What fun it is to be an author. This morning, I woke up to a treat! I\u2019m guest blogger at Jenai\u2019s Bookingly Yours Blog, talking about how I came to write my Klept Cat Mysteries. Check it out here: http:\/\/www.bookinglyyours.blogspot.com<\/a><\/p>\n

This is actually one of many blogs where I’ve posted or where my books have been featured or reviewed. I’ve participated in many other blog sites over my career. If you’d like this sort of publicity for your book, just do as I do–seek out appropriate blogsites related to your book topic\/genre, study the format–what opportunities do they offer authors–and contact the blogger with an idea that will benefit you both.<\/p>\n

Researching appropriate blogsites can be time-consuming, but often worthwhile. You may find some helpful directories of blogsites (also try book reviewers), but mainly you’ll be using search tools to locate blogs appropriate to your topic\/genre–aviation, dogs, rodeo, cozy mysteries, grandparenting, parenting multiples, crafting, suspense, etc.<\/p>\n

Remember, you can’t sell a book no one knows about. Being featured at appropriate blogsites can help to spread the word.<\/p>\n

Good luck!<\/p>\n
