I had the idea to contact local authors and new authors I met online ... cozy mystery writers and romance in all categories and bloggers I met on line ... and set up a guest post, interview and reprint writer info feature on my blog.<br /><br />It began once a month, now twice a month and eventually once I do the research and the work, I can have one type or another once a week.<br /><br />Your idea is "in its time" and a wonderful way for writers with small or no budgets to get the word out.<br /><br />Anne, I follow you on the blog and twitter and I am always pleased with your posts and tweets.<br /><br />Janice, this is a wonderful idea, I intend to use.
