Conclusion of the Haunting Joy Blog Tour!

Happy Halloween! What better way to kick off the day than announcing some winners, wrapping up the tour, and inviting you all to join us for a Twitter chat? But first, if you haven't yet read Haunting Joy, this is the perfect day to pick up a copy! The spooky black & white paperback version is available at Amazon, and the e-book with the pink & purple cover (currently only $.99!) is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iTunes, and Kobo. This sweet and meaningful little story is the perfect Halloween treat!

Winners!

We have three winners for the tour-wide giveaway:

1. The winner of the glass heart necklace is Bailee!

2. The winner of a signed paperback copy of Haunting Joy is Cynthia Clubbs!

3. The winner of an e-book copy of Haunting Joy is Shelby Mead!

Congratulations, winners! I've sent you an e-mail, and you have until Monday (Nov. 4th) to respond before I pick another winner. Thank you to everyone who participated in the spooktacular giveaway!

Acknowledgements

Lena and I are grateful to the following bloggers for their participation in the blog tour. The tour couldn't have happened without them! We appreciate their time, creativity, and enthusiasm.
(If you missed any of the stops on the tour, you can click the names above to be taken to their tour posts!)

I'd also like to thank all of the readers who followed the tour, as well as Lena herself, who is an amazing person and a delight to work with! ((Hugs))

Halloween Fun!

If you're reading this Halloween morning, I'd like to take this moment to remind you that we're concluding the tour with a fun Twitter chat! Join @SeasonsHumility and @lena_goldfinch on Twitter from 12:00 - 12:30 pm EST (9:00 - 9:30 am PST), using the hashtag #HauntingJoy, to chat about Lena's light paranormal release and other ghostly things, perhaps! (And if you're new to the "chat" thing...so are we! So no need to be afraid - we'll do this thing together. =))

Also, I'll let you in on a fun little secret... The cover for the next book in Lena's "Haunting" series (Haunting Melody) is up on her website!

Besides chatting with us on Twitter (*wink*), what are your plans for Halloween? Hope you have a good (and safe) one!

Launch of the Haunting Joy Blog Tour!

Lena Goldfinch - cover designer and author extraordinaire - has released a ghostly novella just in time for Halloween! I had the pleasure of copyediting Haunting Joy, and I loved it. It's sweet, a little spooky, and yet serious in its message about identity and empathy. A wonderful autumn read that I'm happy to be sharing about by hosting this blog tour!

Here's a glimpse of what's in store for the tour:

 Halloween Treats

We'd love to hear what your favorite Halloween treats are - be they of the candy variety, special memories, fun paranormal reads, or other seasonal favorites!

I'll name one paranormal book I read recently and enjoyed: Paranormalcy by Kiersten White. I got it back when there was a $1.99 special for the Kindle book, and I found it to be an intriguing, funny, creative, and endearing read. If you don't mind the vampires and faeries and whatnot, it's fun! 

And now for one segment of a Halloween-themed Shrek short (from Scared Shrekless)... Two words: Zombie. Cookies. (If you're not a fan of the special brand of Shrek humor, this might not be your thing. As for me, I confess to pretty much having the whole "The Bride of Gingy" segment memorized. I find it quite hilarious! Enjoy!)


Speaking of Halloween treats, please don't miss the Twitter chat with Lena (@lena_goldfinch) at noon on Halloween! (It's the first Twitter chat she and I are hosting...so we'd love the support!) Come with questions about Haunting Joy, the paranormal genre, writing novellas - whatever you'd like to ask Lena! And we'll bring the virtual M&Ms. ;) (There might even be a few e-book giveaways, too!)

Please share some Halloween favorites and check out Lena's latest - and e-mail me at amberstokes@editingthroughtheseasons.com if you have any questions about the tour!
