The Persuasion of Miss Jane Austen is officially launched out into the world, and I’m hoping the world will receive “my darling child” well. Things are looking promising, according to the reviews of few early birds who managed to read it already. Yay! Meanwhile, I’m going on tour – my virtual book tour for the new book. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be visiting various blogs of a literary nature, doing guest posts and interviews, each one different and many with giveaways attached.

After a couple of preview posts, Austenprose hosted me today for the official kick-off of the tour. And so on from there. Here’s the complete list of scheduled tour stops, past and still to come:

• July 9 – Cover Reveal at Austen Variations
