Results of The Dance’s Blog Tour
Last week, my newest novel, The Dance, co-authored with Gary Smalley went on tour…without me.
Such is the state of things in this new digital age. In mid March, my publisher sent out copies of the book to 50-60 bloggers throughout US and Canada. Most of them have already read the book and posted their reviews on their blogs. Quite a few also posted reviews on Amazon.
As of now, there are 48 customer reviews on Amazon, averaging 4.5 stars (quite a few more 5 stars than 4, too). Many have also said very encouraging things on Twitter and Facebook. Here’s a few examples of what I’ve read (if you’d like to read the full reviews, click here, and scroll down a little on the right).
Excerpts from Some of the Reviews:
“A great joint-read for married couples in their second decade and beyond…This look at contemporary marriage survival teaches and entertains. I was stunned by the power of The Dance, a relationship textbook done in a novel format…Reading The Dance encourages, nay, demands one to express their love to their spouse. A convicting relationship grabber.” — Harold “Doc” Wolf
“When a book makes me cry and I read it from cover to cover in less than 2 days — I know it is a good one and a keeper. When I opened The Dance to start reading, I was immediately drawn in…Right from the get go I was mesmerized by this story.” — Janet Sikora
“…Not only will this book entertain readers of both genders, but they will be taught powerful truths and challenged to have a better marriage at the same time. This may be just the book you have been looking for to someone who may not ever pick-up a non-fiction book, but learns well through the power of story. I highly recommend this excellent book, and award it 5 out of 5 stars.” – ChristianFictionAddiction
“These two work awesome together. Dan Walsh is an amazing storyteller and Gary Smalley is one of the best marriage counselors out there. As a team they created the best fiction book about marriage I’ve ever read and recently I’ve read quite a few. Like I said, though this book wasn’t for me (a single teen), it was still a fantastic story and that alone makes this a great book. I fully intend to read the rest of this series.” — Danyelle0423
“The Dance is excellent and portrays a perfect look at what it takes to really work at putting your marriage back together, healing the wounds, and finding love all over again…Overall, The Dance was excellent and I highly recommend it on so many levels! I CANNOT wait until Book 2 is out!” — Loren M. Mcghee
They all read like this. I’m so encouraged that we’re off to such a great start for this book and the Restoration series!
