I emailed Fire/Ice and received an invoice, then I wrote back stating that I wanted them to send me an invoice the following week when I got paid. I just reconsidered. I never heard back. That is their prerogative, and I respect that. They probably thought I was a flake, but an unexpected expense popped up.
Anyway, I have booked with Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours, and I can tell you I have been quite pleased with them thus far. The 4 week tour is scheduled for next month. It puts me on 15 blogs, is giving me 9 reviews, 2 guest author spots, and 3 interviews. Amy Bruno who is the coordinator has been GREAT! It was not a "takes your money, then nothing" type of operation.
I don't know if it will result in sales, but it should result in exposure as I checked the rating of the various blogs on their tours. I have found several tour companies that will book with blogs that have NO readership whatsoever. But they don't care as it fills a post and they collect the money.
Thus far I am very happy... just thought I would update. Thanks
