Still you have to promote your book somehow. Anne Gallagher had a good post recently about how she believes in the slow way - write the book and let it happen. There has to be an in between. Now that I've actually finished my first novel, I have to start thinking about this and I'm not one who likes to waste time.<br /><br />I'm glad to see you back on the blog!<br /><br />DeniseDenise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744705444101795157.post-89038791424963544282014-03-04T16:05:46.812-08:002014-03-04T16:05:46.812-08:00Anne,

I'm glad that you haven't done a blog tour and have wisely saved yourself the hassle and the money.<br /><br />I usually post on a variety of subjects on my new blog: http://lisamaliga.wordpress.com <br /><br />NW,<br />Thank you! I think the interviewers were less than interested, or maybe they were overwhelmed with other things. You're right--informed bloggers would have asked relevant questions.<br /><br />melbo,<br />Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I'm glad you discovered my books and took the time to read them -- I'm so touched that you are letting me know how you feel. <br /><br />My intention of writing about my blog tour experiences is to honestly describe what I've gone through so that others can avoid making the same mistake. <br /><br />I appreciate your kind words.<br />All the best,<br />Lisanotesfromnadirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904500676081267972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744705444101795157.post-78250146959119303152014-03-04T10:47:11.069-08:002014-03-04T10:47:11.069-08:00I found your books quite by accident while browsin...I found your books quite by accident while browsing on Amazon. I bought "Love Me Need Me" first and then went on from there. I felt compelled to read them through and found myself, propping open my eyelids late at night to do so.<br /><br />I'm sorry the blog tour didn't work out. It must be totally disheartening to go through something like this after all the work you've put in. <br /><br />Wish I had something more constructive to offer than this but just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your work and I look forward to reading more of it.melbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14032793912135092967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1744705444101795157.post-62584262702342388812014-03-03T21:41:00.504-08:002014-03-03T21:41:00.504-08:00Welcome back!

Interviewers really do ask better questions when they're knowledgeable about the authors and their work.
