Virtual NBtM Book Tour: SHADOWS OF DAMASCUS BY LILAS TAHA


Thanks for your interest, but this tour is now full.

Goddess Fish Promotions is organizing a Virtual Name Before the Masses Tour for Shadows of Damascus by Lilas Taha, a Contemporary New Adult Soft Romance book available now from Soul Mate Publishing.

The tour will run every Tuesday for 25 weeks starting on April 1, 2014, and Lilas is available for guest post and interviews. A PDF copy of the book is available for review in conjunction with a guest post or interview.

Lilas will be awarding a $25 Amazon or Barnes and Noble GC to a randomly drawn commenter during the tour. Congratulations to Mallory Ann.


Shadows of Damascus is a character-driven fictional novel with an usual plot unfolding in the Middle East and America’s dairy land. The story is derived from current events and speaks of a softly developing relationship between a man and a woman, worlds apart.

Back home in Wisconsin, reclusive Iraq war veteran Adam Wegener receives a mysterious letter asking for payment of a debt. He figures the letter came from the Syrian interpreter, Fadi Jabir, who saved his life while they were on patrol in Iraq five years earlier. Fadi is one of the opposition leaders protesting against his government in Syria. Because of a brutal crackdown, Fadi is desperate to get his sister, Yasmeen, to safety. How can Adam help? And what does he have to do to honor his commitment to the man who saved his life?

To escape the lunacy of a merciless regime, Yasmeen is forced to make a difficult decision that lands her in America with Adam, hoping to return home once it is safe. Yasmeen quickly learns she staked her future and security on a man who is plagued by his own demons, suppressing a violent upbringing by an abusive father, and suffering from PTSD nightmares. Can Yasmeen survive life with this traumatized stranger? And will she find a way to move forward in life with the atrocities she had witnessed in her homeland?

Virtual Book Tour: SHADOWS OF DAMASCUS BY LILAS TAHA

Goddess Fish Promotions is organizing a Virtual Book Tour for Shadows of Damascus by Lilas Taha, a Contemporary New Adult, Soft Romance book available January 15, 2014 from Soul Mate Publishing.

The tour will run February 3, 2014 to March 28, 2014. Prewritten guest blogs or interviews, along with promo posts and reviews, are available. Please specify which type of stop you’d like when you ask to host this tour. The book is available in PDF format for review.

Prizes for the tour are as follows:
• One randomly chosen commenter will win a $50 Amazon/BN.com gift card.
• Two randomly chosen hosts will each receive a $25 Amazon/BN.com gift card.


Bullet wounds, torture and oppression aren’t the only things that keep a man—or a woman—from being whole.

Debt. Honor. Pain. Solitude. These are things wounded war veteran Adam Wegener knows all about. Love—now, that he is not good at. Not when love equals a closed fist, burns, and suicide attempts. But Adam is one who keeps his word. He owes the man who saved his life in Iraq. And he doesn’t question the measure of the debt, even when it is in the form of an emotionally distant, beautiful woman.

Yasmeen agreed to become the wife of an American veteran so she could flee persecution in war-torn Syria. She counted on being in the United States for a short stay until she could return home. There was one thing she did not count on: wanting more.

Is it too late for Adam and Yasmeen?

Shadows of Damascus to be released by Soul Mate Publishing mid January, 2014.
