I would love to help you promote your new book or even give an older publication a little love! Here are some fantastic services that I provide.

Blog Tours

Blog tours are an excellent way to get your book out there! Book bloggers are the life blood of our community! They are the ones that provide those much-needed reviews that are key in making the regular public stand up and take notice. Blog tour are virtual book tours that provide reviews, featured blog posts like interviews, and other essential promotional posts.

Book Blitzes

Blitzes are a fun way to celebrate a book launch, book birthday, or as a means to give your book a little boost. They’re also an effective way to advertise an upcoming blog tour or keep the momentum going after a successful tour. No matter what kind of blitz, social media is an essential part of the process, so in addition to your book being featured on blogs, bloggers also share it on all social media further spreading the word.

Cover Reveals

Cover reveals are an absolute must when looking to create buzz about an upcoming book! Not only do they get people really excited, but they’re a wonderful opportunity to have bloggers provide pre-order links for their readers.

In addition to these services, I provide a “Review Query” service, which means for a nominal fee, I provide a review opportunity to a pool of bloggers, in addition to advertising your book on my blog and website. This removes the lengthy and often discouraging process of contacting bloggers yourself.

I’m also happy to customize a package for you which can include a combination of services.

Whatever your needs, I can give your book the love and attention it deserves!

Blog Tour: My Sweet Friend by H.A. Leuschel @HALeuschel #Review #Excerpt #Giveaway

R&R Book Tours is so pleased to kick off the tour for this 5 star novella about a toxic friendship, I bet so many of us can relate to!

I really enjoyed this one!

I don’t often read short stories because a lot of the time I am left dissatisfied. It takes a very strong writer to develop a good story with fully fleshed out characters, the complete picture, and an enjoyable conclusion that not only ties up all lose ends, but also leaves you wanting more. But in a good way, not because the story was vague or incomplete.

This author is excellent at delivering these well-written firecrackers that always feel like full-length novels. “My Sweet Friend” is no exception. I highly recommend you give this one a go.

Rating… A+

My Sweet Friend (Release Date: December 6, 2017)

A stand-alone novella from the author of Manipulated Lives

A perfect friend … or a perfect impostor?

Alexa is an energetic and charismatic professional and the new member of a Parisian PR company where she quickly befriends her colleagues Rosie and Jack. She brings a much-needed breath of fresh air into the office and ambitiously throws herself into her new job and friendships.

But is Alexa all she claims to be?

As her life intertwines with Rosie and Jack’s, they must all decide what separates truth from fiction. Will the stories that unfold unite or divide them? Can first impressions ever be trusted?

In this original novella, H.A. Leuschel evokes the powerful hold of appearances and what a person is prepared to do to keep up the facade. If you like thought-provoking and compelling reads with intriguing characters, My Sweet Friend is for you.

Goodreads

We all make up stories to understand the world around us and our place within. We often believe what we want to believe and consciously or unconsciously interpret what we see and what we hear from a restricted perspective. Furthermore, outer appearances and life’s circumstances equally tend to influence and challenge the story we tell ourselves and others … which in the case of ‘My Sweet Friend’ ends up taking on different versions because – to make matters worse – one of the main protagonists is also a liar. (Helene Leuschel_

Excerpt

She ended up taking me to her stylist, and a few boutiques to change my classical outfits into more flamboyant and daring ones. She was being so kind and attentive that I wondered whether I could have muddled up the incident.

‘You’re like my mum was when I was a teenager, taking me to shops and make-up displays, thinking she could pep up my looks,’ I said.

‘She didn’t do a very good job, did she?’ She winked, her words leaving a sharp pain of hurt.

‘If you say so,’ I said eventually, my eyes focused on a row of buttons running down a tight fitting red dress. ‘You never mention your family. Visibly, they’ve done a better job.’

‘Oh, my parents,’ she answered dismissively, her tone of voice flat. ‘It’s complicated. We talk from time to time but we don’t have much in common. It’s a shame really, considering I’m their only child, but I don’t care now.’ It was all she ever said.

‘I couldn’t imagine… that’s so sad, Alexa. My mum and I are very close.’

‘Please don’t,’ Alexa said, her eyes lowered and lips twitching as if she were about to cry.

‘Oh, Alexa, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you.’ She looked up at me with an empty stare and nodded.

‘Fine. Just don’t mention it again,’ she said coldly, slipping back into the changing room without another word.

February 12, 2018Reads & Reels

This book is really special! Truly worth every one of the 5 stars its receiving, and I’m thrilled to share it with you today.

The Shadow Girl (Release Date: December 28, 2017)

Blackness. Nothingness. It was in the shape of a giant, hazy shadow, enveloping me, swallowing me, and digesting me into the unknown. It was my biggest fear and my ultimate fate.

Shy, thirteen-year-old Zylia has always known she was different. Most teenagers feel unnoticed and unseen, but for Zylia, it’s something much worse. She’s disappearing from this world and doesn’t know how to stop it. At times, she’s not sure she wants to. Until she stumbles across a family mystery surrounding the disappearance of her great-aunt Angelica years earlier. During her quest to unravel the mystery, Zylia discovers she’s able to cross the boundary and enter the “in between” world. Now, it’s up to Zylia to save herself before she’s trapped “in between” forever.

Excerpt

I did my best to fight and claw my way back to the life I once knew, but panic had taken over and colors were swirling and fading all around me. It was all turning into a great cloud of blackness, just like the one I had seen in my dream. The looming cloud of nothingness I had feared for so long was finally grabbing me, wiping my world dark and blank.

The darkness was thick and intense, an inky void that stretched to eternity in every direction. Eventually my panic burnt itself out and I simply stayed there in the dark, feeling as if someone had drained my adrenal glands. I was no longer responding to the dark with fear, but acceptance. In fact, curiosity was beginning to take over.

The longer I let myself stare into it, the less dark it appeared. After some time, I realized that it was all different shades of murky black and foggy gray overlapping and undulating, just out of focus. I blinked mentally and suddenly she was there, standing above me with concern etched in sooty-colored lines on her monochromatic face.”
