Survival of a Blog Tour
Well, I survived my very first Blog Tour. In case you’re not familiar with what that is, think technological book tour. Instead of the author going from place to place to introduce his/her book, the book itself is sent to various reviewers for their honest review. The reviewer then posts it on their own blog, as well as on Amazon, …
