How to Join the Tour

All About Writers & Books

• I really enjoyed this interview with Pamela Samuels Young over at Book Junkie, especially when she talks about trying to get people to critique her first novel.
• New Way of Book Reviewing was good for a chuckle. It’s one student’s comparison of ‘Titanic’ and ‘My Life’ by Bill Clinton.
• Where have I been hiding? I’m wondering because I’ve run into quite a few book reviews lately, like Defeat the Darkness and Spider Bite, that seem like they’d make better comic books or graphic novels.
• Book reviews that caught my eye this week and the books that got added to my GoodReads to-read list:
  • Over at Paranormal Haven a review of Born of Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon. This is an old book and first in a series I might get hooked on.
• Don’t forget to check out the regulars:
  • Nicole Hadaway’s Writer Wednesday over at her Vampire Blogspot.
  • More from Ian LeWinter over at Overbury Ink in Why We Write, Part 3. And if you missed Part 1 & Part 2.

All About Writing & Publishing

• Kristin over at the Pub Rants blog brings up some interesting points on required contract verbiage changes due to the whole evolution of eBooks. This post is specifically about publishers holding reserves on eBook editions.
• Social Networking for Authors: Tips from Margo L. Dill. Title says it all.

Other Blog Tours

• WTFckery or Not, You Decide is sort of a blog tour of bizarre stuff.

And…this week I added the following blogs to my watch list: Book Junkie & Query Shark.
