This week I’m going on a virtual book tour for the new ebook. It means I get to go out, meet people, talk about my ebook, have a laugh – and I don’t even have to leave the loungeroom. Or get out of my PJs. Seriously, why sit in a dusty old bookstore?
If you’re not sure how a virtual book tour works, then I hope you’ll come along for the ride this week. Basically though, mum bloggers are going to host me in their little space of the interwebs. I feel pretty humbled by that thought.
Some might offer you up a wine and cheese. Others a cup of tea and a Scotch Finger. If any of them offer you cocktails though, run, or it could get messy.
The book tour, to promote Only Hearts Should Be Worn On Sleeves: The Snotty Truth About Motherhood, starts TODAY. There’ll be book reviews, Q&As, giveaways, book excerpts, videos and more. Each day I’ll update this post and link directly to the next stop on the virtual book tour.
Strap yourselves in for the 10-day ride.
Monday, April 23: Kylie of Kylie Ofiu will review the ebook and offer a giveaway.

Once the tour’s finished, I highly recommend you follow these women. Their stories and messages are inspiring. They’re mums of young children and/or authors themselves. They’ve been through much of what I’ve written about in the book before. And they’re darn fine women.
Have you been on a virtual book tour before? Or have you done an old fashioned book tour in a real, live bookshop? Who was it for?
