Just wanted to give another round of thank yous to Colleen Mondor, who set up last week's fabulous Summer Blog Blast Tour of 50 Authors. The whole project was incredibly informative, insightful, and inspirational, opening the door to a new and dynamic way to meet authors and read about their works.
Here's a bit from Colleen's recent blog post about the experience:
"I began organizing the Summer Blog Blast Tour a couple of months ago, for reasons I explained earlier. I had hopes that it would introduce readers to authors they have not been aware of and give them some insight into how some of their favorite books were written. I envisioned lots of jumping from site to site as readers followed the daily link lists and became more and more interested in what the SBBT was trying to accomplish. I thought I might hear from some authors or publishers who found our work to be worthwhile. I thought we might connect with a few people - I hoped we would.
"But really-- I had no idea we would hit this one so incredibly freaking far out of the litblogosphere ballpark...."
