I have the honor and pleasure of kicking off the virtual book tour of Sharon Harvey Rosenberg's new book The Frugal Duchess: How to Live Well and Save. As part of the tour, Sharon invited me to submit a guest post on her blog The Frugal Duchess.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for Sharon as we have traded money saving tips over the past three or four years. Sharon's new book is unlike many books about personal finance. Instead of dry tips, rules and regulations for handling your money, her book is an engaging story of how she learned to live "like a duchess" on a working girl's salary. The Frugal Duchess is worth purchasing, reading, implementing and then adding to your personal library for future reference. Pick up a copy today. It is a worthy investment!

Note: It is also worth checking out Sharon's column in the Home and Garden section of the Miami Herald. Don't forget to bookmark it so you can check back each week.
