That’s right. Our epic 3rd Anniversary Blog Tour is finally at a close. This year, we had 18 authors write up various guest posts and interviews for 23 different blogs! Several of those blogs were ones Storm Moon Press hadn’t visited before, and we’ve found new readers connecting both with our authors and other readers over our topics at all the host blogs. Now that’s what we call a successful blog tour! If you missed any of the action, here’s a list of all the posts. We’ve arranged them so you can see the host blog, the one who wrote the post, and the basic post topic. We also had four giveaways scattered throughout the tour. The winners are noted below as well. Enjoy!

SMP is expanding, and we’re so happy to meet new readers, authors, and bloggers along the way!
