Book Tours – Joan Hall

It’s No Mystery!

Published on March 6, 2023March 3, 2023 by Joan Hall

Hey, Readers. The Menagerie book tour is over. Thirteen stops for thirteen stories, plus last Wednesday’s Voice of Indie podcast. If you missed the live event, you can click the link to listen on YouTube.

Book tours are exhausting, so I’m taking a break from Mystery Monday today. Instead, I’d like to take the time to express my gratitude.

I’d like to thank each host for their generosity in sharing their corner of cyberspace to help me promote the book. If you missed any of the stops, here’s the list:

Day One – Mae Clair
Day Two – Staci Troilo
Day Three – Harmony Kent
Day Four – D. L. Finn
Day Five – Gwen Plano
Day Six – Jan Sikes
Day Seven – John Howell
Day Eight – C. S. Boyack
Day Nine – Beem Weeks
Day Ten – Stephen Geez
Day Eleven – Marlena Smith Burris
Day Twelve – Judi Lynn
Day Thirteen – Teri Polen

I also want to thank those who followed along and left comments. I appreciate your support. To those who have read and left reviews, they warm my heart and encourage me to write more.

One more thing. I know newsletters aren’t for some of you, and that’s okay, but I’m trying to build my subscribers. To show my appreciation, I’m giving a copy of the deleted scene from “Friends,” one of the thirteen stories in Menagerie, to those who subscribe. This content isn’t available anywhere else. If you’d like to sign up, just click this link. My goal is to send a monthly newsletter, I’ll never flood your inbox. I also plan to offer more free fiction in the future.

You can find me today at Story Empire. I’ll return March 13, (yes the 13th) with a new mystery or legend.

Menagerie Book Tour: Day Thirteen With Teri Polen

Published on February 28, 2023February 28, 2023 by Joan Hall

Hey, Readers. Today is the thirteenth and final stop of the Menagerie book tour. As you know, it’s a collection of thirteen stories, released on Friday, January 13. (And no, I’m not superstitious.) Today’s story is titled “Mystery Woman.” It’s in the supernatural suspense genre.

My host today is Teri Polen. Many of you know her for her annual month-long feature, Bad Moon Rising, but she is also the author of several YA books. Don’t let the genre fool you, adults can enjoy these books as well. Teri also contributed to the time travel anthology, Quantum Wanderlust which I was also a part of. You can view a list of all her stories by visiting her Amazon Author page.

Like me, Teri is a cat lover and often posts about her fur baby, Bond. Yes, Bond, as in James Bond.

Published on February 16, 2023February 19, 2023 by Joan Hall

Hey, Readers. The tour continues today. Only three more stops after this one. I’m grateful to all of you who have visited me along the way. Today’s featured story is “Stony Creek,” another contemporary piece. As you probably know, I love small towns and while growth is inevitable, sometimes it’s not always for the best.

Stephen Geez is the newest member of Story Empire. He is a prolific writer having several published books under his belt, including a series of “How To” books on writing. He’s a retired TV producer and composer/producer of music for television and is now a publisher for Fresh Ink Group publishing.
