I&#8217;m just managing myself and that&#8217;s chaotic enough for me!<\/p>\n<p>I would also like to thank all of the reviewers. For no monetary exchange whatsoever, they took the time and effort out of their equally busy schedules to not only read my book, but to do a professional and\u00a0thorough review about it on their respective sites. These men and woman are the unsung heroes of the literary world and I am eternally grateful for all of their support and wonderful reviews\u00a0they gave<em>The Chronicles of Zee &amp; Zoey.<!--more--><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I am especially thrilled that the reviews were positive!! For me, writing and publishing the book was like giving birth &#8211; a true labor of love and I obviously have a bias towards the story! There is no guarantee, however, that\u00a0the rest of the\u00a0world will have the same opinion and so in many ways, this tour\u00a0was a nail biter and quite nerve wracking.\u00a0What many of you may not realize,\u00a0is that when a review goes up, I am not privy to it ahead of time&#8230; I am reading it for the first time just like anyone else can and would always keep my fingers crossed that the reviewer enjoyed the story!! You really do need to have nerves of steel in this industry and I am wiping a collective sigh of relief off my brow!<\/p>\n<p>So, thank you again to Dorothy, Pump Up Your Books Promotions, and the Reviewers for such an amazing experience.\u00a0For those of you that may have missed\u00a0some of the stops or are new to my blog and would like to read the reviews, please be sure to check them out when you have a minute:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monday, November 14<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Interviewed at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/publishing-in-virginia-beach\/cat-lovers-will-love-deborah-barnes-the-chronicles-of-zee-zoey\" target=\"_blank\">Virginia Beach Publishing Examiner<\/a>\u00a0by Dorothy Thompson<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"hearts\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/hearts.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"71\" height=\"30\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, November 15<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Book reviewed at <a href=\"http:\/\/splashesofjoy.wordpress.com\/2011\/11\/14\/puyb-virtual-book-publicity-tour-the-chronicles-of-zee-zoey\/#comments\" target=\"_blank\">Splashes of Joy<\/a>\u00a0by Joy Hannabass<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"hearts\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/hearts.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"71\" height=\"30\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><strong>Tuesday, November 15<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Interviewed at\u00a0by April Pohren<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"hearts\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/hearts.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"71\" height=\"30\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday, November 18<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Guest blogging at<a href=\"http:\/\/myheartbelongs2books.blogspot.com\/2011\/11\/guest-post-author-deb-barnes.html\" target=\"_blank\"> 4 the Love of Books<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"hearts\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/hearts.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"71\" height=\"30\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, November 22<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Guest blogging at <a href=\"http:\/\/vrleavitt.com\/?p=907\" target=\"_blank\">Coffee and a Keyboard<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"hearts\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/hearts.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"71\" height=\"30\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Monday, December 5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Book reviewed at <a href=\"http:\/\/madmoosemama.blogspot.com\/2011\/12\/book-review-chronicles-of-zee-zoey-by.html \" target=\"_blank\">Mad Moose Mama<\/a>\u00a0by Jennifer Chatham<\/p>\n<p>Book reviewed at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reviewsbymolly.com\/2011\/12\/puyb-tour-review-chronicles-of-zee-and.html \" target=\"_blank\">Book Reviews by Molly<\/a>\u00a0by Molly Edwards<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"hearts\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/hearts.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"71\" height=\"30\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, December 6<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Book reviewed at <a href=\"http:\/\/moments-of-beauty.blogspot.com\/2011\/12\/chronicles-of-zee-zoey-by-deborah.html \" target=\"_blank\">Reading, Writing &amp; Ruckus<\/a>\u00a0Jolene Arrant<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"hearts\" src=\"http:\/\/zeezoey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/hearts.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"71\" height=\"30\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday, December 8<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Book reviewed at <a href=\"http:\/\/ohiogirltalks.blogspot.com\/2011\/12\/zee-zoey-book-tour.html\" target=\"_blank\">Ohio Girl Talks<\/a>\u00a0Vanessa Brooks<\/p>\n<p>Book review at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.libslibrary.com\/2011\/12\/chronicles-of-zee-zoey.html\" target=\"_blank\">Libby\u2019s Library News<\/a>\u00a0Elizabeth T.
