Lycopolis Virtual Book Tour: A Celebration of Writing, Publishing and Blogging

If you’ve been following Aliventures for a while, you might remember that I published my novel Lycopolis back in November 2011. It’s been getting some lovely reviews on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk, and I’ve decided it’s time to spread the word a little further.

From today until 21st May, I’m on a virtual book tour … posting in lots of different places around the blogosphere about writing, self-publishing, blogging and more.

I’ll be updating this post to link to all my different “stops” on the tour, and I’ll also be posting on Aliventures to let you know what I’ve been up to each week.

I’ve also produced print editions of Lycopolis, and if you have a non-Kindle ereader, you can now get an .epub version of Lycopolis through Smashwords.

About Lycopolis

One Hallowe’en, a group of online roleplayers summon a demon, The Prince of Nightmares. Seth, who’s in charge of the game, says it’s “just for fun”. But disturbing things start to happen in real life: red marks appear on the foreheads of the gamers, and they’re all having nightmares about a dark forest.

Secrets come out, friendships are broken, and the boundaries between the real, the virtual and the imaginary become increasingly fractured as the Prince becomes more powerful. Kay, a student at Oxford, is the only person who realises what Seth is doing – and it’s up to her to stop him.

Lycopolis is a fast-paced supernatural thriller / contemporary fantasy novel, available from:
