Blog Tour Sample: Come Play with Us. And Learn!

I am participating in a fun blog tour with a variety of authors--everything from nonfiction writers to poets. I thought that if you followed along it would be fun and you'd see how Karen Cioffi planned this. Not a bad thing for you who have never done a tour using your own blog. Plus, it would give you a chance to win some prizes.

Here is the tour schedule for the month of November. The number before the host's name is the day in November that he/she will post in the tour.
