We want to thank everyone who was involved with Sarah Armstrong-Garner’s launch for Drifting: Book Two of the Sinking Trilogy. The book would not have reached #1 bestseller status in its Amazon category without you!

Thank you to everyone who shared the cover, came to the Facebook Launch Party, participated in the blog tour (yes, reading the posts counts!), or is going to one of Sarah’s in-person author events.

But a huge thank you to all the bloggers who hosted a stop on Drifting’s blog tour.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

The price has already been changed to $4.99 for the ebook; however, Amazon and a few other sites have yet to update their prices. Get your copy while the $2.99 sale lasts!

And, of course, we would love to hear what you think of this lovely new addition to the Sinking Trilogy.

Happy Reading!

In fact, here is the full blog tour schedule:

(Each of these links will be updated as the posts go live.)

Then, of course, we cannot forget Drifting’s Online Launch Party!

This party will be held the same day as Drifting’s release, Thursday, April 26th, from 7-9 p.m. PST. (Other time zones: 8-10 MST, 9-11 CST, and 10-12 EST.)

{RSVP right here!}

We have over 20 prizes to give away to celebrate Drifting’s debut, and the grand prize happens to be a Kindle Fire 7″ and both ebooks of Sinking and Drifting.

We hope to see you there!

And now we come to the most important part of this post. To kick off our blog tour, we want to introduce you to Sarah Armstrong-Garner with an interview conducted by our very own Jebraun Clifford.

  1. So many authors I’ve talked to said they can’t remember a time when writing wasn’t part of their life. When did the writing bug first get to you?

“In elementary school. With help from my mother and an old typewriter, I wrote plays for my fellow classmate to perform during recess and elaborate stories for class assignments.”

  1. I love it! Did the urge to write stick with you all through school?

“Daydreaming became part of my routine as I drifted into middle school and high school. Photography became an outlet to express myself in high school. Entering competition and fairs, I became obsessed with everything photography, and the dark room was my home away from home.I would submerge the photo paper and watch as the image appeared as gently as a ghost would. Stories fluttered in the back of my mind as black and white faces peered back at me.”

  1. Photography is such a great medium for storytelling. What else did you do at this time?

“Eventually, I found myself in a film class and working at a movie theater.I would spend my day scooping popcorn, threading the films for the patrons to watch, and doing my homework between shows.”

Thank you for joining us today as we celebrate the second book in the Sinking Trilogy, Drifting!

We have a delicious announcement!

Drifting by Sarah Armstrong-Garner is now on our publishing schedule.

Hurray!

For those of you who have eagerly anticipated the next book in the Sinking trilogy, we are pleased to announce a tentative 2018 release date.

And now, an interview with the author herself.

  1. What are you most excited about Drifting’s release?

I am most excited about everyone getting to read how Jocelyn and Aidan are adapting to their ever-changing lives and finding out who they really are.

  1. What was the most difficult part about writing Drifting?

The most difficult part was allowing the story to change. When I sat down to write Drifting, I had an idea of how the story would end, but the characters and situations changed. Once I got out of their way, the story began to bleed onto the page.

  1. Can you give us a hint of what to expect in book two?

We all have a dark side.

  1. In Sinking, Jocelyn’s medallion was more significant than she could fathom. Are there any trinkets, devices, or jewelry we should look for in Drifting?

The medallion is still a huge part of Jocelyn’s story and everyone else’s. It still holds the key to everything.

  1. Are Jocelyn’s memories still missing in Drifting? Or does she remember everything about her life under the sea?

She remembers almost everything in Drifting, but parts of her past are still kept from her, and the only way for her to find them is to awaken a monster.

Thank you, Sarah, for joining us today. We cannot wait to release your next book!

And we cannot wait to share it with our fabulous readers.

Happy Reading!

Today we are featuring Author Sarah Armstrong-Garner. We are so glad you’ve joined us to learn more about Sarah and her novel, Sinking. Let’s get started!

Welcome to the blog today, Sarah! What has been your favorite part of your journey with Sinking?

The first would be holding the finished book in my hands. It was amazing to be able to say, “That’s my book!” Then there was seeing Sinking in The Avid Reader’s bookstore window; that took my breath away.

What about your launch party for Sinking? How was that?

It was a lot of fun. We had the party at De Vere’s Irish Pub with a mermaid entertainer. We figured since Jocelyn began her journey in Ireland, it was only right to start ours as close to Ireland as we could get.

And how wonderful to have a mermaid! Do you plan to have mermaids at other events?

Yes, there will be a mermaid at a few of the other book signings.

Oh my goodness, that sounds like so much fun! How do you balance family life and writing?

It’s one of those things I have to make time for. Late nights, when everyone else is asleep, is my work time—or when my wonderful husband, friends, or family take the kids for a few hours. I don’t have a set schedule, but I’m not a person who does well with scheduling and organization. Just look at my desk.

Do you see yourself writing anything other than the Sinking trilogy? Or are those the only books you plan to write?

No, I have billion book ideas I hope to make into books. My only worry is running out of my lifetime before ideas.

Speaking of other books, have you started writing Drifting?

Drifting is a work in progress. I know I’m going to have a few sleepless nights, but my goal is to have it published this year.

Exciting news! I must know: Who is your favorite character in Sinking?

Anna. I love how in tune she is with her environment, and how well she knows herself.

Most stories have a message, even if it’s only a hint. Does Sinking have a message?

Anna puts it best. “I do not care what color your eyes are, my dear. Do not ever be ashamed of who you are.”

Thank you so much for joining us today, Sarah. We have enjoyed getting to know you better!

Sarah Armstrong-Garner will be at The Avid Reader Bookstore in Davis, California this Sunday from 2-3pm. She will read a selection from her latest release, answer any questions you may have, and sign your very own copy of Sinking.

Details are as follows: The Avid Reader Independent Bookstore, 617 2nd St., Davis, CA, March 13, 2016 from 2-3pm. (Need directions? No problem! Follow this link.)

And who knows? Will there be mermaid at this event? Or perhaps another? There’s only one way to find out! (Besides bribing Sarah with a speaking engagement or her favorite beverage, of course.)

We hope to see you there!

Back Cover Copy:

Jocelyn washes up on the shore of eighteenth century Ireland, alone, naked, and missing all of her memories. Taken in by a lonely old woman full of plots and schemes for the lovely yet enigmatic creature, Jocelyn knows only one thing. She longs for the sea with every ounce of her being. Yet it tried to kill her.

Aidan Boyd loves two things. His ship and the sea. When Jocelyn is thrust upon his vessel in the midst of his superstitious crew, he finds himself intoxicated by her—willing to give up everything for her. He soon finds he cannot live without her.

But something holds Jocelyn back. The whisper of another’s love. The embrace of water. Does she belong to this world? Or could Jocelyn possibly be from the sea?*

We hope you enjoy reading Sarah’s story as much as we enjoyed publishing it.

Happy Reading!
