I’m so excited that today is the kick-off for my blog tour organized by WOW!, Women on Writing. For the next four weeks, I’ll be appearing on a new blog nearly every day, talking about mother-daughter book clubs and the writing life. Most of the blog hosts are also giving away a copy of Book by Book: The Complete Guide to Creating Mother-Daughter Book Clubs. This is a good time to visit one of these blogs and comment for a chance to win a copy. To start off, I’m being interviewed today at The Muffin, WOW!’s newsletter. You’ll also find a complete list there of sites where I’ll be appearing from now to Mother’s Day. I can’t wait to read your comments as I make this virtual author’s tour!

Book Loons.com boasts over 12,000 book reviews. Wow! There’s also a special section on the website with links to book giveaways going on at lots of different websites. I posted my latest giveaway of Autumn Winifred Oliver Does Things Different by Kristin O’Donnell Tubb there (don’t forget to comment for a chance to win). Managing Editor Hilary Williamson says she launched the site to share her love of reading books with others and to help people connect to the books they want to read.

When you click on the Teens page, you’ll find reviews, contests, articles, interviews and more. And Book Loons contest listings are easy to review also. I was happy to enter my daughter, Catherine, into a giveaway by James Patterson of his new book in the Maximum Ride series, Fang. Catherine has read the whole series so far, and I know she’s anxiously awaiting this new book. It would be so fun for her to win an advance copy. You may also find a book you’d like to win under the adult contest listings. There are lots to choose from.
