hopping along the blogway and blog update stuff

a bit of blog hopping Wendy has a great interview up with Tess Gerritsen... go forth and read! D. has up some new info on 'His Mistress by Morning' KarenS says what she wants about DDD Just Like a Dame that minx reviews DiW New To Me Blog Some Guest Author info... and one hopeful want Robin Schone will be doing a guest author day, which is way cool me think. More info as we cement details. Jo Goodman may join us, will let you know how that works out. And I am crossing my fingers that Linda Howard will come play, but that could end up being a dream. Nicole Jordan is hopefully a go but for the next new book. There are a few others in varies stages... Author Week Update Brava Bad Boy week Jill Shalvis Karen Kelley Helenkay Dimon Dianne Castell are all set... and there are three other emails out waiting for firm commitments Alphrodisia Viva Anna Cece Stuart Sasha White Nikki Alton Lucinda Betts are a go... I am hoping I am not missing anyone... EEK let me know if you have signed on and I don't have you listed! Avon Red Sylvia Day Cathryn Fox Toni Blake Lynn LaFleur Delilah Devlin are set! Samhain week (one of the most recent added so the least worked on so far) Beth Williamson Rene Lyons are good to go with a few others in the works! If you are an author of one of the above lines and wanna play, send me an email. If you are a reader, start thinking of nifty questions to ask them. searching the blog Oddly enough I generally have a reason for doing things... even if they seem odd. And there are some Keywords I have in front of the subject of some posts. The reason is if you are looking for all the ebuzz mini reviews you could search EBUZZ and have them all come up. Well that is the theory anyway. I don't think it is working! So I may have to change out my search engine thingy. If you are curious here are (most I think) of the keywords I have been using... EBUZZ ebook blog review or ebook news WANT book I want but do not have, yet CS coming soon - meaning review and/or book is in the mail to me. Or it is a review I am set to do. REVIEW (full)review by me - yes hard to figure out that one... Info random book info I found interesting or thought someone else would find interesting want list I have had a want list in draft for FOREVER. I am thinking of adding my amazon wishlis to my side bar as a quicker way to hightlight upcoming books (I want) that might be new to you. Question is... would that display my address for everyone to see? Anyone know? Epublisher Interviews I am starting up the Epublisher interviews soon. Any questions readers want to know? I am already planning on asking: If they think their website is user friendly and if not who are they going about fixing it. What they feel they offer reader that is different or better than other Epubs. What they think of Ecovers and what they think the future will bring. Where they see epublishing going. What new and or different lines or such they are bringing out. What they are looking for in new submissions. And for the newer start up... Why they joined the epub world. If you are an epublisher and I haven't contacted you yet (I am not through sending out requests) and you are interested in playing... do email me. I am also going to ask for them one other post, a sort of AVONish editor rec post. I don't think Avon does it anymore, but back in the day, there was a page in the the book that the editor told about new books. I am not sure if this will work as epubs have many more new releases per month than a print pub. But I would love it if they did it. Sort of a highlight on the pub, from an editor/owner/press person/whoever gets subjected to me. oh and one other thing... I will be sending out a short interview to bloggers. Like five questions or so. Feel free to play or not, no pressure. It isn't really a reader interview a la maili cuz she kicks ass at it. And it isn't really an author interview a la karens cuz she kicks ass at it. But more of a blog thing... ie What made you create a blog? type thing... it will be short and sweet. I will post it shortly (hopefully this weekend) with my own answers.
