Checkmate on Tour

Well, the blizzard I mentioned in my last post never materialized, thank God. We did get big winds, though...up to 60 mile an hour gusts, but only got about 3 inches of snow. It's gone now, I'm glad to say.

My Virtual Book Tour for "Checkmate" will kick off this Thursday, May 1. The tour schedule is below, so please stop in and say hi! I'm really excited about this tour, and this book! I got my first review the other day, and it is sensational. It's from Debra Gaynor of ReviewYourBook.com. The first paragraph of the review is below. You can follow this link to read the whole thing: http://reviewyourbook.com/review.cfm?reviewid=563

"It is almost 3 a.m., and I am still up. It is all Jean Hackensmith’s fault. Checkmate is one of those books that you do not want to put down. From the opening page to the last page, the action does not stop. The plot will keep readers gripping the edge of their seat..."

Cool, huh? Well, at least I think it is. That's it for now. Off to promote the tour...and here's the schedule:
