Blog Tour!

I know I've been talking a lot about the promotion of Thomas Riley. To be honest, it encompasses most if not all of my free time. I'm really hitting this hard, so please forgive my one track mind.

The newest plan is a 30 day blog tour. That's right 30 blogs in 30 days. So far I have 15 lined up starting on Monday October 26th. Well, what about the other 15 days Nick? That's where I need your help. Yep you who's reading this right now. (Thank you by the way.) I'm looking for anyone with a blog that wouldn't mind me guest blogging for 1 day on your site. Don't worry, I won't need access to your blog or anything weird like that. We will agree on a day, I'll write the content and I'll send it to you weeks in advance so you can program it on our day. Boom we're done. It's easy, free and fun.

Of course in return for your generosity, I will drive traffic to your blog as well as welcome you to guest blog here or I can just write something about you, your book or whatever it is you're doing.

If this sounds like fun to you, email me: hazeltherabbit@yahoo.com

Also, don't forget to sign up to be a Sky Pirate HERE. This will get you in exclusive contests, random fun things and secret discounts. I must reiterate that your information will never be shared.

Also I'm proud to announce our first Canadian, Australian and Swedish pirates!

The State of The Union

Here's an update on how things are going with the book.


I'm prepping the launch of Thomas Riley with a ton of crazy and fun things. Contests, giveaways, and hopefully some pre-order goodness. Some of the things will include direct mailing, email blasts and my favorite pet project right now which is the "Sky Pirate Enlistment Program". You can sign up for free at my web site www.sirthomasriley.com

Just send me your name, email, and your mailing address if you like and you will be enlisted in the Canvian Sky Pirates & Privateers group. As always, your information will never be shared, but you will receive an occasional email, fun stuff in the snail mail and exclusive offers and discounts for Sky Pirates only. Fun huh?

I have so much in store for the promotion of this book that it's making my head spin, but hey it's all about getting the opportunity to work this hard isn't it? So sit back, relax, sign up to be a sky pirate and enjoy the good things coming your way.

Thomas Riley has his own blog

So Thomas contacted me to day to alert me that he has started his own blog today. Of course he ad to choose worpress. (he says it's more sophisticated.) Anyway, Thom has had a harrowing journey and wants to keep you all up to date on he and Cynthia's life after his adventure. So take a gander and get an inside look into his weapons and chemical company, Mercury Craft Industries.

Thomas Riley Promotion 1.0

So, I have hand done posters, postcards, business cards and that is just the beginning. I was talking to my friend about the new black and white dunny series and he suggested that I post some pictures of the promo stuff I'm doing for Thomas Riley. So here we go. A really bad picture with my phone (Yeah I couldn't find my real camera) of the TR postcard which is really cool in person. See it for the first time At Dragon Con in Atlanta this weekend. Hey if you're there come find me, I'll be at the Dunny party as well as the parade, the steampunk panel and who knows what else.
