I've tried a few blog tours with mixed results. I have gotten some nice reviews from a few, but rarely as many as were advertised. Some were very well written though and I could tell the reviewer put some time into them. As far as sales, no significant bumps resulted from any of the tours.(less)

If you need to know more about it, do a little research. The more you look into the topic, the more you might discover. Your story might go in an exciting new direction you weren't even considering.(less)
