Blog Tour Stop: Pronunciation Guide and Review
Hi everyone! I’m over at Ner’s blog, A Cup of Coffee and a Book. Ner starts us off with a wonderful book review where Zaria Fierce is compared to the Chronicles of Naria (I’m very flattered!), before we move on into a Pronunciation Guide for Zaria Fierce.
Here’s a preview of the nice things she says about my book:
Keira Gillett’s writing was also easy to read you basically read an entire chapter without realising it. It wasn’t too childish but it wasn’t also too tricky or too mature. It’s a writing style that can be read by any age and anyone who simply wishes to leave reality behind and enter this fantasy world.
Blog Tour Stop: 8 Facts about Zaria Fierce
I’m so excited to be at Emily’s blog Midwestern Book Nerd today. I’m sharing facts about writing and publishing Zaria Fierce book one. I hope you’ll join me and say hello.
Emily also wrote a fabulous review for the first book. Here’s a sneak peek of what she has to say:
This book was seriously so fun, and was a nice distraction from life. I highly recommend you look into it if you are in the mood for a fun adventure. I also recommend that you get it for any book loving middle schooler you know. This would have been right up my alley at that age, but sadly did not exist at that point (well at least it did not exist in my hands). Support an indie author and dive into a completely new series!
Blog Tour Stop: Picking the Narrator for Zaria Fierce
I’m excited to be on Aimal’s blog, Bookshelves and Paperbacks today. We’re discussing how to pick a narrator for your book. It’s a tough job, but an author’s got to do it (especially if she’s self-published.) So what should you do? Join us to find out!
Blog Tour Stop: Writing, Reading, and Music
You can find me today over at Liberty Falls Down discussing how music intersects with writing and reading. I also share the playlist for Zaria Fierce and the Secret of Gloomwood Forest so you can listen as you read to what I listened to as I wrote. How fun is that?

Thanks so much for having me Anjie!
Fun Author Promotion and Marketing Tool: Book Business Cards
I was browsing the web and came across a book marketing post with a fantastic idea. Create business cards for your book! So I did. Aren’t they lovely? I am really pleased by the brown border for the front of the card. It grounds the book cover and gives the card some weight. Also, it’s just a gorgeous cover! 🙂
I honestly can’t wait to hand these out to people that I meet.
Stranger: “What do you do?”
Me: “I’m an author! I just published my first book.”
Stranger: “That’s awesome, what’s it about?”
Me: “An American girl in Norway whose best friend is kidnapped by an ugly troll.”
Stranger: “That’s so creative. What’s the title?”
Me: “Zaria Fierce and the Secret of Gloomwood Forest. Here take my card.”
Stranger: “Wow! That’s the cover? It looks so good!”
