The Writers Chatroom Hosts Dane's Virtual Book Tour

jordan-dane.jpgDuring the month of March, The Writers Chatroom (TWC) is proud to host its first virtual book tour. The cyber-tour will feature debut author Jordan Dane and her back-to-back releases with Avon HarperCollins: NO ONE HEARD HER SCREAM (April 08), NO ONE LEFT TO TELL (May 08), and NO ONE LIVES FOREVER (June 08).

TWC's Linda Hutchison had arranged the event after 'virtually meeting' Dane in MySpace. "I knew Jordan was doing everything we had ever thought of telling writers to do to market their wares. She had sold three novels to a major publishing house and three more in 2007. She also had a professional website and several very visible marketing strategies in place. She was definitely on my 'to be watched' list."

Publishers Weekly calls Dane's NO ONE HEARD HER SCREAM a "dynamite debut" and compares Dane's intense pacing to Lisa Jackson, Lisa Gardner, and Tami Hoag-romantic suspense that "crosses over into plain thriller country". Avon/HarperCollins bought Jordan Dane's debut suspense series in auction and is launching this eagerly awaited trilogy in a back to back publishing event April through June 2008. "We are pursuing an aggressive release schedule," says Avon publisher Liate Stehlik, "because we believe strongly in this author. Jordan Dane is poised to be the 'next big thing' in the romantic suspense genre."

Many of TWC's authors have reviewed advance copies of NO ONE HEARD HER SCREAM and will post their reviews and their own Q&A interviews with Jordan during March. And the event will culminate in a live moderated chat on March 30th. See dates and hosting authors links below.
