Today I’m beyond excited to kick off The Goddess of Nothing At All Book Tour presented by Storytellers On Tour! This upcoming week we’ll be showcasing Cat Rector’s dark fantasy/Norse retelling debut, a book I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about. Those of you that know me also know I’m incapable of saying no to Norse flavored stories, and this one sounds right up my alley. And it also helps that Cat is one of the most awesome authors I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I’m very much looking forward to hearing what others think of this story of hers, so stay tuned, it’s going to be a busy and amazing week.
