Guest Blogger: Gloria Weber

Welcome to launch of the Gaslight Demons Virtual Book Tour! I’m your hostess, Gloria Weber, author of Gaslight Demons, published by Morbidgames Publishing. Don’t be alarmed! Marion is quite aware of the fact I’m here. And, once again, I would like to say thanks to Marion for allowing me to guest post here.

Now that the shock has worn off, you might be asking yourself, “What is a virtual book tour?” Well, that’s what I plan on explaining today.

Let us get the obvious out of the way first: the goal of a virtual book tour is to get word out to people about a book. In this case, Gaslight Demons, published by Morbidgames Publishing, written by me, Gloria Weber. And yes, shameless plugging is also a part of it.

Now most of you might be familiar with the traditional book tours, where an author goes from book to bookstore, maybe even visiting a library or two. A virtual book tour is somewhat like that, but instead of bookstores the author pops up on other people’s blogs or websites. The author then spews some bit of wisdom and, when appropriate, shamelessly plugs her book.

No, I’m not doing it again. I know you got the idea by now.

So, why would any sane person do this? Generally, it is done as a form of cross promotion. I’m not just writing this post and forgetting about it. Everyone I know is hearing about me being here on this blog. And you, Marion’s faithful followers, are getting to hear about the Gaslight Demons Virtual Book Tour.

Quite simple, isn’t it?

With the explanation done, I must now return to shameless plugging. If you would like to know more about me, where I’ll be virtually book touring next, or where to buy Gaslight Demons visit: http://gloriaweber.wordpress.com If you are into pen and paper role playing games, you may also want to check out my publisher, Morbidgames Publishing: http://www.morbidgames.com/ Thank you, for your time.

Balance

Balance,
sometimes strong and stable
at other times fragile
the scales ready to be tipped
until you feel yourself
dropping like a stone
dark, emotional.

Balance,
sometimes fragile
self reflection, a mirror
look deep and long
at what really counts
then let go of the rest
and soar upwards again.

Balance,
precious treasured balance
stay with me.

One year...

How can just one year
be filled with a lifetime of emotions
Each day a pearl, shining, aglow,
nights alive with tender passion
Holding in a warm embrace
my love for you, forever

Dawn

Dreaming away
at break of dawn
Running outside
breathing fresh air
Watching horses
grazing dreamily
A pheasant strolling
through the meadow
Cat staring
then running away
to the other side
Good morning day...

Sun ~ for Marij

In the dark long hours before dawn
When brooding thoughts search your heart
Dragging you down, you feel alone
Then remember the new day's start

A glorious moment when the sun rises
Her golden rays tickling your face
Your life filled with sweet surprises
For now filtered in a painful haze

One day my sweet and gentle friend
Joy finds you, feelings all abloom
Tears float away and you'll mend
Shedding those tendrils of doom

Let the sun warm your skin, feel free...

Destiny

Life tries to rush by, so make sure you grab its tail and keep up. Don't let it get away from you, but take a firm grip and make it your own.
Only you can make your own destiny, nobody else...

My love

It's been a year
since your words first touched my heart
And in all this time
our souls have never been apart

You intrigued me,
called me onwards on our road
Taught me new things
and offered caring arms to hold

Thank you my Vman,
for a year of wonder, love and happiness
Onwards to 39 more
filled with laughter and sweet caress...
