I attended the Decatur Book Festival this year.   One of the discussions was a panel discussion on Book Reviews.   This panel included professional authors and professional reviewers.   I attended the discussion and asked one question during the Q and A at the end. I also mentioned that I am a Book Review Blogger. One of the reviewers told the people asking questions they needed to come see me and see how I the Book Blogger could help them.   What these authors really needed is to check out Barb Drozdowich’s book Author’s Guide to working with Book Bloggers .   I unfortunately could not help all those authors who came to see me that day, but Barb can offer some great suggestions.   This novel is about twelve chapters.   Barb used a survey of all of us Book Bloggers to help give guidance to the authors we are likely to work with.   This survey is included in at the end of the book.   The main topics covered are:   How to select a Book Blogger How to contact a Bo

Meet Tyler Chambers the main character in Travis Casey’s series, “Tyler’s Trouble Triology. My author thought it would be funny to stick me in the 1980's. Granted, it was a cool decade – but seriously? No cell phones or internet? Anyway, I was about to get banged up in jail – just juvenile stuff really, but the cops lost their sense of humor – so Travis made me join the Navy instead of serving time with some guy named Tyrone. Wow! What an adventure that turned out to be! I spent a couple of years in Hawaii but got mixed up with two chicks that had me in a Trouble Triangle. I'm still not sure if it was love or lust, but it really did my head in. So I jumped at the chance when Travis offered to put me on a sea going ship traveling the world – little did I know the ship was setting sail into Oceans of Trouble. I would have loved it except the Captain of the ship wanted to lock me up for something I didn't do and some whack job tried to kill me just for fun.
