Every so often I take my books on blog tours, which includes writing guest blogs and engaging in interviews. The guest blogs in particular are a great way to find out more information about Stella's world. Here's a few you might find interesting. Special thanks to the blogs for hosting my books!

"llicit Magic is an enticing read with engaging characters and action-packed adventure that will have you biting your nails as you delve deeper into the mystery, madness and mayhem of Stella Mayweather’s life. Things aren’t always as they seem as secrets are revealed, the plot thickens, allies become enemies, friendships are tested, and love begins to blossom. Therefore, if you haven’t picked up a copy of Illicit Magic by Camilla Chafer then you’re definitely missing out."

"Illicit Magic kept me engaged from the start. I like Stella's character, and there is a great mystery about her that readers find out about in slow trickles, keeping up the suspense and intrigue... There's some unexpected twists that had me raising my eyebrows and turning the pages. It's a great opener to a series, and I enjoyed the many elements of this book."

"Honestly it took me a bit to get into this book. I almost gave up and said not my thing, but with the insistance of my best friend (who had read it previously) I kept reading and I am so glad that I pushed myself that little bit further into the book. Once I got past the third chapter, I devoured this book...I think the reason I loved Illicit Magic so much was that Stella made it easy for me to like her...Illicit Magic has some pretty amazing magical happenings including some pretty hilarious scenes where Stella is still learning to control her magic and some pretty freaky scenes filled with death and carnage. It's interesting to see two sides to magic, but it helps to realize that there are always the sides of good and evil."

"I loved that the author had a nice mix of supernatural creatues...I loved seeing Stella grow into a powerful witch and still be her girl next door self. The budding romance that brewed between Stella and Evan was almost magical. It was like they were under a spell all their own and I loved it...This was a great read and I highly recommend it to lovers of witch stories."

Review | Blog: Getting into my character's head
"This book had everything I loved a little romance, a little mystery, a little action, cute guys and some humor. I really like Stella. There was so much about Stella that you wanted to know about and she gradually let us know. It wasn't all at once but gradually as the story progressed so did Stella which was nice because it kept you reading and wanting to find out more about her past."
I was just doing a quick search and noticed that you quote my review on this post. Thank you so much! This means the world to me. :) Looking forward to reading the rest of the series (hopefully sometime in October - you know... after all the wedding stuff happens). Loved working with you!
