Children’s Book Blog Tour

Well, you all are out of the chute strong this morning. It’s not yet noon, EST, and Feast is at number two on Technorati.

I love seeing that. We don’t know how it affects sales, but it’s a tangible proof that our blog posts are at least not dropping into a black hole somewhere. It’s [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I was talking about how editors like to promote their authors, and I mentioned a book by Kathryn Fitzmaurice–The Year the Swallows Came Early.
Kathryn kindly sent me the cover pic. Pretty, huh? Maybe we’ll be able to talk her into doing a tour with us. Who knows? It’s her [...]

Heh, heh See how I put Author Promotions in the title of this post? I told you I’m going to try to move my site up for those key words. Because I want children’s book authors who are looking to promote their books to be able to find me. Why? Because I think the tours [...]
