I do appreciate that this may have felt like a bit of a slog to some of you as I’ve tried to share my excitement about the recent blog tour. In practice, the tour itself finished two weeks ago, but so many bloggers participated I felt it was necessary to share...

When you write a book, I’ve always felt you should write it for yourself and not try to satisfy an audience. Obviously, this means you won’t satisfy every reader, but you never will anyway. What reminded me of this was the review you can read if you click...

Not having participated in a blog tour before, I didn’t really know the drill. I’d read blog posts that had featured in tours and could see there were a range of types. Reviews clearly form part of a tour, and so do guest posts. What I was conscious of was...

When I reflect on my life, there are times that I am proud of, times when I know I’ve done good things, either by helping others or achieving things for myself. (To be fair, those times have been more than compensated for by moments of shame and letting myself...

The Bloggers Bash was held in May this year, and I was quite heavily involved in the arrangements in the run up to it and on the day. Some bright spark decided I should act as MC for the day. For those of you who have already seen this photo, I can assure you I was...

Obviously, the tour is an adventure, but so is one of the blogs that reviewed Ravens Gathering during the tour: Adventures in Literature. As with so many of the bloggers who took part in the tour, it’s been good to ‘meet’ Ashley, and I hope our...

In case you haven’t spotted it, Ravens Gathering has been on a blog tour recently. The tour itself ended over a week ago, but there were so many participants, it would have been foolish for me to share all of the posts as they arose. Instead, I’ve chosen...

The world of publishing has changed dramatically in recent years, and there are many reasons why this has been the case. One outcome has been the lack of risk-taking, but that’s not just true in publishing. Lorraine at The Book Review Café has given me the...

I had the pleasure of meeting Sue Featherstone about 18 months ago at the first Book Connectors event I went to. In fact, I’m pretty sure she was the first person I spoke to properly when I got there. Since then, I’ve been to a couple of others and she was...

Another day, another book review. And you’ll get no complaints from me about that. What I liked about this review was that it leapt out the page at me. And it did that because Lisa used some very clever imagery, as you’ll see when you go through to her...

When you go on a blog tour, you expect there’ll be some reviews. It’s not an expectation of each participant in the tour – they don’t have the time! But there will be some who do; you just don’t know which ones. So, as each new post...

I’m new to blog tours, so I had no real idea what to expect in terms of my input. I suspected there would be some guest posts required, but I didn’t know what form they would take. What makes sense to me is to fit in with the style of the blogger, whether...
