Authors

The tag Authors 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 blogs by children's book authors 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 authors 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.

• Totally Killer: Prologue

  
  The Nervous Breakdown — Authority: 515
  Everybody she ever met wanted to sleep with her. Everybody , not just every guy. In time, this became a burden on her, same as if her preternatural sex appeal were some grotesque deformity—a pig nose, a hare lip, a port wine stain on her cheek. She complained about it all the time.
