Coming Soon!   Join us for this tour from June 16 to July 11, 2025! Book Details: Book Title: BEYOND THE LIGHT OF THE WILLOW TREE by Daniel E. Chambrello Category: Adult Fiction (18 +), 268 pages Genre: Fantasy, Inspirational, Action & Adventure Publisher: The boy. The dragon. & the cherry tree swing. Release date: April 2025 Format available for review: print-softback (USA and Canada), ebook (EPUB, PDF), and audiobook (Audible download) internationally. Content Rating: PG: There are approximately ten violent scenes in the Roman timeline but not they are not graphic at all, and one kiss between characters. Book Description: In the deepest dark, there is only light. With each new generation, precious souls are called upon to serve a higher purpose. But each calling is forged in challenge and fear, and every journey hinges upon the choices made. In present-day North Carolina, Gabriel is devoted to his wife, Jennifer, and their five rambunctious kids... until the day tragedy strikes the Connor household, setting in motion a chai of events that will transform humanity. In ancient Rome, young Gabrielus leaves his humble village to become a protector of the emperor. He dreams of bringing glory and wealth to his family and returning a hero to his love, Jennamine. But the path ahead is steeped in grief and vengeance, and Gabrielus will be forced to make a choice that echoes through the ages. One soul. Infinite journeys. A universe of possibilities.  Meet the Author: At the base of a mountain in Connecticut sits a peach orchard in a quiet neighborhood. Here, hawks soar high as coyotes slink among the trees, leaving trails of wisdom and mystery. In the early hours, the veil between worlds is as thin as the morning mist. This is where Daniel E. Chambrello sits and thinks. As the youngest of five, Daniel is a born observer, preferring solitude as he questions everything from consciousness to Catholic doctrine. While journeying and experiencing love, heartbreak, and so much in between, Daniel’s knowing has expanded, and his questions have grown deeper. When a good friend handed him a book by a spiritual teacher, it was a life-defining moment, confirming all Daniel had known as truth and further kindling a story that he’d felt called to write since childhood. In this ethos, Daniel’s first novel sprung forth—a spiritual guidebook weaving together love, adventure, and truths that are best felt rather than described.

At New Shelves Books, I regularly recommend iRead Book Tours to authors and publishers because Lauren and her team consistently overdeliver. Their well-organized tours provide impactful blog features, reviews, and social media buzz that go beyond expectations. For a book tour that truly makes a difference, iRead is the way to go!
- Keri-Rae Barnum, Book Marketing Expert, New Shelves Books Not only does Lauren do a fantastic job of organizing the tour and communicating with you at every step of the way, but I found the tour hosts that signed up for her tour to be of a higher caliber. The reviews that I got on this tour were thoughtful and well-written and I noticed an uptick in sales during this tour. I also appreciated the fact that many of her tour hosts that wrote reviews posted them on multiple sites, not just on their blog or Instagram account. This is invaluable to an author. I highly recommend Lauren and iReads Book Tours. - Allyson Rice, author of The Key to Circus-Mom Highway
