Review on The Book Haven
Cynthia Haven has one of the smartest, wittiest and most probing blogs on books – anywhere. So I’m rather incredibly blown away that she read and reviewed my book, and found some incredible illustrations to accompany her write up.

Blog Book Tour
These days, the budget is limited for touring or publicity. So I’m a one-person band in the direct promotion of my book that is gradually finding its audience. So it was my good luck and great pleasure to discover France Booktours, run by a dynamo named Emma. Each day, for ten days during my virtual book tour, 100 Places in France Every Woman Should Go was reviewed on individual blogs and posted on the main site as well. Over 600 people signed up for the giveaway, which not only shows Emma’s reach, but also proves the enduring fascination of France for women. Thank you! You can read all my reviews here.
