I've told her about friend's books. I'll tell hers about yours, too. When I sell, I'm coming back to this blog. Great advice! My hair dresser is a romance reader! I’ve told her about friend’s books.

Also wondering, do you have any recommendations for hunting down supportive networks like WOW for other markets and genres?</em> Hi Hayley, I'm doing a mix of interviews and blog posts. I'm trying to mix the posts up and make them much more than "buy my book, woot!" For example, I wrote a post on mythical realism for one site and will be writing a post on unboxed marketing today for another. Once I can do it, I'll post links to everything that has already gone live on my personal blog. Your question about networks is a good one. Depending on what you write, you can contact a mothership organization (like Mystery Writers of America) to see if they have any resources they'd like to share. Otherwise, I think asking around is a great idea. Just for the record, I think WOW supports any type of book written by a woman--including memoirs. Best thing about them is that <em>they</em> then hone in on the right markets for you.

I would love to be one of the mass bloggers. It shouldn't be a huge stretch for me, since I know family relationships always manage to sneak their way into my writing. Looking forward to reading The Last Will. Congratulations! This all sounds so exciting! I would love to be one of the mass bloggers.

I've loved watching all this fall into place and can't wait to pick up my copy once it's on the shelves. I'm really impressed by all the venues you've been hitting. With so many blog appearances scheduled, are you doing a majority of interviews, or similar postings, or coming up with something original for each? Also wondering, do you have any recommendations for hunting down supportive networks like WOW for other markets and genres? I'd love to have you over at my blog, but I don't think the venue's big enough to warrant a slice of your time :) .-= Hayley E.
