  Join us for this tour from June 22 to July 10, 2026! Book Details: Book Title: Best Friends: The Orion Sessions by Cheryl DaVeiga Category: Middle-Grade Fiction (Ages 8-12), 144 pages Genre: Contemporary Middle-Grade Fiction Publisher: Waterhole Productions LLC Release date: April 12, 2026 Format available for review: print-softback (USA only), ebook (GIFTED KINDLE, EPUB, PDF, Book Funnel download, NetGalley download), audiobook (Audible download, MP3) internationally) Will send print books out: USA Tour dates: June 22 to July 10, 2026 Content Rating: G. Written for middle-grade audience. Book Description: At thirteen, Orion Casey has stopped singing—and it’s not because she stopped loving it. After the girls everyone follows start talking about her instead of to her, she’s finished performing for anyone. Then the messages start. Anonymous. Encouraging. A little too perfectly timed. Someone’s been watching her—really seeing her—and part of Orion can’t help hoping it’s the one person she wishes would notice her back. The texts give Orion confidence she didn’t know she had—enough to discover songwriting and a new way back to her music. But as friendships shift and secrets surface, Orion begins to wonder: when the way you see yourself keeps changing based on who’s looking at you, how do you figure out who you really are? Best Friends launches The Orion Sessions, a contemporary middle-grade series about friendship, self-confidence, and learning what it means to sing—and live—for yourself. Also Available for Review:  Book Details: Book Title: Stolen: The Orion Sessions by Cheryl DaVeiga Category: Middle-Grade Fiction (Ages 8-12), Genre: Contemporary Middle-Grade Fiction Publisher: Waterhole Productions LLC Release date: July 15, 2026 Format available for review: ebook (PDF) Tour dates: June 22 to July 10, 2026 Content Rating: G. Written for middle-grade audience. Book Description: She finally found her voice. Now someone's stolen it. Thirteen-year-old Orion Casey arrives at songwriting camp ready to write, perform, and finally belong. Then she meets Ava Rae: TikTok-famous, confident, and exactly the kind of songwriter Orion hopes to be someday. When Ava Rae asks Orion to co-write a song for a real music producer, it feels like the universe finally has her back. It doesn't. The morning after their late-night session under the stars, Orion wakes up to a post blowing up on social media. Ava Rae has uploaded their song — every chord, every lyric, every melody that was more Orion's than hers — and claimed it as her own. Orion's name? Nowhere. And the notebook with all the proof? Gone. Now Orion is up against something she never saw coming. She's been written out of her own story. And in a camp full of kids who worship Ava Rae, who's going to believe her? Stolen is Book 2 of The Orion Sessions — a fast-paced trilogy for music lovers and anyone who's ever trusted the wrong person or had to fight to be believed.  Meet the Author: Cheryl DaVeiga grew up loving music—singing, writing, and dreaming in melodies. Following that passion was never framed as a real option, so she chose a path that felt defined and practical, building a career in accounting and eventually becoming a partner at a national firm. Years later, she found her way back to the music she had set aside, becoming an award-winning songwriter recognized by ASCAP and ultimately discovering the joy of writing children’s books. Across her seven picture books—stories infused with music, humor, and sing-along joy—her work has received award recognition from the Eric Hoffer Book Awards, Mom’s Choice Awards (Gold), Purple Dragonfly Book Awards, and Literary Titan. But even as she wrote those playful stories, she knew there was another one waiting—one rooted in the girl she used to be and the voice she had tucked away. That story became The Orion Sessions, a middle-grade trilogy for kids growing up in the real world—with music, of course. The Orion Sessions is the series Cheryl wishes she'd had when she was twelve: full of music, friendship, mistakes, courage, and the journey of reclaiming the voice she’d hidden to fit in. Cheryl lives in Tucson with her partner, Doug, and they spend summers in New Jersey. She still sings… like all the time. connect with the author: website ~ facebook ~ instagram ~ X ~ bookbub ~ goodreads Tour Schedule:

  Join us for this tour from June 15 to July 10, 2026! Book Details: Book Title: A Soul on Trial: A Marine Corps Mystery at the Turn of the Twentieth Century by Robin R. Cutler Category: Adult Non-Fiction (18+), 365 pages Genre: Literary Non-Fiction Publisher: View Tree Press Release date: May 20, 2026 Formats Available for Review: print (softback, - USA only), ebook (EPUB, PDF) Tour dates: June 15 to July 10, 2026 Content Rating: PG +M: The M rating is because the book is about whether or not a young man committed suicide. There is a brawl and an autopsy described in detail but minimal violence, no sex no abuse, adultery or abortion. Book Description: SECRETS, SPIRITS, SCANDAL AND A NATION WATCHING When Marine Corps Lieutenant James N. Sutton died in a brawl in 1907, his mother, his sister and his ghost all challenged the Navy’s suicide verdict. By 1909, Rosa Sutton’s crusade to save her son’s soul from the stigma of a mortal sin had become a national sensation. Marine combat hero Judge Advocate Henry Leonard would prove the perfect foil for Mrs. Sutton. But soon newspapers across America weighed in on “one of the most remarkable inquiries of its kind” in the history of the Navy; millions of citizens now had a stake in Rosa’s cause. What really happened to “Jimmie” Sutton? To many people, that became less important than his mother’s right to know. This ghost story, murder mystery and military courtroom drama riveted the nation throughout the sweltering Annapolis summer of 1909. As H. Michael Gelfand wrote in the Journal of American History, A Soul on Trial depicts ”one of the most remarkable cases of a civilian challenging the power of the U.S. military in American history . . .it is a testament to the power that one ordinary individual can wield when determined to seek justice.” That power came from Rosa Sutton’s First Amendment rights.  Meet the Author: Historian, filmmaker, and blogger, Robin Cutler has worked outside of academia from most of her professional career. Highlights have included working for the National Endowment for Humanities when author Lynne Cheney was chairman, co-producing an Emmy-nominated dramatic series for PBS, working with several Native American tribes to chronicle their histories and culture on film and video, publishing three nonfiction books; lots of information about these books including Galleries of images and blog posts can be found at https://robinrcutler.com/ connect with the author: website ~ X ~ facebook ~ goodreads Tour Schedule:

Coming Soon!   Join us for this tour from June 8 to June 26, 2026! Book Details: Book Title: Nothing North of Delmar (a Novel) by Ellen Barker Category: Adult Fiction (18+), 344 pages Genre: Literary Novel Publisher: She Writes Press Release date: April 2026 Formats Available for Review: print (print - softback / USA), ebook (PDF) Tour dates: June 8 to June 26, 2026 Content Rating: PG-13: No sex, little profanity, but themes of racism and adulting. Book Description: It's 1976, the Bicentennial year and a watershed moment in America. The draft, the Vietnam war, Woodstock, and the Summer of Love are long gone. Tie-dye is out, and everyone has cut their hair. The Civil Rights Act has passed, the Equal Rights Amendment is just a few states from ratification, Roe v. Wade is firmly enshrined, and closet doors are creaking open. The sixties have changed the world. Only they haven’t, as Novelle is about to find out. At this moment, she arrives in St. Louis to start graduate school in economics, a clear-cut field of mathematic problem sets with answers. Except, it’s not. Almost immediately, she discovers that Delmar Boulevard is a Great Wall of China separating St. Louis into Black North and white South, and that economics is the mortar between the bricks. She gets caught up in unraveling a plan to “take back” a Black neighborhood that has leaked over the divide. By the time she finishes her degree, she is getting hate mail and death threats. But she’s also come into her own as a force for change. A satirical, witty look at a slice of history that still resonates today.  Meet the Author:

Three lies. One deadly reckoning. When Oliver Troika meets Danielle Hampdon at a hot Manhattan nightclub, the attraction is immediate – and unsettlingly perfect. Oliver is handsome, charming, and newly wealthy; Danielle is poised, intelligent, and born into one of Park Avenue’s most illustrious families. They come from vastly different worlds, yet their connection feels inevitable. Not everyone is convinced. Ivan Abelov, Oliver’s childhood friend and business partner, senses something off about Danielle. Or is it wishful thinking born of jealousy? And the more Oliver falls under her spell, the more determined Ivan becomes to uncover who thinks she really is – even if he has to invent the truth about her. What begins as unsupported suspicion soon escalates into a dangerous game of secrets and deception, where every revelation raises the stakes – and every move risks exposing a truth that could ruin them all. In a story that echoes Othello, suspicion is carefully sown, and once it takes hold, it threatens to unravel everything. Who can be trusted? Who is hiding behind a carefully constructed past? And how far will each of them go to protect the life they’ve built? FOR SHE HAD EYES is a gripping suspense novel about ambition, loyalty, and the fatal cost of believing the wrong person – right up to its startling final pages.

"iRead Book Tours has been the most effective and rewarding marketing experience we've had. We’ve explored multiple strategies and worked with other virtual tour companies, but none delivered the exposure and quality of reviews that iRead provided. Our only regret is allocating too much of our marketing budget elsewhere. The iRead Book Tours team are true professionals; organized, efficient, and an absolute pleasure to work with. They made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. We highly recommend iRead Book Tours to any author or publisher looking to make a real impact." - Robyn Fonrose, Marketing Manager, New Classics Publishing
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
Lauren Carr's iReads Book Tour is amazing! She gets real results. Not only did I get thousands of new eyes on my series, but I grew my following on all social media channels as well. Lauren has a dedicated group of reviewers and bloggers who are competent and reliable - no more wasted ARCs mailed out with no results.
