AROUND THE BLOGOSPHERE:

  • J. Kaye's Book Blog examined her audience in the article, "What's Your Target Market?" I never really thought too much about who you are! I know that you are a book lover (otherwise, why else would you be here?!?), but have no idea on the further details. I might eventually get around posting my own piece of the pie, but in the meantime, why don't you introduce yourself!?!? Are you a friend, fellow blogger, simply a book lover, in the publishing world, author, etc.?
  • Online Publicist has started a fun little feature, interviewing readers one question at a time. The first question is "If you were writing a book about your life, what would the title be?" My answer . . . NOT Life As We Knew It!! What would your title be? Be sure to head over to Online Publicist and share!!

ADDITIONAL UPDATES: I'm off to bed to finish Legacy!! See you in the morning for an AMAZING interview you will not want to miss!!!
