I know that in the case of local bookstores, I never hear of an author coming by until it's too late - you almost have to follow your favorite authors online, or visit every bookstore in your area to pick up an events calendar. ~ Kristi Sounds like an interesting way to do book tour promotion.

I've hosted to authors on my blog (Christina Katz, of Writer Mama, and Rachel Dillong, of Through Endangered Eyes), because their advice and experiences gave readers of my blog a good understanding of what it's like to be a writer and a mother (the focus of my blog). It was a great experience hosting them. While one author was a guest blogger and wrote the entire post for the day, the other author answered questions like an interview. I also tried to draw in more readers for both days I hosted the authors with the offer of a free book (donated by the authors) given to a random winner in the comments section. It's fun to also follow an author along on a blog tour to see what he or she has to say each day on different blogs.
