Andrea is here on the next stop of her virtual book tour in celebration of the release of the second book in her enthralling suspense series about the Forensic Instincts criminal investigations team.

Bookish Rants or Raves: ARC-gate at ALA
Last week, and it is difficult to believe it was already more than a week ago, the American Library Association held its Annual Conference in the land of Mickey Mouse, Anaheim, California.
And there was a kerfuffle on YouTube about ARCs and who should be able to pick up how many on the exhibit hall floor.
Two bloggers at The Lost Lola posted a 22-minute video, since retracted, detailing their incredibly awesome book haul at ALA. They scored, and I think scored is a fair assessment, two copies of everything possible, including a lot of books they had no personal interest in.
A librarian who blogs at Stackedbooks questioned on Twitter how authors would feel “knowing a librarian couldn’t get an arc of their book at ALA, but a blogger picked up multiple copies.”
The Lost Lolas have printed an impressive and well-thought out response and clarification, but …
