I’m so excited to share my special day with you. Yesterday, I picked up my ARC’s (Advance Reading Copies) of my book: Freeways to Flip-Flops: A Family’s Year of Gutsy Living on a Tropical Island.
I’m happy to have met a wonderful French Canadian, Rene Gagnon, the CEO of Allura Press, who printed my ARC’s.
I would like to invite my kind and generous blogger friends, Twitter companions, Facebook Groups, authors, writers and anyone from the media from the U.S., and around the world to let me know if you would like to participate in my upcoming Gutsy Virtual Book Tour.
If we have similar interests and audiences and you would like to:
- Review my book
- Interview me in a blog post
- Have me write a guest post
- Skype interview me
- Have me answer your questions via a podcast
- Have me answer your questions and make a YouTube video for you
- Have other suggestions?
- Have me speak
- HAVE FUN
Please e-mail me at: Sonia@soniamarsh.com,
WomenROK is hosting an event today with a tropical theme at The Wine Artist, in Lake Forest. I shall be speaking there this afternoon from 4-6:30 p.m. Come on by.
Please share how you’ve done a virtual blog tour with us. Any tips?
Sonia!
I am so excited for you!! I am sorry I will not be able to attend today. This week is insane. Last week of school, kids are in a musical – dress rehearsal tonight – show opens tomorrow.
Next week, starting on Tuesday, I will be partly “normal” again and want to connect with you, read you book and do an interview or review or both!
How about next Thursday? Let me know your schedule. And again, huge congratulations for reaching this exciting milestone!
All the best,
Jil
Jill, Thanks so much for all your support. I want to hear about your book and your new position with the newspaper. Are you planning any more travels with your kids? Cancun is nice.
How fabulous! I’d really love to read your ARC but just don’t have time right now to read it in the time period. Can’t wait until it’s out and published for real.
Congrats.

Wow! Congratulations Sonia, this is fantastic news and I’m so excited for you having followed your story for the last year. What I want to know is how is it possible to purchase one of your advance copies as I would love to read it in the near future. Once again well done, you must feel so pleased!

Maggie,
How was Senegal. You looked so happy on the photos there. I had a great time in Paris, London, where I met Muriel, the FrenchYummyMummy blogger. Did you go to WDS in Portland?
Yes, Skype would be great. Just try one day and we can see if we are available at the same time.
Wow! Congratulations Sonia, this is fantastic news and I’m so excited for you having followed your story for the last year. Keep on posting here I will be back soon.

Jess, just saw your website with the travel guide for people in New York City. Thanks for your interest. My publication date is early September. The ARC’s are being sent out now for endorsements.
Hi Sonia,
Congrats, that is exciting and brilliant to see a pic of you with the book. It feels as if we’ve been talking about it for years (maybe we have!) so I know how much work and anticipation has gone in to it.
Of course you’re welcome to guest write for Get In the Hot Spot any time. When you’re ready if you send me premade tweets I’ll send those out too. I know everything helps:)
In the meantime well done you:)
