspot.com/2011/10/welcome-to-flower-child-blog-tour.html , where I explain what I mean by calling myself a Mongrel Christian Mathematician. If that's not enough, you can get an advance look at tomorrow's blog-tour stop and the chance to read an excerpt from Flower Child on Minnette Meador's wonderful World-...

Today I'm on Goodreads, answering questions about my background, my writing and whatever else anyone chooses to ask. I'd love to meet you there. http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/678175 Meanwhile, in the real world, I'm heading off to Wordstock in Portland, looking forward to some great talks by great writers, and hoping to pick up some good books at the same time. Tomorrow I'll even be manning my own two feet of stall-space on the Willamette Writers' stall, so, if you live near Portland, why not come and see me and my books. Then you can ask those goodreads questions in person. See you in real or cyber-space... and have a great weekend!
