The big pink Bible bus is rolling off, leaving nothing but the memories. I loved this book and loved this tour. I enjoyed all the interviews, particularly. And I especially appreciate Ms. Law playing along as she’s said she’s kind of a private, shy type of person. It was good of her to make herself [...]

Here we are in the third day of the Savvy tour already. We had so many interesting interviews with Ingrid, I’m sure she’s exhausted. I’m amazed she’s still able to smile at us all from her author picture. Oh. Um. Never mind. Everyone loved the book. It’s always fun to do a tour on a book [...]

First things, first. I have no excuse, Noel warned me that the email Feedburner sent to subscribers last Friday had a bad link in it. I have no idea why I didn’t think it was necessary to send out a follow-up email, warning you to get your links off the site and not out of the email. [...]

Day one of the Savvy road trip has finally arrived. I loved this book and I even like that we’re doing the tour so late in the day. I mean, Savvy is going to be a movie, it’s been on the NY Times best seller list. It’s won a Newbery Honor. So, like, duh. It’s [...]

So here is a link that readers and marketers can chew on. The Baen Free Library. What do you think? Readers, will you read there? Authors, would you like your publisher to follow suit?

I meant to introduce the new blogs this past weekend, but with Easter, things were a little busier than usual. But I’d like to welcome four new bloggers onto the tour. I’ve been enjoying their posts and am happy to have them aboard. Please go and visit them when you get a chance. They are: [...]

Now here’s a smart marketer. Stephen Meier, author of Katka, a novella. This fellow has done everything right from a marketing standpoint. His book trailer is great–long book trailers aren’t effective, I’ve heard. (I don’t like them, so I believed that when I read it.) Meier’s trailer is short and provocative. I love the picture [...]

Here’s a post on blog tours for any of you authors who want to set up your own. I think the beauty of the kind of tour Karina Fabian is speaking of–one that goes over the course of time with one blog participating one day and the next blog participating the next day–is that the author [...]
