Author

Tag details

The tag Author is a popular tag often used by bloggers discussing the people who write and create books. Many authors also blog regularly and their blogs have huge followings. Some examples include the blogs of Meg Cabot, author of The Princess Diaries, and Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point. Anastasia Suen has a nice listing of children's book author blogs on her web site.

More and more often, book publishing companies are relying less often on traditional book tours, and the burden is increasingly placed on the author to use their own blogs as a key means of promoting their books. In addition to using their blog to promote their own work, many authors are using their blogs to promote the work of other authors. A great example of this is Cynsations by the author Cynthia Leitich Smith.

The sender was Mr. Dean Koontz. What? Dean Koontz?! I opened it up. There was a form letter folded in half over a book. The part I read ...

  • Breaking the Devil by Bailey Bradford


    Elisa - My reviews and RamblingsAuthority Authority: 480
    I was expecting to read a romance, maybe even a bit on the sad tone like Brokeback Mountain, and instead I read an erotic romp. Mack and Justin, the two heroes seem almost like they are training to auction for a x-rated movie, and their recovery time is unbelievable. Joke aside, there is a lot, lot of sex here, and ...

  • Pure Sex by D.J. Manly


    Elisa - My reviews and RamblingsAuthority Authority: 480
    In Pure Sex, like often in D.J. Manly’s books, sex is approached almost like a recreational activity. I’m not saying it in a derogative way, the men in this book, and in all the previous I read by this author, enjoy sex, a lot, and they are quite open (no pun intended) about it. But probably the main difference ...
