My First Guest Blogger!

On Thursday, January 27 I will be hosting my first guest blogger. Joanna Aislinn is a fellow Wild Rose Press author who will be talking about her love/hate relationship with her blog. Her debut novel, No Matter Why, is now available. Here's her bio:

Joanna Aislinn’s day-job is taking up too much of her time and energy these days, but it’s teaching her to re-invent herself there and at the writer-end of her life too. (Thank God her husband, two teenage boys and three cats are willing to put up with her!) She’s put more finishing touches on her next story and hopes the day it makes it to the readers’ hands they’ll love it as much as she does. She’s also spending a lot more time learning about craft and promo (the dreaded P-word), but finds herself incredibly inspired at the blogs she follows fairly religiously: Bob Mayer’s Write It Forward, Kristen Lamb’s Blog, Jenni-Holbrook-Talty’s The Glamorous Life, Anna DeStefano’s How We Write (alternating Wednesday series with Jenni Holbrook-Talty), Selling Books and 1st Turning Point. (I know: when does she make time to write?) Get to know Joanna and her writing quirks at her website and blog. Her debut novel, No Matter Why, is available in digital and print formats.

  1. Good luck with your 2011 goals and I too have a love hate relationship with blogs. Others' blogs, I love, mine-not so much. So much fun reading other blogs. Promotion, ugh. And, your left at the altar series sounds fabulous.

  3. This author is a little confused about where she's posting her comments, lol. Maybe it's the snow; should have blogged about my love-hate relationship with the heavy white stuff. (We are buried AGAIN! Think it's thigh-deep again, too. Sigh.) I'll be in and out between bouts of shoveling--can barely see my car!

  5. Glad you feel that way too, Vikki. So hard to keep up with everything. When, deep down, it truly is a labor of love and/or feeds the spirit, we find a way to embrace all of it and plod forward! Thanks for stopping by!
