The Tour
I’m organizing a bookstagram tour for Empire of Ache & Ruin by Diana A. Hicks, an Adult Contemporary Romance novel. There are 15 spots on this tour which will run from May 6th to May 23rd, 2025. Posts will consist of reviews and spotlights. Hosts will receive a print copy (US only) to read/review as well as use for an aesthetic Instagram photo. If you prefer an ebook copy that’s fine, too. You will need to take/create your own photo for these tours. Caption may be provided, but we encourage you to create your own.
