Final stop on tour
It’s been a great blog tour! I hope you had a chance to follow it every day. The last official stop for Fixer is a review at My Reading Lounge.
Have you ever watched one of those movies that leave you sitting on the edge of your seat, wondering if your heart will stop beating before the end? Good thriller movies are like that, but this kind of suspense is extremely rare to be found on written pages.Well, Fixer has it.

Fixer gets two more reviews
I woke up today to two new excellent reviews for Fixer.
From reviewer Tracy James Jones:
Though I was somewhat prepared for a mind-boggling adventure, I was by no means ready for where this story would mentally take me.
From Bookish Things & More:
I do believe Corrigan Bain is my new fave character that Doucette has written. I used to love Adam from The Immortal books, but nope Corrigan is pretty epic.
Fixer is written in various points of view. Corrigan’s is the main one, but we are able to see into other characters that effect the events that transpire. It’s an awesome mystery with creepy factor.

Five star review
For today’s blog tour stop we get a new review of Fixer at Passion for Pages:
If it’s the only book you read in 2013 make it Doucette’s. You know you’ve just read a truly amazing book when not only do you finish it feeling more than satisfied but you walk away from it pondering huge questions.

The history of Fixer
Today’s blog tour entry is a guest post on the history of Fixer at Manic Readers.
If you want to have a strange experience, write a novel, put it in a box somewhere, and then go back and read it seven years later. Sure, what I was reading needed an edit, and it had to have some things rearranged a little bit, and it needed a new chapter or two, but as I went along I thought, this is actually really good.

Five star review
Today’s review Fixer comes from Fantasy World:
The author offers us an alternation of the past with the present and this seems to be very important for the case. It was great to discover bit by bit about our character and to be able to understand him better.

New interview
Today’s Fixer blog tour stop is with friend Dorothy, Writer on the Verge, who features an interview with me. Stop in and see answers to questions like which of my books were the most fun to write, and what question nobody ever asks me.

Blog tour continues
Well I hope you’re all too busy now reading that copy of Fixer you picked up over the last two days, but if you have a minute and can tear yourself away, a new review posted this morning as part of the blog tour.
Looking at it as fiction now, this story kept me interested the whole time. I liked how everything was “physically” possible that I had to keep reading to get the full explanation.

A new interview
For today’s blog tour stop I check in at Cafe Art Space to give an interview. We talk about things like what the definition of “first” novel is, how the Fixer cover was designed and whether I have any advice for new writers.
Stop over there today to see the whole interview.

Two more reviews today
The blog tour rolls along with two new Fixer reviews.
From reviewer John M Wills:
Throughout Fixer, the author interjects enough science to make the tale plausible. Additionally, Mr. Doucette adds just the right amount of suspense, mystery, and violence to keep the reader on edge.
From reviewer Sherry Gomes:
What I loved about this book was the character of Corrigan. In a world of mostly cookie cutter heroes, Corrigan is unique and fun to read. He’s not perfect. He isn’t smooth and suave. He seems like a guy who could be that new neighbor who just moved in next door, and I like him more than I’ve liked a male lead in a book in a long time.

Today’s stop
For this leg of the tour stop by the review website of Sarah Aisling where I talk about the science of Fixer.
The complexity of the book itself, along with the invented theories, invites the usual questions like: how did you come up with this? Or perhaps why did you come up with this, as it makes my head hurt? Well, I didn’t set out to do that. It just sort of happened.
Fixer press release
Also today, you can take a look at the press release for Fixer put out by The Writer’s Coffee Shop.
A skillful and arresting amalgam of sci-fi, horror, mystery, and romance that early reviewers are heralding as a “must-read,” Fixer defies the traditional conventions of genre fare.
