I’m a bit obsessed with blogs right now.

Maybe that’s because I’ve been setting up guest blogs for a blog tour to promote BEAGLEMANIA, my first Pet Rescue Mystery from Berkley Prime Crime--a spinoff series from my Kendra Ballantyne, Pet-Sitter Mystery series. Hard to believe that its debut is less than a week away!

I’ve been working on my guest blogs and accepting requests for a while now. A couple have already posted. Many are scheduled for next week.

In all so far, I’m scheduled to post on 17 blog sites besides Killer Hobbies, and to have another post about me that someone else is writing. I try to make each one different yet they’re mostly about my new series, why I wrote it, how I researched it, and how it helped to change my life. I’m now involved in pet rescue myself.

I’m always delighted to see comments on a blog site, and especially on my posts. That indicates people are not only reading what I say but have an opinion about it. But even if the comments are few, the primary blogger and people who usually follow that particular site will read a post and think about it, even if they have nothing in particular to say about it. That works, too.

You’re here reading Killer Hobbies. I’m delighted to welcome you! But I’d love to know why you’re here. I hope it’s because you enjoy my fellow Killer Hobbyists and me, what we have to say here, and what we write in our books.

How many blogs do you read religiously? Do they help you make up your mind about what books to read? Will you pick up a book because you’ve come to know a writer a little bit from her/his blogs?

In other words, I’m encouraging your blog comments!
