  3. Doug: I think you're being facetious, but I can and will tell you more.

    Kat: This is good practice for us. I'm with you. Let's get each other published and famous. Sooner rather than later. You and I need to get moving. Can't let Mr. Fab beat us; D

  4. This is interesting. Thanks for informing us. Off to see the first on the list. (Couldn't believe it's January 20th already.)

  5. Yes, this is going to be fun - because when my children's geography series starts coming out - I definitely want to get some exposure and I think with the help of the book blog tour group I can do that - plus I'm hoping to be at a couple of book festivals and such - I know at Decatur I'd like to do a reading and have the kids guess which state they are in, using my maps and have little prizes and everything - so if any of you have ways of getting state related items, drop me a line - I was thinking either bookmarks about the state with state info like the symbols and stuff like that or postcards about the state overall - I need all 50 states and lots of each - drop me a line at my email addy and let me know - which can be found on my profile on my blog - E :)

  6. Maybe I should move on from the Classics in Crime? Only - I'm so old-fashioned when it comes to whodunits that I want a story I can throw my brain at, not a social study. I read other books for that.

    Thank you for a nice comment! Now, back to installing my new video-program.

  7. I don't blame you for thinking that of me, Nessa, but it was a flash of insanity. I think I get the basic idea, bloggers with books making one another aware of their work but I'd like to know more about the process.

  8. Shari: I know, January has gone by so fast. I'm so happy you're checking it out.

    Elysabeth: Your books on the 50 states sounds like a very fun way to learn US geography, which after spelling was my worst subject. I will be checking them out.

    Runee: I think you might find Dana's mystery challenging.

    Doug: Never take anything I say too seriously. I know you are a lovable puppy; D

    Are you interested in the tour process for promoting your own book? I'm new to this so I really don't know what's going on but I'm learning. I think if you go to the second stop on the tour, Blog Book Tours you might find some information. I think the gist is to use the internet to promote our published works. We're using blogs, email, and aol to communicate.

  9. This is interesting. I will check it out.

  10. Andrea: Follow the tour and comment the whole week to increase your chances to win a copy of the book. If you don't win, it's worth it to buy the book.

  11. Nessa -- how is it that you and Kat got involved with this? Did I read Kat correctly -- are you coming out with a published book?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Quilly: I think we both "met" Dana through Mr. Fab and she asked us to participate.

    It is my intention to send my first book out this year. I plan on having it ready by the end of February.

  13. Blog Book tours, you are a very busy person, Nessa. I will come back and take a peek.

  14. Well thanks for the invitation. I will look in on yours and Kat's stops but that's all I have time for. I 'm not writing a book. Good luck on yours.

  15. A neat idea: kind of a readers' round robin of visits spread out amongst the days. Saves gas too!

  17. MJD: Great. I think you will like Dana's article. I've already had a peak; )

    Dr. John: I'm glad you will come back to see. It's not just for peopel with books to sell. It's mostly for readers.

    Goatman: Exactly. Gas is way too expensive to be running around the country. And for those of you snow bound, this is much easier.

    Gledwood: Be sure to let me know when your memoirs are ready; D And your mousey is cute.

    Sandra: Welcome and thank you.
