Children’s Book Blog Tour

I was shocked to click over to The Hidden Side of a Leaf today looking for a blog tour post and to find instead an announcement from Dewey’s husband telling us she passed away last week.

A whole lot of info on book blog tours.
If nothing else at least watch this you tube video I found on the site. Hysterical.

Sorry.
I agree with those of you who said that instant success is not the greatest thing, but long-term success would be reached if we put up quality content on [...]
