I found Ciara’s blog through my friends, Lynn Rush and Danica Avet. Ciara is a wonderful, charming lady and she has some great content on her website and blog and I’m not just saying that because of what she has there today. LOL! One thing she features is once a week she finds a book that attracts her and posts it on her blog. She then tweets it (and so do her followers) to see if the author finds it and her website. It’s such a fun and neat idea. A cool way to get potential new followers as well.
Ciara recently sold her YA book to Turquoise Morning Press. It’s called Rise From Darkness. I’m very excited for her. I hope to get to meet her at RWA Nationals this year. This last week and a half, she’s been participating in the Alphabet blog challenge and today is “J” day. I was thrilled when she asked me if she could use me as her “J” word. How fun is that? Check out her blog and yours truly today. AND I hope you’ll become a follower of her great blog if you aren’t already. http://www.ciaraknight.com/

I tried to access Ciara’s site but it isn’t responding. That happens and will pop over later. I love this blog of yours and again I’m impressed over how current you keep it.
I may even have to rethink a personal one. Do you ever cross post?

Thanks Lavada. I appreciate the compliment. I really had nothing to blog about today until Ciara asked me to be her “J” word so then I had something to say to link to her. It seems that something like that happens when I hit a dry spell. I have several friends that only post 2-3 times a week on their blogs. I think that’s a good number. I just like to yak! LOL! I have 2 days that are themed so it’s easier to do more then, I have cross-posted on occasion and know several people that do. Take a dive in. If you find you don’t like it, you can always stop!

Jillian,
I’m SO SORRY! My blog went down today. It NEVER goes down. I got it back up around 4:00 PM. I’m not trying to make the rounds and found your post! You are so sweet! Thanks for the shout out. I LOVE your blog. 🙂
