1.) What is a Blog Tour any way?

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. Many are associated with online newsletters or e-zines. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. As of September 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 106 million blogs. That means on any given day there are millions of blog owners who must post fresh and original content on their blog or in their online newsletter.

A Blog Tour is an opportunity for blog owners to host special guests on their blog. This hosting can be carried out in various ways from posting personalized Q&A, to allowing the guest to write a journal entry for the appointed day. Some special guests are asked to respond to reader comments, and others appear in live chat rooms associated with the particular blog. An organized Blog Tour also allows readers to travel from one blog to another with the special guest. When combined with the release of a new book or product, a Blog Tour can introduce an author to countless readers around the world.

About the Author

Jacob Israel is a loving son, brother, husband, and father. For twenty years he has written professionally for stage, television and film. Suffering from childhood with a debilitating autoimmune disease, Mr. Israel searched for answers as to why he and so many others in this world had to endure so much. After years of studying various faiths, he found the truth was right there inside him all along. His desire to inspire and encourage others is why he does what he does.

This novel, which is the culmination of his experiences, hardships, and victories, was God’s gift to him and now he gives it to the world.
