Stop #2 on the blog tour – interview by Dr. Meg Sorick.
Thank you for channeling your inner Oprah, Dr. Meg!
I am absolutely delighted to be one of the stops on the blog tour of the very talented Ana Spoke, fellow blogger and self-published author!
Ana’s debut novel: Shizzle, Inc. has just been released on Amazon and you can find it here. It has already reached #23 in the humor category! It’s my privilege to welcome her to my blog for an interview. Now, hang on while I channel my inner Oprah!

Ruin their friendships and got them broken up. I say “nah” to that.

Hello, I intend to review Shizzle, Inc. on my blog. I would love it if you could send a media kit my way for the review. My email is smlowrywriter@gmail.com. Thanks! I laughed so hard while reading this book 🙂

I loved it 🙂 A media kit would be like a cover pic, author info (links and pic), synopsis, excerpt. Any of those that you wish to provide 🙂
