M. Todd Gallowglas

Blog Tour De Force

Welcome to Blog Tour de Force Masquerade!ย  I hope youโ€™re having fun because I surely am.

Iโ€™ve taken over Toddโ€™s blog!ย 
Yep, thatโ€™s right.ย  Itโ€™s mine for the day.ย  I think Iโ€™ll settle in with a good book and let you guess who I am.ย  Take your time, I have all day.

Want to know what Iโ€™m reading, with my feet up, chillinโ€™ on Toddโ€™s blog?ย  Well, I would have read First Chosen, but I read that weeks ago.ย  Absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.ย  I read his reviews for this book.ย  Have you?


And some older reviews:

You guys lucked out with him joining this tour.ย  Youโ€™re so lucky that heโ€™s giving away a FREE eBook to every person who comments to this post.ย And sends me wine.

Ok, ok, I lied about the wine part.ย  But seriously, he is giving away some other free stuff too.ย  A proof copy of the print version of his novel First Chosen along with a special book from his storytelling cape or cloak from Renaissance Faires.ย  I hear both are pretty rare!


Plus, every guess automatically enters you in the drawing to win a free Kindle.ย  After this tour, you are definitely going to need it.

Bottles of red wine sent to me get you extra entries.

Okay, Iโ€™m lying again.ย 
But you know, a girl can never have enough wine.ย  Oops, did I give away who I am?ย  Person!ย I meant to say person can never have enough wine. #oops

Where was I? Oh yeah, kicked back with Stevie (thatโ€™s a hint) reading Elena Grayโ€™s Widow Maker.ย This book is CRAZY GOOD! And itโ€™s not the only incredible book on this tour.ย  After this, Iโ€™m hopping back on the Ann Charles bandwagon.ย  I hear weโ€™re going through Deadwood again.

Have I given you enough hints?ย  No?ย Come on, I canโ€™t tell you everything about me.ย  Okay, just a few more.ย  Did you know that Iโ€™m a sucker for love?ย  Iโ€™m not really into scaryโ€ฆseriously, Iโ€™m not.ย  I know I know, itโ€™s close to Halloween and this is Masqueradeโ€ฆI canโ€™t help it.ย  I live love scenes, hot guys who make beautiful music, and always come through in the end.

Nothing scary about that.

Hmmm, what else?ย 

Music! Canโ€™t forget that! As much as I love Stevie, I donโ€™t go anywhere withoutmy iPod.ย  Anywhere!ย  โ€œThe Black Oneโ€ is probably the mostimportant accessory I carry.ย  Without it, nothing would ever get written. And thatโ€™s enough for you.ย  No more hints.ย  Start posting so you can get First Chosen for FREE. (just one more hint, FREE is my favorite word)

And donโ€™t forget to leave your email address.ย  Leave it like this so the SPAMBOTS donโ€™t get ya : haha at trickedyou dot com

Well, I gotta go before Todd gets back.ย  I hope he doesnโ€™t mind the chocolate cookie crumbs and coffee stain I left on his blog.

See ya!

  1. If you do happen to get any of that wine, would you mind bringing it over to Elena Gray’s blog and sharing? Commenters have been taunting me with offers of alcohol and even #chocolate but none have come through for me…

  2. Bookblogger says:

    I will guess Amber Scott has abducted this blog. First Chosen was a very cool book and it would be awesome to have a unique copy and a super unique bookmark.

  3. Pinky says:

    Hi there,

    I featured you on my blog post today, trying to help get the word out for you. I posted it on Pinky’s Pub facebook page too and will post on Smashwords facebook page a little later today. I don’t want it getting buried in the posts there by posting this early.

    I am going to guess that it’s Belinda Boring behind the mask. Wild guess, but a guess, lol.

    Thanks for the fun and the fabulous book!

    I have no official guess just yet. I need to do a little digging and see if I can figure something out.

    Excited about the book tho!

  5. hi Todd! it’s either Amber or Belinda masquerading as you. Amber more likely. c”,)

    making a guess and here’s looking forward to receiving a copy of your book! thank you very much.

    Hey, person trapped at Elena’s blog, I will definitely share the wine. Maybe the two of us can convince Todd’s guests of the importance of sending wine!

  7. Elizabeth says:

    Well, this may be a really wild guess, but I am going to guess that M. Todd Gallowglas is masquerading as himself. I’m running out of people! However, I may have to change my mind later. I checked out the “First Chosen” preview on Amazon. It sounds great and I can’t wait to read it.

  40. I like to visit each blog just to confuse everyone.

    I do love me some wine. (ya know, when I’m not having a martini).

    Wow, y’all must think I’m a lush. Hey, I have small children. You’d drink, too.

    At least the work is #somewhatcoherent.

    Thanks for the fun and the freebies!

  50. Yes, I think Amber might be lurking here trying to fool everyone. Then again, it’s done so well, it could be one of the other ten authors! #Doh

    I also think it’s Amber because I’m reading Irish Moon as we speak so I know she loves romance and hot men, and since I got this book for free from her, I also know she likes to give away free ebooks! I hope I’m right:)
    I am also excited to read Todd’s book, so this is a win-win all the way for me!

    I am in despair! Here I was having a jolly time at the Masquerade and finely guessing the true identity of the mystery blog takeroverer! Ha! – and then my guess crumbles into dust as I realize it cannot be Ann Charles and once again I realized I am among the clueless, no superiority to lord over all, no bragging rights to my great intellectual achievement realizing I will therefore once again have to resort to bribery. So mystery takeroverer, just fill out the form and leave your name and address and I will happily forward the best bottle of red available at my corner 7-11 direct to your door. Not falling for it huh, well I will make another guess are you Lacy Weatherford? If not I will still be drinking a steaming cuppa with a splash of Irish cream in your honor and toasting you with a baby Snickers for the fun you have provided me this evening and to Todd, thank you so much for participating in this fun Masquerade and for your incredible generosity in sharing First Chosen with us. I look forward benefiting from you kindness with the reading of what sounds like a very good book.

    I love the Blog Tour de Force!! This is the 4th I’ve participated in. I’m on a very limited income, so this is a great way to get some free books and I’ve discovered some great new authors I didn’t know before!! Looking forward to discovering more authors through this Tour!
