Acclaimed Seven-Time Author, JOAN C. CURTIS, Announces A Virtual Book Tour

ATHENS, Ga. - Aug. 20, 2016 - PRLog -- Joan C. Curtis, award-winning writer and seven-time author, and Promotional Book Tours is pleased to announce an exciting two-week Virtual Book Tour, featuring many popular fiction bloggers and readers, who will provide in-depth interviews with the author along with excerpts from her latest book, Murder on Moonshine Hill, the 2nd in the Jenna Scali Mystery series, releasing August 23, 2016 by MuseItUp Publishing.

Throughout the two-week tour, Joan shares tips, writing advice and her very own backstory as a way to learn more about her and her passion for writing.

Murder on Moonshine Hill follows the acclaimed release of Joan's first book in the series e-Murderer, depicting the life and adventures of Jenna Scali and a quirky cast of supporting characters.

About the story:

When Jenna decides to go to a friend's wedding, she expects to dredge up old secrets and old hurts, and she expects to see people from her past, but she doesn't expect to stumble on a dead body.

Jenna's friend is arrested. The wedding is canceled. And Jenna's tendency to stick her nose where it shouldn't be leads her into the path of the killer.

Set in the serene mountains of North Carolina Murder on Moonshine Hill is filled with suspense, humor, and wit.

According to reviewer Nelle Shehane -

"As an avid reader of mystery and suspense novels, I have discovered a new protagonist in Joan Curtis's Jenna Scali. She is tenacious, intelligent, curious, loyal and caring. Most endearing is her sense of humor even when in grave danger.

The plot is well written and suspenseful, keeping you guessing until the end. One of my main requirements in any book is that the characters are believable and they draw me into the action and make me care about them and what is happening to them. There are plenty of such characters to love in this book.

Location descriptions made me want to go to the North Georgia Mountains walk in the woods and chill out in a porch rocker and sip a good glass of wine."

The blog tour runs from Tuesday, August 23  - September 6, 2016. Followers of the tour can enter to win prizes, including a $25 Gift Card from Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

About the Author, Joan C. Curtis:

Joan is an award-winning writer who has published 7 books and numerous stories. In her mystery/suspense novel, The Clock Strikes Midnight, we meet Janie Knox, a tormented young woman who escaped her home and family after a jury convicted her stepfather of killing her mother. Her second mystery e-Murderer is the first in a series, starring Jenna Scali, a fairly normal young woman who happens to run into dead bodies. Again, this book captures the imagination of readers with all its twists and turns.

Both of Joan's books have won awards. The Clock Strikes Midnight won FIRST PLACE in Royal Palm Literary awards for Mainstream/Literary fiction and the Silver Medal in the Global eBooks Awards for 2015. The e-Murderer won FIRST PLACE in the Malice Domestic Grants Competition for new writers, and the Gold Medal in the Global eBooks Awards for 2016.

Joan has been an avid reader for as long as she can remember.  She reads all kinds of books, including women's fiction, mysteries, biography, and memoir.  Her passion as a reader lies closer to literary writing with a commercial bent. Joan says she writes books that she loves to read.

"I write about characters who remind me of myself at times and my sister at times, but never fully so. My stories are told from a woman's point of view. Characters drive my writing and my reading."

Having grown up in the South with a mother from Westchester County New York, Joan has a unique take on blending the southern traditions with the eye of a northerner.  She spent most of her childhood in North Carolina and now resides in Georgia.
