What
is the Fantastic Blog Hop?

| Rachel Rueben -Cleveland |
A
few weeks ago, I had a chat with some friends asking if they would be
willing to do a blog tour with me in order to publicize our work. Of
the two dozen or so people I invited, only three said yes. Then I got
in touch with a friend I haven't seen in ages and asked if she would
like to join us.

And so the Fantastic Blog Hop was born!
The
idea was a simple one, but getting it all put together wasn't as
easy. For starters, we had to get our acts together and provide book
blurbs, short biographies, excerpts and answer interview questions.
Then we had to make sure each person had the required information.

While
all this was going on, we discussed when to do this. We chose the
first week of April. No one wanted to be first. There was a mad
scramble to take the end of the week, leaving the early days for
those who were too slow to respond.
Not
realizing that each of us had different levels of skill for preparing
these blogs, I forged ahead, wielding words and pictures haphazardly.
It's been quite a learning experience, but a worthwhile one. I hope
the others feel the same way.

Our tour bus will make stops in Kissimmee, Florida; Cleveland,
Ohio, Minneapolis, Minnesota; Peterborough, Ontario and Daytona
Beach, Florida. So climb aboard, fasten your seat belts and hold onto
your hats because you're in for a great ride!
