Little Shepherd Virtual Book Tour 2011 Coming in November and December!

I will be taking Little Shepherd on a virtual book tour with Pump Up Your Book in November and December. I am looking for appropriate blogs to host me during my tour. Christian fiction bloggers, Mommy bloggers, and those blogs run by churches or Christian schools are of high interest. If you’re interested, please leave a comment on this blog post or email me from the Contact page on my website.

Little Shepherd is available for review in PDF or printed format. Bloggers outside of the United States will receive PDF copies.

This book is availabe for purchase from:

Amazon

Guardian Angel Publishing
Indiebound.org
 
Autographed copies may be ordered directly through the Books page on my website.

 

Thanks!

Talking at the Long Ridge Post A Note Forum This Week!

Many of you know that I graduated from the Long Ridge Writers Group Breaking into Print  program in 2005. One of the nice things they offer is regular support to their students and former students. They have a newsletter and also a forum.

All week long I am their special guest on the Post A Note forum at The Professional Connection Interview. We’ll be talking about self-promotion. This is an important topic for all writers.  If you are a student or former student, you can find the forum at http://longridgewritersgroup.net/index.php
