Last day in the blog tour... and it's up to you. That's right dear visitors, it's your turn to leave a comment for your favorite blog(s). And then we'll all get to visit them. If you have a suggestion for a blog that should be in the Spotlight here, leave us a comment. We'll try to post one a week.

Meanwhile, we're looking for authors to be guest bloggers here and tell us where they visit and why. If that sounds like fun to you, leave us a comment and we'll add you to the system. You must already have a blogger account for us to add you. If you don't, sign up (it's free) and then leave us a comment.

I think Lauren states it perfectly and isn't it nice to see a blog that tries to be unique!

"I'm Lauren Dane and I write sensual and erotic romance.

I suppose I think my blog would be a good stop on your blog tour because I hope to be more than a rehashed promo copy of my website. I try very hard to provide an honest look into the life of a working (struggling, annoyed, harried, tired, hopeful and grateful) writer.

My blog, Vixenwriter is a mix between writing, reading, daily life and general pop culture. I'd like to think I'm funny from time to time, honest and an interesting read. It's updated daily.

the address is http://laurendane.blogspot.com"

Broken Heart Vamps Blog
http://www.myspace.com/brokenheartvamps
"Hi, there! My name is Jessica Matthews and I run the Broken Heart Vamps MySpace and Blog. I don't know how the hell I got stuck with this particular duty because everything technology freaks me out. I STILL can't get the damned PDA to work right and do NOT get me started about the fancy cell phone assigned to me by the Consortium. Uh ... what were we talking about?

Right. The blog. Michele Bardsley, who's a human drone (though we Consortium vampires aren't supposed to have drones, so I have to call her "an author of fiction") said I should come over and put in my blog 'n stuff. Y'see, her version of our little town and what happened last summer is coming out in September. It's called I'M THE VAMPIRE, THAT'S WHY and she seems to think promoting it is something I should do.

Well, anyway, I hope you include us on your tour because God knows I don't want to hear Michele whine anymore about "promotion" and "sell-through" and "never selling another book because I suck, suck, suck." (She doesn't mean that in the same way I do ... because for a vampire, to suck is a good thing.)

Thanks!"

I couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks Jessica & Michele!
