While I still consider myself a relative newcomer to the world of blogging, in recent weeks I’ve been invited to guest blog/interview on a few neighboring sites. Sometime in the coming months, I’ll be featured on Jauntsetter.com and on Romance Writers on the Journey. I will be sure to post the specific dates these appearances will take place and will of course encourage everyone to visit.
However, these invitations left me pondering the blogosphere. Each morning I sit down at my computer with a cup of coffee and visit some of my favorite blogs. Some people read the paper; I read blogs—specifically blogs about or written by romance writers (although I’m a sucker for the travel stories, not to mention travel deals, featured on Jauntsetter.com).
Romance Writers on the Journey is of course one of my stops. I discovered this site, which features interviews with not-yet-published writers and debut authors, through a fellow Beau Monde member. The next stops on my morning blog tour often include The Goddess Blogs, Kwana Writes, and the Romance Roundtable. At The Goddess Blogs, I am always curious to see which author is blogging that day. Today, I thoroughly enjoyed Suzanne Enoch’s St Patty’s Day post. I love how Suzanne created her own holiday, Freedom Day, to commemorate the day she quit her day job to write full time.
At Kwana Writes, I look forward to the daily updates on her adorable dog named Jack, which sometimes includes pictures. And last, but certainly not least, the Romance Roundtable often features guest bloggers as well as insightful, humorous posts. Be sure to stop by on “Wacky Wednesdays,” I’m still in stitches over the deer on the wedding cake post.
Sarah,
I’m honored that you include Romance Writers on the Journey as one of your blog stops. And I’m excited that you’ll be my guest on April 27. I look forward to learning more about you and your writing journey, which I know your visitors will be as well.
I’m a new member of the Romance Roundtable! Thanks for mentioning us in your post.
I think my next stop will be to check out the other blogs you talked about…Oh, but first I want to read the excerpt of your book, The Virtuous Courtesan.
Thanks again!
Christiana.
Hi Sarah, thanks for the Romance Roundtable mention! It’s wonderful that you enjoy our blog.
I have a quite a few blogs that I enjoy, that’s it’s usually not possible to visit everyday – but I get there when I can. The Romance Bandits (http://romancebandits.blogspot.com/) is a great blog – always entertaining. Lori Brighton (http://www.loribrighton.blogspot.com/) has interesting guests and I’ve found several new authors to read from there, and even won a book! Alice’s Restaurant (http://aliceaudrey.wordpress.com/) is another really good blog – check out Fridays there with her serial, Suzie’s House, or Saturdays with the episodes of Jack and Jill (they’re a hoot!). If you like history posts, Mr. Al has a spot there every Wednesday giving us his unique twist on the Prince Regent!
Thanks for mentioning Romance Rountable, Sara! Glad you enjoy my Wednesday Weirdness pictures
Off to read your excerpt too. I love regencies
Thanks so much for joining us at the Romance Roundtable! We have fun creating the blogs and hearing that someone likes them is a special treat. The other blogs you mentioned are some of my favs, too.
I LOVED your excerpt of The Virtuous Courtesan. Where and when can I get my hands on a copy of the book?
Keli, I look forward to my guest appearance on the 27th!
Ladies from the Romance Roundtable, thank you all for visiting my blog! And thanks for taking the time to read my excerpt. I’m currently searching for an agent/publisher but will sure to keep you updated on when the VC will be in print.
Hi Sarah!!! We’re tickled pink you enjoy the Roundtable. Tks for your visits, we love having you.
The Addison/Campbell case is mind boggling. Not only because she succeeded but how thoroughly… I hope you post new info if you find it.
The Virtuous Courtesan and Courting Scandal sound great. Good luck with the Agent/Publisher hunt. I want to read them!!!
Hi Sarah, I’ll back up the ladies, thanks for mentioning RRT. Romance Bandits is a mega treat, as well as Lori Brighton. One of my favorite blogs, besides Romance Roundtable, is Romance Writer’s Revenge. Then I always make the rounds of Casablanca Authors, Caren Johnson, Bookends, Leah Hultenschmidt’s blog, oh gosh there are so many agent and publisher blogs that I follow.
I had read your excerpts a few weeks back. I’d love to read the Virtuous Courtesan.
Oh and welcome to the blogsphere, it is very addicting.

Hi, Sarah. Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for mentioning us in your blog. It’s always neat to hear from readers who enjoy our Romance Roundtable, and I hope you’ll continue to be a regular visitor.
I really enjoyed reading the excerpt from The Virtuous Courtesan, and I’ll keep watching for a publishing date!
Dear Sarah,
I am new to blogging and love to go to all these great new sites you are introducing me to. I share your blog with my girlfriends who all love it! Keep it coming!
