Halloween is the perfect time for a fantasy novel to make the rounds and that's exactly why Mud and I thought Kestrel's Dance needed to make the rounds again this October. Below is the blog tour schedule for Kestrel's Dance and along with the rafflecopter for a $25 gift card that you'll find on the stop along the tour, the publisher has discounted the first book in the Mad Kestrel Series, Mad Kestrel to $.99. If ever there was a time to go on a pirate adventure--now's the chance! All our love to Misty on her tour!

The temptation of answers endangers her crew and might ruin her privateer status. Worse, taking on this passenger could thrust her into the clutches of the ever-watchful Danisoban mages who lie in wait for her to make the perfect mistake. Every decision is fraught with danger.

Kestrel, the pirate who can whistle up the wind, returns in book two of the Mad Kestrel Series.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Misty Massey is the author of Mad Kestrel, a rollicking adventure of magic on the high seas, Kestrel’s Voyages, a collection of short stories featuring those rambunctious pirates, and the upcoming Kestrel’s Dance. She is a co-editor of The Weird Wild West and Lawless Lands: Tales of the Weird Frontier, and was a founding member of Magical Words. Her short fiction has appeared in many anthologies and she’s working on a series of Shadow Council novellas for Falstaff Press featuring the famous gunslinger Doc Holliday. When she’s not writing, Misty studies and performs Middle Eastern dance and will, on occasion, surprise everyone with a batch of home-baked snickerdoodles. She’s a sucker for good sushi, African coffee, SC Gamecock football, and the darkest rum she can find. You can keep up with what Misty’s doing at mistymassey.com, Facebook and Twitter.
