“When I turned the first page of Sages of Tachnir, I expected...
In my busy life as a book reviewer, author, and copywriter, I often have tasks that are finished well before their deadlines, like writing a review for a blog tour. Once the review is done, I create a “placeholder” in my planner or calendar.
A placeholder isn’t about the work itself; it’s the specific day I need to post the review, across platforms. This way, even though the review is ready, I won’t miss sharing it on the exact day assigned by the tour.
I’m excited to announce that Sages of Tachnir will be featured on a virtual book tour hosted by Black Phoenix Book Tours from August 12th through the 15th!
What to Expect
During these days, several book bloggers will share their honest reviews and features about Sages of Tachnir. I won’t know their thoughts until the posts go live, but I’m eager to see how the story resonates with new readers.
