If I were to invite a few guest bloggers, what authors/industry pros would you like to see here? I have a couple of ideas in the works, but may not get things rolling as soon as I’d like since I’ve got so much writing to do. Having a list of suggestions would be cool. Maybe little known authors you really admire, etc. Ones you’d like to tell others about but have never had a forum to do so. Have you read a book by an author you know nothing about and would like to? Lemme know! You can even email me if you’d like, instead of posting here.
Also, since DEEP BREATH is showing up on shelves now, it’s reminder time. If you buy a copy, enter the DEEP BREATH CONTEST! Or enter anyway – it’s a faboo prize! If you buy it and blog about it, enter the contest and send me the link to the entry so you can get a free copy of my next Brava per the the DEEP BREATH BLOGGING BLITZ!
Here’s one blogger’s entry: Sara Walker Howe on Deep Breath
But nothing out there compares to Alias. So I turn to the book world, and lo and behold, Alison Kent has the series for me
YAYAYAYAYAY!!
Oh, and check out the The BWAHA: The Bitchery Writing Award for Hellagood Authors.
On Monday, 4/3 at noon central, I’ll pick one name from those of you who comment here (because I really did introduce a discussion question up top) to win a copy of DEEP BREATH.
Comment
I would love to see you have editor Kate Duffy here. I find her really interesting, and I enjoy reading about that side of the business as well.
I’m hoping to get my review up this weekend for ya….
Comment
I’ve got a couple of ideas, Alison. I’ll email them to you!!
Comment
I’d love to see you interview some of the Blaze authors that don’t have blogs or I can’t find online anywhere. Maybe the new ones who I can’t find out much about?
Comment
I would like to see some agents, such as your own ;) or Deidre Knight, Roberta Brown, etc.
Also…debut authors because they have some interesting things to say about how they did it. :) Allison Brennan’s fantastic. Same goes for Lydia Joyce, etc. I personally think their story of how they did it is more relevant than how Nora got started because Nora did it so long ago when the industry was very different from what it is now.
Comment
i love the blaze authors blog.
everyone should read afternoon delight by mia zachery, it is so great!!!
Comment
I enjoy books by author Michelle Albert. She seems to come and go and had another pen name a little while ago.
Comment
Maureen – I LOVE Michele, and she has a book coming out very soon! I’ll have to snag her over here.
Comment
Michele’s book is HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT. It is a great one. You’ll enjoy reading it and the others in the series.
Comment
May I suggest Angelique Armae? She’s a new author to me and very low profile but I think her writing is very good.
Comment
I just purchased Nicola Cornick’s THE NOTORIOUS LORD and I’d like to see you interview her.
Comment
I’m always ready to learn about new authors and to find out more about their books. I’m sure anyone you would decide to have as a guest blogger would be interesting to talk to.
Comment
Don’t even get me started, Alison, I have a long long list. It includes well-known and very very little known authors.
* Melody Thomas
* Sandra Hill
* Cheryl Holt – Her older books are great. She was especially great with villains.
* Patricia Sprinkle
* Anna Volk
If you can do African-American authors:
* Lexi Davis
* Margie Gosa Shivers
(P.S. I don’t have a blog so, I can’t blog about Deep Breath but I belong to 800+ Yahoo Groups and quite a few reader boards and I’ll make post there. I should think of a great sig line to rope in new victims … err… readers)
Comment
How about inviting some of the other blaze authors like Janelle Denison, Tori Carrington, Leslie Kelly, Joanne Rock.
I think they all would be fun to have as a guest.
Comment
How about some of the Blaze authors?
Comment
Some others are:
* Tess Gerritsen
* Carla Neggers
* Heather Graham
* Jan Coffey
Comment
Alison, I post comments over here, ergo I’m already snagged. :)
Thanks for your comment on my books, Mahaira! Maureen, there’s been some lag time in my publication schedule since I switched to Pocket, partially my fault for being so slow, but hopefully that will change soon.
Comment
How about authors like Cindy Gerard and Tara Janzen?
