Sometimes a review so good comes along that authors are loathe to let it die. They might include it in their media kit or add it to their websites. Now its life can be extended even further with Carolyn Howard-Johnson's blog, The New Book Review. This blog (www.TheNewBookReview.blogspot.com) is an extension of how this group reaches out to help authors.
