SILENCE Blog Tour: Guest Post & GIVEAWAY


We are thrilled to be the next stop in the Silence Blog Tour hosted by Fallen Archangel. We're celebrating this week's release for Silence, which hits shelves this TUESDAY, October 4th. This is the third (not the final) book in the series. YAY for that. You can read my reviews for Hush, Hush and Crescendo here.

While you're waiting for your copy of Silence to arrive, don't forget to grab the latest Silence extras that Simon & Schuster have created for fans: Patch & You Facebook App and Be Part of the HUSH HUSH Saga.

Today we have Becca on the blog!!!!
____________________________________

Hey everyone!

Becca Fitzpatrick here. Today I'm guest blogging at MundieMoms and dishing a little on author book tours. Consider this a behind-the-scenes look into what we authors do to get ready to meet YOU!

First up, packing. Packing is a big deal! This year, I'll be gone 29 consecutive days, and I have a strict policy that I only travel with carry-on luggage. In other words, I have to fit all this:


Into this:


When packing, I keep three things in mind. Pack light, pack mix-and-match pieces, and try really, really hard to limit myself to one pair of comfortable shoes. Oh, and when I say pack light, I mean pack lightweight clothing. Six tissue tees take up the same amount of room as one sweater.

Next up: school presentations! Most people know authors do public signings at bookstores in the evening, but what do we do all day? Sit around and eat room service? Haha...no. We're usually out and about at local high schools talking to students about the writing process and our books. I like to provide exclusive behind-the-scenes content in my school presentations, things like outtakes from the cover photo shoots, share rejection letters I received for Hush, Hush, and every now and then I'll tell an embarrassing story from my own high school years.

Finally, social media. When I'm on the road, the best way to reach my readers and fans is through social media. I like to post pictures to Facebook and Twitter, as well as give updates as often as possible. Not only does it build awareness and excitement for the tour, but it also gives readers who don't live in the cities I'm visiting a chance to see what I'm up to.

And there you have it. A sneak peek into the world of book tours. If I visit your city, I hope you'll come see me!

Becca

To be released on October 4th, 2011 by Simon & Schuster

The noise between Patch and Nora is gone. They've overcome the secrets riddled in Patch's dark past...bridged two irreconcilable worlds...faced heart-wrenching tests of betrayal, loyalty and trust...and all for a love that will transcend the boundary between heaven and earth. Armed with nothing but their absolute faith in one another, Patch and Nora enter a desperate fight to stop a villain who holds the power to shatter everything they've worked for—and their love—forever - quoted from goodreads

You can read the 1st chapter here

    Thanks for the great giveaway! It's definitely important to pack mix and match items but I can't limit myself to one pair of shoes!

    This is an amazing giveaway. My packing strategy is just to pack for 3 or 4 more days than necessary, not always the best strategy haha.
