Little Shepherd VBT - Days 2 and 3

It's hard to keep promoting when you're sick, but promote you must. This virtual book tour has been another great success so far. Little Shepherd has made the Amazon bestsellers list in its category two times since the tour started. I was just looking at my sales information over there and copies were sold in Utah. I don't even know anyone there. Being an author can be fun sometimes.

So, this week's tour has been a challenge. Between spending time in bed, rescheduling one tour stop, and then another site being down, not as much touring is going on as usual.

On Wednesday, I visited The Hot Author Report. Here's where I realized how overwhelmed I've been since moving back home after losing power at the end of October. I thought I sent the host something, but I didn't. Luckily she posted a spotlight for me.

If you haven't read an excerpt or any review blurbs from the book, you can do so at http://www.thehotauthorreport.com/little-shepherd-virtual-book-tour-november-and-december-2011

Today, my good friend Vanessa from Coffee and a Keyboard was kind enough to ask me back to guest blog. I wrote up this silly little post about how motherhood and writing are similar. You can catch that one at http://vrleavitt.com/?p=981

Tomorrow I should be at Mom's the Only Girl.

I hope you're having fun gearing up for the holidays. I'm a bit behind in my shopping, but with Advent in full swing, we're trying to get the kids to focus on others and not so much on what Santa will place in their stockings.

Little Shepherd Virtual Book Tour - Day 43

Merrily we roll along....

It's hard to believe the LITTLE SHEPHERD VIRTUAL BOOK TOUR '10 is almost over. Where has the time gone? There's still time to pick up a copy of Little Shepherd for holiday gift giving, so I hope you take advantage of free shipping from any online vendor offering it, and pick up a copy today.

I'm not sure how it became Thursday so quickly, but here it is. This is the last day I am at The Hot Author Report. When the blog first debuted, I wrote a post on five thing you didn't know about me. Well, today I am offering up more of myself in this article titled, "Five More Things You Didn't Know About Children's Book Author Cheryl C. Malandrinos".

Original, don't you think? Hey, titles aren't my strong suit.

You can find that post at http://www.thehotauthorreport.com/five-more-things-you-didn%e2%80%99t-know-about-childrens-book-author-cheryl-c-malandrinos and it shows off some of my sense of humor.

Yesterday, a review of Little Shepherd was supposed to appear at Lynn's Corner. Unfortunately, Lynn's computer has a boo-boo and is in the shop. She did, however, get a chance to pre-post this article from me about old stories being made new. That's what Obed's story really is--the Christmas story told in a new way in the hopes that young kids can discover the beauty of Christmas miracles.

You'll find this post at http://lynnmcmo.com/2010/12/09/old-stories-told-in-new-ways-by-cheryl-c-malandrinos/.

Remember to leave comments for your chance to win a gift basket filled with Christmas goodies.

Thanks for your support.
