Hosting First Book Tour for Bloggers: Rising Shadow

Hi ladies & gents! I am so excited! This will be my first time hosting a book tour for bloggers. I am honored to help promote Jacquelyn Wheeler, a talented and creative self-published author. So far she has written the first two books in her Soterian series, Rising Shadow and Merger. The first book that will travel through the U.S. will be Rising Shadow.

______________________________________________

Author Information:

Jacquelyn has worked as a professional writer since 1991. She has received numerous awards for her technical writing, but creative writing was always her passion. After writing poetry, children's stories, and screenplays, Jacquelyn embarked on The Soterians series, a series of five fantasy novels for young adults. You can read the first novel, Rising Shadow, for free on her web site (http://www.soterians.com) or purchase the paperback. As an advocate for volunteerism and service, Jacquelyn donates 20% of her royalties to the charities listed on her site. In her spare time, Jacquelyn enjoys martial arts, triathlons, skiing, playing music, and volunteering. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and their daughter.

Summary:
Ashlyn Woods just transferred to one of the most beautiful campuses on the west coast, where she can't wait to start her life over as a normal college student. But her plans take an unexpected turn when she discovers that she is a Soterian: a person who develops amazing powers when the balance of good and evil shifts too far in evil's favor. Soon she and the other Soterians are studying martial arts and learning to use their powers to prevent California from being plunged into chaos. But they quickly discover that they're up against a much more dangerous enemy than they anticipated. And when Ashlyn meets Kai, a devastatingly gorgeous guitar player, she realizes she must sacrifice more than she ever imagined.
