Media Candy with Dee & Marina  

Join me and my special guest co-host USA Today Bestselling author/Movie Producer ReShonda Tate Billingsley(Simon & Schuster) chop it up with Booktour.com CEO & co-founder Kevin Smokler about this great site for authors and why The Devil is a Lie. (Marina is on vacation, but may pop in.) Kevin is our bro-host for tonight's show.

I have been using Booktour.com this year for several projects and know it will be a help to any author seeking affordable ways to promote their current title. Booktour.com is a free service and does a great job integrating reader, book store and author participation.

From my assessment if more authors, readers, bookstores, bookclubs, publishing houses, lit pubs like me use this service we will be able to have tighter and faster and stronger reader community. We can bring community spirit back to reading. Just as important we can bridge whatever autonomous divide that was created, whereby bookstores, publishing houses and authors aren't working symbiotically to sell books.

I hope you join us tonight.
