Hi Nonnie, thank you for stopping by. Phil did a great job on this story.
Rox, thanks. you did a fabulous job!
Hi Phil, totally my honor. You are a powerful author. I am grateful to be a part of the RRBC team with you.
Thanks so much Nonnie. Your feedback means a lot!!
Thanks Nonnie. Your feedback means alot! And thank you Rox for your kind words.
Hey Phil. Glad to see you on tour. I read The Altar Boy and it was a page-turner. I especially liked the popular rock and roll songs of that time.
Hi Rox. You are a supportive member. Thanks for sharing.
Shirley, thank you for stopping by. Great to see you.
Thank you for the kind words Shirley! Remember it was based on a true story.
Hi Phil and Rox! These tours are great for introducing new reads! The Alter Boy sound like an exciting story, Phil. Thanks for hosting, Rox!
Hi Linda, thank you for visiting. So nice to see you. This a great idea by Nonnie Jules to share the information in such a positive manner.
Thanks for stopping by Linda!
Hi Phil,
It’s nice to see you on the tour. I have The Altar Boy on my TBR list.
Wishing you all the best in your writing career. Keep up the good work.

Hi Pat thank you for stopping by. Great to see you. The Altar Boy is a good read.
Thanks so much Pat!!
Hi Rox, great to see Phil here with this book. Whenever I see this book I think about how much I wanted to be an altar boy, but of course I couldn’t be one. I will have to read this and live vicariously through Phil.
Hi Robbie, awesome of you to stop by. It is worth reading. Take care.
Robbie, that is too funny!
Robbie that was a good one! That story took place back in the 1960’s. Now I think you can be an Altar “girl.” It’s never too late, or so they say.
Hi, Rox. Thank you for the welcome, and for hosting Phil.
I thoroughly enjoyed “The Alter Boy,” and when I see your picture, Phil, I often imagine a crooked halo hovering.
Hi Karen, so glad you stopped here. Glad you had the time.
Actually back then the halo was straight. It didn’t start to get crooked until high school and college. Thanks for stopping Karen!
Phil, great to see you and your book making the rounds on this tour. I absolutely loved ALTAR BOY, and being one myself for a few years, I related to much of what you wrote – especially those many times getting up at 5:00 am to serve in a weekday mass and then go to school afterward. The nuns never took pity. Good luck on the tour!
Rox, thank you for hosting and supporting fellow RRBC members.
John. always a delight to see you visit. Thank you so much. RRBC authors are a great group of authors/people. Love to support.
Okay brother, so you know what I’m talking about!! Thank you for stopping John!
Best to you, Phil- and Rox for hosting! Great author examples for the rest of us!
Lisa, kind of you for stopping by. Thank you
Thank you for stopping Lisa!
It’s so nice to see The Altar Boy here. I’ve read it already and am looking forward to reading Phil’s newest book. 🙂
Thanks so much Yvette. My 2nd book, At The Edge of The Stairs, going through an edit with 4Wills. Writing is so much easier than editing, isn’t it?
Congrats to Phil! Enjoy your spotlight! Thank you for hosting, Rox!
Hey Jan, thank you for stopping by. It is a good book if you have not read it yet.
Thanks for your support Jan!
Alter Boy is now on my Kindle. Thanks for hosting, Rox!
Charles thank you for stopping by for a visit. Hope you are well and safe.
Thank you Charles, I appreciate that!
I’ve read Phil Stephens and his book, “The Altar Boy.” Phil is a gifted storyteller with both humorous and poignant anecdotes. He takes you on a journey back to the times to the 60s. Thank you, Rox, for hosting this post as part of the blog tour.
WooHoo so glad you stopped by. Thank you
Thanks Linnea, I appreciate the support!
I just want to thank everyone that left a comment for The Altar Boy on this great blog tour! This group is so supportive and I will never forget it!! Also, remember The Altar Boy is based on a true story!
Phil, missed this leg of the tour, so sorry! Phil, I know I will relate to your book, after having gone through 14 years in Catholic schools! I enjoyed reading a bit about you in this blog and will buy your book this morning. I know I’ll enjoy going down a bit of memory lane to those days! Hope the tour was great for you!
Rox , thanks for hosting so graciously.
I am delighted you stopped by Maura Beth. Comeback often. I loved hosting Phil.
