“The Internet Mommy: Inspiring Interviews and Stories from Mothers Who Work and Play Online” Hits Book Shelves Today
Founder of “Go-To-Mom TV” Pens her latest Book to Inspire Online Moms around the World

Los Angeles -- October 1, 2009 -- Kimberley Clayton Blaine, also known as the Go-To Mom, announces the release of her new book: “The Internet Mommy: Inspiring Interviews and Stories from Mothers Who Work and Play Online.” The popular parenting expert-turned-author is exploring how social networks influence the way online moms make money, view life, find friends and raise kids in today’s digital world.

Blaine’s book features essays from more than 40 hip and well-known mom bloggers from around the country, which she refers to as her “circle of moms” she found through social networking and blogging.  Blaine is a long-time producer of online content that examines women and family issues, and has built her support-base of mom-bloggers on Twitter, Facebook, Google alerts, and while simply being loyal readers of their blogs.  Blaine hopes her personal “circle of moms” will inspire other online moms to build a support-system that allows them to identify opportunities and thrive online.

“Consider this book ‘mommy power unleashed,’” said Blaine. “The Internet has created a giant playground for moms to create a staggering array of businesses, including products and services that real moms need and desire. If this book can inspire one woman to take the plunge and support their livelihood online, then it’s a victory.”
