The Bleeding Hearts Virtual Book Tour *updated*

To celebrate the release of my debut urban fantasy BLEEDING HEARTS: BOOK ONE OF THE DEMIMONDE on March 15, we'll be embarking on a month-long virtual book tour.


I'll be visiting a group of fantastic bloggers and authors, sharing interviews and secrets and excerpts along the way. At the end of it all, one lucky reader will win a Bleeding Hearts prize package, filled with whatever retail therapy finds its way inside.
