The Gadoury Dreamer

I have some exciting news! I'll be a returning guest to "Other Worlds of Romance," hosted by Linda Mooney.  You can chime in on January 18th, 2016 at 11:00pm. I'll be reading an excerpt from the novel, and answering all of your questions!  Stay Tuned!!  You can find the show here:  Other Worlds of Romance

I had a great experience with my first book tour with "Bewitching Book Tours" - when I had just published "Seven Seeds of Summer." Now with "Allerleirauh," I felt it was even more important to do so with having no contacts, no sense of networking and really having no idea who to contact to get the book out to other readers and viewers. So, without further ado, You can find more information at Enchanted Book Promotions . I'm so excited, and I hope this helps to get "Allerleirauh" out to everyone! Keep tabs on "Allerleirauh" and the book tour! I'll be sure to post about it all that I can!

It's probably something that every writer kinda fantasies about. . . their novel becoming a movie. I've actually been thinking about this, only because I did the same thing with "Seven Seeds of Summer," so - I thought, what fun! I can do this with "Allerleirauh" too! Low and Behold - This is what I came up with! Top Row:   Mrs. Benson, Lord Crestwood, and Prince Klaus Middle Row: Aurelia Bottom Row:  Myriah, Lord Haven, and The King To be honest, William Moseley was a huge inspiration (from Peter Pevensie in Narnia) for Prince Klaus. When actually putting faces together, I thought twice about this at first, but he'll always be the real Prince Klaus to me. Mrs. Benson reminds me of Carlotta from "The Little Mermaid." Lord Crestwood is young and daring, and the Prince's closest friend. Lily James was truly another inspiration for Aurelia.. so I thought it only best to use her as well. Myriah is older than Aurelia, and more motherl...

                My Mom was the first person to really introduce me to the world of books and words. It was a great Saturday morning when she'd take me to the James V Brown Library in Williamsport, PA and together we'd embark on collecting as many books as my arms could carry and then she'd whisk me away to the quiet upstairs where covers of handsome men (bare chested at that) would be holding their beautiful woman - and would just leave me wondering what the stories were about.                My Mom really encouraged me to learn how to read - she even sat me down a few times to try to help me - and always allowed spontaneous visits to the library to happen. I think was a vital part of me writing/reading development. It helped that I had great teachers in Elementary school, who allowed our minds to wander when we were given a project of writing our own books - but it was really the support I had at home. ...

I feel really lucky to be having the ratings that I've received so far. I feel really, very lucky. This morning, after receiving another email from a review swap that I've been participating in - and seeing the wonderful words of encouragement, I looked up to the ceiling and closed my eyes and kept saying "See Dad? See?" I might have lifted my phone up too - just in case he wanted to see. But I guess, in a way - he does. I wished so much that I could call him and say "Dad!! I'm getting all of these really great reviews, see?" Where-ever you are today Dad - just know that I'm doing this for you.Because even if you're not here anymore on earth, I still feel want to feel your pride inside my heart. So, with that said -- if you haven't had a chance to read "Allerleirauh" please - I encourage you to take a chance. It's a fairy tale - something simple and nice. In the years of war and tribulation, people found solace in f...
