I’m sitting in an airport on my way to Vancouver, bound for the Last Week of formal book-touring (insert maniacal laugh). Blogging may be summat spotty–but for today, you have a special treat: a guest blog from a young time-traveler. [g] Welcome Darby–take it away!
Hello Intrepid Artemis Voyageurs!
My name is Darby Christopher, and I’m massively excited to be here. See — my latest book is out, and I’m on a mondo-blog tour to celebrate, but this is the FIRST time I get to visit someone who is an expert in time travel.
If you’re here, I’m guessing you might have read about some of the adventures of Jamie and Claire. Most particularly Claire’s interesting proclivity for stepping through time.
Well, I’m here to tell you that I have had a few experiences of my own along those lines. Since the adventures in my very first book, A WALK THROUGH A WINDOW, I learned I’ve got a bit of a talent. Not really like Claire’s ability with standing stones, though. I’m more inclined to surf up close to the time-space continuum on a skateboard, and I’ve come to learn that walking through windows is something to be approached with extreme caution…
Anyway, today, I’m here to celebrate the launch of my new book. It’s called FACING FIRE.
FACING FIRE picks up the story of what happened to me after the magical summer that you may have read about in A WALK THROUGH A WINDOW. And if you haven’t read it, you can find out more about both the books – at www.kcdyer.com
Or better still, would you like to win a copy as a prize? If you leave comment on this post, Diana will put your name into a draw to win a signed copy of FACING FIRE. And if you actually link to this post somewhere else [like in another blog, or facebook post or even a tweet] we’ll put your name in for the draw for BOTH of my books.
Why not?
By the way, if you’re into looking for prizes, [especially if you like making videos], check out my blog HERE at Darby Speaks. I have an AMAZING contest going with some totally fantastic prizes. And if you like twitter, you can follow all the latest on the contest and the blog tour and launches @DarbyWalking.
See you there.
Thanks for having me, Diana!

Plenty of time to read about you, Darby!

Great to see you here Darby! Hope you're having a fun blog tour
Sounds fascinating, Darby. I'm curious to read your story. Thanks for popping in!
Can't wait to check these books out!
Dear Diana,
Glad that you're coming to the end of your book tour, you must be exhausted? Hopefully this means that you will back to your fabulous writing soon, and maybe we won't have to wait until 2012 for the next installment of Jamie and Claire.
I would love to win Darby's book, I am certainly interested in time travel. I am sure one day it will really happen. Haven't they just proved that time doesn't run in a straight line, so it isn't as far fetched as it sounds.
All the best
