Starting in May, I'll be hosting Reviewers and Book Bloggers on a regular basis! With the floodgates of fiction opened to indie, hybrid and traditional authors, reviewers are an incredibly and increasingly important part of the equation. Readers, Authors and Publishers depend on reviewers!
I'll be highlighting them in my newsletter as well.
If you're a reviewer but you don't have your own blog, this may offer you the nudge to take that next step! If you'd like to visit and take part in an interview, please let me know!

And, because Reviewers are our Friends, and I'm always eager to meet new ones (Reviewers and Friends!), I'm offering a giveaway of my recent release, Saguaro Sunset until May 17th.
