Unpacking After a Blog Tour
Last February 1st I ventured out on the trip of my life - a blog tour for Courting His Favorite Nurse my March debut Harlequin Special Edition, and later including my late March e-book release from the Wild Rose Press - An Indiscretion.
Without leaving my home, I traveled the globe getting to talk about topics important to me. Some were educational, some were interviews or just-for-fun events like first kisses. I got to tell the blog followers about my soft spot for nurse characters, my favorite premises for books, on and on I blabbed. I mean, I blogged. And you, lovely blog followers, gave me someone to blog to. Thank you so much for following along, for reading, for commenting, for participating in my very first blog tour.
I also want to send special thank yous to the wonderful blog hosts for the last two months. Without your diverse locations and styles of websites, I would never have been able to reach out to new readers and cyber-friends. Thank you.
I won't kid anyone by saying a blog tour is easy, it isn't, but it is worth every word written into each and every blog entry. My efforts at entertaining and enlightening blog readers have been incredibly well received. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, thanks to Nas Dean's efforts to organize the tour. Thank you, Nas.
Along the way, I gave some gifts and books, and to prove I didn't fall down on my end, here is the list of winners.
Love Cats 2/1 - LaVerne Clark
Sunday Smooch 2/12 - Kate Kyle
Seekerville 2/16 - Cathy Shouse + Cindy W
