That's the truth. I'm really thinking about constructing the blog on WP or Blogspot but then I'd have to figure out how to get the darn thing loaded in my current site. I actually did a post, header, the whole thing but for some reason I don't have access to the blog page to enter....I notice there hasn't been any action on my blog here, although it hasn't been up long, so I don't know if I should keep posting; kind of groping for insight on how to go.

I'm getting blitzed...problems with new devices..ARGH. I use Square Space which is what the person who was helping me early on with the business end (so I could write). It's on my website. So far I have no idea how to even post--he posted something for me before. However, just a few minutes ago I may have made a breakthrough. Otherwise I'm going to try WP or Blogspot. I'm just reluctant to get involved with the previous assistant because I really have to know how to do this myself. :( I'm sorry to be so late in responding because I want you to know how I appreciate your responses here. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks, again, for this good information! Nice to understand both the Giveaway and the Virtual Tour. I would prefer to do Wordpress, Blogger or Blogspot but I'm not real "technical." I can keep up with GR Blog, but is it possible to link a Wordpress Blog, for instance, to my Site?

My blog, If I Go, went live here yesterday. The title is also that of my novel, and reflects my wandering soul which my protagonist inherited! My posts will be travel/literary related .

Hey, Hazel. I'm glad as well! I've been in and out of GR for awhile, but it's a great resource for writers as well as readers so I'm hoping I can get up and running here. A couple of things: first, I am in a Goodreads giveaway that ends, I think, June 10. This will sounds stupid, but how exactly does a giveway get interest in my book and how do I know it? Will the interest be reflected in Amazon sales (paper and E-version available there)? Also, where do I find info on Virtual Book Tour? Sounds good. Yesterday my Blog went live here. My first blog. I have to get one up on my Site but it seems trickier. Very intuitive here. Thanks for the shout out!

Hi everybody! My debut novel, IF I GO, is available in print and on Kindle. Set in the late 1950s-early 1960s, it's a story of the choices the young, main, characters make and the consequences of those decisions as they struggle to overcome the bigotry of their small town and the indifference of their families.

Hi Hazel and everyone. I self published my debut novel, "If I Go," and now am struggling in the wilderness of self-promotion--something that's really hard for me. I'm starting my first blog here, and trying to get bookstores to take a couple copies on consignment. One has so far. Any tips are really welcome and thanks!
