Why hello again my trusty peeps.
This is just a quick note to say …
I’M GOING ON TOUR!
Ok, so it’s not an actual book tour and I’m about 30 years too late to be a roadie for The Grateful Dead. Instead I’m doing the twenty-first century covid crisis type of tour:
A BLOG TOUR.
(Honestly, I’m not really sure what that means. You too? Oh, good, we’ll experience it together.)
Essentially it entails visiting some lovely writers’ blogs, answering a few Q&A’s, humble-bragging just a wee bit about a certain book I have coming out soon, and then thanking them copiously for getting the word out and supporting other writers.
So how does it work?
Well, here’s a nifty little chart.
| Date | Website / blog I’ll be visiting | Who runs it? |
|---|---|---|
| April 2 | https://susannahill.com | Susanna Leonard Hill runs a lovely site and participates in “Perfect Picture Book Friday.” She’s invited me to answer some questions about why I wrote Listening to the Stars |
| April 10 | https://viviankirkfield.com | Vivian Kirkfield is a very sweet writer of fiction and nonfiction. I’ll be featured on “Will Write for Cookies” answering her 5 questions for writers. |
| April 23 | https://writersrumpus.com | Writers’ Rumpus (what a fun name!) is comprised of a group of writer/bloggers in the Boston area. I’ll be interviewed by Marianne Knowles (who works at the Museum of Science) about my lifelong fascination with/fear of Van De Graaff generators. (That’s a MoS joke. No, I’ll be talking about the life of Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell of course!) |
Please visit these wonderful sites and support children’s book writers by buying and reviewing their books! I’m hoping to hear back from some other website owners about additional dates, so keep your eyes peeled for more info.
And join me on my first ever blog tour!
For now, TOODLE PIP AND CHEERIO!
