I didn't set out to do a blog tour in May, but I think I did one anyway. I just asked some friends about blogging at their sites, and inquired about offers I saw on some lists I belong to. And, viola!--a blog tour.
When a writer sets out to do a blog tour, I've heard the recommendation that the posts all be written ahead of time so all you have to do it turn them in. Excellent advice! That's not what I did. I've been coming up with blog subjects several times a week this month. Whew!
So, to avoid coming up with yet another blog subject, I'll refer the readers here to the posts I've made this month, plus some that were made about me.
Starting with a couple in April, and continuing through today, here they are--ta da!

A hemmmm, you handy, dandy retired travel agent here. Touring is not the same as traveling. However, very glad to see all the great reviews. I ordered my copy.

I didn't think I should rename the blog for one post, Pat. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for ordering!
Yikes, I got the last couple wrong! Today I'm at http://writerswhokill.blogspot.com/2011/06/author-kaye-george.html and yesterday was http://workingstiffs.blogspot.com/2011/05/mysteries-and-morals.html not Killer Characters! I'm confusing myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm exhausted reading about your blog tour, but I'm sure it will pay off!! Good luck with the book promotion.
ReplyDeleteI'm going into a coma just reading about your activities. Your organization and energy are impressive. Full speed ahead!
ReplyDeleteI bit off a little more than I realized! I'm exhausted, too! In fact, I haven't done much today. There's always tomorrow! (but no blogs tomorrow!)
