Results of The Dance’s Blog Tour

Last week, my newest novel, The Dance, co-authored with Gary Smalley went on tour…without me. The Dance - Dan Walsh and Gary Smalley


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!
