Quite the Hiatus, huh?

I haven't given up blogging, I promise. I kind of let Facebook take the place of my blog since it is much less time consuming. I should have the time again once we move to Illinois and get settled. In less than 2 weeks we'll be in a hotel for a week before leaving Germany. I know I'm going to cry when we leave. I have basically LOVED everything about our life we've had here for the last 3 years.

The movers have come and gone, and we've been down to one car for almost 3 weeks. I don't like this part of an overseas move, being without our stuff for months, along with having to get rid of food, 22ov appliances, etc. It's weird being in this 6 bedroom house with very little furniture loaned from the base. At least I have a lot of time to clean the house, instead of trying to do it all in a day.

I'm excited we'll be spending almost 2 weeks with family in Utah before we go to Illinois. My sister's due with her first baby while we're there, so I'm hoping I get to see my new little niece. We're soon off for another adventure!

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I've found it helpful to do blog tours or send out review copies to book bloggers. I don't do a long blog tour. In the past, I've done a one week tour or I've done a "release day" tour. I find that this helps to gain reviews, which is important in the first month of sales. People are more willing to take a chance on a book that has a few reviews. Some blogs use widgets for readers to sign up for your facebook, twitter, or newsletter, so I find that helpful for connecting with new readers. I have tried ads in the past, but they are hit-or-miss. I think it can help with name recognition, but it's not necessarily something that will get you a lot of sales (unless you're doing a Bookbub or Ereader News Today spot)
