I’m really excited to have MICHELLE MUTO, AUTHOR OF THE BOOK OF LOST SOULS & DON’T FEAR THE REAPER host the tour today. Michelle and I last saw each other while we roamed  a very famous cemetery in Savannah, GA.

YA INDIE CARNIVAL: THE LUCK O’ THE IRISH

TODAY THE TRANSFER STUDENT BLOG TOUR VISITS THE AMAZING A.O BIBLIOSPHERE & read his wonderful review here!

Check out his blog for today’s EBOOK/SWAG GIVEAWAY! TODAY’S EBOOK WINNERS ANNOUNCED 12 PM PACIFIC!

Now ON TO THE CARNIVAL!!!!

I’m Irish. Who isn’t on St. Patty’s day? But I’m so Irish that my protestant Irish mother made me wear ORANGE to school on St. Patty’s Day. In Chicago. Yes…it scarred me for life. Maybe that’s why I became a writer. And maybe it’s why I write about luck. A LOT. It’s funny how these weekly questions have helped me sort out patterns in my writing. All us carnis randomly suggest the post topics every week so I think it’s funny that last week’s post topic on the season we write and this week’s have evoked such epiphanies. Or maybe it’s just the fact that I’m carb-deprived, due to diet.

What does Transfer Student, Batman & Back To The Future have in common?

The setting for the transfer! The Griffith Observatory lies in Griffith Park in the heart of Los Angeles. Griffith Park is the one of the most filmed locations in LA. In 2010 there was filming 340 days of the year. We’ve had birthday parties there and love the merry-go-round too. I thought it might be fun today to show a few clips and share some links of the movies shot here.

Today the tour visits ME & READING - EXCERPT  &  STACEY WALLCE BENEFIEL, AUTHOR OF THE ZELLE WELLS TRILOGY! ENTER TO WIN AN EBOOK OF TRANSFER STUDENT ON INGA OR STACEY’S BLOG! 2 WINNERS TODAY! EVERY COMMENT IS ENTERED TO WIN THIS WEEK’S SWAG!

I’ll announce today’s ebook winner by noon PST! Only 5 days until Transfer Student! SQUUEEE!
