The Becoming Kerry tour wrapped up on Friday with 2 posts—an exclusive DELETED SCENE from the book over at Kimmers’ Erotic Book Banter, and a CHARACTER INTERVIEW with Ewyn and his mum, Erin at Wicked Reads.

Here are some awesome review that rolled in at the week’s end as well:

~* 5 STARS from Diverse Reader *~

“by the end I was in absolute awe of Kelling’s beautiful story of becoming who you were always meant to be. She has a way of writing characters who are larger than life but so real you can’t help but become completely engrossed in their stories.

Becoming Kerry is a truly stunning book that is at times brutally painful and then is sweepingly romantic and happy… Do yourself a favor and be sure to pick up this book. It’s inspiring, emotional, and will leave you with such a strong sense of peace and happiness.”

~* 5 HEARTS from Trio at Kimmers’ Erotic Book Banter *~

“Lynn Kelling always presents such beautifully complicated, muti-layered characters…
I really appreciate the message Kelling sends in about duality, the image we present to society and what we are willing to do to make ourselves happy. In the journey of finding ourselves, and deciding to be honest to our true nature, what are we willing to give up?
Kelling has created a thought provoking, powerful story that will stay with me for some time.”

~* 5 STARS from Shannan at Wicked Reads *~

“Becoming Kerry is an angst filled, emotional ride. I absolutely loved this book.”

~* 5 STARS from Ruthie at Wicked Reads *~

“What an absolutely fabulous book. I devoured it from start to finish – and definitely plan on reading it again soon.”

Thanks so much to all of the blogs for hosting me this week and for the readers who came along for the ride! It was a lot of fun and it really energized me to get back to writing my current WIPs. I’ve already written about 4k words in just the past two days on my prequel spinoff novel to Bare with Rune, Oliver & Jackson! I’m at almost 59k words and nearing the end fast! My next release will be Life From Nothing, a stand-alone novel with a MMM love triangle. So excited to share it with you!

Holy cow, my book of endless edits has finally been released! I really am so happy to set this beauty free to venture out into the world. I tried my best to do right by Kerry and Ewyn, but Kerry in particular. It wasn’t easy but it was definitely worth all of the hard work. I really hope my readers enjoy it as much as I have.

On Day 3 of the Blog Tour, I’m at On Top Down Under Book Reviews with the post Loss—Mine, Theirs and Ours. It’s got some super-personal insight into how the phenomena of loss effected me during the editing of this book, and why, and how it changed my outlook on what it needed to be. I hope you’ll give it a read.

~* 4.5 Stars from Joyfully Jay Reviews *~

“This book stayed with me after I finished it as my mind would go back and trace how Kelling pulled all of the complicated parts together to create the story of Kerry. This is a unique and well written story of living outside the carefully constructed lines that people want to put you in.It’s recommend for fans of Kelling and for anyone seeking a character finally being able to live their truth.”

Wow, Day 2 of the Becoming Kerry tour has been amazing! I’m chatting with Kerry in an interview over at Sinfully Gay Romance Book Reviews, to catch up about Kerry’s life following the conclusion of the book (but I promise it’s spoiler-free! Just some fun tidbits to tease everything still to come…)

I also just saw that Becoming Kerry is #85 in the top 100 Bestsellers on the Amazon Transgender Romance list and that’s so freaking cool!! I’m so, so excited to share the book with my readers tomorrow and am counting down the minutes.

There was also an incredible review of the book posted over at Bending the Bookshelf…

“Becoming Kerry is a book so wonderful, it is actually overwhelming in the depth of its intensity… Kerry spoke to my heart, reflecting so much of my own struggle, while Ewyn . . . well, he is precisely my idea of a knight-in-shining armor, the kind of true love that only comes around once in a lifetime. I cannot recommend this enough.”

Please go read the full thing at this link. My tremendous thanks to Sally for the kind feedback!
