Hello, all! Cool thing today. 😉
Introduction to the blog tour
This is a blog tour to celebrate and introduce my novel Kiera. It’s releasing this Friday the 22nd, and I’m so excited! I can’t wait to share it with you! Every day of the blog tour, I’ll be linking out to the lovely hosts and hostesses who have offered to let me “visit” their blogs. 😉
Introduction to me, the author
I’m Kate, and since you’ll see my official bio around a lot this tour, I’m gonna go ahead and just tell you three random things about myself.
- Middle-grade fiction is probably the genre of books I read the most.
- I once wrote a movie script. It was a ton of fun, but eleven-year-old me had too much fun with the melodrama of things. XD
- I like to sit on the floor while I write in a spot between the couch and a huge decorative birdcage. We’ve taken to calling it “Kate’s Kingdom”. 😉
Introduction to the book in question
“Kiera is looking forward to her eighteenth birthday. The official end of school, a party with her best friend, and chocolate cake. A sudden military draft, no possible exemptions, had never crossed her mind.
Kiera is terrified! Getting drafted would mean leaving her family, her little friend Jade—life as she knows it.
A surprising offer from Brennan Stewart just might be the answer to her prayers, but an even worse trial leaves her with one question…
If God truly loves her, why did this tragedy happen?” (from Goodreads)
Kiera (pronounced Keer-uh) is a Christian dystopian novel with strong themes of trusting God, true love, being pro-life, and standing up for what you believe. There’s also a little bit of romance. 😉
Introduction to the giveaway
That’s right! There is one. 😀
Sooo much pretty! ❤
The giveaway is open to US and international entries alike, but due to the cost of shipping, there will be an alternate international prize. If the winner who is drawn lives outside the contiguous United States, a $15 Amazon giftcard, an ebook copy of Kiera, and an ebook copy of Crossroads will be their lovely prize. 😉

Do I count as an international enterer (a word?)? My address in in the U.S.

Yay!! 😀 Aw, me too. 😉 Those two books are great.
If your P.O. box can handle packages, then no, you don’t count as international. If you won, I would ship it to your US address.
