Warmly, Lauren Schedule Your Summer Tour Now! Note Deadlines for Summer Tour and Tour Schedule Blackout Dates! iRead Book Tours will be taking a summer hiatus from July 1 to September 5. Here at iRead Book Tours, we are quite aware the most authors must count their pennies when it comes to promoting their books. Experienced authors will tell you that "summer beach reads" is a fallacy--except for big named authors like James Patterson and Nora Roberts. The rest of us hold off on launching our books and touring them until September, when book bloggers and their followers return from their vacations.
